I have to admit that I have become a semi-dedicated fan of the Lost tv-series. I could argue it is because it is interesting from a narrative point of view (it is a "group narrative", jumping between past and present of various main characters), but honestly it is in part also because it features quite a few good-looking youngish men, who frequently appear without a shirt on ;). // And btw, with this last comment, I admit to being sexist, and I'd probably be enraged in an unfair feminist way, if a man posted the same thing about a show featuring a lot of women in tight-fitting t-shirts. So I hereby declare, that if a man does post something similar, I will not to blame him... As it happens, the bare-chested men in Lost are just such an obvious part of this show's conscious attempt to appeal to a female audience - and there are a lot of goodlooking young women featured too, if you are wondering... //

Aside, it turns out the series have an online game sidekick (following the series in terms of revealing more sections to explore in the game, as islanders explore the island in the show, if I got it right).
Now, in addition, as a way to warm up US audiences before the next season starts, the producers have also launched a fake website for the airline compagny who owned the plane who crashes in episode 1. Apparently with hidden teasers etc - however I haven't been able to find much on it.
- But interesting that "working with the web" seems to be an intrinsic part of the series marketing, and that with the new website they are tagging along the "alternate reality gaming" wave.
