During the series run of Lost, I was in the midst of an M.F.A. program in Dramatic Writing and of all the criticisms I have had about such pre-professional writing programs, I can at least be grateful that Lost was never held up as any paragon of dramatic writing, at least not in any the courses that I took. I agree though that they were totally winging things—the zeitgeist was intent on presenting Lost as doing something extraordinary when they were pulling plots from nowhere. The sudden appearance of a smoke monster…well, it’s not exactly Masterpiece Theatre, is it? Your mention of circular character building made me chuckle a little because I immediately thought of what Mad Men did with Don Draper. At least with Draper, the conclusion served to confirm how shallow a person Draper was.
