Would Lost be any different if it were in a later time slot?* For instance, are there things the show is limited to exploring or would it be darker or sexier or more gory if it were on at 9 or 10?* Just wondering.* There were differences in shows like Buffy and Angel in terms of darkness and I think some of it had to do with the timeslot.* Though Buffy did do some gutsy stuff (the end of Smashed :o, Willow's relationships with women).

I suspect we'd have a little more freedom at the nine o'clock hour.* A couple of upcoming eps were deemed pretty dark by the network, itr's likely they'd have less of a problem at that hour.
