In revisiting the show for [PLUG] my book, Back to the Island, out Sept. 20 (order now) [/PLUG], I genuinely became SO SAD for what we've lost. Yes, that show had some STINKER episodes, but the space it had to tell its story! The beautiful production! The ambition!!!

There's a lot about post-streaming television that's exhausting, but nothing more so than having everything on rails.

It was SO popular at the time - I did not watch, but my dad’s best friend is a pretty no name actor who played Matthew Fox’s dad, and when we were in NYC for my brother’s wedding in late 2008, he got fucking mobbed and it was truly surreal (and had to be explained to me).

Trying to think what would be the last serialized drama that took advantage (for better & worse) of network long seasons. THIS IS US perhaps?

"Tricia Tanaka Is Dead" would only exist in a broadcast network model. So yes.

Like Game of Thrones, it was a very good show that didn’t stick the landing (though as a fan of both, I was big mad at the time/s)

Star Trek is a great example. You don't have room for one-off episodes that focus on a weird concept like "Darmok" or have one character take center stage like "The Inner Light." You either get a season with no fun one-offs, or you get a season like SNW that's too many one-offs and few regular eps.

I always remember when the back of the plane meets up with the front…and the show takes time for Rose seeing Bernard and I just lost it.
