Lost needs to seriously inject some more mythology, Stat! The last two episodes have been so out of character and so lame.
Also, they're milking flashbacks ad nauseam. This show is on the downturn if they continue in this recent trend. In reality, though many argue otherwise, the only thing keeping folks watching in droves is the mythology. You can only go so far without a serious external danger element.
And honestly, the writers (by themselves or at the behest of the producers) are exhuding way too much childish glee at the creative power they now hold. Instance: connections ad-nauseam with the characters' past interactions with each other, but even worse is the necessity they feel to sprinkle none-too-lightly the numbers' presence _everywhere_.
If, in the grand revelation of this show they do not have a cogent reason for the "coincidences," I will forever mark with disdain the writers and producers, chalking it all up to sophomoric behavior.
