Walter is the only reason I watch the show. He's that cool of a character. I have enough (too much) TV experience to know that a television show with a running, "mysterious" storyline (the whole "The Pattern" thing in this case) will never have a satisfactory conclusion. I need for my TV to work on an episode-by-episode basis, because I know that's how the writers write it.
It's OK to have a time line (this episode comes after that episode), but no written-by-the-seat-of-the-pants, continuous storylines, please. I'm looking at you, Lost. My least favorite X-Files episodes were the conspiracy theory ones. I just knew they were making all that crap up as they went along. Yeah, they pulled it altogether (kinda, but not really) with the X-Files movie; those particular X-Files TV episodes still sucked.
Ugh.
