Of the two, I prefer Lost, but they pale in comparison to Alias. I mean, Sydney finding out that the man is not Khasinau but actually her shoulda-been-dead mother (and Vaughn appearing to drown!)? I'd ask you to top that, but obviously the season 2 Alias finale does.

shaggydan  03/31/08

Alias, eh. I have to admit to having never watched it. Are you making a recommendation Counteragent?

greywolf17  03/31/08

As far as LOST and West Wing, I hve to go with LOST. As far as Season 1 finales go, I'd have to say that JERICHO was fantastic, Jakes dad died trying to protect the town, Hawkins is prepared to stop a train from getting into the town by using a Tank with no ammo, a new government army that appeared in the blue is now going to Jericho to investigate a terrorist that may be containing a Necluar bomb, and at the end the people of Jericho are outnumbered against people of an opposing town and as the ending credits start coming up all you hear the gunshots.

Not even a recommendation--I command you to get your hands on the complete series ASAP (yes, even season 4). And I apologize for spoiling some season 1 details. Seriously though, best show ever and sole reason for me wanting to write TV.

hmorsey  04/01/08

I agree with Shaggydan on this one...the west wing season one finale was absolutely brilliant...it had me itching to watch the next episode...whereas the lost finale just brought up a bunch of new questions without answering any and made me lose some interest in the show...and interest that wasnt completely renewed until the season 3 finale...

hmorsey  04/01/08

And I have to agree with the counteragent...alias is amazing...i need to get my seasons out and rewatch them asap

outlatrbdr  04/01/08

while it kills me to have to agree with shaggydan, having lost to him twice, when you are right you are right. i spent that entire summer hoping that they did not kill charlie.

RobGrizzly  04/01/08

damnit shaggy, you're right

Moononastring  04/01/08

Can't vote, never having seen The West Wing, but I have to say that...

#1 Lost's Season 2 and 3 finales were way better than the season 1 one,

and

#2 I agree that the Alias season 1 finale was amazing

shaggydan you HAVE to see Alias...the first 2 seasons are some of the best TV ever made

hmorsey  04/01/08

I'm in the minority who loved the last three seasons of Alias as well :)

shaggydan  04/01/08

Counteragent, Moononastring, your Alias support is inspiring. I'll have to find myself a copy of the first season after I get through my current show of obsession.

Until about a week ago, I'd never watched an episode of Lost (I know, I know), and know that I'm little more than a season in, I'm just, you know, blown... away. I'm going to write a blog about it later tonight, I think.

shaggydan  04/01/08

By the way, whose up for a best season premiere episode throwdown, cause I can talk about "In the Shadow of Two Gunmen" all day...

The Counteragent  04/01/08

I loved the last 3 seasons, just not as much as the first 2. Well, and the first half of 3 (up until "Full Disclosure") and 2nd half of 5 (from "Maternal Instinct" on) are up to my high, high Alias standards. God, I just need to make a bunch of Alias throwdowns and stop talking about it here, lol.

The Counteragent  04/01/08

Also, I'd defend season 3's premiere "The Two" as the best (and yes, I'm talking Alias. AGAIN.)

huzzah  04/02/08

Yeah, shaggydan, West Wing's Season 1 finale and Season 2 premier was about as good as it gets, and that's coming from a LOST fanatic. My favorite part was probably how President Bartlett and Josh were both shot, but it was Moira Kelly's character that died somehow...

shaggydan  04/02/08

Yeah, Moira just kind of went away, didn't she. Disappeared like a garden gnome.

outlatrbdr  04/03/08

Was there anything better than her dissaperance? the weekest link on the entire show and she just was gone at the beginning of season two. on of the truly great moves in tv history.

randomlove36  04/04/08

There is no contest...Lost all the way

1) Some guy blew up
2) It reeled us into a new world of LOST-ness.
3) It kept us guessing about the hatch
4) We saw smoky, in a rare screen appearance
I don't think the West Wing, an excellent show, gave us such wonder and such crazy ideas about something as simple as a hatch in the ground. End of story.

ConfidenceMan  04/08/08

Lostttt.

Also, Counteragent, I'm probably going to harass you about borrowing Alias sometime soon - after I get my hands on BSG from Andy, that is.
