I love lost, but no it's not. The first 3 years the writers spent their time writing themselves into a corner because they had no idea how long the show would last. Not completely their fault.

The final three they spent their time trying to write themselves out of all the problems they had caused. Overall I think they did a good job considering the fact they had no idea when the show was ending, but it is not the best written show ever.

Certainly see that point but I still disagree with you. Every series has those kind of moments. I think the off rail part of the series made it what it is. There are so many different story lines, its impossible for the writers to tidy them all up.

That story covered a lot of ground and only added to the mystery and appeal of the show.

Yes, that is a weakness. I really wish ABC took Damon and Carlton's advice and green light 5 seasons from the start, and it would have been better. Watch Avatar where Nick gave them their 3 seasons from the start without them going on, and you realize how this can be beneficial. Also House of Cards should have done this as well, because that show is an abortion.
