while I agree with you on your first point, I honestly don't see how anyone could even remotely compare the Lost ending to that of the Sopranos (& which isn't to say that the latter was bad). for the billionth time, Lost gave plenty of answers, if you actually paid full attention (and did some deductive reasoning).

    I was definitely surprised that the Chief's wife was in the Guilty Remnant. Had assumed for most of the episode that she was one of the vanished.

    Developed a hatred for those people within one episode, so that at least says something for the quick development of this semi-dystopian world they live in within only 1 episode. It's an interesting concept...just seeing how different people deal with their lives after something like that. My only fear is that this will get stale, and how long until they can't simply deflect the main question - where did everyone go?!

    I fear the hype will get huge and the answer will be a letdown. But I like the characters thus far...and all my other shows aren't on right now So I'll try not to think too much about that overarching question.

    i feel like coming in 3 years later the show doesnt work without a resolution to where the vanished went, which would make this a 1-2 season show at most

    if the show took us through those 3 years, there'd be a ton more to develop

    Can definitely see this happening. Either that, or one person reappears.

    You also have to remember that this disappearance affected everyone across the globe, not just this one little town that we've exclusively seen. I wonder what other cults and shit have popped up all over, or is the Guilty Remnants and Wayne's mountain clan a nationwide thing?

    yea it's interesting

    it's looking like the point of the show won't be "what happened." as in, they wanted to make a show about this semi distopian neighborhood and the disappearance was the excuse

    watched the pilot last night. thought it was awesome. threw me when the cop's wife was in crazy town. alluding to what someone said earlier, there's no way they can do this without flashbacks/back stories to what's happened in the three years leading up to the current timeline, so we should get plenty of story on how things have come to be how they are.

    We only have so much info, but a theory could be something along the lines of: When everyone disappeared, he was having an affair and the wife left him. Instead of telling his kids about the affair, he told them she disappeared. Now, the kids are all messed up and he's carrying this weight around.

    We only have so much info, but a theory could be something along the lines of: When everyone disappeared, he was having an affair and the wife left him. Instead of telling his kids about the affair, he told them she disappeared. Now, the kids are all messed up and he's carrying this weight around.
    you mean tell the kids their mom disappeared? I'm pretty sure the kids know where she is. it's not like the guilty remnant people are off in hiding
