I also think it's one of the reasons <i>Awake</i> works so well. Brittan isn't struggling to find out why his world operates the way it does, he's just accepted this is the way things are.<br /><br /><br />Y'know, Thom, I've heard of <i>The 4400</i> but I've never seen a single episode. I couldn't really say if it fit this problematic niche. Do you know it well enough to say?Virtual Strangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01040333093180694172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859940184293909528.post-89589558021695105832012-05-06T00:09:44.018-07:002012-05-06T00:09:44.018-07:00This made me think of The 4400, which I don't ...This made me think of The 4400, which I don't think fell into that same mistake you're talking about.<br /><br />Did you catch that one?Thom Brannannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1859940184293909528.post-26957405399894941072012-04-26T14:43:12.196-07:002012-04-26T14:43:12.196-07:00This was a good post that made me get lost in thou...This was a good post that made me get lost in thought a few times so I had to read it again. <br /><br />I haven't seen any of those shows so I am trying to think of other examples. What about <i>Carnivale</i> ?<br /><br />But I guess shows like <i>Supernatural</i> and <i>6 Feet Under</i> which both have supernatural elements are the opposite of this because there is no secret, its just the way things are.Evannoreply@blogger.com
