Did I say they aren't good? What I was saying is that they wrap things up nicely by the end of the episode. Except if it's a two-parter, every episode has a nice beginning, middle and end and the problem is solved. So if somebody can't handle a storyline taking what will probably be 7 seasons to complete, they should stick to shows that have 40-minute storylines instead.

I know. "Only smart peope watch Lost and only stupid people watch CSI and House" isn't remotely close to my point, but if you want it to be my point and then take it as an insult, go ahead.

Other people can occasionally be useful, especially as minions. I want lots of minions.

I'm surprised that some people on here are so impatient with Lost. So yeah, they ask more questions than they answer, that's the whole fun of the show! It makes you think! This instant gratification need that TV viewers these days seem to have is getting really annoying, and if one can't handle Lost then one should stick to House or CSI. If you guys read a murder mystery, do you get really frustrated when you're on page 40 and they STILL haven't revealed who the murderer is?

An entire season is more like a book in a series than 40 pages in a book. And yes, I would get pissed off if I get a big fat "TO BE CONTINUED" at the end of a murder mystery book. Leaving room for another book is one thing, but the answers we got in the finale, especially considering the suggestions in the ads/teasers, were really minor and unsatisfying. On the plus side, I didn't waste time watching most of this season knowing that they were going to draw it out for as long as possible, and was rewarded with a nice 1-hour season summary episode vefore the finale so I think I'll watch all the rest of the seasons like this too.
