Yeah, yeah ( yawns). It will be interesting to see just how many viewers continue to watch it once it returns. Their actions, (ABC) has pissed off a lot of viewers in the last season and a half. Add to that a hard to follow story line that makes you have to keep up with everything going on and then constantly goes to back stories, then they followup with repeats. At least this time they are promising 16 new episodes in a row. When they first premiered they had the 8 pm slot, and in my opinion should have stayed there. Now the main reason they are moving it to 10 pm is so there is no conflict with American Idol, something that may have never happened if they stuck to their original format. Even the show that was supposed to "fill in" for Lost while it went on hiatus flopped after only a few episodes, even after heavy and expensive promotion by the network. I, myself became somewhat confused by the first six episodes this season, partly because I became bored at the direction the show took this year and fell asleep during it's airing. I told myself I'd watch those episodes again online before the new ones begin tonight, but that hasn't happened. An article in our local paper yesterday made me realize that I'm not the only one that feels this way about Lost, and there is a lot of complaints from viewers about the first few episodes focused too much on the "Others" and Jack/Kate /Sawyer storyline. The producers were quoted in the article saying that the focus will now shift back to the other "main" passengers and their rescue attempts and life on the island post crash for the rest of the season. It will be interesting though to see how many people stay with Lost for the rest of this season.
