Romeo and Juliet, timeless classic.

Romeo and Juliet II, utter shit.

UPDATE: I was able to get ahold of Lindelof to ask him a couple of questions about the renewal, first about how difficult it was to persuade HBO to keep the show going.

"I'm in Jersey helping my mom move," he said. "I was afraid I'd have to sing for my supper when I got back to L.A next week... I didn't. Mike Lombardo called with the good news and it was a done deal."

And why is Lindelof — who previously had to push ABC to end "Lost" much earlier than the executives there wanted him and Carlton Cuse to — ready for the third season to be the last? (In the press release announcing renewal, he wrote that the end would be definitive, "And by ‘definitive,’ we mean ‘wildly ambiguous but hopefully mega-emotional,’ as all things related to this show are destined to be.")

"It's a gut instinct," he said. "I feel like there's more story, but not MUCH more. And I don't want to drag it out unnecessarily. Lots of fans and critics understandably had a sense that we could have ended after season two... That was a strong indication we were closer to the end than the beginning.

After this great season, I think I'll trust him on that.
