Based on bits and pieces I'm picking up about the way LOST ended, I'm ten episodes behind, I'm placing a permanent moratorium on watching any American SF series, and anything associated with Abrams and co. until AFTER it's been established that that particular project doesn't trade in Christian symbolism, Deus Ex Machina or messianic characters. I already threw down over prophesy (was nice to see China Miéville had my back on that, see: Un Lun Dun, Kraken), it's a really stark and tedious reminder that America's culture is not my culture, and that while people around the world might buy into that mythos, I do not. I'm so sick and bored of it; the passion of Christ is about as resonant for me personally as Britney's meltdown.

Gene Wolfe gets a blanket pass because he's a genius, Orci and Kurtzman do not.
