Episode Titles

Is the Season 1 Format better or the Season 2 format? I'm for the season 2, but would welcome feedback. --Fezz(Ryvius) 00:50, 27 Aug 2005 (PDT)

I don't see the difference between either of them? --Wizardryo 01:38, 27 Aug 2005 (PDT)
Ah, the difference between Day 1 - 1:00AM to 2:00AM and Day 1: 1:00AM - 2:00AM. Admittedly, minor, but it exists. --Fezz(Ryvius) 21:42, 29 Aug 2005 (PDT)
The first season doesn't have "Day 1" in its episode titles. And the official formatting of future seasons is "Day 2: xx." Hopefully that makes sense. --Wizardryo 23:00, 29 Aug 2005 (PDT)

Recurring Characters

How many recurring characters do people want to list? There are kinda a lot of them, and if we list each recurring character from all 6 seasons, it would be a long list, at least 35 people. That's why I originally only listed recurring characters that appeared in more then one season, except for Marwan. Now I'm starting to regret listing Marwan, as that was a precendent-setter for the listing of other single-season recurring characters. --Stabbey 11:52, 2 January 2007 (EST)

There's an awful lot of S6 characters there for not knowing how many of them will be prominent enough, much less not knowing what character they play. Also, Tom Baker is not nearly important enough a character to be on there; it's a list of secondary cast members, not a list of recurrings. Baker just kinda hung around in the background and yeah, he was on for multiple seasons, but unless I missed something, he didn't have any dedicated storylines that qould qualify him important enough for a main page. --Wizardryo\talk 12:21, 2 January 2007 (EST)
I agree, Baker could be easily be Lost without anyone noticing, but I did a quick count in my head and there are - at a minimum - 21 minor characters - none of which are currently listed - over the first 5 seasons that were probably signifigant enough to qualify. I think listing 10 characters from Season 6 as recurring at this point is overkill. I'd even go so far as to eliminate the four recurring characters who only appeared in one season (all of them are dead, so no chance of them coming back). --Stabbey 13:19, 2 January 2007 (EST)

Recurring vs. Billed

Carlos Bernard and Penny Johnson are listed as Billed" in Season 1, but I just watched the first season DVD's, and technically, they were "special guest stars" all season, not billed, even though they were both in virtually every episode. Should they be considered billed or recurring in season 1? --Stabbey 13:28, 2 January 2007 (EST)

I'm confused here, too. I thought they would be therefore "Guest Stars" (even though they appeared in almost every episode of the season, but not every episode of the season). That seems to me the most honest way of listing it, but it's currently not listed that way. I'm trying to update Roger Cross' page, but I need to know how to proceed before I do. -- JCaesartalk 00:11, 1 February 2007 (EST)
Recurring. A character should only be listed as billed if they actually are billed cast members. They may appear in nearly every episode, but they're still guest stars. --IndieRockLance 00:44, 1 February 2007 (EST)
