      Early Lost was solid. Then, we got the other “others,” they killed off the best character, and the ending everybody predicted (which was vehemently denied) totally happened.

        I said this elsewhere in the thread. I was with Lost all the way to the end. I kept thinking, “okay, we will get answers.” And then we got to the final episode. Most of the mysteries were not answered and the ones that were did not get very good answers.

        It pissed me off as much as the last episode of BSG pissed me off for the same “let’s just throw everything we’ve built out the window, fuck it” reason.

        Wasn’t Abrams only involved with the production of the pilot and then minimally involved with the first season? From my understanding he pretty much had no involvement and Damien Lindelof had to scratch teeth to try and get some insight on where to go forward.

        Then between the writers strikes and well…

          Abrams starting something with no idea of where it will go or what’s in his mystery box then handing it off to someone else to finish was basically his entire career. I’m not sure he ever actually had to finish anything until Rise of Skywalker.
