I’m fine with them making it up as they went - hell, even Breaking Bad (in my eyes the greatest show ever) didn’t have everything plotted out ahead of time. The problems I have with Lost is 1) a. They told us they had it all figured out in advance “how it was going to end” and b. that they would answer the big questions and 2) a. “How it was going to end” simply meant the ending artistic shot and not the plot… and b. that they didn’t answer most big questions.
They strung us along for years saying they would tie it all in, and they did not in almost every case.
