Four Lines, All Waiting: Difference between revisions

** The ''third'' season has everyone's complicated stories [[Luke, I Am Your Father|and bloodlines]] interconnected to the point where trying to comprehend it all is a leading cause of aneurysms.

** Basically, when Heroes is good, you get [[Two Lines, No Waiting]], occasionally dipping into [[Third Line, Some Waiting]]. When it gets bad, it jumps into "everything happens at once and nothing makes sense." Basically, [[Third Line, Some Waiting]] is a tightrope that easily lets you fall into Four Lines, All Waiting.

* May possibly have killed ''[[Drive]]''. Unless it was the overall lack of planning.

* The final season of ''[[Series/Battlestar Galactica|Battlestar Galactica]]'' suffered from this, though perhaps not so much as others. The main problem is that it seemed so full of unresolved questions that it couldn't resolve them all even in the finale and decided not to even try with some of them.

*** And then played straight again with Act 6.

* ''[[Ménage à 3]]'' seems to be headed in this direction...

* ''[[Xkcd]]'' is not an example of this trope, but does attempt to model it [http://xkcd.com/657/ here].

* In [[El Goonish Shive]], the Hold On Hope storyline was like this.
