Ah Lost, how do I love thee, let me count the ways…
First, the intricacy of the plot amazes me. In a world in which so many shows seem to operate on an episode-by-episode basis, where things seem to be invented from week to week and new links to old stories that don't really work are magic-ed into existence, I feel as though you have actually thought through in advance what you want to happen. I know that sometimes that's not always the case, external factors are always a concern, but you guys seem to have it all planned out and I appreciate that.
Second, you actually seem to answer questions in the series. I know that it's true that you haven't answered the huge underlying questions of the series, and I actually don't hold out much hope for a nice pat resolution, but you have answered a ton of questions. In season one everyone wanted to know what was in the hatch. Now we know. You've answered questions about the Dharma Project and The Others too. Certainly we don't know all there is to know yet, but we're heading in the right direction. Even better though, you've answered the little questions too, or at least pointed us in the right direction. For instance, last week I most wanted to know why Faraday couldn't remember which cards from a deck he had just been shown. Then, last night, you gave us the whole Desmond becoming unstuck in time thing and Faraday in the present sent him to see Faraday in the past. Faraday in the present seemed not to know Desmond however, leaving me with the notion that Faraday has done something to himself to destroy his memory and doesn't remember having done it (hence the playing cards thing from last week). Very cool. Very well worked out.
