Line 60:
** Funnily enough, a promo from the show's last season is scored with the tunnel song from ''[[Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory]]''. You know, where Wonka gets more and more freaked out because he has no idea where he's going?
** The season six DVD has an epilogue on it which explains some of the left-over mysteries like the [[Non Sequitur Scene|Hurley Bird]]. Ben even lampshades the issue of unexplained questions by telling the Dharma employees that even though they may have a lot of questions, they'll only get two questions answered between them. And don't get started on the fact that this short was a [[Revenue Enhancing Devices|DVD-only exclusive]]...
* In general, the works of [[J.J. Abrams]] often have this problem. Robert Brockway of ''[[Cracked.com]]'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20140902080916/http://www.cracked.com/article/18353_the-top-5-everything-decade-for-better-worse_p3/ put it best]: "A creative visionary and genius... for approximately two seasons, after which point he cracks, panics and starts [[A Wizard Did It|rambling on about magic]] instead of writing a coherent plotline." To a certain degree, even ''[[Felicity]]'' fell prey to this, as did ''[[Alias (TV series)|Alias]]''. It'll be interesting to see if the same happens to ''[[Fringe]]'', or if he's finally got things under control. It's been doing fine so far (or at least seems that way), and it might help that a fair number of the episodes are already borderline ramblings about magic.
** Walter Bishop did quote [[Clarke's Third Law]] word for word in response to a particularly bizarre case. There [[It Runs on Nonsensoleum|aren't really any limits]] set for ''Fringe'' to break, though.
** [[Word of God]] is that they do have an ending and a way to get there, plotted over several seasons. However, said ending can be adjusted and deployed on short notice in case they don't get as many seasons as they planned for.
