<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>I didn't want to say anything originally, but since you asked: In
short: no. I really think the show has gone progressively down hill. It's still
cliff hanger, after commercial, after cliff hanger, after commercial, after
cliff hanger, bam new season. Lately, it has been kind of letting you know what
has been going on, but I don't think it's that interesting and they've
definitely made it more sci-fi. I think they've taken the sci-fi bit a little
too far, but I don't want to ruin anything. It definitely feels like they have
been making stuff up as they go and now they're trying to bring everything
together and it's all very unbelievable. The writing lately, IMO, has been
awful, mainly the character dialogue. <br>
<br>
I don't know why, but I keep watching, because I really want it to be a good
show. I've already sat through season 2, which is a huge bore, so I might as
well make it all the way to the end. I used to recommend the show to people,
but I don't know if I can do that anymore. Season 1 is my favorite, so you
might not want to ruin the series for yourself and continue on to the later
seasons. If you do, don't expect them to be anything like season 1. Oh ya, and
the flashbacks about people doesn't stop, and that was always my least favorite
part of the series; they're on a freaking cool island!<br>
