The closer Battlestar Galactica gets to its last episode the more you believe it has something useful to say about life and death. The higher the body count gets in Lost the more you realize its writers haven't got a clue. There is just no way the writers of BSG would have killed off Mr Eko. On Lost they are literally killing off characters at random. And, sure, life is random. But stories have shape, or should I say composition, and BSG has elegant composition. I'm sure Lost will continue with the plot twists right to the end, but it'll be a much greater pleasure to watch BSG's inevitable conclusion. Douglas
