      JJ is great at build up Mystery boxes. He can craft this big world changing question and hype around it all.

      Then, when it comes time to open the box, you find that it’s a pair of old gym socks with more holes than sock.

      You then find out that he spent the entire writing budget on more lens flares.

        Or: When it’s time to open the box, be denies the box ever existed.

      He created Fringe, so I’ll give him that.

      Lost was the fucking worst. I regret watching it.

        I was honestly okay with it right up to the last episode. Then suddenly it was “the island is fixable with a cork” and “everyone’s in heaven” and “no, we’re never answering any of those other mysteries,” the end.

            That is way too many fan theories to explain away a bad ending.

      I really liked Super 8 when I saw it in theaters but I haven’t watched it since then

        It was okay. I wouldn’t call it exceptional. Out of the many sci-fi films that came out in 2011, it was one of them.
