I gotta admit, I care not one whit for the writing on Lost. Some pretty people on it, though.
Doomed.
The show?
Doomed.
Pretty people do not make a show.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, I don't respect the writing.
But pretty can get you quite far, if you exploit it right.
Some people like the writing -- they can mob the scribes. I'll just kick back and look at the eye candy. Don't need to meet it.

I think that on an episode-by-episode basis, the writing is actually pretty respectable. It's just over the season that it's not holding up. I mean, I don't spend a lot of time wincing at clunky dialog when I'm watching.

Not being pretty, I'll take your word for the facts.
Fuck all that faux modesty!
I be pretty. Lost has lyrics. Maybe we are both easy.

Sure I went over to the Dark Side, but just to pick up a few things.
Somebody announce the name of a series that was not cancelled soon after the first C&D came out of the lawyer's office.
What's a C&D?

Thanks! I was so confused reading a few of those posts. Just out of curiousity - why did Buffy get a C&D?

Thrive to spite them
Buffy didn't get a C&D but various sites started getting them.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
If you remember Rayne's shooting script site, she got a C&D to shut it down.
It's a double edged sword. FOX has to exercise its rights over its properties in order to retain those rights. Obviously, from the amount of BtVS sites on the net posting screencaps and such, they don't go on rampages. They know that it's free publicity, though they have no control over the quality of the publicity.
I think they usually go after sites that just post hundreds of screencaps and little else, or spoiler sites.
