There were a few pretty good ones. Off the top of my head, there's the one where the doctor wants to be turned off after screwing up and losing a patient, the one where he creates himself a nice, perfect family and Tom (I think) comes along and makes it a little more real for him, the Cardassian Dr. Mengele, and the Q who wanted the right to end his own life. I'm not sure if any would stand up against the best of TNG, but I'd put them above the average eps. As for TOS... meh.I'm hard pressed to recall a single episode of Voyager that I'd call really good, much less great.

"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

No offense, but do you know where the show is headed?sindatur wrote:I think LOSt does indeed know what's it's doing and where it's going. The problem was that they didn't know how long they had to get there. now they have a contract for an end date, and a known number of episodes remaining, I think we'll see the show take a definite direction.
The writers can easily pull of being clever by wrapping it all up with an explanation, but what will probably happen is the fans will re-explain everything in the context of the finale's answer. In this way, being vague (read: the writers not knowing what's going on) is a cheap way to seem clever when the fans work it out for them and debate about it for years to come.
So, you're thinking they look at the most popular theories and decide, OK that's not where we want to go with this, let's think of something else. Because minor details like the identity of the real Sawyer are guessed by the audience, but, the overall explanations that everyone comes up (Aliens, Purgatory, blah, blah, blah...) are shot down.Loremaster wrote:No offense, but do you know where the show is headed?sindatur wrote:I think LOSt does indeed know what's it's doing and where it's going.
