Firstly, LOST. The true genius of the show lies in the implementation of preposterous devices that allow for literally anything to happen and how the audience never questions the show for a second, for the most part. It's taking place in fifty different locales in fifty distinct time periods, simultaneously. Also Sawyer, mostly Sawyer really. Two A-bomb lines: "Open up it's the ghost of Christmas future." and "Shut your trap, ginger." Carmen cannot wait for the spin-off.BIG LOVE has more story lines than Friday night brothel on fire and still it manages to pull it off. There is a potential stabbing that occurs during a male-on-male highway rest stop hiene-sex rendezvous. Bill has sex with a Romanian out of multi-wedlock. Nikki orates on top of her roof in a hat with a 17" radius brim. Bill tricks Native Americans into opening a Mormon casino in Idaho. Margie is secretly chatting the the Romanian. The Romanian doesn't want to get married then does. Barb's vagina has cancer again. Nikki's dad is facing fifteen rape charges. Nikki is a spy in the state department. Sarah is accepted to BYU but wants out of Utah. Sarah's closet lesbian best friend is distraught that they won't be roomies. Tweeny is going through puberty and is banned from her friends house for letting the neighborhood boys look at dirty magazines she found for fifty cents. The Henderson's are convinced that everyone knows they are polygamists, but they are very, very wrong. Albie is having gay sex in highway rest-stops. Etc.
In Bruges got nominated for an Oscar. Score one for justice. Benjamin Button got nominated for thirteen Oscars. Score thirteen for whatever you define the silent evil of the world as. Carmen will not start on Slumdog Millionaire.
