Sometimes We Get Frustrated Ourselves And Decide

Connecting Dots Is Not That Rewarding Of An Experience.

I Think The Idea That Television Has Evolved To This Place Of Real Thematic Richness And The Fact That You No Longer Have To Get 10 Million People To Watch Your Show In Order To Propagate Its Survival Are The Best Things That Have Ever Happened To Storytelling In This Medium.

The Interpretive Element Of "lost," The Fact That You Immediately Need As Soon As The Episode Is Over To Seek Out A Community Of People To Express Your Own Thoughts About It, Understand What They Thought About It And Form An Opinion, That's The Bread And Butter Of The Show.

But I Do Think That, When You Slow The Conveyor Belt Down, The Quality Control Tends To Go Up. You Have A Lot More Time Between Seasons To Talk About What Worked And What Didn't Work, And Plan For The Future. And The Pacing Of The Storytelling, Particularly For On-going Serialized Dramas, Means That You Don't Need To Do Non-essential Episodes, Just Because You Have To Fill This Pre-existing Schedule.

Just Put Your Best Foot Forward And Hope For The Best. You Also Have To Acknowledge That You're Going To Make Mistakes.
