When JJ Left Alias and Lost in other hands the quality of the shows suffered. Their first seasons were brilliant.

The first season was brilliant? The first episode was lame! I watched most of the first episode of Lost. My God if I had been on the plane with those people I would've started killing them myself (yes, I think they were that dumb). Just watch the first episode with no knowledge of what's going on. I'll even give you a little example:

Everybody's on the beach trying to help the survivors. They start arguing about who was really on the plane and who might have been on the island when they crashed. All the sudden, some dude comes running out of the jungle talking about finding more survivors. Now remember, everyone else has been on the beach and the plane is in the water. So how did this joker get into the jungle? Oh yeah, turns out he's one of the ones that was on the island from the start (wasn't on the plane). How is that brilliant?! Seems to me that everyone else (including the detective that was so easily fooled) is a bunch of retards.

Lost only got "mysterious" after the first season when they started looking at everyone's past. They managed to explain why Locke was dazed and confused during the first episode and probably a lot of other things. I jumped into a few episodes here and there and just couldn't stand how stupid people were being. "Make sure you type this code in or ...something bad will happen." WTH?! I know what the code does now only because I wasted 2 hours of my life watching one of the season finales.

Now I know some people like Lost, but come on, it's no more brilliant than anything else he's done.

Perhaps the show has changed a lot since I watched it. To bad I'm not willing to sit through season 1 in order to get to the good sci-fi show that it might be now.
