Wash ,'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
[NAFDA] This is where we talk about the show! Anything that's aired in the US (including promos) is fair game. No spoilers though -- if you post one by accident, an admin will delete it.
Aside from them saying in the meeting with ABC when asked what happens:
"That's a good question,'' they said. ''We think it would be interesting to find out.''
I think that "We" refers to the viewing audience, mostly. Even if they didn't know what happened when they initially pitched it, I think they figured it out before they broke the season, you know?

Like with the numbers, or the other details of their much-vaunted plan?
I pretty much don't care if the writers know what the button does or not. It's what it turns out to do that I care about. If they never explain what will happen if it doesn't get pushed, I'll be annoyed. But I don't care if they pull the answer out of their asses as long as it isn't lame.
For the record, it all being a cognitive experiment wouldn't bother me as an explanation.

This, pretty much. Though there is a point at which they will have made me wait too long for any explanation to be a good one, so I hope they figure it out before then.
It's the meta that annoys me. Announcing things cheerily and backtracking on them bothers me. Leads me to think we're not being led, that they're ambling around and plucking stuff out of their asses at every turn, without regard for the long term.

Exactly. I want the storyteller to know how the story ends. Or at least refrain from saying, "I'm just making it up as I go along." It's even okay if, after the fact, the storyteller admits he made it up as he went along. But while the story is incomplete, I don't want to know that nobody knows the ending.
If that makes any sense.

Huh. I'd much rather they honestly say "We're making it up as we go along" than pretend to have it all worked out in advance, which I know is a lie because that's just not how television shows get written. Making it up as they go along is par for the course in the medium they're working with, and it irritates me that they feel the need to hide that.

They seem to be making it up after they go along.
"Oh, let's do this in the next ep!" "Why?" "Don't know yet!" "OK!"
so, I saw some stuff at futoncritic that people may be interested in:
"Revelation," the third "Lost" recap episode, is due to broadcast on Wednesday, January 11 at 8:00/7:00c as a lead-in to its first fresh installment of 2005 ("The 23rd Psalm") at 9:00/8:00c.
WTF are they doing all these fucking recaps?
In other news, there will also be recap eps of "Desperate Housewives" and "Grey's Anatomy" around the same week.
My stepbrother told me that the S1 recap ep they showed before S2 started got him to stick around and watch it, and he's now hooked, even though he hasn't seen any eps from S1 yet (I'm loaning him my DVDs next time I head down to Dad's).
