I just finished watching Lost. I didn’t watch it in the previous decade, because everyone told me the ending was super bad. Now that I’ve finished it, I don’t get it. What was so bad about it?

    There was a big mystery from the beginning, they all died in the plane crash, and they were building an afterlife where they were all together. They did reveal it gradually, with a mounting number of conflicting facts.

    Battlestar Galactica also had an overarching plan, that they would end up on Earth and restart the cycle.

      BSG is an interesting example. I’m in the middle of a rewatch. Yes on the Earth aspect.

      But the opening credits always mention that the cylons have a plan. After the show was over Ronald D. Moore, the show runner, admitted they made up that line because it sounded cool. There was no cylon plan. Disappointing as that part of the show’s mythology was teased and I would have liked to know more.
