Try to find a copy of an old sci-fi movie called Forbidden Planet. Think it was one of the first sci-fi movies. They had a monster that was almost identical to the one on Lost. They called it an Id monster. Watch the movie. It will explain.

Ok, here's the deal.  "lost" was a show that was never really supposed to be a success.   The  same show was once shot as a pilot called "Survive" over 20 years ago with a few differences.  It wasnt picked up and was shown as a TV movie of the week.  Starred Lloyd Bridges as the pilot since the entire planeload of 80 some people made it down safely.  It was not picked up as a series because the networks decided a cast of 10s of people was just too difficult to write about.  A similar show was also turned down about 10 years ago with people lost on some strange island in the bermuda triangle.  Also you have the same difficulty as old shows like "Lost in Space" and "Gilligans Island"  If they are rescued, the show ends.  As with most shows of this nature, when it does end, it will be sudden with many unresolved issues.\n\nAnyway, returning to "Lost" the show was never really expected to be a big hit so the writers didnt really care where the story went and now that the have painted themselves into a corner, so to speak, they franticly try to get each new episode ready by filling it up with unimportant trivia on the backgrounds of the people instead of having the issues resolved like who built the hatch and who the "others" are and what experiments are being performed and such.

I'm with you. And why was this season so short when the next one is going to be 16 episodes? I'm really sick of them throwing out these new mysteries without solving any of the old ones, first. How can I give a crap about Desmond's ability to know the future when I still don't know how Locke wound up in a wheelchair?\n\nI kind of feel like I'm cheating on Lost - it used to be the only show we watched - but we're kind of digging Heroes now. You might want to check it out. It's not as smart or complex as Lost but it's the same sort of thing. And if they give you a question they generally answer it.

Michael went back to the other shelter, where the tail section was. The trail Jack and them were following wasn't Michael's but something planted by the others to lead Jack into a meeting with them. That's why it ended right where the others were, and that's why it was so clearly going north.\n\nAnd soon we're going to find one of our questions about the show answered with another question! I loved the show last season but it's missing something this season. I can't put my finger on it but it's just not the same.

I use to watch lost all the time.  I loved the first season.  This season has been very difficult in keeping my attention.  It seems like it's just started all over since the other half of the plane was discovered.  So slow moving...

Used to think it was the writers version of "Purgatory" where people go before they go to heaven. Now I think it is purgatory for all who watch the slowest moving programme in the history of TV.\n\nI missed the whole second season and managed to catch up by viewing one episode last night.\n\nIf I see one more flashback I will throw up.

TV shows often don't show new episodes (or only show repeats) during the holiday period, because TV ratings are lower during this period.  Commander in Chief is an example.  It hasn't been cancelled, the next episode is due January 10th.

I just watched HBO's promotion and it said 3 episodes left before the season final episode.  I"m taking that as 4 left.   Now sometimes the last one is two hours so you may want to count it as 2.

They were never brought back to the show. Those episodes you saw were previously recorded from last year. After they got arrested and tried to come back, they weren't welcome to the show.

I love Lost.  Actually that's not quite true.  I'm addicted to Lost but it stresses me out.  It's def. not one of those shows that you kick back and relax in front of.  Edge of my seat for an hour, I swear.
