    I have not liked an episode this season yet. I'm not done, but it has gone way downhill for me. I've always said that I'm prepared to be disappointed at the end, but was just going to enjoy the episodes. Lately those haven't even been enjoyable. I will probably watch until the end, but I've told friends who have trailed off and planned to pick back up when it was over not to bother. The whole part with the old woman explaining things last night was so lame. There is no way Jack or one of the others in the church would not have said, "Enough! What is this island? How do you know how we get back?" It shocks me everytime I read on here how people love where the show has gone.

    Hopefully it will get back on track since it has been off track before (Sawyer and Kate in the cages) and gotten back (the whole Charlie-brother you're gonna die storyline).

    WTF...I cannot even imagine that Sun would leave her daughter permanently behind...not to mention the fact that the island would allow her. Hell, if the island required that Locke wear Christian's shoes...I'm sure it would want an embryo back.

    I have found this season very uneven. I thought the Jughead episode was good especially with the revelation about Widmore. I agree that last night was so-so. I expected to learn MUCH more from Mrs. Hawkins in order to convince everyone to go back.

    Something big must have happened to convince Kate, as well as Hurley and Sayid. I also don't understand Sun leaving her daughter behind. More had better be revealed and quickly.

    But as far as this season is going, there have been some good moments and some that have tried my patience. As I've mentioned earlier I have had just about had with the time shifting. Flashbacks/back stories are one thing. Jin driving up in a Dharma van is something else.

    I must disagree with the last few posters. I have found this season so far to be off the charts good. Season 1 good.

    Lots of answers (The Rousseau epi was great)
    Really great lines
    New Mysteries

    and after next weeks episode (they do need to fill in that hole), we can get down and dirty and see who really is who and what side everyone is on.

    I agree ... I think this season has been as good as much of season 1 and 2 and the final 5 or 6 episodes of season 3.

    I haven't been this excited for the episodes in a long time. I spent over an hour last night talking to a West Coast friend about the episode because we were both excited about how good it was and where its going next.

    I think this season has been good so far, they have left a lot of questions that most likely will be explained. For me, I learned that after season three I can't judge this show until the whole season is up and how it ties together.

    EXACTLY! I don't understand how people are saying they are done with the show after being with it from the beginning because they thought the last few episodes were lame. Remember this is JJ Abrams we are talking about here, the guy is an evil genious! Things will pick up. I for one have been on the edge of my seat every episode and can't wait till wednesday. Stick with it you guys!

    I agree with this. That's why I've far from given up on the show. I'm just a little disappointed sometimes. It's given me so many incredible WTF moments that I guess I have pretty high expectations. I don't want it to become like The X-Files, which got very lame its last couple of years.

    And seriously, I'm going to start having nosebleeds myself if they don't do something about those time shifts. :roll:

    I didn't say anything about this season...just last night's episode. I was so not a fan. It was absolutely ridiculous.

    I'm especially annoyed with the time shifts...as is common with tv shows...they seem to happen JUST at the right time. For example...last night...it just HAPPENED to be Jin that rolled up in the van. Or...it just HAPPNED to be Rousseau's team that came across Jin driftin' along. The Left Behinders just HAPPENED to run into Charles Widmore.

    And, I mentioned previously that the time shifts aren't allowing them to get much rest...and one theory was that the time shifts would occur at longer and longer intervals (like a pendulum). I was ok with that theory...definitely made sense...but, that's obviously not happening.

    And it REALLY don't make any sense to me...that if The Island is so damn picky about having everything and everyone back the way It wants it...why would it not demand Desmond back? Yeah yeah...Des has unfinished business...I get that. But The Island clearly requires CERTAIN people to be there...and he was one of them.

    That's for damn sure. But I *DID* enjoy where she said, "Probably so" in regards to Ben lying. That was the entire highlight of last night's epi. I'm not joking.

    I think because Des CAN change things, the Island would not want him back but those trying to manipulate it do (ala Mrs. Hawking, who is very bad in my opinion).

    The highlight for me Lapidus and Ben's line about reading.

    Desmond came by boat so his way back to the island would be different than theirs - at least that's what I think.

    My only real question last night was why Ben was on the plane because he wasn't with them originally and might have made things "unpredictable" to quote Hawkins said.

    You mean Jack's and Ben's? And...Ben lied there too...he said his mom taught him. His mom died in child birth.


    I don't know...I'm feeling really hostile about last night's epi (can you tell?).

    Ben didn't get there by plane...so by that logic, he'd have to return by submarine.
