		<description>i would just like to respond to dan x&#039;s comments. i&#039;m not sure which scenes or scenarios you have in mind but i disagree that there are NO racial stereotypes in LOST. i am going to venture to say that dan x is not a minority and if i am wrong, i apologize. but it&#039;s very hard for whites to SEE stereotypes because they are rarely the victims of them in ways that are deep, meaningful, and hurtful. i&#039;m sure whites have felt stereotyped but probably not in ways that connects to their everyday life situation, history, and personal circumstances. in LOST, a show that i happen to love by the way, i do feel that there are scenarios and scenes that rely on stereotypes. as a black person, it is easier for me to &quot;see&quot; because i have been the victim of such stereotypes and am much more sensitive to them. just as, i imagine, if there are stereotypes of asians or hispanics, i might see them as quickly. anyway, i think portraying eko as a big, menacing brute &quot;other&quot; was a stereotype. why did....

		<description>I would like to make a couple of points:
First, the four main characters (Jack, Kate, Sawyer and Locke) are all white, Americans. These four get more screen time than most of the other characters combined, and their storylines are considered central to the overall story line.
Second, although Sayid, Jin, Sun, Hurley are fairly important, Rose is rarely shown and CANNOT be cited as a main black character to fill Michaels shoes.

		<description>First of all, Eko won&#039;t be back. The character would have stayed on, but the actor wanted out.
Secondly, black people playing the race card is very tired. In situations where there is actual racism it&#039;s fair enough, but bringing up race in an issue like this does nothing but dilute the impact of real racism.
Thirdly, Michael was clearly going to die. That was the whole point of the island refusing to let him kill himself, and why Christian Shephard appeared as the bomb was about to go off to tell Michael he could &quot;go now&quot;.
If you sit there tallying up how many different races are on Lost and which ones are alive/dead/stereotypes/good/bad, then you are the racist. It probably never occurred to the show&#039;s writers that they&#039;d killed off &quot;minorities&quot; because they see the actors as friends, colleagues, and professionals - not a collection of colours. Grow up one and all, it&#039;s just a TV show, not a 1920s cotton plantation.

		<description>The writers are racist and sexist (as some are claiming)? Oookay...
I guess they hate white guys, too, since many of them have also &quot;died&quot; on the show. The deaths on Lost haven&#039;t been minority- and female-exclusive.
Ummm, why does anyone assume anything about the characters in Lost? The beauty of the show is the element of mystery and surprise, that viewers&#039; assumptions can often be wrong, that viewers shouldn&#039;t jump to conclusions. Christian (a dead guy who keeps reappearing) told Michael he could go, but go where? We didn&#039;t actually see Michael getting blown to bits. Nor Jin, for that matter. And who was Hurley&#039;s chess opponent in the finale? Mr. Eko (or that&#039;s what he said, at least). A bit of foreshadowing there?
Don&#039;t count any character out on Lost (Claire, anyone?). However, if the writers are indeed pandering to certain fans&#039; wishes, my wish as a fan and advocate of Lost is that they wouldn&#039;t. I like to analyze the clues and whatnot, but I&#039;m mainly just along for the ride.
