I am that girl Don't believe me? Click here. I was the one that actually had enough nerve to ask the question that everyone wanted to ask but didn't have enough guts to ask. For Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse to walk out on that stage and be naive enough to think they're going to get their ass kissed by everyone on the mic would be ridiculous. With what they produced this season, they shouldn't have expected it either. I think the problem wasn't the writers "resting" or anything. I think the problem is the absence of J.J. Abrams to rein things in and no clear direction to the show, which is unfortunate because the show really had a bright future. And believe me, if next season is just as bad, I'll be right back up on the mic at Comic Con '07. ]]>

Ty: I actually can't bring myself to watch Battlestar Galactica for more than a few minutes at a time. Not because it isn't good -- it's VERY good. It's just that the first time I started watching it I noticed that about two-thirds of the way through the duration of every shot, there is a dramatic, sudden zoom in. And this passes for directing. It's not a bad thing, it's just so distracting that it makes it hard for me to watch the show. Next time it's on, pay attention to it. You'll see what I mean. And while it may be true that sci-fi gets no Emmy love, my point was that had the show maintained it's first-season quality (drastic change to Emmy nomination procedure notwithstanding), the addition of the sci-fi stuff wouldn't have been a problem. But then, that wasn't my main point either, regarding the Emmys. I think that the low number of nominations from the show which had just won the Best Drama award probably came as a wake-up call of sorts that the writers can't rest on their laurels. Not to say that they were. But now that they didn't get it, they probably want it even more. ]]>

The best show on television, HANDS DOWN, is the new Battlestar Galactica (and I love Lost though), but I agree, shows with sci-fi elements get no emmy love. ]]>

Thanks for the comment! And I know what you mean about the references. Fortunately I've managed to get most of my friends just as hooked as I am. ... well, maybe not just as hooked. I don't see any of them writing 1700-word articles about the show during the hiatus. But still. ;) ]]>

Excellent Sum Up right there, good stuff. Although I am a crazy hard core Lost fan, often annoying friends with rather out of context references, I do agree that, although mid season 2 was still excellent Television, as compared to Lost in general, it wasn't that great. More adventure sounds great, and now, well, i can't wait. ]]>
