Despite the fact that Lost is all anyone can talk about this morning, the ratings for the series finale were only very good, not great. The episode had a 9.0 rating [Update: better known as 13.5 million viewers], which means 67 percent more people watched the episode than watched last season’s finale. But, as EW explains, a 9.0 is what Desperate Housewives got last year for its finale, or, Lost is not more important to Americans than the ongoing, dramatic happenings on Wisteria Lane. Weird.
