David Kronke: "Lost" in space

So Paramount must be pretty pleased with J.J. Abrams’ new “Mission: Impossible� movie, as the studio’s now handing him the keys to the “Star Trek� franchise. It makes sense for Abrams to take the helm: While “Trek’s� rabid cult following caught its creators by surprise, in his shows “Alias� and “Lost� Abrams accepted nerdling fans as a foregone conclusion and filled each episode with all sorts of arcane details for them to obsessively fret over.

But you know what this means, don’t you? With Abrams’ and his brain trust’s minds elsewhere, “Lost� will really go off the rails next season.
