Anyone catch the Stephen King homage?

Yup. The only thing missing was the table and a red tablecloth.

Rome was (is) fantastic! I can't wait for next season.

And The Comeback was funny to me (and it seems only to me). My wife hated it with a passion.

Arliss was pretty bad also.

I think Dream On was better than Sex and the City ever was. Especially in Dream On's early seasons, when they were still using the old TV clips a lot to illustrate Brian Benben's inner state.

Re: Lost 10/25/06

let us not forget the worst HBO of all time, Dream On!

Dream On wasn't exactly hitting it out of the park every time out of the box, but it was hardly the worst thing HBO has made.

i had no idea BSG was good.

i might have to catch up on that.

Re: Lost 10/25/06

I've only just started watching BSG. As a Lost fan, I would say the writing of BSG has surpassed that of Lost. Lost was great in season one. The quality has gone down sightly in my opinion. But I love both shows for different reasons.

You cannot even compare Deadwood to Lost. One is pure poetry, the other is one of those trashy romance novels you catch your wife reading. Both are enjoyable to watch, but Deadwood just tickles me in places that I cannot talk about outside of OoO.

And not all HBO shows are top notch. Rome isn't, The Comeback wasn't, Louie wasn't and let us not forget the worst HBO of all time, Dream On!

Re: Lost 10/25/06

the ending to season 2 was sublime but it's starting to get very tiresome and is being easily outwritten by BSG...

Re: Lost 10/25/06

i thought it was wonderfully tragic and ironic how sawyer kept saying "it's every man for himself" in order to save kate.

that was great.

Re: Lost 10/25/06

I don't see anything repetitive in the flashbacks this year. Yes, Jack's involved his father. But it enforced Jack's inability to let go, his stubborness -- which has gotten him in some trouble on the island. It was in this episode that Jack finally let go.

Sawyer's did feature another con. But he didn't con for himself. He conned for a daughter he may not even have. It's completely possible his ex was conning him out of the money for herself. And he surely knew this. But it was the right thing to do. We've never seen Sawyer be selfless. And on the island we saw the same interaction between him and Kate.

I think they've used the foundation of these characters to show growth and change in them.

Re: Lost 10/25/06

Well that's lame...when you guys get off the hiatus Lost season 3 will already have just started showing in Oz which means I'll have to sit through eps I've already seen...waiting until they get up to the point where I've left off because of the "hiatus"

Re: Lost 10/25/06

"Hiatus" to LOST means: that's when our cast gets out for DUI.

Re: Lost 10/25/06

when it comes back does non stop mean still every week or what?

Yes, when "Lost" returns on February 7, 2006 the season will go straight through until the end in May.

Re: Lost 10/25/06

Hijacking the thread: what is up with the hiatus and when it comes back does non stop mean still every week or what?

I get pissed off when a weekly show like Lost has a week off...how do you guys do 13?
