Lost at no. 12? Does science fiction include sloppy fiction? The show plots reminded me of a campfire tradition of one person starting a story, then the narrative/plot gets passed to the next and so on. It may be fun for the narrators but the product is often boring and ridiculous.

The term ‘sci fi’ no longer has any real meaning. Most of what’s called sci fi is really in the fantasy genre.

Agree on LOST. It’s a similar reason I can’t put Battlestar Galactica at number one. The BSG series finale was full of holes. In response to the many complaints about it, the producers said the public should “get over it.” Heh.

Yup - the writers for that show were just making it up as they went. At least one of them pretty much admitted it. I wouldn't call Lost Sci-Fi so much as just random crap, and I was a big Lost fan right up until the end.
