The End
Once they set the end date the show got a hell of a lot better. There were still bad episodes, but looking back on 6 seasons there were a ridiculous number of awesome moments. I recently learned that Mr. Echo was written off the show due to the actor's request, which changed my opinion of the show as a whole in a big way. I would've been okay with a few more answers, but all in all I will remember the show fondly.

Now - chalk one more up for Lost because, yes, I'm still talking about it, but not in a good way. i guess even though I hated the style, the artificial conversations, the overacting, the non-acting, the obvious soundtrack of strings for lovey moments and freaky horns for "scary" "tense" ones, the questions without answers, the other questions without answers, i was still watching to see how they made sense of this cloud of sheet. i think a tiny part of me was rooting for them because i enjoyed the first season and much of the second so much. We were waiting for a payoff, at the very least, of how these worlds (island and sideways) would match up. They didn't, did they? I mean, the world on the island ended and the sideways world ended. but we still don't actually have a connection. the island was real (fantasy real, but real) and the sideways world we're led to believe was heaven or a pre-heaven. but no connection was made. If the sideways is part of the afterlife, when did they all die? Was that the point of the wreckage shot at the end? They were always dead? Isn't that explicitly what the creators said was NOT the case in the beginning of the show? Or were they hoping we would be satisfied with "there is no now here"? Meaning time goes out the window, logic (even sci-fi fantasy stretched out logic) goes out the window? Just be happy that the slow mo huggy goodbye took place in a church, huh? For us Christians, huh? Thanks - that's all I really cared about anyway. Thank Jesus God was there for these poor souls.
On long car trips, my family used to play 20 Questions...
By like age 8, my dad had to have a light-hearted talk with me because I was lying.
I'd pick an answer that they would have to guess
and as they got close, I'd switch
"no it's not Jean Claude Van Dam, it's Sly Stallone." or whatever.
it was called "The John Fake"
the whole freaking show was a John Fake
Tonight I'm going to watch the final episode of Stargate Universe, which is much better than Lost, yet got cancelled after the second season was produced. So like Lost, there isn't going to be any payoff. Unlike Lost, it's not because of writer incompetence.

In Lost, John Fake was the purgatory. That's it.
Lost poisoned the well of mystery plots.
Lost sucks.
JJ Abrams sucks.
I used to read this blog when Lost was on and I agreed with terrible writing.
I stopped watching the show about half way through Season 2.
