The TODOs of Lost

Today I watched the Getting Lost documentary about the awesome tv-series Lost. One interesting fact is that the writers never expected to get past the pilot. They focused on making one episode that worked. But they are experienced writers and by trade they embedded potential in the characters and left small plots that could be picked up.

Like friendly TODOs in code. Not promises to implement. Just honest markers that say “this could be something.” or ”remember to fix this later.”
