Official Lost Season 5 Thread (Warning: Possible Spoilers)

[ArtMonkDrillz]

I was just going to bring up this thread yesterday. I really don't know how I feel about this season. There have been episodes that I've loved but there has also been a ton of stuff that's just frustrated the hell out of me.

The time travel thing is interesting but can obviously be very confusing. One thing that I don't like is that with the exception of Desmond in the 3rd season the whole idea of traveling through time and changing the past just sort of popped up last season. I still feel like there are so many unanswered questions from seasons 1 & 2 that will barely be resolved by the time the show is completely done because of all the new stuff.
The fact that there are so many characters who are so spread out (by location and time) can be a little annoying because it means we don't hear anything from certain characters for weeks at a time.

This season has caused me to stop trying to come up with theories about the nature of the island and the reason their all there, and that kind of sucks because I think that was one of the biggest draws to the show for the first couple of seasons. I know the writers have said that they knew where the show was going from the beginning, but I really don't believe that. I mean, the first season sort of set it up like Walt and Claire's then unborn baby would be completely intergal to the plot but now they're basically gone. At the same time, Ben was only supposed to be around for a couple of episodes but now he's one of the most important characters.

Sorry for rambling. I still am totally obessed with the show and it seems like none of my friends or coworkers watch it anymore so I hardly get to yap about it.
