My favorite abandoned plot was Michael's son. Weird kid that has weird things happen around him, like multiple birds killing themselves by flying into the windows of whatever building he's in.

Then puberty hit that poor child actor like a sack of bricks, and the show runners just decided to write him out and never bring up that plot again.

I still hate that show for making me sit through 7 seasons or whatever of cliffhangers and then answer none of them

Also, his favorite writer, Damon Lindelof. Most of this guy's career is finding ways to ruin film and television plots.

he ruined trek, by setting precedents of his show(lens flare, flashy scenes, ,,etc) for nutrek which was captured by the horrid showrunner kurtzman.

I didn't bother watching it all. I don't remember exactly when I gave up on it, but I think it was maybe season 4 or so. I completed whatever season I was on and never really laid off back.
