[edit] Plural?

When the page was back in thedemonhog's sandbox, I made a change, including "rv if you disagree" - I'm open to discussion. This change was indeed indirectly reverted and I now see the whole article consistently refers to the title as a plural, eg. "Missing Pieces are..." etc. While I know each episode/mobisode/whatever is intended to be a "missing piece" (hence the title!) I do believe that "Lost: Missing Pieces" is the title, and every episode should be formally referred to as a "Missing Pieces episode". Any thoughts, or other sources referring to the episodes in either way? Thanks. •97198 talk 23:49, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

The official "About Lost: Missing Pieces" page at ABC.com begins with "Lost: Missing Pieces are 13 two- to three-minute stories…" –thedemonhog talk • edits 23:57, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, we can both see how hard I looked! :) Thanks for that, case closed. •97198 talk 00:12, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

3A passed. Will ^(talk) 17:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

1. B. Focused:

   Does Frogurt really warrant his own section? It could be folded into the "cast and characters section.

The Frogurt section has been merged into the characters section. –thedemonhog talk • edits 17:10, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

3B passed. Will ^(talk) 17:49, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

   A. Images are copyright tagged, and non-free images have fair use rationales:

   The "Buried Secrets" section could go down into the plot, but I've no objections to its current place.

4. Overall:

   Pass or Fail:

[edit] 13th ep not on official site.

I can't find "So It begins" on ABC.com. Are you sure it's been released? Imagine Reason (talk) 04:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

So far, it has only been officially released on cell phones. It will be on ABC.com on Monday, but it has been leaked to http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2008/01/lost-mobisode-13-so-it-begins.html. –thedemonhog talk • edits 04:28, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. And this may be off topic, but I shouldn't expect any more episodes until the next off-season, right? Imagine Reason (talk) 19:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Well, I wouldn't even expect them then. –thedemonhog talk • edits 01:21, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
