Of course, he never resolved the problems of Alias, which similarly had a great premise and then superseded that with another high concept plot and then another high concept plot and so on until nothing could have any weight or meaning.Michael in New Yorkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01449933463450154603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20710455.post-1147289767221645202006-05-10T15:36:00.000-04:002006-05-10T15:36:00.000-04:00I see two problems with Lost, which I watch religi...I see two problems with Lost, which I watch religiously:<BR/><BR/>1. Timing of episodes, which has been discussed ad nauseum. I am hopeful that this will be corrected with three 8 episode uninterrupted runs next season.<BR/><BR/>2. Drawn out plot lines. 24 has shown that you can quickly advance a complex plot line without burning viewers out (as long as you avoid repeats). Lost hasn't really found that equilibrium yet...almost as if they're afraid to give away too much too soon or they'll run out of material. Lost needs more episodes where a lot of stuff happens the entire episode, not just the last five seconds leaving a cliffhanger until the next week.<BR/><BR/>I believe these are both very correctable, and I believe ABC knows what an asset they have and will fix these issues for next season. <BR/><BR/>At least I hope...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
