>it's a sewing up plotholes with arbitrary exposition

Abrams admitted at ComicCon that the studio forced Darlton to abandon the LOST series bible in order to artificially extend the program, indefinitely. If it were limited to three seasons, the island would have been purgatory.

should have never explained any of it, at least then they could do bullshit it all saying its all ambigious up to interpretation.

Still wondering why the island had a tanning room in its centre

In the episode with Jacob's backstory the man in black simply says "There is a power in this island, and I built this wheel with these people here" and that's that

It's been off the air for years and wasn't very good, all things considered. It's not as bad as Heroes but is on the same tier.

>Imagine if Lost had only run for three seasons and had wrapped up in a satisfying conclusion without ever becoming a bloated off-the-cuff mess

You literally just described The Leftovers.

>sewing up plotholes

How is addressing them and writing explanations for them "sewing them up"? Isn't it only a plothole if it's left unexplained?

>>82462158
its more about how lame the explanations were

as the show does shift from something semi-grounded to literal magic in the last season.

For instance, people just kinda handwaved the stupidity of the OP scene as jacob explaining things in simple terms to a simple man.

But then jack goes and pulls a literal fucking cork out of the island and everything starts getting dark until he puts it back.

no, leftovers has all the same problems.

I just want to watch a show about people stranded on an island without and jiggaboo voodoo or holy ghost shit.

Is this too much to ask?
