With Lost, one of the things worth talking about is the whole idea of time-shifting. In fact, it’s perfectly appropriate,

because time-shifting turns out to be one of the show’s central plot 1)gimmicks.

Characters spent last season

popping in and out of various timelines. The island itself, with all the people on it, was here one minute, gone the next.

Now think of that, if you will, as a fitting

2)metaphor for the entire series. Lost the TV series, like the island, has vanished and reappeared on its own 3)peculiar timetable. And as the time between seasons has stretched out, and its plots and characters

become more unpredictable and complicated, viewers have begun to vanish, too.

Last season’s 4)cliffhanger-season-episode of Lost the one where the islanders successfully set off a nuclear device that was supposed to 5)detonate a time shift and return them to a safe place before the plane crash 6)stranded them there was seen by an estimated ten million people. By today’s broadcast-TV standards, that’s a lot, but it’s only about half of what Lost was pulling at its peak. Where, to use another Lost 7)parallel, did the Others go?

Some got bored or confused by so many questions and so few answers. And some, while still loyal fans, have decided to wait until each season came out on DVD, to enjoy them at their own pace and without commercials.

说到《迷失》,其中一个最值得一谈的要素就是时间跳跃这个主意。实际上,这也是合适的切入点,因为时间跳跃正是这部作品的主要噱头之一。在上一季中,剧中人物穿行于各条时间轴。这座小岛本身(以及岛上所有人)总是一会儿在这里,一眨眼又消失了。

你完全可以将此视为对整部作品的恰当比喻。就像这座小岛一样,电视剧

《迷失》总是依照其特定的时间表消失和出现。随着每一季的间隔越拉越长,剧中情节和人物越来越难以捉摸、纷繁复杂,观众也在逐渐流失。

《迷失》上一季的悬疑完结篇讲述了岛上众人成功启动了核装置,该装置可以产生时间跳跃,在坠机把人们困在小岛之前将他们送回安全的地方――据统计,当时有一千万观众收看了这一集。按照如今的广播电视(收视率)标准,这人数还不少,但这仅仅是《迷失》收视巅峰时的一半。用另一个“迷失”近义词来说,“其他人”都去哪了呢?

电视剧中出现这么多疑问,回答却寥寥无几――有些人对此感到厌倦,有些人则被绕晕头了。还有些人依然是忠实粉丝,但他们决定等每季出DVD后再按自己的节奏慢慢看,不受广告干扰。

不管怎样,这都预示着电视台会逐渐减少制作《迷失》这样结构复杂的剧集。但《迷失》应该是美国广播公司(ABC)引以为傲的作品,理应得到观众的大力支持。用广播电视术语来说,它的大结局是一件大事。而除了下一任《美国偶像》花落谁家以外,还有多少节目值得我们关注呢?
