Had the writer's strike not happened, we would have seen 16 uninterrupted episodes, as promised. As it is, they're still giving us 13 episodes total, and these shows have really been delivering the goods. BIG payoffs for the fans who've stuck with it. Jeez, LOST kicked more ass tonight than all the "event" comics I've read in the last year.

Well, if we used this same criteria for comics these days I'd say just about every comic series had jumped the shark since so many have missed shipping dates, had long delays thanks to writers and/or artists, etc... I never know when many particular titles are going to hit the racks. goodbye comics, you lost me. “lost has jumped the shark 3 times already…just the fact that we never know when it is going to be on doomed this show. goodbye, you lost me.”

It has little subplots and mini arcs; people who are seemingly dead can return anytime the writers want them to; it messes around with time apace continuum; some people seem to have superpowers or are mutants.

At least that's what he said was playing when he was at your place last.....then again....that's Billy talking.... I can't believe you let him stay there. Beau Jimmy,

It certainly hasn't jumped the shark. Hell, it hasn't even put on the skis yet. I've read a fair amount of spoilers the past few days, and it sounds like things are about to blow wide open, starting with tomorrow night's episode. *(minor spoilers*) In the next few episodes, we will learn who's in the coffin, we'll find out much more about what "smoky" really is *and* we'll see what was happening the day John Locke was born...and who was there.

With all the TV Turds floating on the screen these days I'd think that you'd have more patience. Even a bad , poorly scheduled episode of LOST beats a regular on time season of (Insert 90% of the schedule here) I hope to see you in Pittsburgh this weekend, bud. Beau Jimmy,
