The sci-fi nerd will is torn asunder! Who will win in this eternal struggle twixt utopian retrofuture and futuristic ancient history? Remember - it's the fanbases that are at war, not any of the characters from the properties.

I enjoy "Lost." True, I haven't always - looking at you Season 2! - but ever since the writers & producers have gotten together and fixed an endpoint to the series, I've felt like it's been on track and mostly an excellent and addictive show. Good character work, interesting (nerdy) plot elements including time travel, alternate universes and possibly some supernatural aspects.
However, I can see why some people wouldn't like it. It's serialized storytelling exhibiting the biggest clichés of that style - exaggerated cliff-hangers, constant evasion of directly answering questions, lots of back story and characters to keep track of in addition to a very intimidating mythology that permeates every episode.
And then there's the rabid fanbase, which can turn anyone off. In this "letter" to rabid "Losties" - which I guess are the agreed upon sobriquet for devoted fans of "Lost" - this website decides to draw a line in the sand and calls out fans for their behavior.
However, I disagree!

The last of Conan on NBC just aired, and with it comes a few thoughts.
Firstly, I was perusing Hulu today, looking at the most recently added shows to see if Archer had been added yet (alack alas, not until February 14 - weak sauce, I know). I was moving my cursor around the page when I passed by The Jay Leno Show (requisite: Boo! Hiss!) and happened to notice what people are tagging the Leno Show with:

Also, Michael Ian Black wrote a bleak but honest assessment of the whole thing.
Although, I disagree.

It should be pointed out that this is a video with a clear Slash Fiction approach, and if you don't know what that is...well go google it and report to me about the results.
