Kind of what Lost appears to be heading to
The whole premise of Lost is to very slowly reveal parts of the story, while building up the characters. It could have been done in one season and been much more interesting.
This show is nothing like Lost. Lost is a show that holds no responsibilities to their audience. Here's a typical Lost writer's meeting:
JJ Abrams - Good afternoon fellas [they only need to work half days]. What should happen on the show this week?
Writer 1: Well, I think we should do something radical. Maybe actually write a story that has a logical plot and feasible explanation of events.
Other writers: HAHAHAHH! Good one, Jim.
JJ Abrams - But no seriously, what should we do?
Writer 2: My daughter loves polar bears.
Writer 3: Yeah dude, but it's a tropical island.
JJ Abrams - Who cares! Polar bear for little Stacy it is. Anyone else have kids?
Writer 4: (nervously) well, Ross does like dinosaurs, but I think they are extinct.
JJ Abrams - DONE!
Writer 1: (getting the hang of it now) How about pirates? And an underground bunker ? And sharks with tattoos?
This show is NOTHING like Lost.
