:There's different scales here. We can have detailed episodes and characters, such as with The X-Files and Babylon 5. Some, like The Sopranos focus more on the characters. Still others, from new (Desperate Housewives) to old (Law & Order), do neither on separate pages, and still others (Homicide: Life on the Street) barely do anything. Then, of course, there's the really in-depth ones like The Simpsons or Star Trek. Depends on what we think  Lost really needs. My feelings are that, if Lost runs 8 years like they want, each of the characters will one day be split off to its own page, but, at the moment, I see Characters of Lost as equivalent to a linear retelling of the character's flashback story, which has its own value and is not provided vby the episode list, while the episode list is a description of the events of the episode, including flashbacks in situ. That is, the character page is a linear retelling of flashbacks, while the episode page is a linear retelling of the island arcs. Redundant? Perhaps, but there's a reason why I left the "post-crash" info in my descriptions of main characters very general, and it was specifically to avoid wholesale redundancy between the two.
