LOST Theories (will have spoliers)

[Jeritron]

They obviously make stuff up as they go along. It's called writing. I don't see why this a bad thing at all. It's expected and I'm actually glad it happens. That comes with the territory of writing a seasonal network TV show. They don't always know what they're going to run into, and things change.
They more than likely plot things season to season. Obviously entire seasons seem to be planned out in advance. Things like the increased role of Linus, or the twists and turns we see from episode to episode are all improvised. It's not like something like Faraday parachuting onto the island, or the boat not being Penny's , etc. had to be set in stone.
That is all just story that gets the show from point A to point B.
It's the bigger picture. The Island, The Smoke Monster, The Others, Richard Alpert. The very big questions and ideas are likely what was planned in advance.

The writers knew The Hatch wasn't going to be the biggest deal in the end, but they made it seem that way because it's good storytelling.

Either way I don't really care. It's fiction. It's all made up as they go along on some level. Whether it's planned word for word, season by season, or episode by episode is really irrelevant to the final product.
The show has set it's own end date and direction, and is ending on it's own terms. I don't see why people are so skeptical that they have a plan.

completely agree At the end of the day, i have been more than entertained for 6 seasons of watching the show, discussing it, and reading about it.
