the way shows and radio r polled is rubbish., i know this due to ive worked in radio a long time. and have had no 1 radio show for 3 years straight, (drum N bass).
polls r done in differnt ways, the core who do these rateings seem to go thru the same source, and yes over time SOME people lose interest,,
the people who make these BOLD statements on million lost , ur blind to the internet, they must be back in the days of typewriter, i was their.,
yes the internet downloads and TIVO r the way the near future is going, one is cos the time zones in the us and also the overseas viewer who sees lost 3 to 6 months later,

Flashes Before Your Eyes was the most brilliantly crafted Lost episode yet!!!!!!! It’s curious how there can be so much negativity in the press when everyone I know is raving about how good it is!

Guys let me tell you the story. I have just seen the latest episode “flashes before your eyes” and I am coming immediately to my favourite lost site to read some comments.
You know why ?
Because this episode was AMAZING, one of the best I have ever seen : how could American people not watch this wonderful episode and prefer the dumb CSI ?

I have to say sometimes I might be not enthusiastic about one episode but for this one I just have one thing to say : “WOW !!”.
It was so moving, so fascinating, I can’t even find words to express the magic I felt watching it.

For me Lost is definitely the best TV show ever.

You know what worries, maybe it’s too good to please lots of people. There is too many depth in the thoughts conveyed by the show.

I am so amazed by the question of FATE in the show : this is a real philosophical topic here.
And the answers given by the writters mean so much to me, I believe in the Lost philosophy.

I should also confess that Desmond is my favourite character, and in my mind his story is the greatest of all the losties.
Yet, please my beloved American friends, watch the F… commercials on wednesday night so that the show could last forever and … make money for ABC !!!!!

However, I did hear that newspaper readership was down :)

Will newspaper readership continue to decline??

Will there be newspapers next year??

How many years are left for the print press??

One lady I talked to said that the 10pm airing was just to late for her and she would just Tivo it and watch it next day. Another one told me she usually watches it via her cable’s “on-demand” service.

However, I think that taking the “love it or leave it” approach is wrong. I think complaining is exactly the right thing for fans to do. Casual viewers do not care enough about the show to go on message boards and voice their objections. They just stop watching, and their departure is visible via Nielsen numbers dropping.

Of course the dropping numbers of viewers are difficult to diagnose. The creators of the show might notice them, but they usually don’t know why the show is slipping.

And this is where we come in. We scream, we whine, and speak out minds on public boards. We say what we don’t like about the show, what would we like to be changed and etc.. If the creators want to know why the numbers are slipping, they just need to look at what the fans are saying.

So I thing complaining is a good thing. It gives the people in charge an idea of what would please the audiences. Right now we want answers, and it seems that this message got through to the creative team, as they are now talking about setting an end date for the show and thus give themselves an incentive to resolve all the mysteries and write a compelling, ending. :)

When Lost fans from the sites you list complain about the show, it is because they love Lost and are giving constructive criticism. And you’re right, the dominating opinion on the forums and blogs is hugely positive. Leave it to the media to pick out, twist around and blow out of proportion the one or two negative posts they find.

NEW CLIPS!
