Re: WTH is Blood & Chrome?
Well, then, I have been corrected there.

It feels exactly the opposite of that, though. From the start people freaked out about the show's total "disrespect" (in the sense of not explaining anything to the audience) as something super-cool (which is, I agree, quite cool), but then started to ask a multitude of questions and deep "senses" about it, which to me were immaterial. It seemed to me that it made much more sense that JJ Abrams and these new generations of writers were much, much more interested in putting the audiences in a rollercoaster of doubts, confusion, utterly lost in an anarchic place of meaninglessness, while giving them enough hooks, enough juice, just to keep the audience interested in order to **** them up with more insane mind rapes.

To me "Lost" was about that, a kind of a concept-of-proof series, that perhaps eventually turned itself into a meaningful crap (people and their demand of closure!). JJ Abrams made that kind of thing. Fringe, the undeserved heir of X Files, had also this kind of meaninglessness in some of their story arcs. Star Trek, for another example, was also only about the rollercoaster experience, not about the "meaning" or "sense" of it.

What I wanted to say is that in Lost people thought they were buying into a very interesting onion puzzle, when they were being actually given a rollercoaster. In V, there weren't even peels to the things. It was all blandly exposed. ****ing depressingly boring. The more so when you think what it *could* have been.

I agree that V is ****ty and that JJ Abrams really does have that rollercoaster habit. Lost did sort of turn out to be an onion, it's just that the middle was made of poop.

JJ Abrams only wrote the pilot of lost and had nothing to do with it after the first season as he want on to pursue other interests (Fringe)

Yes this is not news, Lindelof and Cuse handled the rest of the show (often very well).

Oh, look, another "look at me I'm going to tell you I'm drunk and misspell every single word" post. We so never had any of those before..
Funny thing is, if you were really drunk your post would probably be easier to read. This one just screams of trying too hard to look like you're drunk.

Won't deny any of that. Apologies.

It looks like a bad version of space above & beyond.

The effects are well done. But the series sure will be way too expensive to last more than one season.

Nonsense. It's exactly like Stargate SG-1, without the Stargate or SG-1.
