I think the show took a noticable turn for the worse this past season. The finale was downright A-Team like. Jack, Sawyer and Kate are tired and occupy far too much story time. Ben, Desmond and Locke are still interesting but were really put on the back burnner thanks to this whole "trapped in the 70's" arc. I've also come to the conclussion that there will be many loose ends that will remain untied. It kind of cheapens the holistic story to think that certain anomolies were implemented as swerves without reason. Makes it feel really WCW circa 2000.
