Lost: the Journey

[James Heard]

I'm wondering if Locke's faith will just allow him to shrug off bullets. That would be worth a clip episode I think.

I was sort of distressed though, because even Family Ties waited few years for a clip episode didn't it? At least it didn't revolve around the survivors sitting around the plane crash and going, "Remember the time last week when Sayid tortured Sawyer?" [cue scene].

No matter how cool the show is, I'm sure I'd be over it if they had done that.

In a show hoping for a huge May sweeps where understanding what went on before is key to appreciating what's going on now, such a "catch up" clip episode isn't surprising at all. It's not like you needed to watch a single previous episode of Family Ties to get just about as much appreciation out of a new episode as any given rabid fan.

With all the magazine covers and such the show's been getting, you can be sure that ABC is trying to bring the new audience up to speed as best they can.

Proverbial nail on the head.
