Does this Lost wikipedia page sound like a marketing job? I didn't even mean to look up Lost, but somehow ended up on a the listing for the episode "Ji Yeon." The use of "off-shore storyline," and "The actors of Lost have called the "Ji Yeon" the most shocking of the first seven episodes." seems ripped from a bad PR release.[More:]Then I saw "Actor Jorge Garcia called the premiere's script "awesome"" on the inside and have to be convinced that there is either a really exuberant Lost fan who writes great copy or the ABC marketing department researched how they could incorporate advertising into Wikipedia. Look at the excessive citations and the creepy use of free photos of the actors. I would like to personally congratulate the marketing department on their ability to adapt and infuse themselves into even the most hostile media, of which a collaborative Internet web site must be one of the most hostile of all.
Nah, it's just the typical exuberant fan upcoming-episode fawning. I wouldn't worry about it. The blogs aren't great sources but they're just placeholders for real information that will come later.
