"Lost" gets picked up for a full season.

ABC Stays "Lost" and "Desperate": "The Alphabet net has given full-season orders to its two breakout rookie hits, the twisted suburban soap Desperate Housewives and the survival drama Lost. The freshman series have helped boost ABC to its first strong showing in the ratings in at least four years. "

While this is clearly a no-brainer, I would not have been surprised if things went the other way. Programming execs have been known to make a mistake or 2, from time to time.

"Lost" was good again last night. So Jack was seeing his dead father. Was he a stress-induced hallucination? The spirit manifestation of some sort of island magic, as Locke implied? I wonder what Jack "did" that his mother referred to? And speaking of mother, what did Veronica Hamel do to her top lip? Looks like another collagen implant disaster. I'm having trouble understanding what the scene with the coffin was all about - was that another part of the plane? Was that Jack's Dad's coffin? If so, why was it empty? And why did pulverizing the casket to a pile of splinters make Jack feel better and ready to take on a leadership role? Dad isn't any more dead at the end of the episode than he was at the beginning. Anyone?
