MORE answers from Lindelof

This is EXACTLY why I hated LOST, and stopped watching midway through the 3rd season, because of the stringing the viewers along over and over again. I don't like to be played with like this. >.>

Seems a lot of effort has gone into justifying their reasoning for laying out Prometheus the way they did in recent days. Plus the fact that there ARE pre conceived answers to the questions posed. Makes me think the sequel is becoming increasingly inevtable. It almost seems like the unnofical start to the hype and marketing for it.

Me neither. Gave up on LOST during 5th series! late in the game to give up i know. I dont like being played either. makes me want to disconnect out of principle. but i am weak.

I think as this site is getting more and more members and that there are still sections of the [url=http://www.weylandindustries.com/]Weyland Corp site[/url] yet to be unveiled is proof that a sequel is on the cards, maybe sooner than we first thought [url=http://www.whatis101112.com/](maybe 10/11/12?)[/url]

I refused to watch Lost until it was finished and then watched all the seasons. I don't play their reindeer games and wish they had not with this film but there you go.

I would agree if the movie had actually been a straightforward "Alien" prequel, instead of something much more ambitious......but you can't bring "Gods" [i]into a sci-fi story[/i] without employing a [i]lot[/i] of ambiguity. Defining[i] any[/i] God-figure causes us to percieve it as[i] less[/i] powerful, intimidating, and yes, mysterious. Kubrick and Clarke clearly understood this in 1968. Why Scott is getting so much flack for it in 2012 is a bit perplexing.

this is a good thread. I am with you I don't like to be played I usually opt-out on that. I also agree you can't introduce Engineer as God's without ambiguity because it can offend a lot of people/viewers etc. So I get that. I would definitely go see the next installment

as much as I would want to know more, I have to agree with them that giving a lot away is the real disappointment in prequels/films, generally. If you come to think of it, what more did you know at the end of Alien compared to what you knew at the beginning? Same thing goes for Star-Wars, after only Episode IV. And even after the 3 "classics", you still only had hints at what had once been. same thing again for Lord of the Ring, a lot is in between lines and not told, and you don't really know much of anything. Same thing, and even "worse" for more spiritual/philosophical classics (sci-fi or not) like 2001 for example. Clearly some people could consider 2001 like being led up, but I think no one would dare say it is not a masterpiece here. As cliché as it may sound I think that mystery and unknown is what hooks you to a film/saga. When you do it, or more often do a prequel, with a plan to explain things, because that's what people want, you please them once on the spot, but kill the magic and spoil the rest of the story. See the SWars prequels, if it's not clear enough. All in all, I think they did just good and balanced it "old school way", with just as many (if not more) new questions for every answer they gave. Finally, I think it's us evolving in a bad, spoiled-child way as an audience. We're getting so used to being spoon-fed what we think we paid for that we find it annoying that things show some resistance and personality. Another thing is more specific to people on this site, I think. We all over-anticipated the movie, but also had pretty well developed and exact ideas of what we were to find in it. Hence, not only have we brought our hopes too high for the film but also for the number of new answers and confirmations it would bring. It is not so much that it brings too few, it is more that we here knew almost all of it before seeing the film. My sister & her boyfriend or my parents did not feel that way in the least. To them, it was filled as an egg with new things they had not foreseen. Keep in mind we're not treating that film fairly here, folks ;)

I hate this kind of garbage. They sound like a real bunch of arrogant idiots with this kind of talk - so, the audience has made clear they don't appreciate this kind of patronizing crap but we'll do it anyway, because we know better than them what those morons will find "intriguing". Right. Take a p*ss down my back and tell me its raining.

I HATE these MTV links. I can never read them at first because it blocks the page with something like the following message - "The MTV website is optimised for USA, please go to MTV UK for all the unimportant stuff you ARENT looking for hahahahahahah" I have to do a lot of messing around just to be able to view the USA page :( Could you guys pleeeeease copy and paste the text into your thread in future if its a link to MTV. Thank you :)

@allinamberclad dude, it's raining!
