Then I watched Jericho.
Not having watched Jericho, I'm confused: Was it more or less ass-pully than Lost?

Well, Jericho did drop a bunch of stuff in the second season.
Hard to address everything in 7 episodes, especially when your budget shrinks so half your regulars become recurring or less. Also, I didn't notice them dropping all that much of significance, but that could just be me.

I guess my point was that it can be done, and it can be done well. As proof, see Jericho.

Art Crawl!!!
Jericho was one long adrenaline rush second season - they had to make decisions to concentrate the storyline and only allow in things that would move it forward.

That should be every show's objective - all the time.
But that does explain how it was so awesome.

What is even happening?
And our love for it explains why it's over. sniff

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I still maintain that if Lost was two seasons long for it's entire run, it would have been considered one of the greatest TV shows ever.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.
I neglected to look at the masthead of that article until I was finished reading it. I thought perhaps it was an April Fool's joke, and then I saw it was from the Onion.

Or Prison Break. They so should have ended that show by sailing away. I can't even muster up the energy to search to find out if it's dead yet or not, and am vaguely embarrassed to have watched so many episodes of Sweaty Men Standing Around Inside A Chainlink Fence Glaring At Each Other and Occasionally Throwing A Dessicated Chicken Foot on the Ground, or Season 3. (I gave up eventually: did they ever get out?)

Occasionally Throwing A Dessicated Chicken Foot on the Ground
I totally missed this episode, I think. I bailed after Season 2 because I missed the first few episodes of Season 3 and I just didn't care enough to catch up.
