["Lost"] producers plan to address a selection of baffling bits of unfinished business on the season 6 DVD, which goes on sale in August. An ABC insider says the set will include “new content that addresses some of the unanswered questions in an entertaining way,” though disputed reports that there could be as much as 20 minutes worth of mystery-resolution material.
Will this be the Special "We Are Crappy Storytellers" DVD Edition on Blu-Ray?
C'mon! This season has been exceedingly poor and disappointing and now the producers so much as admit that they didn't even try to answer any of the show's lingering questions in the finale?
See my previous post for a list of still unresolved questions from the series.
Here's the thing: Yes, "Lost" has been pretty danged entertaining through its run. But the strung-out mysteries are what made it so interesting. To wind things up without resolving these mysteries or by attempting to answer them in lame, expository dialogue ("Oh, I know what those whispers in the jungle are!," "I picked you because you're flawed") is a cheat.
I remember the producers promising they weren't making this story up as they went along, that they had a definitive ending, that all the questions would be resolved, that this wouldn't be another "X-Files" or "Twin Peaks."
They let us down.
