That's a new series low for LOST, beating the previous episode which plummeted to 9.2 million ... btw for fans wondering what happened to Scrubs and Better Off Ted according to wiki they will be airing next TUESDAY (wtf?) and then the Scrubs Finale is Wednesday.

 

[Agent Richard07]

^ Is it a series low? I thought Jax would have said so. Lost has been in the 8 million range before.

 

[Mr Light]

According to the wikipedia page it is, but who knows if that's true

 

[bigdaddy]

That's because last night's LOST episode was crap.

That's because last night's LOST episode was crap.

BigDaddy hated it well it must of been good then actually I really enjoyed it and Lost has been very decent this year but nothing can compare to its opening year and season 3x03 to the finale run, that was epic.

I thought it may of been a series low but LOST has been in the 8 million range before (the finals pushed it to 9.2 as will these finals probably push it to 9 milion). Lost don't forget is typically the number 1 DVR rated show so the overall audience including web views is still in double digits.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

I don't think most LOST viewers are psychic enough to know an episode is going to be 'crap' before it even airs and so skip it completely.

Time shifts excluded, of course.

Anyway, it's on my DVR even as we speak....so I guess I'm part of those uncounted millions.

But you want to talk about a show that's crap? The Unusuals. I've given it 5 episodes....don't think I'll be giving it any more. Might try it one more week, but right now it's looking like it's coming off my recording schedule.

Wonder how that is stacking up to Life on Mars at the episode 5 point......

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Lost's demo is still healthy, more than enough to carry it thru its conclusion next season.

 

[bigdaddy]

Maybe they went "Oh it's a Daniel storyline, must be crap".

Once again, he forgot about the grandfather paradox!!! Crap episode in my book then, all the other episodes besides 1 have been good. People are bailing on the show because of the time travel.

 

[Mr Light]

LOST can't get canceled they signed the three year deal back at the end of S3 (thank god!)

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Maybe they went "Oh it's a Daniel storyline, must be crap".

They don't put that much thought into it - maybe people tune out of episodes because they disliked the previous one, tho.

Once again, he forgot about the grandfather paradox!!!

That's still way open to question. I think the overriding philosophy is still predestination, but Daniel may have misled the others into thinking it's not. How are poor Jack et al supposed to know "how time travel works" in this show? There's no rule book and regardless of what they do, they cannot know whether they are changing anything till they do unequivocably change something.

 

[bigdaddy]

They can't change anything because of the grandfather paradox and Daniel should have known better because everything ended up happening just like it was supposed to.
