Tim Kring, on what's wrong with season 2

Of particular note to me is the following:

'I've seen more convincing romances on TV,'' he admits. ''In retrospect, I don't think romance is a natural fit for us.''


Tim Kring, THANK YOU for saying that, seriously. Because if there is one thing that can ruin this show for me it's for it to become all about the ships (see Lost becoming all about the stupid triangle). He that the Non-Wonder Twins weren't properly introduced. I don't really think it's about proper introductions, it's just that they suck, but I do appreciate the comment.

I also really really love and appreciate that Tim Kring is smart/humble enough to own up to the fact that they made mistakes. It's such a striking contrast to Cuse and Lindelof being so godamn condescending and basically saying if a fan has become disenchanted with Lost, it's because he or she isn't smart enough for the show.

So thank you, Kring, for proving your awesomeness again. I'm definitely sticking it out .

I agree with what he says! The love stories were so boring, and it's a shame because Hiro and Claire are cool characters, stuck in silly plots. Hiro in Japan was fun in the beginning, but it did drag on.. And the reason last episode was one of the best so far is because it showed some direction, finally!

Anyways, thanks for the link!

So much word. Last year I was surprised by how much I liked Claire. This year I'm downright hating her, and a lot has to do with her attitude because of the West thing.

Everything he says is exactly, exactly how I feel. Thank goodness. At least next week seems like it'll pick up the pace.

It's so refreshing to see a showrunner be so humble and sincere, isn't it?

Haven't been watching season 2, but that is rather awesome for a show creator to be so critical of his show. I loathed Lost and its "love triangle", I think I yawned through most of it XD
