“Lost” is no longer the best new show on television; it’s now the best show on television. How long can they keep it up?
The Maury Povich connection to “You All Everybody” notwithstanding, TV Guide’s current “Secrets of Lost” cover-story doesn’t reveal much I hadn’t already heard, but it does betray some of the flashback batting order:
Tonight (“White Rabbit”): Jack
Oct. 27 (“House of the Rising Sun”): Sun & Jin (~!~!~!~!)
Nov. 3 (“The Moth”): Charlie & Driveshaft
That leaves two more November sweeps episodes before the show goes into post-Thanksgiving repeats. Will they deal with
Shannon & Boone,
* Michael & Walt,
* Sayid,
* Sawyer,
* Pregnant Claire, or
* Hurley?
The Dec. 15 installment, “Raised by Another,” has got to deal with Michael and Walt, right?
“Solitary” (Nov. 17) sounds like it could be about Sayid or Sawyer.
The Nov. 10 episode is called “Confidence Man,” so it’ll be real interesting to learn if that title refers to Sayid, Sawyer, Hurley or the guy who knocked up Claire.
