"Lost" Reruns

Over on blogcritics.org, some commenters posted that they are tired of reruns of "Lost." I am, too, but really, it's not that bad. In general, there was one new episode, then two of the previous episodes. That helps hook new viewers, and helps other viewers catch what they might have missed. Every episode holds details that sometimes show up in later episodes. For instance, the key that Jack has been wearing around his neck goes missing in a later episode. The key locks the attaché case that contains the guns the marshal brought with him.

I missed a lot of the Walt & Michael episode when it was first run because a friend of mine called to talk, but I got to see it in its entirety last night. ABC is baiting us, though, because it keeps showing clips from upcoming episodes, but then showing reruns. Sigh. Next week, it's another rerun in which Claire comes back to the camp after being kidnapped.

Stay tuned, loyal viewers. May sweeps are coming.
