Re Lost, for me, it was the season one finale, when they didn't answer any of the questions they promised to answer.
This was when I dropped off the bandwagon. The producers effectively said "why should we show respect to the audience? Screw 'em!" with their empty promises, and that slap in the face completely negated the enjoyment I'd had of the series up to that point.
I've been watching more of Mythbusters and Animal Planet shows since the strike started thinning out network programs, and so have happily discovered David Salmoni. I refuse to watch reality programming on Network TV, though.
Alias. How I miss your inaneness and good wigs and costumes.
This. I loved pretty much all the actors (although Spydaddy most of all, with Spymommy and Sydney fighting it out for second place). And it was shiny and exciting and things went bang!
Also, Sydney had
the best wigs evah.
And Sloan! Oh, I loved Sloan, and his fucked up relationships with the SpyFamilyRobinson.
But, yes, it
was
made of crazy. And whoever it was that said JJ Abrams' approach to continuity and writing himself into a corner was to send Sydney into said corner in a tight red dress and get her to blow it up? So. Very. True.
Still, I never stopped liking it.
My love for the show was cemented when SpyDaddy KILLED the guy, brought him back to life with the defibullator, then threatened to do it again unless he talked. Also "what's a spork?"
I stuck it out for the first season of Lost (the Kate/Sawyer stuff may have had a lot to do with that) and was waiting for the season premier the next fall but forgot to set the Tivo and then realized I didn't actually care.
Yes! Oh, Spydaddy! How I adored him!
Really, Vaughn-schmaughn, imho. Yeah, yeah, very pretty - move along. But Spydaddy! Made. Of. Awesome!
SpyDaddy and Sark did it for me...I miss
Alias
His relationship with the blonde chick was the best thing about S3.

you mean Lauren? I think that one of my other fave Alias moments was when Sark and Vaughn had their little discussion over Lauren's body and it was ridiculously slashtastic.
JJ needs to make an Alias movie. Yes, I know that he already did that with Tom Cruise, but this time I want Sark and Sydney in it.
