Yeah, dude. Fuckin' walk on Lost. I gave that shit a season and a half and knew they had no fucking clue what they were doing. Then I heard the scuttlebutt.

Ever noticed how everything JJ Abrams has done since Felicity has been a remake? Yeah. Disney pitched JJ Abrams on having him remake Fantasy Island. They wanted something a little darker, but still family. So instead of Mr. Roarke and Tattoo we got a smoke monster. And instead of an episodic where Mr. Roarke teaches everybody life lessons every week, we got bullshit non-linear "here's some backstory so that you don't pay attention to the fact that nothing is actually happening" narration.

Pull the plug. It just gets worse. The Wire, on the other hand, basically takes a swipe at a different aspect of the drug war every single season.

Season 1 it's the druglords.

Season 2 it's the teamsters.

Season 3 it's the politicians.

Season 4 it's the schools.

Season 5 it's the media.

My main criticism of The Wire is there are effectively no girls in it. It's an almost entirely all-male show - even the female detective is a lesbian. Thus my wife could never get into it, because it's straight up all crime and men behaving badly. But it is truly incredible.

Eric Holder asked David Simon to do more of The Wire. That's the Attorney General of the United States, asking for more of an HBO television series. Here's what David Simon said:

The Attorney-General's kind remarks are noted and appreciated. I've spoken to Ed Burns and we are prepared to go to work on season six of The Wire if the Department of Justice is equally ready to reconsider and address its continuing prosecution of our misguided, destructive and dehumanising drug prohibition.
