Someone explain what's going on..

Oh my gosh, this show is SO confusing! My husband loves it, but I wish something would happen that actually makes some freaking sense. I want to know why the aliens are there! And what the heck is up with Vicki?! Is she good, or is she bad? I don't want to have to wait six seasons like Lost and then still have it not make sense!

It's easy. See, the plane was eaten by the Langoliers who later spit it back out into the world with the Andromeda Strain in the people's systems. Meanwhile Scott Bakula and Al are trying to get the future alien people back to where they came from and out of the clutches of the crazy evil government people who already so power hungry they destroyed the living tree of the Na'vi. And the bad government people are being lead by Agent Smith and all his clones to find Neo the leader who is in the body of an older but still sexy redhead who has seduced the president.

*nod nod nod*

Or, it's just going to be another show like Lost where they don't reveal the answer you want until the final episode, and the final answer turns out to be not an answer at all.
