Sep 21, 2009 - yes! heroes wasnt amything worth watching after season 1. it was almost as if they only had a story written for season 1 and after that story was concluded the producers were like "now what??"

Jan 4, 2010 - he just rumbles on and on....at the end nothing ends up not going to the answer....crazy talk

Jan 30, 2010 - Well I think I got the jist of what he was trying to say. Basically they had a ideas for sub plots and stories and the main plot idea and probably the ending. Now as your going along obviously things change, sub plots are removed added based on fan response, actors, writers, its organic in that it changes, but not that they are making it up on the fly like some TV shows *COUGH* Battlestar Galactica *COUGH*

May 11, 2010 - What do you mean almost like? That's exactly what happened. Heroes seemed like it didn't even have the ending OF season one planned properly. It was all awesome up until the final....I can't call it a fight. It was just really bad.

May 24, 2010 - When you get to the top of the mountain and the fog clears, you see J.J. taking a big dump on your favorite show.This idiot should have spent less time listening to himself talk, and acting like he's some kind of guru of storytelling and gone somewhere with all the great ideas presented in Lost, instead of turning one of the most interesting shows ever into a bunch of sappy drivel

Jun 7, 2010 - I know what you mean. The battle between Jack and Smokey was alot better-and they didn't even have super powers!

Anonomius0 Says:

Jun 7, 2010 - What do you mean? They had what they wanted to do planned out for five seasons. Even some of the founders we hadn't seen yet were supposed to be part of future story arcs. Although I think they somewhat changed what they were planning after SEASON 2. Of course I can't say that Lost is innocent of completely changing it's course apart from the end (Some time into season 3).  Though we may have originally returned to what was originally planned for season 5.

Jun 7, 2010 - Remember the final battle last season when Peter and Samuel pushed a pile of dirt at each other? Wasn't that exciting lol

Jun 12, 2010 - @Bitrunner1 As opposed to an orgy of guns, cussing, and slow motion escape scenes from explosives? It may be the inverse of that, but it's still just as bad. I don't see any reason why anyone in television should pay attention to your thoughts on this. :/

Jul 20, 2010 - jj had nothing to do with lost after season 2. nothing at all.

jayrobson88 Says:

Sep 28, 2010 - well he did write the season 3 premiere. After that though, yea, nothing at all.

Tschiyeah Says:

Oct 12, 2010 - he didn't explain what (from the final season) was planned from the beginning.

Jan 23, 2011 - Bah. The Finale made it glaringly obvious that the creators pretty much made it all up as they went along. They didn't give any (good) answers because they simply didn't have any to offer.That's why they came up with that sob-ending about the afterlife that you could have tagged on to ANY show with exactly the same results.

Mar 26, 2011 - Navenn has fallen asleep 2:28 Well done J.J !

honkeytroll Says:

Apr 5, 2011 - for those who couldn't understand his rambling: what he basically said was that they had a lot of ideas since the beginning but the specifics and how the ideas connected with one another were made along the way (perhaps to give room to consider for fan reaction and accidental hits like the benjamin linus character turning out to be awesome).

Aug 28, 2011 - For Fringe, Lost, and Alias, they all are serialized - and this is what I so love about the shows that J.J. Abrams has created... It's as though each show is a book and the seasons just chapters.... I LOVE to read and watching all of these shows is very similar to watching an epic that allows one to "escape" and live vicariously through the characters in the shows... Most of all are the story arcs and themes which are so prevalent in all of these shows...
