I'm sorry but I'm a hater. I got into season 2 or 3 before realizing it was actually dogshit. To my credit I had not yet been inoculated against JJ Abrams' empty mystery box nonsense plots. Of course they all have strong openings, that's the entire point. It's easy to make strong openings because the audience can sense the trajectory of the plot and see it's heading somewhere totally beyond what they can imagine. Except it actually isn't, the author is just lying. He suckered you into boarding an airplane that he never had any knowledge or intention of landing.
