Lost

I also started to worry after last nights episode that there isn't a "master plan/map" for the show. I had read the EW article and was surprised that they seemed to say they were making it up as they went along and would keep that up as long as the ratings where there.

Wouldn't it be better to have the general plan of the show mapped out with a set timeframe - say 3 seasons, which seems to me to be about how long good shows can stay good. You plan it out - after season 3 it's done, resolved. Then if it's all that popular you can have spin-offs. Maybe another show about the original "incident" or a show set in the 70's with the original people participating in the experiment.

I wasn't a fan of Alias but a good friend was obsessed, until that show went all wacky for a couple seasons. Then they had to sort of basically act like those seasons never happened and go back to the original premise. That's what makes me a little worried as well since that was an Abrams project too.
