The problem with Lost is that it completely set itself up for these expectations. And many people walked right into it, hook link and sinker.

Well, many people who didn't witness JJ Abrams' complete failure to make any sense out of the mytharc he established in the first two seasons of Alias, anyway... *g*

I've seen Abrams' work; I knew from the beginning he didn't have a plan. Nothing I've read about LOST since I stopped watching (back in season 2) has convinced me that even a reasonable amount of the questions will be tied up in a satisfactory way.
