HAS LOST GONE ASTRAY?
For two seasons, LOST, has keep a large viewing audience captured in its immense web of tangled subplots, well constructed character-defining flashbacks, while weaving a story line promising six degrees of reparations. Yet, by the third and current season, the killing off of major characters, and the stripping of various story-line threads, have left viewers disappointed and empty.
Backgrounds of the departed, seemingly following paths destined to meet at recurring crossroads of other character's journeys, now appear to be meaningless and incidental -- just as a child's chewed pencil follows a maze's path only to reach another dead end. And as new characters are being introduced possibly inciting 'other' flashback threads, too many prior uncertainties, dangle precariously in limbo.
Somehow between season two and three, the writers have LOST their way and the once, tight-knit series is quickly losing its audience as it becomes a parody of itself. The creative writing team needs to pick up the dropped stitches, before the story pattern is LOST forever in a tangled mess of loose ends. If not, LOST may go the way of "Twin Peaks."
Who did kill Laura Palmer and more importantly, who cares???
