I would advise against finishing Lost. Unless, you are 100% about the characters and their interactions and don't care about why
Seconded. Without giving too much away, I'll just say that it felt like dating in middle school. All buildup with no payoff.

I love torchwood but the mini series was awful. They never explain what the 456 is or even why they want the children. Same goes for Doctor Who, love the weekly shows but can't stomach the christmas specials.
You probably should have tried watching it.
The 456 were alien junkies.
The children were used to produce drugs for the 456.
The christmas specials are always aimed at young children. They are god-awful but the true fans sit through them anyway because the material in them is included in canon. British TV, particularly the BBC, has a long tradition of producing awful sugary-sweet christmas specials. You think the Doctor Who ones are silly? Try watching the Are You Being Served christmas specials.

This program was made possible by a grant from the Ultra-Humanite, and viewers like you.
Only the very last scene (all of a few seconds long) was written before the first season started, and honestly with the producers' penchant for lying through their teeth ("everything on the island will be scientifically explainable"), I have a hard time believing even that. You are right that they had to make up a lot of stuff because they didn't anticipate getting so many seasons, and it definitely shows.
Futurama really shines when it takes a classic sci-fi story and give it a comic twist. Like The last season had The Late Philip J. Fry, which was almost directly cribbed from Flight to Forever by Poul Anderson. That seems like a pretty easy formula to follow so I hope they keep it up.
