This is by far the best show on television, hands down. I suppose Lost comes very close in terms of the quality of the writers, but anybody who has seen the show (and I mean from the beginning, not just sat down in the middle of an episode and doesn't know what's going on) will tell you the same thing. The writers for this show are just incredibly talented and the show deserves so much more recognition then it gets. And the same goes for Kiefer and the other actors. It's obvious that so much goes into this and it pays off. Proof of the show's quality comes from seeing how loyal its fans out. Few shows maintain such a loyal audience and I can't wait to see what happens to Jack in season 6. Keep it up and keep me on the edge of my seat, I can't get enough!
