Try to be honest and up front; you’re angry because I don’t care for a series you believe to the be, “...one of the best TV shows in recent memory.”

I should have warned you about this. "Lost" is one of those TV shows/movies that is like a video Rorschach test. Viewers can project virtually any storyline they like onto the show, because one's just as good as another. The writers threw a bunch of junk out there that seemed to make just enough sense to convince people that there was some real thought behind the story, rather than being a random jumble of crap. As a result, there are legions of fanboys out there who are convinced that "Lost" was the best show ever but you have to be able to "get it". If you don't like the show, it's because you didn't "get it", not because the show was a flawed mess. These fanboy types get pretty aggressive when the object of their adoration is criticized.

I noticed the same phenomenon with the remake of Battlestar Galactica, which was another show that started out good and then got retarded and artsy in a left-wing, drug-addict sort of way, but still has devoted followers that swear that the secret to the universe is contained in the show's plot.

Hit the nail square on the head, fr_freak. It’s interesting, if not amusing, to see some Freepers and how unglued they become over a television series.
