Why I won't watch Lost
There's an article in New York Magazine called "Never-Ending Stories: How to fix shows like 'Lost'" about how TV producers never want to actually solve the mysteries on those kinds of shows because that would (they think) stop the delicious ratings-candy. I agree with everything the author says so hard it hurts. It's the same reason I won't read on-going superhero comics. I just like my stories to have beginnings, middles, and ends. Is that so wrong?

It's so true!
I read that some exec admitted that Lost has no solution to it's suspense- that impossible puzzles are created intentionally, with no intention of creating or revealing a solution to them. I predict that sooner or later people will just find a bunch of motorboats washed up on shore.
This is also why The Wire is so good.
