Template:WikiProject Lost

A fact from LA X appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 31 January 2010 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know
- ... that Barack Obama's most recent State of the Union address was almost scheduled to preempt the broadcast of "LA X", the final season premiere of the television show Lost?
A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2010/January.

Scheduling

Don't you think that some of the information should be edited? The article is too long and I don't find the Scheduling part that important.. There's even a photo of Obama ?! Bai brother (talk) 09:58, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't the coverage in multiple reliable sources indicate that the scheduling part is notable? The leftorium 15:25, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It probably could be condensed a little bit, but there is not that much to write about with regard to plot and production as the episode has not aired yet and security is tighter than ever on Lost, so that section certainly seems bloated right now. Hopefully, it will eventually look something like "Meet Kevin Johnson", which has a bunch of scheduling information, but is balanced by other aspects and of course, the numerous citations. But this is the second time a contributor has rejected the Obama image, so I have removed it, as the only reason that I added it was to increase the article's chances at a DYK hook, but it was opposed there too. –thedemonhog talk • edits 01:26, 26 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Part 1 and part 2

Shouldn't the plot be separated into two parts as it is a two part episode? The earlier edit seemed to provide more relative information. -tehpearbear

Summary of Plot question

"The Man in Black then explains to Ben that his true goal is to leave the island and return home." I don't recall him saying (or implying) that he wants to leave the island, just that he wants to return home. What I gathered from the episode is that his home is the temple. I think the "leave the island" part should be removed. But then again, I may have misunderstood what was said.
