I tend to feel cheated, as a reader, if the "gun on the wall" in Act I isn't fired in Act II (metaphorically speakin'). But I'm willing to allow for mystery and a bit of artistic license, too. Sometimes a gun is just a gun, and a Smoke Monster is just a Smoke Monster.Jesse Anna Bornemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03645876835679109025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3130650256161013147.post-5478918605543707452010-06-27T22:35:48.222-04:002010-06-27T22:35:48.222-04:00What a great post, John!

I thought too many answers were given during the final season of Lost and wondered what else people needed to know and, although I enjoyed watching Star Wars ep.s 1-3, I thought they were pretty much disappointments, we really didn't learn anything new. I thought those chapters would have turned everything we thought we knew inside out (like Wicked did for Wizard of Oz), but they were just simple exposition.Chris Sabatinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04881283198619922232noreply@blogger.com
