Deep in our souls, we know the world is twisted. In the absence of a creator God who knows how the world is supposed to be, we cannot explain why we know the world shouldn’t be as it is. And without a God who chose to imbue the vision of perfection in humans, alone among all creation, how would we even think to want to straighten our now deeply wrenched Eden...

This lipstick-slick spy thriller is the dramatic equivalent of a bumblebee--a preposterous bit of engineering that by every law of nature should never get off the ground, yet it flies magnificently. Creator J.J. Abrams (Felicity) had a brainstorm: What if Felicity's college-girl heroine, or someone like her, were recruited by the CIA to live a globe-hopping, karate-chopping double life? The result is an improbable, heart-pounding and-tugging mix of fantastical '60s spy chic and emotionally realistic drama that is less reminiscent of today's troubles than you might think. Grad student Sydney Bristow...

There's not much Dynasty-style camp here, just a great cast and sardonic writing by creator Mike White (Chuck and Buck). Judging by the polished pilot (directed by Diane Keaton) and the weirder, eerier and funnier follow-up, this is the best take on the creepy rich since Fox's short-lived Profit (1996).

...gimmick of taking one season to show one day's events. Now it's about a too-close-for-comfort scene in the pilot, in which an assassin (out to kill a presidential candidate) blows up an airplane in flight. The explosion will be cut, but, says co-creator Robert Cochran, the story line will stay the same: "Our obligation is to treat this subject with realism and intelligence and as much insight as we can." Alias creator J.J. Abrams says he's made one change, but The Agency is completely discarding its original pilot, which dealt with terrorism...

...currently plan to scrap host Ellen DeGeneres' monologue and a skit about President Bush and Al Gore. Comedies like Friends and Sex and the City will seem surreal, maybe even grotesque, if they return to a happy Manhattan where no one looks up in worry upon hearing a plane. Creator Aaron Sorkin of The West Wing, his fictional White House dramatically outdone by reality, has written a special episode dealing with issues raised by the terror attacks...
