Sounds like what happened in Lost. Let's have a bunch of mysterious stuff and then try to figure what it means later. You can tell that's what happened a lot, especially between seasons.
Except that Abrams' involvement with Lost pretty much ended very early in its first season. He seems to get blamed a lot for the perceived problems with the series when he was pretty much hired to write and direct a pilot, create a starting point from which a series could be developed, and then he moved on. He was key in creating a couple of Lost's key mysteries, like the "Monster" and the polar bears that were introduced in the first couple of episodes, but any fault for mis-steps that occurred later on lies with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse - Abrams was long gone by that point.
