On the commercial breaks during tonight’s episode of Lost<\/i>, "Every Man
\nfor Himself," I was thinking that the show is on the brink of its capacity for
\nmeaningful ties between characters, and the small container that is prime time’s
\n43 minutes per week isn’t quite enough to do justice to the complexity
\nAbrams and crew have concocted. This, of course, is compounded by Lost<\/i>‘s
\nsignature single<\/acronym>-character
\nback-stories as well as the new layers of character information, from the
\noriginals, to the Tailies, to the Others. The back-stories alone, although
\nthey do introduce coincidence and depth, whittle each episode’s real-time action
\nto less than 30 minutes. What does all of this add up to? I’m beginning to feel
\nless patient with the appearance of fill-ins. I mean, who was the fella whacking
\ncoconuts into the sea with the golf clubs? I find myself impatient with non-load-bearing characters for the spare seconds they sponge from
\nthose who’ve been there–and been developing–all along.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So while some folks are attracted to the complexity and find complex
\nprogramming to be far more stimulating, it comes at a price, especially when
\nforced into the tightly constrained mold of 43 minutes for a solitary prime time
\nepisode. Just like the feeling I get when my Bloglines account tips above
\n120 feeds, I suppose it’s not preposterous to consider the applicability of
\nthresholds: a kind of Dunbar number for the cast. Too big? Too unstable!
\nReally, the trouble is that when a character is simply abandoned rather than
\novertly killed off, we can’t be sure when to relieve the wondering. Maybe that’s
\nit: I could use some relief from the wondering.<\/p>\n

I’ll continue watching. I’m as hooked\/attached\/invested as ever.
\nBut unlike any other show I can think of (not that I’m the sort of TV buff who
\ncan list examples much beyond Gilligan’s Island<\/i> and The A-Team<\/i> for
\ncomparison), Lost<\/i> is testing the limits of cast complexity, and it
\ndemands a patience unlike any other show I can think of. Okay, tha’sit.
\nTime to lay off. My heart rate is approaching 140.<\/p>\n

Quickly, just two more things about tonight’s episode (I’m tempted to check
\nthe forums, but must avoid the time-trap):<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Was the beach Sawyer looked toward from "prison" island the same beach
    \n where the plane crashed? The beach where the smoke signal was lit in
    \n Season I? Was this off-shore island not visible from the beach?<\/li>\n
  • And what is Hugo doing chunking up a fruit salad (with such fine
    \n presentation!)? Why isn’t he more distressed? The base camp seems
    \n too calm to be believed, given the uncertainty about Sayid, Sun, Jin, Jack,
    \n Sawyer, and Kate. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
