For the most part, Lost fans are resilient.  They…or rather, we…have taken a lot over the last 4 plus years.  We’ve gone along with the polar bears, black smoke, walking dead, and now even time travel.  But we’re starting to get a bit ancy and we’re ready for some answers.  Could that be what’s causing the issues with Lost ratings recently?

According to TV By the Numbers, Lost posted a new series low and dipped below 9 million viewers for the first time all year.  The Addicted to Lost community on Facebook has also had some challenges this TV season.  After ramping up to almost 140,000 monthly active users for the season 5 premiere, the community has been slowly losing users everyday and has settled in around 80,000 monthly actives.

That’s not quite what we had in mind considering Season 5 was highly anticipated since it seemed that we were finally starting to get some answers. We still have almost 600,000 Lost fans in the community and add around 500 every day.  But something is definitely keeping Lost viewers from watching new episodes and Lost fans from coming back to the community.

So maybe the lack of answers is finally getting to people.  Thank goodness for Televisionary which provides a fantastic Lost recap each week to help makes sense of everything.  It’s highly recommended if you’re a fan.
