Any reports on last night's ratings?

I thought that too. All of a sudden he says, put it on. What the...?
I thought it would be good.
So do we get to find out what the 5 on his tattoo means? Nope.

Since Lost came back, for the past three weeks CSI: NY has beat it by at least 2 million viewers. to check every nites primetime tv ratings go to the primetime tv ratings thread in the tvtalk section.

The only one of those shows I watch is Lost, but it looks like I'm pretty much the exception.

If people are complaining about this show then I assume they don't watch anything else on TV? Because for all it's faults it's still more intelligent than almost anything else on. Frankly, I think the ratings should go down, it doesn't make any sense that a show this intelligent should be popular. Sad but true.

In the beginning.....

This show was intelligent = 22 million viewers

in the now....

This show has become stupid = 12 million viewers


You do the math.... please.

bloody terrible episode. Jack is now my least favourite character and i hate his flashbacks

I wanna see more of Sayid and locke !

Is there a fan site or perhaps a message board thread that keeps track of all the unanswered questions in Lost? I seem to remember it a while back but I'm not sure.

You would hope they do since so many questions have been posed but few answered.

I'm sure the writers would be interested in such a repository as well.

I'd love to see a list of all the DVDtalkers that have renounced this show. Just so we can track to see if they post again on the show after they claim that they are no longer watching. My bet is that most of the people saying goodbye to Lost dont have the balls to stick with it.

It means he was on Party of Five and part of that tattoo might actually be a real tattoo that Matthew Fox has.

The reaction of both the supporters and the detractors just amuse me at this point. It's becoming pretty evident that there is plenty of stuff we want answers to that the producers have thrown out there for giggles with no intention of dealing with at a later point. I also think it's pretty apparent that they do have some sort of plan for some portion of the questions they have raised. It's a mixed bag. I wish I could say I expected better, but the TV shows that do a better job of it than that are few and far between. They'll continue to alienate some of their peak audience and will continue to satisfy a bunch of those people as well. It is what it is.

I'm sticking with the show. Thank you and drive thru.

95% of them do. It's really pathetic.

I'm not missing a single episode between now and the series finale. Nor have I missed one up till now. This still beats most shit (Heroes, 24, Prison Break) on TV.

In my ranking of personal favorite shows, LOST is still #1, but just being honest with myself, Heroes has been much better.

Heroes? You mean the show with the mystical, unexplained connections between the characters, the cute little black kid with special powers, the sweet, innocent girl named Claire and the dark, mysterious man who says very little but yet poses a potentially huge threat?

Is there another "Heroes"?

Well, if you remove the word "Heroes" from his post, he could very well be describing plot points on LOST, which I think was his point.

If we're going to go that way, I think you'd have to admit that Heroes has thus far delivered far more of what it has promised than LOST has. You can debate the artistic merits of each show and whether the reason Heroes has delivered more is because they promised less, but it's an interesting comparison so far. I think Heroes probably has the same level of audience satisfaction right now that LOST did in its first season. Where does Heroes go after it (appears to) deliver on everything it promised by the end of the first year? Will it continue to be compelling?

heroes >>>>>>>>> lost

Heroes plotting has not been good this year. Nikki and her family have been boring all season and they ways they've found to keep Hiro busy until his next been plot arc have been laughable at best. Heroes is good, but it's no Lost.

Yes, it's definitely lacking that "People sitting around locked in cages for the entire season and ignoring most of its other characters" quality unique to "Lost".

I think Lost had a much more successful first season. Heroes has been too inconsistent thus far, whereas I can't think of many faults during the Lost S1 run.

That said, Lost had the gift of making the imagination run wild, but also created expectations for resolution which it has yet to fill. Unfortunatley, there's also limited space to work when you're confined to set main characters and a set locale. Heroes has the potential to be the longer running series, Lost can still pull out and be the more satisfying... it just really needs to fire some writers. They've also been painfully neglecting the most interesting character on the show (the island).

The cages in Lost didn't bother me until this last episode. If I never see that mini-island again, it'd be too soon.
