re: #697 bolivar

We just started last season and had to buy the first 3 seasons. I got a lot out of it last night but, every time they answer a question they make 2-3 more. They tell us next years shows will sew things together. I will believe that when I see it.

They will. Not every little point in the show will be addressed. Many answers will clear up multiple mysteries, some mysteries are simply part of the mythos of the show, and have to be accepted just like you accept flying monkey’s in Oz.

I have repeated this many times, this show’s basic plot arcs have been story boarded from the beginning, they know the beginning, middle and end. They are not making up the major plot points as they go on.

As any show, they have wiggle room to get from A to B to C, but they came to ABC over 6 years ago with a coherent plan of what A to B to C is all about.

That is unprecedented in serial TV.
