LOL I actually remember that. And yeah, soaps can take place in the middle of an island... they're constantly doing "disaster" episodes, like hurricanes, blackouts, what-have-you.

I'm not watching Lost either. I will say that it looks like a pretty show with all the beaches and island-ness, but like you said Les, I'm a little bitter about the great suckage of Season 3 Alias and how JJ left it high and dry to get to work on Lost.

Yeah, pretty is right. Like, fanart-frenzy pretty. :lol: *sigh*

If you want to boycott a show for being soapy, shouldn't Desperate Housewives be topping your list? :lol:
Anyway, I understand there's a certain amount of jealousy of Lost having JJ's (temporary) attention, but ABC basically asked JJ to work on it, and an interview about it says he even wasn't interested at first. So, they got him a partner Damon Lindelof and together they developed what Lost has become. However, you should know that JJ again and again says in interviews that Lindelof is running "Lost" right now while he focuses on Alias. I appreciate that, but why was Alias supposed to be his first love? Technically, he left Felicity (his actual FIRST tv series) to work on it, and I think people kind of think that Felicity suffered because of it. Lost was a hugely expensive pilot to make and nobody knew whether it would be a hit or not. Pilots are hit and miss.
I watch Lost, and I think that if you watch it, you might be able to find things to dislike about it that are actually are it's fault. Though encouraging people not to watch it, is encouraging people NOT to watch Alias's best rated lead-in ever.
But JJ is developing other comedies and movies and drama series...will you boycott them all as long as Alias is in existence?

LOL
Desperate Housewives is definitely something I'm skipping indefinitely. But I don't need to boycott it, coz it isn't a JJ project that is sucking the lifeblood out of Alias. OK, so that comment is a bit extreme, but I just wanted to say "sucking the lifeblood." :lol:
DH looks disgusting. And yes, even more soap-y than Lost. So yeah. The reason I ain't watchin'
that is basically just coz it's a crappy show. :lol:
Alias isn't in its denouement, like Felicity was. Actually, Felicity was going nowhere after S1. Alias had two kick-ass seasons before it started getting iffy, and even then, the fanbase tuned in religiously, and in the end JJ was like, "let's fix this show and make it the way it used to be -- the rockingest show ever!" ^_^ OK so he didn't say those
exact words, but you know what I mean...
I just think Lost was an opportunity for JJ to work with more "up and coming"/"little known"/"hott new stars" (i.e. Ian Somerhalder, Matthew whateverhisnameis, etc. etc.). It's like, ok now that Jenn is a household name, let's move on... He did the same with Keri Russell. Obviously, that isn't it. But it
seems like it. Lost just looks so "teen show"... reminds me of Dawson's Creek, or Young Americans... it
screams WB. Which I find totally formulaic and stupid.
I'm basically just jealous of Lost's new fanbase -- made up mostly of former/current Alias fans wanting their JJ fix. I fear it may ruin Alias. -_-
