Obviously, I respectfully disagree.

We'll see. I'm just rooting for the thing because I really liked the book and I really like Lindelof. |
To defend Lindelof, I am pretty sure the source material never really explains it either. This might be right in his wheelhouse. However, my big problem with him is he likes to build up, then have no payoff. He could add more to it and still not have it be satisfying.
How the guy who wrote for Nash Bridges became the go to science fiction writer in Hollywood is beyond me. |
Lost was an abortion.

How is why these people are gone not important? Okay the series focuses on how people react to the disappearance. Thats an old theatricality maneuver. I've got no problem with that. I just think that even the 2014 HBO audience wants more clarity at some point. After being burned from Lost and other series, the audience won't invest their viewing time without some explanation. Look to True Detective. Everything wasn't explained at the end but enough that we understood the character's motivations and what the story was trying to say to us. |

That's exactly what the book does and what Lindelof & Co want to achieve. The only thing you're not going to get is a cut and dry, absolute explanation for what the disappearance is. But that's because it's an impossible thing to know. There will be options, opinions, theories, ideas, etc. Just like real life. If the rapture actually happened tomorrow, do you think it would be something that is obvious, or clearly explained? Of course not. Everyone left behind will have different ideas on what actually happened and they will react accordingly. The show is a show about the various ways people react to an extreme situation. I think if one just goes in knowing that, they should be able to set everything else aside and just enjoy the exploration. Some people can't do that. And that's fine. But I think it's silly to write it off before it's aired. I also think it's silly to write it off because it's not the show you want it to be. Let it be what it is and judge accordingly. But don't get mad at The X-Files for not being Cheers. That's all I'm saying. |

I love the idea and I think eventually I'd get over the whole "how did the 2% disappear" if I kept watching.
I'm not going to lie though, with the history of Lost, I don't know if I would make it that long. |
