Dear readers of this board - Lost is crap. That is all

Mr E

No comments or discussion?

No "how the frak did that show/person win that award?"

(Apart from Lost.)

I enjoy "Lost" and all but winning over "The Wire"? It's the Emmys all over again...

KerranJast

What do ye expect? Lost is shown on Prime Time telly on RTE2 whereas The Wire has been buried on weird time slots on TG4. Since all the buzz started to reached Irish people who haven't downloaded the show or bought the DVDs, its being shown from the start on Channel6 which a lot of the country can't receive.
This is the reason panels of critics and people who watch nearly every film/tv show shown are better placed to judge these kind of things rather than Joe Public. Just look at the difference in quality between the Oscars (yes they make the odd bizarre political choice) and the MTV Movie Awards. The Oscar for Best Film 2008 went to No Country for Old Men. The MTV Best Film award went to Transformers. :rolleyes:

Was thinking the same thing myself.

I enjoyed lost this year but the Wire was better.

Thats why most awards shows are a load of ****e, they usually pick what is the most popular and easily digested by the masses. If the show is any way deep and requires you to think, it doesnt stand a chance of winning.

PullMyFinger!

Didnt even hear about these to vote

House > Lost by a mile

Pepe LeFrits

Helluva lot > Lost

Necronomicon

As much as I like Lost, I wouldn't have minded seeing the wealth spread a little. Although I'm glad it got Most Improved Show.

Zizou

Mr E

Now now, bollocko... everything was above board here. Nominees were picked by boardsies and voting was only open to boards users.

Why didn't you vote yourself?

I was not aware of its existance and am now shocked that it survived without my input.

Mr E

Gee, thanks.

The Wire wins most under-rated show and then fails to win anything else? How apt.

I predict it would win a load next year due to the huge jump in DVD sales of the show but it won't be eligible for it then. Laaaaaaaaaaaag.

Mr E

I've tried to get into The Wire a few times now, but I'm struggling. Its just not pulling me in. I've seen that opening scene with poor Snot so many times now, its ridiculous.

Going on hols in a few weeks, and Season 1 will be loaded on my Media player.
I will finish it, dammit.

Thats bad. I found that watching Heros like that runied it for me. I've seen the pilot of heros about 40 times but havent been able to sit down and get into it. Pity. Heroes is meant to be good

Mr E

I thought the pilot for Heroes was particularly weak, actually. It really takes 3 or 4 episodes to suck you in.

I'm hoping The Wire is the same.... I think I've seen as far as Episode 3.

Bounty Hunter

first few episodes of The Wire didnt convince me although i could see it was well made but if you keep watching at some point and you might not even notice the change but you wonty want to stop.

Pigman II

Well that was an immense waste of time.
