Re: OT: Anyone here watch \'Lost\'?
I watch Lost. I look forward to new episodes as much as I looked forward to Firefly episodes. Which, is (was) a lot!
I think the writers have done a great job fleshing out the characters so we can get a good glimpse of thier character and what drives (drove) them. Story line? Not sure where it's going but have heard (read) some say they all died and are between earth and their final destination (be it heaven or hell). That this is just a sort of limbo. (shrug...who knows...maybe the writers don't know yet, LOL)
As to "minority tokens", they are what I refer to as complying with the success formula. The reason why Bruce Willis gets paired with Samuel L. Jackson...to pull in a diversified audience. To generalize, it pre-supposes that whites won't go see a "black" movie and blacks won't go see a "white" movie, so they mix and match to get everyone to come. (grin).
So, in Lost, we have more than the Korean couple filling that niche (so to speak). We even have "overweight" representation (LOL).
And, I just love the way Kate looks! (sorry)
