Re: Lost 4-18-07
Lost is a show that requires patience. It's a mystery show - instead of a whodunit, a whatdunit. If at the end of the show's life there remains substantial questions left unanswered and abandoned, I will criticize it as a show that failed to live up to its potential.
Yet I find myself giving the show some leeway because its obfuscatory nature is also what is so rewarding about watching it. I don't think I'd want Cole Sear leaning toward Dr. Malcom and whispering "You know you're dead, right?" in the middle of Act II, and it's in that spirit I will continue to watch and reserve judgement until curtain call.
