   ---   
   Well I strongly disagree with you in thinking that Lost was a   
   complete waste of time. You may have a problem with the way it ended,   
   perhaps on a philosophical grounds but it was by no means a complete   
   waste of time. It was as great a series as BSG was I am going to miss   
   it just as much, especially since like BSG it had a definite ending   
   with no hope of a sequel.   
      
   As for "Flashforward" being a clone if you saw it you wouldn't say it   
   since it almost had nothing in common except maybe being in the same   
   universe; although I would had liked to know how they would explain   
   how notorious quantum physicist Simon Campos looked exactly like the   
   deceased Charlie Pace, the bassist of "Drive Shaft." :-)   
      
   Just because they are both science fiction/mystery shows means they   
   are clones. That is like saying "Star Wars" and "Star Trek" and BSG   
   are clones of each other because they are all space sci fi   
   shows/movies, clearly ignoring the tremendous differences between   
   them. There are huge differences between "Flashforward" and "Lost"   
   including that the supernatural doesn't exist in "Flashforward".   
      
   As for the supposed waste of time and money regarding "Persons   
   Unknown", that is NBC's call and lightning can probably strike twice   
   with shows of the same general genre. Anyway I am watching again   
   because I am intrigued and I want to see "Dualla" again. :-) Sounds   
   like Kandyse McClure is going to be a little Starbuck/Ana-Lucia   
   Cortez like in her role. :-)
