LOST -the iconic TV series- Legacy, etc

Im not sure if ive already posted my thoughts or not in this 6 page recently-bumped thread.. i dont think i have .. but i was very late to the party re Lost.. as most have mentioned the first season or two were outstanding television - but it was very obvious as the years went out that the show wasnt meant to last that long, not even close to that long… i absolutely detested the mystic, supernatural elements that became more prevalent in later seasons.. if they had stuck with something resembling reality (at least as ‘real’ as it can be that all those people survived a plane crash on a deserted island)- then the show would have remained on far more solid footing .


Also, and i suppose this is directed somewhat at Guido- just b/c there was conflict between the producers and ABC executives or whatever, doesnt give any sort of pass to anyone.. looking back now 20 yrs later, or when people look back in 50 years- it doesn’t matter who was at fault.. if the last 2 or 3 seasons sucked, then the last 2 or 3 seasons sucked, full stop.. i think it’s a lot like the show 24, which again i was very late to the party.. i realized as i was watching that the first 13 episodes were fantastic television, the next 13 pretty good.. the rest kind of crappy.. of course, when i looked it up, what do ya know, it was designed to be a 13 ep series, greed then dictated many more seasons… none of the behind the scenes shenanigans make an iota of difference, the finished product is what it is .
