break up there are enough unanswered questions and detailed fan theories to make even the most devoted viewer worry about the series finally keeping track. In recent times interview with Differentseries creator Dan Erickson reassures that the sci-fi drama won't end like the ABC drama's historical denouement Lost.
To remember the unknown few (Lost ending spoilers follow!). Lostand the sixth and final season surprised several people who had spent hundreds of hours watching the show about a group of plane crash survivors stranded on a mysterious tropical island. In the final season, the show introduced a confusing parallel timeline where the stretched characters live normal lives, only to discover that the parallel timeline isn't a it was just a kind of afterlife in purgatory where they can all come together again. We don't find out why all that strange stuff is happening on the island, what the deal was with all those numbers, or where Jacob (Mark Pellegrino) got grant him the powers of immortality and leave whenever he wanted.
Erickson promises break up will not turn in Lostbut dancing around fully committed to answering all the secrets of the show. “I promise the show will not turn literal Lost. We don't put them on an island and Sawyer shows up. No – we are very aware of that fact that we need to know where we are going, and we need to reward people's patience and faith. “
That break up fan theories are multiplying faster than Apple can pump out events almost guaranteeing that there will be unanswered questions, mainly because they were questions that Erickson didn't ask- ever. The series can have a satisfying ending without explaining how many divisions the Lumon building contains the main team, or why a child working on the broken floor. These mysteries are ancillary and not central to the show's drama. However, there are still several mysteries that they must clear before the end of the series if they want to avoid Lost levels of ignorance.
We need to know what these disaffected workers are really working on, and what Lumon's ultimate plan is. The plight of Miss Casey (Dichen Lachman) seems to be at the heart of the current season, but we also need to know if and how Lumon communicated her death with the facts that Mark S (Adam Scott) says he named a corpse. Under no circumstances can this series end without explaining what the goats are up to.
These are just a few of the main mysteries that need to be solved before the show ends. Lucky for us break up fans, Erickson says season 3 shouldn't have to wait nearly three years for season 2. Let's hope this whole series isn't just happening in Kier's comatose mind in some Lumon nursing home.
