KogaSteelfang 01/09/22 11:14:41 AM #2:	Yes. I was late to the party though. The first episode I saw was in season 3 or 4. Just happened to get a chance to watch an episode. Was really intrigued by what I saw so I bought the first couple seasons on DVD and thought it was fantastic. Unfortunately, by the time I caught up to where I had first seen, the next season was also airing and was already going downhill. Stuck with it till the end though. --- Work in progress, please be patient. <cite>KogaSteelfang posted [p:961601129] in Did you li... [t:79846135]...</cite> <quote>Yes.

Allegedly it was the pet project of some executive and nobody actually working on it wanted to be there. Anyways it was pretty good. Season 3 was when the writer strike happened and suddenly everyone cares about getting pregnant on the island. And then I think season 5 or 6 had ~~a girl fucking die because of time travel allergies.~~ I liked it a lot at first but grew to hate it by the end. --- Others don't get to dictate what's normal and what isn't.

Then it was small characters like the only person who knew how TNT works. Lives just long enough to help the main characters then he dies.
