Ah my people!
I’ve firmly been in the “LOST IS SHIT” camp for quite a while after it became clear that there was no PLAN that it was more of a writing exercise for those creating it. LETS DO SOMETHING COOL! OH NOS! HOW DO WE GET OUT OF THAT!
@Jardine B5 remains one of my top 5 shows of all time precisely because it had a planned story (and backup planned story if things didn’t work out). Sure the effects and makeup date it a bit, but the story is king! I also got real sick of BSG for the same reasons you mention. Recently the Mrs and I went back and picked out shows we want to watch/re-watch/introduce to each other. Zero zero desire to ever rewatch BSG.
