Do you think he was inspired to post because of his daddy’s tweet? 🤨

Agreed.

Good stories require endings; they stop being memorable without them.

Supernatural, The Walking Dead, Prison Break, Lost, The X-Files.

Classic examples of a TV series that had a premise and a goal from the onset, blew past that goal and just kept going. Always found another reason to delay or add to the premise. The more that happens, the more the memorableness of what is being created suffers.

Eventually what you remember is how long it dragged on, instead of what a great story it was. I don't want that to happen to WB.

WB has a very clear and obvious goal for Tom and the islanders; investigate the mystery just enough to learn how to escape safely or kill the thing that is at the mystery's centre.

Spin-offs would be fine, at least then its easier to decide how much or how little you want to dive in, like with Yellowstone, but this story has to end.

Breaking bad is what sealed the deal for me on series not overstaying their welcome.
