[QUOTE="Michael Torrance, post: 166810, member: 719"] But shows have done that--[I]Babylon 5[/I] did that, and was the show that gave the idea of an arc to all shows that followed. It just that to pull it off, a show's writers have to plan the hell out of it and keep working their a@@es off, and the two at the helm of LOST were not willing. Babylon 5 ended on its own terms--not how fans would have wanted it. But it provided a satisfactory closure and made viewers feel that they got a pay-off for the years invested. The reason LOST lives in infamy decades later is that most viewers felt cheated from the "bait and switch" approach. [/QUOTE]
