The hair was odd, but she was an effective Other. I normally would have been thrilled with the addition to the cast. But more characters and more layers of mystery might not be what this show needs.

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

I knew I recognized her! She looks so much different though.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
My summary of last Lost episode;
- Producers decide to finally do an episode about Jack's tattoos, whilst the viewing figures continue to go down (11%). Producers can't quite understand why people are stopping watching, but tattoos will totally bring them back.
- Promo people REALLY HAPPY!
- How to break the story: pick several ideas out of a hat, try to hatchet them together, end up with a script which makes no sense, has no purpose to the overall arc, sidelines nearly all of the cast, provides no compelling reason to watch, adds more layers of mystery without explaining anything..
Just to summarise it up, we went 9 episodes on another island in an underground base thing, kidnapped 4 people, let 3 go, left the island, didn't explain what anything meant to the viewer, sidelined most of the core cast and lost a good chunk of the viewers.
Apologies if any of the LOST producers read here, but seriously guys: you suck.

I haven't dropped the season pass, yet. I think it's because my TiVo is still shiny and new and I want to use it to record everything! Otherwise, I'm paralyzed with not caring about Jack, Sawyer or Kate.

I just checked out Lost's recent ratings. 12m. I'm wondering how much Lost costs an episode.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Is 12m good or bad? I live life with Veronica Mars ratings, and if VM ever got 12m, we'd be in CRAZY WACKY LAND.

12M is the lowest Lost has ever gotten. If the ratings stay there (or go down), it's possible that the show could go bye-bye.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Also like "The X-Files," "Lost" proved that offbeat tales and characters can mean a limited shelf life.
Y'know? There are an awful lot of shows that didn't run 9 seasons that could've been use as an example here.

However much X-Files sucked by the time it died, NINE seasons is a damn good run for any show.
Not making five seasons (the optimal money-making point for syndication) is actually a bit of a black mark for any show. It will make significantly less money in the long run (though DVD is changing that).
Lost is likely looking at less than five.
