I love JJ Abrams.. but I'm so sick and tired of hearing people call him this big creative genius.
Alias grew mostly out of Alex Kurtman, Roberto Orci, and John Eisendrath's minds.
He had very little to do with LOST beyond the very initial planning. Just about everything we see and know about the show today is from the mind of showrunners Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
I don't know as much about Fringe, but I'd be willing to be that it's more Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman than it is Abrams.
It's a stupid thing to be annoyed about, but it gets on my nerves sometimes. JJ Abrams is given far too much credit for his TV work.
