The Best of the Decade: JJ Abrams


JJ Abrams has been driving me crazy for nine years. Since he got me hooked on "Alias" and the many mysteries it created, he has been driving me crazy with questions.
From "Alias" to "Lost" to "Fringe," in the 2000s Abrams established himself as the go to guy for mysteries and secrets.

"Alias" was one of my favorite shows of the last ten years and has continued to thrive on DVD. "Lost" is about to end its six year run and will hopefully answer all of the questions it has inspired. And though, it's not one of my favorite shows the creativity and addictively shocking nature of "Fringe" can't be denied.

The genius of Abrams is that with all of his shows once you watch one episode, you're hooked.


The success of his TV shows helped boost his film career, leading to "Mission Impossible III," "Cloverfield" and of course, "Star Trek."

Looking ahead to next decade, Abrams is already working on the "Star Trek" sequel, "Mission Impossible IV" and "Morning Glory" with Harrison Ford and Rachel McAdams.

Being the geeks that we are, we couldn't have a best of the decade list without the man who gave us Oceanic flight 815, the Rambaldi Prophecy and the pattern.
