    I still don’t understand why anybody lets J. J. Abrams make anything after the clusterfuck of Lost.

      I appreciate that he managed to make both Star Trek and Star Wars fans very angry. That took serious skill.

              It is a long road, getting from there to here. I say make your own way. I have opinions about Trek that the larger community seems to disagree with pretty strongly but meh.

              My unsolicited lukewarm take/advice is; don’t let them tell you whats good and whats bad, decide for yourself. Just like Star Wars theres a lot to love, and sure a lot to criticize. Sometimes criticism is fun, but I’ve long since left behind fans who make their entire relationship with the franchise about how bad X or Y is. Its exhausting.

          Um, Damien Lindleof has been in multiple interviews saying that Abrams involvement after season 1 was practically non-existent. I’m pretty sure I remember interviews and a production of that went over the creation of season 1 and he wrote the pilot and episode 3 and that was about the extent of what he did, Lindleof made up the rest with the other writer whose name I can’t remember.

          From pretty much all accounts I am not seeing Abrams involvement with Lost past season 1? Where are you getting this?
