J.J. Abrams at TED

Great talk from J.J. Abrams, one of the creators of LOST. As fans of LOST could agree, Abrams is great at creating mystery, and this is probably one of the reasons why I can't help but be addicted to this show. Abrams' lesson here is that great stories should be told with the "mystery box" in mind. Don't give readers/viewers everything they want. Leave something to the imagination.
