BSG is great. As people said, lots of tough choice moments. During a commercial break of the recent "finale" (it's really just a break in the second season), I turned to Lisa and said, "Ahh, hard moral choices, the hallmark of good character drama." Of course, your article on thematic setup helped me see that more clearly.
Lost is an absolute PtA show. I like it a lot, actually. We're almost done with season 1 now. The show is totally structured in the "spotlight episode" way, with flashbacks and all. I tend to guess the twists as well, but it's still entertaining. And yeah, I hope they can tie everything together. It seems to me that it will require a lot of supernatural elements to actually be present.
This makes AN go "Not tied together so well..."
I was engrossed by Lost until the last few episodes of the last season. I'm pretty sure that once they realized how much money was involved in continuing the series, the focus on closure and tying it all together went out the window.
This makes Per go "Lost is definitely PtA"
