Why?  It seems true enough to me...along with the others he mentions.  I'm
sure Isaac wouldn't be happy being in the same paragraph though. ;-)

This bit seemed odd though:

"Jeffrey Lieber, J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof have created "Lost," the
finest television science fiction series of all time … so far."

After hearing the comments here recently I told Tivo to catch this show
too.  So far I've only seen last week's show (_The Journey_).  I really
hope that one isn't representative of the series!  I kept waiting for the
flashbacks to end and the show to get going...only that never happened.
The entire show was nothing more than a recap...apparently.  Is it *always*
like that?  Sort of a "Readers' Digest Condensed Version" rather than a
full show?  Highly irritating, though certainly experimental if it is.
I'll give it another episode and see...I hope that one was just for those
of us coming in late.  If not, I'll leave it to the short attention span
folks and watch other things.
