Dan and Sarah, you're rewatching the whole thing???? Wow! I notice how mysteries are seemingly solved, but the actual solution is just out of view. Like when we discovered the handcuffs were from Kate, not Sayed or Sawyer as I had guessed. Then I thought her crime, if any, must have had to do with the old guy in Australia who took her in, especially when she caused him to crash... But No! It was something prior to THAT even. And why did she try to give her captor oxygen on the plane, just to show that she's really a good person? It was really cool how at the end of one episode everybody seemed to be getting along great and the music was all playful. The black guy had found the kid's dog (actually Boone had but the kid didn't know that). Then all of a sudden the music grows very scary and the camera focusses on Boone's scowling face., and the episode ends. My question: Did the writers of the first season have any idea what would happen in later seasons? Or did they keep getting new ideas as the seasons passed, like a soap opera?

Yes, they definitely knew what was to come - at least the big ideas. You definitely have SO much to see.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few instances of mid-course steering. Unpopular characters being killed off, as you'll see later; writing around actors leaving the show; even a big 'course correction' before the series started of making Jack the central character (he was originally supposed to be killed off in the pilot); but there is one definite path. There's no way they could have gotten to the point they are at now and kept all the deep interconnections without having it mostly mapped out first.
