I didn’t end up watching. What do you think of the controversial opening scene with the Lost-style plane crash, falling on the same day as the tragic real-life plane crash in Kentucky? Should they have yanked it? Or was anyone likely to be offended by it likely to be doing something other than watching the Emmys that night?
