As I watched the full episode of Lost (always keeping an eye on the clock - I've been having to wake up at 4:30 for work this week) - a feeling of dread slowly began to creep up. It's still subtle, but it's one that I had during the first few episodes of season one. I'm not sure what exactly to call it, but it's something akin to the feeling I got around the 5th season of X-Files. I'm worried that there really is no "solution" to the show.
Perhaps there are answers - we get a couple of those every episode - but every 'answer' they reveal just raises more questions.
Am I entertained? Sure. But I expect answers. At some point. Really.
Whatever the mythology of the Lost Universe is, it better explain everything, and I mean everything.
I watched every single episode of the 9 seasons of X-Files (plus the movie, plus the spin-off series) and have yet to understand the full conspiracy-story arc - though I've read a few 'scholarly' fan interpretations.
All I'm saying is - there better be a bible for the scriptwriters of Lost.
(Oh - and I need to get some sleep.)
