    How Do You Watch 'Lost' on a Train?

    I'll be on a train on Sunday, during the finale of Lost.

    I'll have my laptop with me.

    There is supposedly a Wi-Fi connection on the train.

    The train will be traveling through Canada.

    How do I watch a stream of Lost on the train on my laptop in Canada?

    Thank you for any and all suggestions.

    Not sure of the time it is on and stuff, but can't you try to stream it somewhere static (i.e. at the station) before boarding the train? Otherwise I have feeling you'll probably rage trying to steam it on the train.

    Just wait a little while, the episode will be on the website of http://abc.go.com/. Not sure when exactly but a few days after it's aired on television maybe. It's a good show, i watch it to.

    my understanding the wifi is only available in the Montreal <--> Ontario part of the trip, and even then is not a internet made for streaming. Best bet really, wait til you are in one of your long term stops.

    Don't know much about your trip but in montreal, they have a room with unrestricted wifi and free snacks.

    Someone may have a justin.tv stream up of it as it happens; it's either that or a slingbox if you want to see it as it happens. Otherwise you'll have to wait for torrentz.

    just wait until it's over, take a nap or something then torrent / download it. It may even be leaked online early, you never know.

    Sidereel typically has streaming links up 15-30 minutes after it airs.

    Honestly if the stream got cut midway through I'd rage so hard...

    Justin.tv is best bet, usually multiple people streaming it on new episodes.

    Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll attempt everything.

    I figured that we might have to resort to a post-airtime torrent but I was really hoping to read the Lost thread along with watching the show. Makes it a communal thing and all.

    Can always hope that the train has a TV on board and I can convince people to watch Lost.

    I wish I knew enough people who watched Lost to have a Lost finale party like these guys.

    I've said this a million times before... I will say it a million more times if I have to.

    Just about any TV program you want to see, just wait 1-2 hours it'll be up, and if it's popular it'll be HD.
