Apparently when the show was pitched to ABC, they had story lines for the equivalent of 7 seasons...

I'm definitely a fan. I agree that Eko has been underutilized. His episode was the best of this season.

yea most def ekos episode was the best.
 
 i love lost although i feel the writers are making it up as the season moves on, hence why theres one new and two old episode.
 
 im really hooked on lost and 24.

Yeah, Alias went way downhill...hopefully, it will be better this week, and wrap up.
 24 is good, but lately, only the last 5 minutes of each episode are interesting. (last and this season the only good actor is Jack Bauer. The Pres. blows and looks like Nixon.)
 LOST is slow this season, but I guess they have to slow it down or else the show would finish. I have no interest in the married couple...Charlie is a wanker this season...Jack is the best little actor ever. I love the Shakesperian style/themes b/w Eko/Jack/Locke.

24 has the ability to start really strong at the beginning of the season and then totally suck at the end.  last years series ending was momumentally lame...

well libby is starring in another TV Show, so i would say possibly her character (although she is listed as a guest star)
 
 its not in hurleys head - pretty sure anyway, since this has been a 'fan' theory since season 1 (hurley was the first person cast)

I really like Lost but I'm not really feeling 24.  For me, it boils down to, "Does this show allow me to suspend the constraints of reality?" I'm willing to accept that the islanders have been there 40 plus days with perfect stubble and nice hair. I'm not willing to believe Jack Bauer can get anywhere in no time flat, always has a wireless signal and relays instructions so perfectly that Chloe never needs clairification.

Funny, as much as I love both shows, I have a harder time believing some events on 24 than I do on Lost.  
 
 For me, 24 started out great and completely believable.  It's definitely gotten unrealistic as it's gone forward (Jack coming back from the dead and still saving the day without a moment's rest?).  Now it's so over the top that it's like pro-wrestling; you take the bad with a grain of salt and marvel at how balls-out Bauer is.  
 
 And don't get me started on Chloe.  She's the heart of that show now.  I fell in love the moment she gunned down those baddies last season.  Do you think we'll ever learn why she's such a bitch?

lol...yeah, he never needs Darby.
 
 I still can't get over the other actors on 24 - deplorable. Especially season 4. (Even guys hate Kim.) Also, when I describe the show to people who have never seen it, I tell them if they added a laugh track it could be a comedy. Sometimes, they are bumbling idiots, one thing after another thrwarting their efforts. I mean really, catch the bad person / detonate the freakin' bomb already, okay?
 
 I just read through a bunch of spoilers for LOST -- nothing really to report except the next episodes will finally rev up a bit. Re spoilers for 24 - 3 more years I guess...Maybe Jack Bauer should have an evil twin brother. (If the writers go this way - remember, I get all rights.  ;)  )
