re: LOST re-watch

I started to type up my list, and admittedly it's been since it aired live that I watched is so I was struggling to be specific.

I found this youtube video that rips through a ton of them.

It's a bit over the top but it shows the sheer number of "mysteries" that were just written in as mind fricks with no real end game that wraps them all up.

I know that in real life not all questions get answered, but the main theme of the show was that "answers to questions will be revealed next week on Lost!". It was their schtick and they just kept on playing it over and over.

Also, my hate is probably compounded by BSG and GoT doing the same damn thing. Oh, and I'll add Alias to the list as well.

One of the reasons I have such great respect for Vince Gilligan is that he actually delivers on an end to his story arcs.

JJ Abrams has become famous for starting awesome mystery/drama/action stories, then bailing on them mid-stream, leaving the remaining writers to make shite up as they go with no clue how it was supposed to end.
