It is called Bad Machinery, by John Allison. It takes place in Tackleford, somewhere in England, and involves kids who are about... I don't know, fourteen, fifteen? (I'm so bad at judging ages that it seems to extend into cartoons... huh.) Anyway, it is so quintessentially fun, cool, young, and English that I can't help reading it in my head in an accent. I've even tried fitting different accents on different people.

Very cool. I'm about halfway through the archives, but it is absolutely fabulous.

Try it. Start at the beginning.

Oooh, and look what I found, the home page! Bad Machinery.

Yes, the cross-pollination with Scary Go Round is odd. I haven't let it quell my enthusiasm, however. As best I can tell, Bad Machinery is Scary Go Round: The Next Generation. In any case, I like the young'uns better.

"Ultimately, "Lost" didn't succeed because of the mythology. We've seen too many examples of mythology-heavy, character-light series fail over the last six years to think that. "Lost" succeeded on emotion, whether that emotion was fear of the monster in the jungle, or grief over Juliet dying, or joy at Desmond reuniting with Penny, or thrills at Sayid's breakdance fighting and Hurley riding to the rescue in the Dharma bus. When "Lost" was really and truly great, it locked you so deep into the emotions of the moment that the larger questions didn't really matter."

The rest of the review is also interesting, if you care.

I find this funny because I, too, am guilty of mixing my priorities.
