You're kidding right? ... Lost? There is NO intelligent TV being aired these days, with the exception of a few shows, that keep my attention for 5 seasons worth. Fringe? Another decent overlooked TV show, also by JJ Abrams. Step away from the reality TV and brain dead entertainment....

I have found in recent years that some really good movies, not all blockbusters, are getting knocked or passed on for what I believe is lack of either intelligence or imagination on the part of the viewer who is "reality" locked. Ever heard of
Suspension of Disbelief? It is what you need to do for ANY movie you see especially sci-fi/fantasy.
Then there is that guy that wants to say a movie almost everyone has liked is in all reality a piece of shit even if he thought it was good, just to stir up some shit.
I would like to see a study done on these people and see what the ratio is who are stuck in reality tv land or similar brain dead entertainment and have a bad week if they miss their newest installment of American Idol.
