Lost Up Their Own Arses
Wow. Apparently, the secret behind Lost is so big, so shocking, that it's caused even the show's writers to lose all free will.
"We suggest you do the same on 'Lost,'" Lindelof says. "That's between the lines here. If you're watching the show because you're waiting for the big answers to come, you have to understand that by the nature of what it is -- it's not a movie, it's not a series of movies, it's not a trilogy, it's not a miniseries -- it's going to be on the air for as long as ABC wants to keep it on the air.
"How can you ever possibly think that 'Lost' will end in a satisfying way? Carlton and I can almost guarantee you that it will not."
Jesus fucking Allah Buddha Cthulhu. Did anyone in the entertainment industry learn from The X-Files? Did anyone else watch as Chris Carter lost the plot entirely and think, "Well, maybe I'm better plan out my metaplot, just to be safe."? Did anyone else think that J. Michael Straczynski's long-reaching, all-encompassing, successful metaplot on Babylon 5 was nothing more than a random fluke?
This is why I gave up Lost for Veronica Mars. Not only does the latter have long-reaching mysteries that actually get solved, they usually get solved with little need for retcon.
