It's pretty short and a nice read. It goes into the balance of specificity and answers with larger, unanswered, half-suggested, mysterious motifs. And the importance of giant messy mysteries but how if you're not careful, that's pretty much indistinguishable from laziness.
It kind of sums up why I miss this show terribly but also am...okay with where they left it, if it had to end.
Creating a beautiful unanswered question can be a complete work of art - just ask Schrödinger and his cat.
Just know that some day somebody will open that box and, dead or alive, there better be a fucking awesome kitty in there.
Also, I kind of want to write this bit on a postcard and send it to Ron Moore:
Bad writing is a demon that takes all forms and often finds a warm and inviting host with writers who confuse the arbitrary with the mysterious.
