I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Guys, Seinfeld isn't in d,t's top 25, but he LOVES a skit on an SNL that barely qualifies to be on SNL.

THE END IS NEAR

Oh boy, you're really gonna be pissed when I say that Seinfeld wouldn't even crack my top 25 of all time. But LOST and Breaking Bad certainly would.
Well, LOST certainly would. Breaking Bad probably would. I can say it would for certain. But more than likely.

No, that makes sense.
Breaking Bad I guess I can understand, but Lost? That show just got awful in the last 2-3 seasons.
Incorrect.

Ugh. Lost doesn't deserve the energy it would take to argue my point.
Look, sure, it got bloated near the end but goddammit if it wasn't an incredible journey

One cute and above average skit on a terrible sketch comedy show that's overstayed its welcome by a decade or more should certainly be compared to a sitcom that ran for 9 years in the grand scheme of "greatest things on television."

I can't believe how much my enjoyment of an SNL skit has gotten to you. Hilarious.

Lost was pretty perfect to me. Even the finale, which was the biggest troll of a tv audience in the history of tv, I really enjoyed after re-watching.

I really don't see how. But I'm glad you loved the show. It was also pretty perfect (there was only one bad episode) for me as well. I'm so glad to see someone talking sense around here.

I didn't hate the finale like a lot of people did, although it did feel like they just came up with the premise of it an hour before they filmed it. But again, I thought it wrapped most things up. I had a few small questions that lingered but after a little therapy I got over them.
