I totally don't understand why people are badmouthing Lost these days. It's like they had a couple mediocre episodes and everyone bailed. It feels to me largely like the same show it always was, only they've told you a good portion of the backstories of all the characters, so you don't get these huge character reveals anymore. But, then, people complain when they introduce new characters, which is the only way you're really going to have that same sort of huge character modification any more.

Then people get whiny that they're not revealing anything. Well, of course they're not revealing the main mystery; they've got 48 more episodes to go after this season. But it's not like they're not adding any more information.

People are just whiny. They want to know the secret behind the magic trick, but once they find out, they're not going to be interested any more. Losers.
