There is no word yet on whether or not ABC has future plans to put the game on a 13-week hiatus from the iTunes Store in order to kill off half of the game’s potential customers.
Maybe I could get extra ‘stuff’ in the game if I buy Lost episodes from iTunes. Finding ways to connect the show with the game through iTunes could be interesting.
Sounds crap.
This article has me LOST!
Will have to try this out. Looks like it might be the most complex iPod game yet, and very different from all the other ones!
LOL @ MDNs take!
I love the show, but holy crap – what a hiatus is right!!!!
Find Fruits? I didn’t think it was that kind of game.
“Help Jack search for dynamite, tend to the wounded, and avoid the black smoke.”
Sounds like a typical day in the Oval Office.
“Lost” is not a hit. It used to sort of be one, but the enthusiasm and ratings of the show have been dwindling over the last couple of seasons. It moves too slowly, way too many flashbacks, way too many scenarios opened but never fully developed, and it has been somewhat directionless. And when you chop the season up into two separate bits separated by more than two months, you have no chance to build any momentum. Basically, they took their audience for granted and now fewer and fewer people care about the show. ABC has already announced that they’re only ordering two more season’s worth of episodes, yet they plan on making them short seasons so they can drag it out over three seasons. Their ratings will continue to go down the tube – pun intended. Contrast their approach to “24”. Now that is momentum. You can get involved in that show.
That screengrab reminds me of Flashback.
Oops, That’s what these dramas do they’re supose to be very slow, its a way to milk the product when it has a short plot or story line and also to make more money. An example is Heros, it had so much nosence and pointless parts in it, even ones that repeated. By the way if anyone watched the ending of Heros, it sucked!! I have disliked Xmen… I mean Heros for a few months now, but I kept watching, such a disappointing show.
By the way if anyone watched the ending of Heros, it sucked!!
Wow, what a surprise. Has there ever been that type of show on network TV where the ending hasn’t sucked? The ending of Lost is nearly guaranteed to blow. Save yourself the frustration and quit watching now.
I did myself a favor and never took an interest in Lost in the first place. I’d ask what the hell the show is about, but if I did, I’d break the winning streak that I’m currently on.

MDW = “shown”, as in the past tense of “show”. Seems fitting somehow, lol
