LOST is back tonight! And what better way to prepare than an interactive timeline from the excellent NYT graphics team? A good infographic should communicate otherwise-complex ideas in a simple and intuitive manner… oh, never mind, LOST is back and that’s really what matters. Check out the timeline here!

ABC shows are coming to Hulu! Cleverly, NBC/News Corp-owned Hulu has always listed ABC shows, but the links directed to ABC’s hosted player. Will you watch LOST at Hulu? (Obviously. Multiple times. ) Can CBS’s tv.com stand up to the challenge? (Hulu is more of a video aggregator; tv.com is more of a television resource that happens to show video.) And how long do you think it will take ABC parent Disney to load Hulu full of Hannah Montana? (Over/under one week.)

Excellent quote from (my favorite and yours) Douglas Adams’ The Hitchiker’s Guide to the Galaxy:
Anything that happens, happens. Anthing that, in happening, causes something else to happen, causes something else to happen. Anything that, in happening, causes itself to happen again, happens again. It doesn’t necessarily do it in chronological order, though.
What does that remind you of, LOST fans?

The NYT has an interesting roundtable up on whether network television has a future.
One interesting comment was on the power of characters vs gimmicks:
Some worry that the big network shows aren’t developing great characters that will last. I’m not so sure about that. “Lost,” when you get right down to it, is a character study. We put up with the monsters and time jumping because we want to know what happens to the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815.
Lost has some of the best characters on TV and certainly they are its focus. Seasons 1-3 were premised almost entirely in gradually revealing each character’s story, details which made the 4th and 5th seasons even more captivating as the character arcs continued to intersect and develop.
But who are we kidding, I want to learn all about the monster too…
