Were the LOST writers making up the show as they went along? This two-part video essay delves into answering that very question as thoroughly and even-handedly as possible. Part Two explores the second half of the series and how Seasons 4-6 came together, including what the end game plan actually was, how the writers strike impacted the show, which plotlines got retconned, and dissecting some of the controversies surrounding the showrunners and their comments.
