I’ve found that most sites out there are scams although there are some that are reliable. I’ve signed up on three trustworthy sites and its a steady income. You’re not really risking much so I’d advise you to try it.

Jack’s father Is he really his father and someone else’s father (like Claire, Richard, Desmond or whoever else) and does he have a twin brother with whom he was separated at birth? One-two more episodes like that and the ratings will crumble. Bring the good writers back!!!

I can’t honestly reason why ratings for Season 4 and 5 would be nearly half of Seasons 1 and 2. Sometimes, it feels like the people behind reviews of almost every entertainment medium have next to no idea what they’re talking about, it’s just a soapbox for their (undeserved) opinion.

The ratings also don’t reflect the number of individuals, like myself, that watched Season 5′s premier and every episode since then at a local movie theater or friend’s house. The theater I went to was PACKED, as was Season 4′s grand finale! That means that at least 200 people were watching on the same screen instead of at their home. I imagine lots of people now watch LOST with friends or at a local theater.

As long as their ratings don’t include the number 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, or 42, I won’t be concerned.

From: DETAILS MAGAZINE

Lost star Matthew Fox covers the January/February 2009 issue of Details. Here’s what the 42-year-old actor opened up about:

On Lost coming to an end: “Personally, it’s a relief…I owe this show a great amount, and I think it’s exceptionally good…[but] I am looking forward to the freedom that comes with not working on one project professionally.”

On the Lost series finale: “This show started with a plane crash on an island in the South Pacific, and it’s going to have a very global and epic ending.”

(I heard LOST will end in 2010… Read more in Details this month!)

Anyone writing that Lost’s ratings are failing is an idiot. Period. For one thing, they’re three years too late: it was over the course of season two in which the ratings dropped the most. And if you wanted to talk about a noticeable dip, you should’ve talked about it when Season 3′s “Not in Portland” and “Flashes Before Your Eyes” aired — when the show dropped from 15 million viewers to around 12.

Throughout season four, ratings were consistently in the 10.5-12 million range. And now, in season five, every episode aired so far has nabbed a very consistent 11 million. So why are people trying to make this a story now? It’s actually the opposite — Lost has leveled out and become consistent again. Anybody trying to fearmonger is just misinformed.

Three more things to say: (1) Even at 11 million, Lost is still consistently in the top 20 shows of the week. (2) DVR adds about 20% to each episode of Lost — so there are actually 13-14 million viewers each week, which is unheard of for a serial drama in its fifth season. (3) The show trounces competition in the 18-45 demographic, which is the only demographic advertisers care about, and thus the only demographic ABC care about. (It’s why The Office is considered a hit when it gets HALF the viewers of something like NCIS.)

What does all this add up to? Not news, that’s for sure. Point and laugh at anybody trying to spin it any other way.

Lost has turned into another soapie like “Bold and Beautiful” et al. No wonder the rating are falling. Who the heck is writing scripts for it now? It is just pathetic to see a formerly good movie die. It is banal, boring and brainless. All there is left is who is whose sister, or brother, or mother, or father. Sad.

the point is – even 11 million is quite a LOT today. Sure, LOST ranking might be weaker and Lost producers may, in turn, have less money for the show – and the show can be put into different timeslots – but there are shows with much lower ratings, still being made up.

Lost won’t be cancelled, that’s crazy.

“Sure, in most cases the numbers have to work out favorably for a show to stay on the air, but in the case of LOST, a show with a world wide brand that includes merchandise, clothing, toys, video games, and DVDs, advertising sales are only one part of the profit equation. ”

As a Star Trek fan that is a statement that TRULY annoys me. I never understood how Paramount (or CBS, as the case may be) decided one day: you know this huge franchise that sells t-shirts and dvds worldwide? yeah, let’s cancel that.

In the case of LOST, these rules do not apply. It’s a lock for season 6. This thing goes way beyond the traditional first run market. Hell, I’ve seen the show back to back at least 5 times now and still got giddy when I hear they are releasing season 1 and 2 as BluRay this year.

Season 6 is a given. Unless someone get’s hit by a bus, of course.

A while back in an interview Matthew Fox pointed out that about 12 million people watched the pilot, and about 12 million people watch each episode. That’s the loyal base, and that’s who the cast and crew are trying to please. If more people want to watch, Fox said, that’s great. If not, then eff them. I couldn’t agree more.

Losing a writer is more significant and important than losing ratings, in my opinion. Ratings are attached to profit in ways mentioned above while writers are quality control and losing them loses everyone.
