I’m not one of the “discontents”, at least not yet, when it comes to “Lost”. I still love the show, and look forward to watching it each week, seeing how the plot is advanced, etc and so forth. I’m a little perplexed by some of the changes (such as the unwise addition of annoying Nikki and Paulo), but am enjoying the closer look at the Others’ camp. All that said? “Lost” nearly gave me a heart attack last night for two very different reasons.

Firstly? No one told me someone was going to die. So I was VERY surprised by the death of Eko. And not entirely happy because a) Eko is cool and I didn’t feel his story was over yet and b) doesn’t this only leave like ONE Tailie left? What about that church that Eko owed Yemi? Why the heck would Lost-zilla want to kill Eko? What’s with the whole “You’re all next” thing? Cuz if Locke, Desmond or Sayid die, I’m gonna be plenty pissed. Charlie on the other hand…

Secondly; don’t think I didn’t catch the whole promo at the end that said, “The Fall season finale”. Which, if you rely on watching this show every week, doesn’t sound very encouraging. And it’s as bad as I thought… No more “Lost” after next week until FEBRUARY 7th. :blink I was getting suspicious when those commercials for “Daybreak” said it was starting two weeks from last night and in “Lost’s” time-slot. And now? 13 weeks without “Lost”. Not. Happy.

Now if “Heroes” disappears for weeks on end, I’m gonna strangle myself with the DVR wire.
