MYSTERY BOX

"Maybe there are times when mystery is more important than knowledge."— J.J. Abrams

Totally.
Disagree.

In the short term, when a couple begins their relationship, a little mystery goes further than knowledge, but at some point those personal mysteries have to unravel in order to get to know each other much better.

The fascination with mystery boxes is that of a young child several days before Christmas, shaking boxes under the tree. Since you cannot see what is inside the box, it makes one mad to find out. For some, the sole goal is to rip the box open to see what is inside. For a few, it is anticipatory dread that there may be something disappointing inside the box.

Some say LOST was Abrams'  monument to mystery because it left so many unanswered questions. If six seasons were a tribute to his love of magic, wonder, and infinite possibility, what was truly inside LOST's mystery box?
