Cecil, I think "LOST" stole your idea........


Nah not the same. That series was compelling though until they didn't know when to end it. At least in IMHO.The wife and I watched it through Net Flix but after a while it was like Jeeze it's like they are milking this thing for all it's worth and it keeps twisting and turning and never ends. Kind of like if you're doing a painting and you don't know when to quit.

And another thing about writing, plots etc... It's all be done before but it doesn't mean it can't be done again slightly differently and still be interesting. Just like there are only 7 major notes in a scale in music that doesn't meant we still can't come up with anything interesting.

Hey speaking of extinctions isn't it fascinating that 99 percent of all species that have existed on this planet have gone extinct? And the fact that DNA studies have shown that man nearly did so at one point as our numbers became very very small for some unknown reason.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
