If you're like myself and any number of people, perhaps even millions of people, Wednesday night has become the night where you find yourself plopping down in front of your television to watch the ABC television show, Lost. The show premiered this past fall, and it was the highest premiere debut for a show on ABC in nearly nine years. The show had been hyped long before the premiere. Information about the show and the cast was leaked online, and people latched onto each and every piece of information they could find.
Theories were made about what would happen on the show before it aired. Those theories were only fueled even more once the pilot aired officially. A version of the pilot had also been leaked online, and another version was shown in Hawaii on a big screen to thousands of people. Everyone has a theory or thought about the show. Those theories are either fueled more and changed as the season has progressed. Now the end of the first season is near, and much has happened.
Each and every week we are given a look at each of the different characters and their lives before the fateful plane crash that brought them onto the island. Each and every single person on that island had something in their past that they weren't totally happy with. That flight was either them running from something or running to something.
On the island, not one person is not important. Each of the main characters have something they can share with the rest of the island, and this is shown by the amount of time each character gets to develop their one story. If one character does not appear one week, you are sure to see the next episode. Each episode has been said to have a passage of two days, so we get to see the characters pretty much every day on the island the way it is.
This past week, the twentieth episode of the season, "Do no harm", played out, and it was the culmination of a season of waiting for those that watch the show on a weekly. Claire gave birth to her child, at the same as someone else on the island lost his life. This kept the balance of the number of the people the same. Since Claire's back story episode aired in December much speculation has surrounded her and her then unborn child. Now that the child has been born, things are now moving forward. So many of the theories have surrounded whether or not her son is the next coming of the anti-christ or something of that sort.

I'd really sit down weekly if they would stop airing repeats. It's out of hand. Are two new episodes in a row too much to ask? Best show on TV? Yep. Starting to become annoying? Sure is.

I agree with you. The airing of repeats has been annoying a lot of the Lost faithful viewers. With only two or three episodes left in the season, it would be nice to just see them all now. Rather than wait until May 4th.

I agree, I rushed home tonight, only to find a repeat AGAIN!! This is annoying, I want to see the season continue.

i know. That's the one downfall of this show. The long span between episodes in this second half of the season.

I like the airing of repeats, because then I can catch what I missed before. I imagine they'll show repeats until May, when it's sweeps time. Gotta get the ratings!

That is exactly what they are doing. The show returns on May 4th and goes through May 25th. The finale looks to be broken up into 3 parts. That's the schedule I saw anyway.
