And here’s why: we share the same opinions on Lost.
I hadn’t checked my mail for a while and when I opened my mailbox today, I got my Entertainment Weekly with Fox, Elizabeth Mitchell, and Michael Emerson on the cover.
I immediately opened it to the big cover story titled “Lost and Found.”
You can read the whole thing here: “Lost and Found”
But my favorite part?
Nobody is more proud — and more defensive — about Lost than Fox. The fall from amazing grace? That’s just the headline-hungry media tearing down what the cast and crew built up. The ratings decline? Those were simply hype-intrigued looky-loos who’ve decided Lost isn’t for them and gravitated toward less complicated fare. ”Good riddance,” says Fox. Besides, as the actor rightly points out, the show still ranks No. 5 ”in the category that makes this world go around” — the 18-to-49 demographic. And what of the devotees who yearn for those innocent invisible-peanut-butter-flavored beach days? ”The people who rag on it that way aren’t strong enough fans, really,” he says. ”Those people are copping out.”
So…Lost hasn’t lost it? ”No.”
Amen, Mr. Fox.
Okay. With that, I’m taking the weekend off. See y’all Monday!
