>"X-Files" and "Twin Peaks" are why I never got into "Lost," that sinking feeling at the end of the day that there IS no ending even in mind, let alone written, and they're just BSing viewers.
"the prisioner" is why I couldn't get into ANY of those shows. It was the same idea; the overall story that they keep you in the dark about. (Hell; you get to the last episode and they STILL don't tell you what exactly happened....) The thing that the prisioner did that the rest didn't was that each episode had an end. You may not have known who won the war; but you definitely knew who won the battle every episode. I didn't get that from the rest of these shows which made it tough to gauge how tough the opposition is, the serriousness of the events, the effect events are having on the characters, and the fun of trying to guess what's going on. (Although a lot of folks have been doing that with "Lost" I guess.)
