Want TV News? Visit TVOvermind.comWith what will no doubt turn out to be a choice of words that will haunt him, SciFi-Wire writer Fred Topel headlined his interview with Michael Emerson with the question “Still care about ABC’s Lost?“ I’d be willing to bet there are plenty of people out there that still care about the show, particularly since the DVD sets continue to fly off the shelves (the fifth season is in the top ten and is only in pre-order right now). Keep in mind, though, that SciFi-Wire is connected to the SciFi Channel and Universal, which is connected to competing network NBC. Still, isn’t SciFi channel airing LOST at 4:00 right now? Why yes, I believe they are. But, who cares.

It is an interesting choice for a title, but before blaming the story’s author, remember that article titles are not necessarily the prerogative of the writer. I believe newspaper headlines are usually chosen by an editor, although online media may be different. (But I’m not in the industry, so to borrow a line from Dennis Miller, I could be wrong.)
As for the article itself, I only skimmed it, but it seemed like a decent article. The ‘Still care about Lost’ headline doesn’t really seem to match the subject matter.
However, I’m impressed by the number of interviews that Michael Emerson does. I think half of the cast interviews are interviews with him
Of course!!! I wonder if the “Do you still care…” is more of a call out to the extended hiatus the show takes. But, after finding out yesterday that they show is adding an hour to Season 6, and the rejoicing done, I know a lot of us still care deeply
It seems to me a ploy to get hits. You know, hack off some Lost fans who just have to click on that link to see what this article is all about. The article is rather tame. It’s the headline that grabs people, and the hits. It’s no different than bloggers who sneak the word Twilight into a post title to generate hits from 12 year old girls even though their blogs have nothing to do with sparkly vampires.
Its a great show and will go down in history as one of the great shows, but I can’t help but think how much greater it could have been if things were different – shorter lapses between seasons, full seasons – 23+ eps, etc.
The “Still Care About Lost?” is an actual question as opposed to “Still Care about Heroes?” Which NBC already know the answer to, but they don’t care either.
