From some article I ran across somewhere:

As many fans complain, "Lost" is more about the questions than the answers. It's confusing and captivating. At least some things were (sorta) cleared up in the finale of the dark and hatch-centric second season, which runneth over with sci-fi mysteries that had viewers scratching their heads. Thankfully, the Powers That Be heard the fan feedback and they're doing something about it. In a recent podcast posted on the show's Web site, a producer revealed he was influenced by complaints that season 2 was "too mythologically dense." Expect to see a lot about relationships in future episodes, including a dose of much-needed romance.

I was going to give the show another shot, but...nah. The last line cinched it. "Much-needed," my left big toe.

Remember that triangle that was there in the first season, with Kate, Jack and Sawyer? I really hated that. They're trapped, on an island with lots of bad things going on. Romance? Who's got time for *romance*!

Get to the gaddam STORY! I dropped the show about halfway into its first season because of the frustrating Questions-NEVER EVER-answered syndrome. Just like the X-Files. I ended up hating that show because of the sloppy not-answers.

I'm all for romance if it is integral to the overall point of a show, and if it's done well. But I would be more interested in watching Lost to find out what happens to the people, not who they end up shagging.

If it's integrated, sure - but yeah, you're right, it's more fun to watch a mystery being solved than watchinig who-shags-who and why. Lost 90210?

It doesn't help that I didn't like Kate's actress much. In addition to the never-ending questions never-answered. Blaerg.
