Lost, Alias and JJ Abrams

Just finished watching the first 14 episode of Lost and am finding it engrossing.

JJ Abrams is the master of the tease and tickle. He teases you a bit, he tickles you a bit, even whilst partially answering questions, he creates ten more in the process! He knows how to pump it slow and steady so he will never blow his load!

4 seasons of Alias and we still don't know any more about Rambaldi than we did in Season 1.

Lost really is a limited scenario which should by all accounts play itself out in 2 seasons but i can see us in season 4 still not knowing the truth behind the Polar bears!

I really love the cliffhanger endings, i hope he starts bringing them back to Alias soo too.

Are my eyes deceiving me? Did you use the word "whilst"?

Not only is O.D. an Aussie - he's insane!!!!

That's still the highest rated episode of Alias, according to votes on tvtome.com

I don't know if this link will work, but I will give it a try:

He created and wrote for Felicity the first couple of years it was on as well but he wrote Armaggedon which was one of the worst movies ever.

In all fairness, he was one of SIX credited writers, and who knows how many uncredited, so how much input he actually had on that horrid film is debatable.

Well, at least he probably contributed the best line of that movie:

"Oh, and we don't want to pay any taxes. Ever."

Sounds like JJ, anyway.

If by "fiasco" you mean "the exact kick in the pants the series needed" then I agree with you.
