Geez, David. You really need to write for this show. Fortunately, their writing has vastly improved over the last two episodes. Have you had any part in that?

It's funny that you say that.
Last year I posted on the ABC LOST message board a scenario that the cast would see a plane over the island and get all excited and think they were going to be rescued. Then a parachute would open from a large box dropped by the plane. The group is still excited thinking it is rescue supplies, food, maybe a raft. They all run into the jungle to get the box. The episode ends with them staring at the crate where printed on it it says : "Food for the next 90 days". Then the next shot is a close up of the planes tail logo: DHARMA
I almost fell off my chair when a few weeks later they find a parachute pallet drop of food supplies from Dharma in the jungle one night.
So maybe the producers read the Message boards after all?

Wouldn't surprise me at all. And unless you don't mind not being compensated and/or credited, I guess I'd stop posting my episode ideas on their website.
:)
So what did you think of the last two episodes? I thought they were both brilliant - especially the last one. Which really surprised me because when it was clear it was gonna be about the newbies, I figured I was about to be underwhelmed.

Wouldn't surprise me, either. Seems like it would be a good way to monitor their core fan base.
By way of comparison, I've been told that J.K. Rowling reads the Harry Potter fan boards

True. I don't post there anymore, but only because it is over run with kids making silly non-LOST related posts.
Those last two episodes blew me away! I too thought a story line around two newbies was going to be a snore, but the ending sure was a surprize! Very Twilight zone - Outerlimits like!
