Yeah, though there's some controversy about how they've added 2 female characters to the core cast, plus the writer's strike kind of halted season 3's progress. They're back on track though... I'm praying they don't cancel the show simply because the CW is a black hole of obscurity.
Well, if it's back on then i will start watching it. Hopefully it's as good as what the first season was like.
I don't watch much TV, but I must say that Lost is possibly the best show ever. It's the only one that has managed to hook me and keep me addicted enough to actually endure a week for the next episode.

I used to watch House, Heroes and Prison Break, but they've all gone downhill, imo.
I love lost as well. Other shows such as prison break and heroes are my favourites as well.

Glad to see the new site as well. Well done WIP.

1. Star Trek: The Next Generation (The Original Series was fantastic, but let's be real; it was experimental and heavily hampered by a studio that was more interested in making westerns. Star Trek: The Next Generation is what TOS should have been. It was allowed to dive into controversy's that TOS was never allowed to touch, and unlike TOS (which totally fell apart halfway into season 2), it only got better with age.)

2. Classic Doctor Who (It was silly, campy, and stupid, but it was real sci-fi. The new Doctor Who is fantastic, but it's purely a cartoon fantasy that just doesn't match up to the original. There's nothing in it that I can identify as sci-fi, anymore. Everything is basically ascribed magical properties at this point.)

3. Gargoyles (I warred really hard for which one I felt was better: Batman or Gargoyles. Ultimately, I decided that I love them both equally, but I find the fantasy-action blended with family drama more appealing.)

4. Batman: The Animated Series (And yeah, totally at war with Gargoyles. Gargoyles was Disney's answer to Batman. I can't pick out anything that either of these shows have that the other doesn't.)

5. Farscape (Probably the most quotable television show ever created. Lost In Space meets Star Trek meets Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. This is one of the best sci-fi action shows ever made.)

6. Voltron: Defender of the Universe (I was four years old watching this on TV instead of Transformers, which I watched in the offseason. It totally doesn't count as my first anime because I didn't realize it was an anime until a long time after I'd gotten into anime. I was four. This was an afternoon cartoon. It was about five lions that turned into a giant robot that beat the shit out of giant monsters. One of the drivers was a princess. It was freaking awesome.)

7. Alias (Screw the haters. This show was freaking awesome. It was nail-biting. It kept you guessing with twist after twist after twist. You were afraid for the safety of the characters. You felt their pain in the face of tragedy. These people became your family. This is what great writing is all about.)

8. Firefly (Tell me, have you ever heard the Tragedy of Darth Tim Rothman. You wouldn't have. It's not the kind of story the Fox Network Censors like to tell. They say he despised sci-fi in all of its forms and sabotaged any that came under his control. He was in control of X-Men for awhile and now he has Spider-Man. Of course, the most tragic of his victims was Firefly.)

9. She-Ra: The Princess of Power (I can tell you I had all the He-Man toys, except for Evilyn and the Sorceress, because she was a girl, and mom didn't think I'd want a girl. She was wrong. I immediately asked where Evilyn was. You couldn't have Skeletor without Evilyn and you couldn't have He-Man without the Sorceress. I loved G. I. Joes. I liked all the things you'd expect a boy to like. I would also tell you that I remember having numerous coloring books, and that the only one I can remember was She-Ra. She-Ra was...better than He-Man. I hesitate because I don't think better is the right word. It is a refinement on He-Man. You know...come to think of it, She-Ra might very well be why I have such an obsession with female protagonists. Don't even talk to me about the nonsense on Netflix.)

10. Stranger Things (Speaking of Netflix!!! Coming from someone that doesn't particularly like horror, Stranger Things is actually a lot of things. It's a horror, sci-fi, thriller, and it's a superhero series. And I love it.)
