I was laid up with a touch of virus for the last few days, so I pulled out my season one LOST DVDs and watched a few eps. There is something they had in that first season that is missing now -- the sense of the spiritual.
When the viewpoint shifted last season and this to the "Others" and the Dharma Experiment and all that is psychology and time travel, they let up on the faith angle, so well parlayed by Eko and Locke. The show in season also always ended on an up note with musical interludes and people shown helping each other, now they seem to end course and usually with drama, or frustration, like Desmond's inability to break out of the loop and ask Penny to marry him.
While I realize that this will return eventually, it's been sorely missing since the return this month.
I wonder if that's the reason why ratings have slipped.
What do you think?
