Lost : A Show that's followed it's title too far?


I don't watch this anymore and never really watched it as a fan before. I'm not a Lost fan, just a past passive observer.
But I've heard about the island time hopping. So the island is a greeny exostic delorian?

I'm surprised people still watch this show and are as excited about it as they were when it first came out, cos it's gotta be frustrating.
Lost was a show that kinda brough back the idea of having the fanbase of a show try and work things out and give people things to tink about, clues ect. But for a show that's so famous in it's fan intrigue, it does a poor job of executing any satisfactory feedback.
There are 10 questions to every answer and what few answers the show gives, somehow through the magic of mindgames, creates another question. Too many.
Heroes (for all it's current problesm according to some) and BSG and any other show do a better job of maintaining a manageble ammount of puzzles, theories and prophecies in their story arcs. There's also a potential for the shows to actually answer every question come the end of their run.
Lost will never answer everything by the end of this season and next years final finale.
And you know that people will be upset with whatever the one big reveal is, as they've already covered so many theories themselves.
