I think a show like Lost, or Prison Break (I've never actually watched it) needs to have a set time frame in mind when it gets created. With Lost, the producers need to know exactly how long the story will last so that they know what questions they will have time to raise and then fully explain. I think the problem is that people are just assuming that they are making up as they go along and therefore will never feel the need to answer the questions that they raised.
I guess I still have some faith that they know what they're doing. I really don't want to still be watching Lost in 5 years, having to see Hurley, Jin, and Charlie playing the Harlem Globetrotters to see who gets to use the coconut radio that Sayid made in season 6.
