[edit] "Directed By"
Shouldn't this be altered/removed from the infobox. It really doesn't suit a television show. Listing Bender as lead director, or Cuse/Lindelof as show runners would be more appropriate in my opinion. Just a suggestion though..211.30.92.237 (talk) 10:25, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Shouldn't it be Lost (2004 TV series)
Since the 2001 TV show called Lost came first shouldn't that be "Lost (TV series)". And this show came second so it be "Lost (2004 TV series)" right? But right now its the complete opposite...Coasttocoast (talk) 18:16, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
- This is the more popular and well-known series. It could not be assigned to a single year anyway. I think the naming convention is fine. Ursasapien (talk) 08:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
The year is for when the show premiered. I'm just saying shouldn't this article have "(2004 TV series)" since there was already another TV called "Lost"? For example the article for the 2006 film Casino Royale is called "Casino Royale (2006 film)" because there was already another film called Casino Royale in 1967. -- Coasttocoast (talk) 23:11, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Naming convention is fine. When people come to Wikipedia looking for LOST, they are looking for the ABC series. Typical Wiki policy is to have the more popular version be the one linked to, and the less known version can be reached via disambiguation. Tool2Die4 (talk) 13:28, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] LOST or Lost
The title card of the show is clearly all in upper case. Why then, is the article called "Lost" and not "LOST".gergis (talk) 08:12, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
- Plenty of titles are sometimes presented in uppercase for stylistic purposes. –thedemonhog talk • edits 17:27, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Eye Closeups?
I've noticed a section in the article that I cannot edit...
'Episodes have a distinct structure: following a recap of events relevant to the upcoming narrative, each show begins with a cold open. Often a close up of a character's eye will follow. At a dramatic juncture, the screen cuts to black and the title graphic, slightly out-of-focus, glides towards the viewer accompanied by an ominous, discordant sound. '
I've just finished watching the entire first season, and I've been specifically watching for this. I have yet to see one. Perhaps soemone who's registered can edit this out?

- Sorry, but it is beyond comprehension that you missed them. (Off the top of my head,) Eye closeups begin episodes 1, 4, 5, 6, 10, 13, 14, 16, 17 and 24 of the first season. –thedemonhog talk • edits 00:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- You're wrong. Eye close ups features predominantly. Particularly in the first season. Rehevkor (talk) 04:24, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Not Editable?
Why is the page not editable? At least not for anonymous users? (I do have an account, but I happen not be logged in right now and noticed that I can't edit the page.) 212.64.47.49 (talk) 11:14, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Protection policy#Semi-protection. –thedemonhog talk • edits 17:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

- Isn't there supposed to be an indication of that on the page? Currently there is no indication on the page or the talk page that it is semi-protected, never mind why and for how long...212.64.47.49 (talk) 10:48, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
