WGA files with NLRB against the studios
- Your favorite band sucks, and you have terrible taste in movies.
Geesh, they try to establish some character development and background, and you guys get into a huff over the lack of explosions and fighting and shit.
Rosalina: But you didn't.
Robert: But I DON'T.
Rosalina: You sure that's right?
Robert: I was going to HAVE told you they'd come?
Rosalina: No.
Robert: The subjunctive?
Rosalina: That's not the subjunctive.
Robert: I don't think the syntax has been invented yet.
Rosalina: It would have had to have had been.
Robert: Had to have...had...been? That can't be right.

That's it's problem....the fact that there is usually too much happening in an episode of 24 and most of its important. thats what makes me love/hate the show....Tessian wrote:I stopped mid way through Season 2...

Lost....actually has a similar problem. they have too many subplots going at once.....although now that the immaculately talented (and sexy) Brian K Vaughn is head writer it should start getting better and definitely has sincehe joined the writing staff last season.......he's BKV...he could shit on a blank piece of paper and have it be an awesome story...
You know this BKV? Tell him to start wrapping shit up now. I'm not going to look to the internet (via mini episodes or ARG's) for answers the show sould give me.
Like apparently, the mysterious numerical sequence from Lost is explained in a Lost ARG (Alternate Reality Game...?), and how it is significant to Dharma... but you wouldn't know it unless you went looking for it on the net.

and just because I love BKV's writing. for an example of his briliance check out Y-The Last Man from Vertigo. it will blow your mind with brilliance.....(an is being developed into a movie trilogy)

Lost I didn't get into and don't care to but as others have said above it is too busy rather than not busy enough.Tessian wrote:I stopped mid way through Season 2... BSG is a scifi soap opera.

Delayed answer yes. but the fact is.....all of you both pro and anti WGA are not close in analysis.
