***WARNING: SPOILERS FOR NOV 1ST EP. LIE AHEAD***
Lost is known for killing characters that you might not expect to die. I understand this, and have always taken it in stride. Why? Because every death has seemed to be for a reason. They served the story. Other shows kill characters off during sweeps just for the ratings effect, but not Lost.
Not until tonight....
If there was a good reason why Eko died, I'd like to know what it is. If there was a reason other than a ratings grab in the middle of Fall Sweeps, I'd like to know.

So, I've been seeing a few comments here and there on the web about Heroes and how it's moving too slowly, or some episodes are boring. I remember hearing the same about Lost when it came out.
True, when I was a kid, I wanted instant satisfaction. When I watched the 80s remake of King Kong, I kept looking over to my dad and asking him "When are we going to see King Kong, dad??" I wanted him to appear immediately. But, as I said, I was a kid.
But I'm not a kid any longer. And neither are the people griping about the slow pace of Heroes.

Heroes, as almost everyone I've spoken to agrees, is a phenomenal show.
For me, though, it's more than that. As a die-hard comic book fan since the age of two, it's a dream come true.
Everything I loved about comics growing up is encapsulated in Heroes. The heroes, the villains, the powers, everything.
It's a pitch-perfect comic tale, yet is also fresh and original.
What boggles my mind is that Tim Kring*, the show-runner, has never read a comic book. Seriously.

If there's one thing that bothers me about Lost (and surprisingly, there is only one thing), it is the constant statements, insinuations and hints dropped by the Others to prove that they are the "Good Guys."
My hope of hopes is that the writers of Lost are accurately portraying a group of people who believe they are doing the right thing, when in reality they are doing nothing of the kind.
My fear, though, is that the writers are setting things up to prove to us that the Others are, in fact, good. My fear is that they will reveal an agenda that, in their eyes,...

I had high hopes for Studio 60. Great writing credentials in Aaron Sorkin, great actors, great premise.
So what went wrong?
Though the first episode was pretty good, each successive episode has been increasingly worse.
It began with the focus on the character of Harriett, who is ostensibly the "funniest woman on television," yet is played by an actress who is so out of place on a sketch comedy show that it boggles the mind. It's apparent that she can do a Juliette Lewis and Holly Hunter impression, but so what? Can you see a skit involving either of...
