That show doesn't have any of the silly camp that the original seemed to love indulging in, but has a more realistic (even bleak) outlook instead. Lost is more of a character driven show with fantasy elements, so while I enjoy it, I wouldn't give it a Hugo. As for Veronica Mars, does that show air on a smaller network? It doesn't seem to have made it up to Canada. Kevin Street ___ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
