Hello World!

There were three items which were particularly interesting to me in the news bullets I just posted. Damon Lindelof talked about the dilemma of revealing too much or little of a show's mysteries, and another two reviews have been posted that are less than complimentary about season two.

I personally think season two has been very inferior to season one. Whereas season one had a mystery to ponder and you had to try work out what was going on, there is nothing to guess about in season two. It's all very on the nose: what you see is what you get.

I think the writers could string us along a bit with more mysteries. Lost does get away with it, as you know the score with the show and they keep the writing entertaining. Marc Cherry shouldn't worry so much about being new, and go back to more of what works. Let's get some more mysteries about Mary Alice back, and more intrigue and dark, sinister plots. Yes it may be rehashing, but it also works.
