Lost!

Frankly, Bewitched, I "stuck it out" because LOST was damned good entertainment. Since I knew all along the questions and mysteries were fluff that would never be explained, none of that stuff EVER bothered me. It doesn't now.

It SHOULD bother everyone who went along with it, and poured over every hint for meaning and substance, and took in the lies that were said by the writers and staff outside of the show that it would all make sense in the end.

And a story is NOT life. Fluff is not there to 'just happen.' Not that much fluff. In a novel or a movie, such sloppy writing and loose ends would be unforgiveable. In most tv shows, they get a pass for that sort of stuff. I'd say Lost is an exception that is rightly held to a higher standard than most tv shows. Those CONSTANT questions and mysteries deserved a bit of denouement. LOST is NOT life. It is a written, constructed piece of meticulously planned and expensively budgeted entertainment.


Again, the unanswered mysteries are NOT the reason I'm ultimately disappointed with the finale and the last season in general. But it's a sloppy, cheesy rip-off nonetheless.
