Why Newspapers Are Dying

I don't mean to beat up on a TV writer in a local paper (in this case, The Grand Rapids Press--I have spent many pleasurable days in Grand Rapids, by the way), but I think Troy Reimink has some catching up to do.

This is from his summary of the latest Lost:

"He's Our You," for example, is all about Ben and Sayid. We know Sayid ended up working as an assassin for Ben in his never-ending war on the Widmore people, but did we ever learn why?

A whole episode was devoted to this. Sayid comes home, reunites with long-lost love Nadia and marries her. Nadia is murdered and Ben uses this event to turns Sayid into a contract killer.

Another interesting point -- when the Dharma crew can't decide what to do with Sayid, Radzinsky says he'll "call Ann Arbor." What could be going on in Ann Arbor?

As the Swan orientation film explains, the whole Dharma Initiative was founded in 1970 by the DeGroots, two doctoral candidates at the University Of Michigan.
