Of course, I always try to clarify that comment by saying, "well... at least the best show that I've ever seen, and I haven't seen a lot." My wife and I both have a short list of shows we want to check out ASAP. Of course the one's you listed and Deadwood. Maybe once I've seen those I'll have a different oppinion of LOST. |

I'm not gonna lie. Guys like Reaper and irishjayhawk are definitely smarter than me, and they focus on shit I wouldn't even think about. Sometimes when I read your posts I think you are being uppity or whatever, but you just are in a different frame of mind.
I take it as pure entertainment level, as opposed to looking at the bigger meanings of things. |

So since you're helping me expand my TV viewing, perhaps you can help expand my literary knowledge as well. Is there a series you have in mind that you (and literary critics) would regard highly and that you think has a more successful structure than LOST? I mean, one that does what you're saying and is self contained and a part of a larger whole? |

And also Red Brooklyn.
You son of a gun. This guy right here would get on here right after the episode and point out at least 10 things I missed every time. |

Yeah, I am assessing Lost as I assess all fictionalized TV shows - as art and as art in the specific medium of television. Entertainment is a part of that but by no means the only part. |

Aw, shucks, Buck... you're swell. I've seriously enjoyed your contributions to the discussion. Having a more straight-forward, entertainment view of LOST is not a bad thing at all. In fact, I think it helped keep me grounded. |

Yeah, either way, I know its a great show, otherwise it wouldn't have had over 9 Million viewers for every episode.

Fallacious reasoning. I guess that Desperate Housewives is a way-better show than Lost, then, huh? Oh, man, Transformers 2 was a great movie; look at the box-office returns it made!
