        I loved Alias. Super 8. MI3. Star Trek. But JJ rode the “magic box” thing a little too hard in phase 2 of his career there. I like a lot of what Lost had to offer but that last season was a real cop out. For the most part, instead of answering questions from the series they just made up new questions in the last season and answered some of those. It was some real hand waving BS.

          JJ had very little to do with Lost after the first half season. He just helped set up some of the initial mysteries and left it to Lindelof to try and sort out the resolution. Lindelof went on to do some amazing series… the Leftovers and Mrs Davis both have good (although somewhat ambiguous) endings

          Alias had the Rambaldi device. JJ rode the “magic box” all his career.
