Before Lost!

I was amused to see in the bookstore a new edition of A. Merrit's classic book The Moon Pool (available online here and here). Plastered across the top was a banner announcing BEFORE LOST! (a reference to a pseudo-genre television show that I just can't get into).

So what have you got against Lost, I thought it was kinda cool although they did really drag it out.

When I see a jet engine running without any fuel lines, etc., I have my suspenion of disbelief stretched HARD.

When I see a confused plot line...I get bored.

And as with The Truth is Out There and The Cylons Have A Plan, it turned out the creators really didn't know what they were getting into and took the easy and unimaginative way out to end...so I am glad I avoided it entirely.

And...the point of the posting, I'd rather read. In fact, there is a rare bit of televisino that I'd chose over a good book.
