I don’t even know about the mythos anymore. Way too many curveballs. We’re not gonna figure it out by seeing little clues here and there, especially this early in the series. Trust that. So, resign yourself to a wild ride. Enjoy the characters, because they are ALL very enjoyable. Suck in the well-placed clues, there are subtle ones and not so subtle ones. Let yourself enjoy the pacing, because it’s really not so bad. Lots of really interesting stories and ideas are being set up. Everyone is so ready for the pay-off, and they didn’t even get their pants off yet. That’s America.

I feel bad for the people behind this show. It’s a pretty innovative and complicated venture. They’re doing a show with a lot of subtext and a lot of people don’t get it or don’t care. So, they bait you with pretty faces, Hawaii, amazing stories. What keeps you coming back are the characters. Their stories, their struggles, their pasts. The island is a net. These people are struggling. We’e watching the fur fly. What the impatient folks want is the story on WHY. But, the conspiracy isn’t done cooking. Theres a lot, a lot, a lot of ground to be covered still. Lots of important people that have to be introduced before we’re going to BEGIN understanding the true WHY’S of this whole thing.

The people who produce this show are making it more for the patient people. The people who like a slow burn and appreciate a good build. People who are sick of mindless entertainment and instant gratification. People who know the devil is in the details. It’s super tough for the producers to keep such a wide fan base entertained. They’re doing ok though. Lots of people are still into this series. A sad inevitability is the disappointment a lot of people will feel when the series finally closes. Theres no way this amazing build will work out to be as big as everyone expects it to be. We’re Americans! We whine, we piss, we moan, we get disappointed easily, we send back cheeseburgers, we want $@^& done OUR way! We want our favorite show to be our everything. S’just not that way.

Oh, by the way. This shows OWNS every other show you’ve ever watched, so shut your mouths. WAAAAHHHHHHH WAHHH
