re: Convoluted Plots: Abrams and Modern Film and LOST

I think this guy is trying way too hard to make some kind of grand statement about Abrams and television.

I see what he's trying to say (and I somewhat agree), but he could have said it in a much less convoluted way and without the ridiculous CAPS. In fact, I think his method of arguing is somewhat ironic because it's "plot" mirrors the structure of Lost. Not sure if that was intentional or not.

Anyway, yes Lost had some serious weaknesses, but it also did a lot of things great. And it was a successful drama on network TV which is impressive in its own.
