[QUOTE="WizarDru, post: 1814071, member: 151"] Yeah, I think you've nailed it right there. I didn't know that Twin Peaks was originally intended as a mini-series. I didn't really get into it at the beginning, and lost it near the middle. I thought it was interesting and moody, but unsatisfying at points, though I can't say for sure quite why. So far, Lost has impressed me with its writing and characters, so I hold hope out that they aren't going to try a keep the central mystery purely a mystery for an extended period of time. B5 showed that you could reveal the mystery, and then move on from there...which is where I hope they're going. Every episodes, with the exception of the pilot, is supposed to equate to roughly 48 hours, with the first season being the first 40 days on the island (which is supposed to have significance...a Noah reference, perhaps?). One thing that occured to me: we don't know that he actually got his father's body on the plane. I just assumed it at one point, but as I recall it now, we merely saw him beg, not succeed. He may have just been checking the coffin the way a kid turns on the light, even though he knows there's no monster there. Given what he'd seen up until that point, that's what I'd do. :eek: [/QUOTE]
