That didn't come up in episode #1, but jesus, the questions start quick. "If we're going to watch this show, you're going to have to be OK with not knowing the answers to everything you want to know."

We watched the first episode of La Brea, and I realized that it's just a shitty copy of Lost, so I made them switch to Lost.

I mean, you do get a lot of answers, B. Perhaps not satisfactory ones but answers nonetheless.

I think they're mostly satisfactory, but yeah lots of answers. That criticism has always annoyed me.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I can't think (off the top of my head) of a single answer that I found unsatisfactory.

I was soooooooooo excited to finally see the temple and found some of that stuff anticlimactic. That's probably about it for me.

I get that. I don't recall having any real expectations for that, personally. So I don't recall being let down at all. But I can totally see that.

I paid my time for six years. I'm allowed to have my own opinions about Lost.

Tough up, Buck. It's OK if some of us like the made up universe of no consequence in a different way than you do.

You were the one implying that it was not.

I like some of the things ep likes. I'm beginning to think we disagree of JJ Abrams mostly.

No one LOVES a pilot, but yeah, it sticks the landing. I always loved Lost, I just was never satisfied by the end. I always thought that the claim that the writers always knew what story they were telling from the beginning was bullshit
