Yeah I was thinking about that too. I think focusing heavily on the flashback/dream/whatever took away a lot from what's going on on the Island at that moment. I mean, we really need to know what happens with Locke and looking north and I suspect by the time THAT episode rolls around, we've already forgotten why we should care.
I was just reading someone's complaint that at least part of why LOST is losing steam now is because there's too many personal subplots, whereas in the first season, everything that happened on the Island almost always involved the entire ensemble cast. It's really hard to follow what's going on with one group (Losties) when there's something else happening with another group (Kate/Sawyer) and yet another happening at the same time (Jack).

but my frustration with the show was largely because i knew there'd be a big gap after the first 6. now it promises to be every week until the end i'm pretty happy with things.

How to Fix It
For characters: Kill Jack. Kill Kate. Kill Nicki and Paolo (or whatever) and never, ever, ever make such a grade school attempt to introduce new characters again. Make Charlie interesting again instead of the whiny, jealous infant he became. Don't screw up Desmond. Cripple Locke and bring back his mystic bent. Let Sayid loose. More Sun & Jin. Make Sawyer say something besides "offensive attention-getter, unimaginative nickname. Sarcastic comment and/or question." Oh, and maybe explain where Danielle is after all this time.

Most truest of all.

Benry flashback is urgent and key (either tie-in with Rousseau/Alex or do separate ones for them also).

I would love a show with Sayid just taking out Others Rambo-stylee. He can get rid of Charlie as well.

'the wire' has ridiculously elongated stories, but it does at least touch base with minor characters from time to time.

yeah but IRL we know that this whole scenerio was written, shot, and aired with the intention of benry being a minor character.

characters don't hold back figuring out things, or walk past relevant clues to the shows mysteries without noticing them
same themes, time/fate, etc, much less frustrating
