I'm sorry, Charles, but everything you said about people irrationally bashing Lost at The Fuselage could be said about people irrationally praising Lost at The Tail Section, for example. Every forum will have its quota of, uh, overly passionate users, but that does not automatically dismiss said forum as a reliable source of fan opinion. In my experience, The Fuselage's users are demanding, no doubt about that, but most of them are also very intelligent, well-informed and reasonable people. And, if you ask me, the only reasonable response to a situation in which you have been BLATANTLY LIED TO by a network's promo is to be angry about it.

I understand fan''''''''s frustration. I too feel that ABC and the Lost producers constantly raise fan''''''''s expectations about the show to unobtainable levels.

However, The Fuselage is not that credible of a source when it comes to fan feedback. The people who post at The Fuselage are among the most negative and bitter people I have ever seen in ANY fan forum. These are the most hardcore "fans", the certifiably obsessed. Look at the posting history of those people. These are the fans who literally post on that board every hour of every day. How can a socially functioning person do that? These people seem to devote their entire lives to this show and they complain constantly about it. They are never happy and never will be happy.

I know its cliché (and kind of mean) to say that someone needs a life. But unfortunately, this truly applies to the posters at The Fuselage. I wouldn''''''''t take their constant griping seriously.

Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the two producers, said in their latest podcast that the advertising people at ABC made a mistake about the promo in question, as they themselves could not think of three questions answered in the episode.
