Personally I'm not sure JJ Abrams is all he's over-hyped to be. Lost
started off OK, but is *SO* slow going that many people have given up
on it. Some people also find the contiual swapping of timeframes highly
annoying ("current time", flashbacks to the past and now they've
started using flash-forwards to the near future).

He also reportedly doing about 50 different projects at once, so it's
no wonder they aren't as good as they could be ... either he's spread
too thin OR he's simply signing his name onto things done by other
people because he's the latest new toy in Hollyweird's toy box.
