"Kill a character every week"? Erm, no one's died yet except the bounty hunter (who was basically meat after the plane crashed anyway) and the anonymous drowned lady (who just went for a swim and got caught in a rip). There's a billion things that can happen between now and the end of the season besides people dying. Yeah, there's a reason Lee Goldberg is writing hackneyed crap for "Diagnosis: Murder." Obviously, the nuances of long-term character development and a full-season arc are beyond his capabilities.
What's really sad is that "Lost" is sort of operating on the same paradigm as "Angel" was--a character-driven, full season arc-y show with a fantastic premise. And it makes me wonder what would have happened if "Angel" had gotten a shot (with a lot of support and advertising) on one of the major networks instead of the WB, which is known for dreck.
