Hey Javi

Great, great show yesterday - kudos to you and Carlton Kuse !

I absolutely adore Lost, and loved yesterday's show, but I'm concerned (and more than a little disappointed) about the seeming lack of concern for Claire shown (not shown) by the islanders. It's not that I expect her story to be resolved right away (I'm glad it's not), or that everyone should be shown mourning every day, but I would expect that people would at least care about her. Instead, in last week's show, Jack ditched his efforts to find her in order to chase after Kate and her case, Sayid called her "the pregnant girl" (couldn't he get her name right?) and no one else mentioned that they cared that Claire might be dead or injured. Same thing on last night's eppy.

It just seems like no one cares about Claire except the audience (she's extremely popular, even though she's not on that much), which is upsetting. Is there any particular reason why the stories are being written to ignore Claire and her plight? Dramatically speaking, I would think that if the castaways don't care about her now, they wouldn't much care about her if/when she returns.

I hope I haven't offended you; I absolutely love Lost as I said, but I do have the above concerns about Claire.

Thanks again for taking the time to read this, and for a great show last night.....and always!

no offense taken! trust me, we care, they care, and it will be resolved! it's just that other stories are taking place at the same time, and people, even characters in tv shows, sometimes respond to moments of crisis in ways different from what we may prefer or imagine ourselves doing... but we have neither forgotten nor forsaken claire, i assure you!

Thanks, Javi! I do love the other characters too, so I am still enjoying learning about them

We wouldn't care so much if you guys (and gals) hadn't been doing such a great job of making us invest in these characters.......

I appreciate your taking the time to answer!
Have a great day!
