10 TV Shows That Abandoned Awesome Ideas Halfway Through

10. Libby's Past - Lost

When she was introduced in the masterful second season of Lost, Libby instantly struck a chord with audiences, thanks in large part to her kindness, mental fortitude and budding romance with the ever-lovable Hurley.

Initially a minor character before she assimilated into the main group, Libby's role soon became more prominent, and her past became a lingering question hovering over the show as it was revealed she was once committed to the same psychiatric hospital as her new beau.

Her mysterious connection to Hurley was a source of much discussion for fans, particularly given the mystical twists of Hurley's tragic history, but Lost dramatically dropped the story when Libby was accidentally shot dead by a desperate Michael.

With Libby's death, so died her story, which was shaping up to be an intriguing chapter in Lost's twisty melodrama. The series dropped many storylines through its run, but this one might honestly be the most irritating; she deserved so much more.
