I just finished watching Lost. I didn’t watch it in the previous decade, because everyone told me the ending was super bad. Now that I’ve finished it, I don’t get it. What was so bad about it?

    BSG is an interesting example. I’m in the middle of a rewatch. Yes on the Earth aspect.

    But the opening credits always mention that the cylons have a plan. After the show was over Ronald D. Moore, the show runner, admitted they made up that line because it sounded cool. There was no cylon plan. Disappointing as that part of the show’s mythology was teased and I would have liked to know more.

      That line is dumb, I’ll agree on that point, but you can easily filter it out, and you’ll get a much better series. I didn’t remember that line until you mentioned it. If you need to cut out major plotlines for a series to be good, then it’s a bad series. But if your series is suddenly much better by willfully forgetting a single dumb line, then let’s all collectively forget it and enjoy it more.
