Sorry, just went off the fly on how I thought you answered it.
Just giving you a hard time, no worries.
The answers thing bugs me because people are right in one respect, Lost did give a lot of answers. It really did. Maybe they weren't all the ones we wanted, but at least for me, I don't need ALL of the answers, but I need the right answers, the ones that make the entire journey worth. Lost did not do that.
I also find many of plot points, the journey if you will, to be out of sync with characters. See Jack Hulk-smashing magic mirrors. Yeah that was dumb.
Anyways, I digress.

Granted I am forgiving of flawed narratives that have good characters, which is why I didn't hate Suicide Squad but despised Batman V Superman entirely.
I still have not seen SS. You guys warned me away from that. Will watch on video though.

I feel like there's a big difference in experience between binge watching LOST now and watching it when it originally aired.
Back then you had to wait a full year between seasons waiting for answers to all the loose ends and unresolved plot lines, some of which never came.
Also LOST was very much a "water cooler" show where every episode people discussed theories about what was happening and analyzed every little detail to find clues about what would happen next or what the endgame would be.
For a show that was supposed to be about how certain things happen for a reason and the interconnectedness of the world, it certainly felt at times towards the end that they were making stuff up as they went.
Ultimately I enjoyed it because of the characters and "the journey" but it was perhaps a bit more ambitious than it could ever deliver in terms of storytelling.

Now I didn't say it was good, but I did enjoy Deadshot, Harley Quinn, and Captain Boomerang. Take that as you will.
