I have loved this show so far and the acting and mysteries etc. Are definitely very cool.
However I am starting to get a little worried that this is going very much towards the "Lost" vibe.
While "Lost" was also a fantastic show in terms of acting, directing etc. In the very end what annoyed me was how much of the mystery was there just to be mysterious.
Watching the second season, I kept finding myself a tiny bit annoyed whenever yet another weird mystery was introduced, be it a symbol, object, thing, event... mainly because I can't stop myself from thinking "Will this be relevant in any way in the long run? Is this just one of those there's-a-mysterious-fog-creature or hatch or light etc. That is never mentioned again or explained in aaaany way, ever.
Because that kind of mystery writing eventually just ends up annoying me, since the writer can reach into their behind and pull out absolutely anything and never circle back to it.
"Ok next there's a llama in a red hat that whispers the words "paleontological" and "spatula"!" aand that's it, forgotten one season later, no explanation, it was just there to be weird.
Still, will keep on watching, but if this has an ending one day where it's just on the level of "it was all in his head!" and there is no attempt at even tying some theme-logic towards all of it, then consider this review at least 2-3 points lower...
