    Am I the only one who thinks this show is too much like Lost? It's classic Damon Lindelof: make lots of 'oh shit' moments that they'll never answer, have two characters constantly cry to each other about their lives, and skip a few years to have the audience forget about its plot holes.

    • the central mystery
      may never be explained.
      and I'm totally fine with that.
      the show is amazing      Ramanisky2
    • But that's a cop out for the writers...twooh
    • how can you really explain that without most people going oh "COME ON?"
      for me its more about the characters and this situation they are in.      Ramanisky2
    • I'm not 12 any more so i not need everything explained to me.ArmandoEstrada
    • ...Don't need...ArmandoEstrada
    • I'm not implying that I need exposition to get something. I'm saying that it's a cop out to have "holy shit" moments purely for effect, without reason.twooh
    • But thanks for the passive aggressiveness.twooh
    • Reminds me of under the dome and the cube.teh
    • It's absolutely like Lost. I'm surprised this is the first time I've seen this mentioned. But that's not insult. Lost was fantastic.CyBrainX
    • IRL there are "oh shit" moments, and they never get explained. I like this show. Ah shit.robthelad
    • I see both sides of this argument, and both are legit. While the show is incredibly in every way, they are totally pulling a Lost on us, and not in a good way.monospaced
    • I get that not everything has to be explained. But so far, I feel like almost nothing has been explained, and that this is the final season.twooh
    • And the reason why I hated Lost was because it clearly didn't have a direction for how to end the show. This is feeling similar.twooh
    • exactly ... if you only have 5 episodes left, it's time to start checking off boxes of mysteries, not drawing new onesmonospaced
    • They did a good job of explaining why those women killed the wrong Kevin Garvey.CyBrainX
    • that is very truemonospaced
