Time travel has been a part of the mix for a couple of seasons now, and I thought it was all pretty well done. The thing about Lost is that while they do answer some stuff, they go on to raise bigger questions. Which entirely makes sense. I never understood the complaints about it being too confusing or that they should have revealed more earlier, since that's precisely what caused Twin Peaks to go off the rails and be cancelled.

I think season 4 was one of the best TV shows airing last year, and I hope that season 5 is as good, if not better.

You say that they answer some stuff and raise even bigger questions, but frankly I just don't have a clue what is going on at all. I can't think of much that has been answered, and I don't really see what questions the show is asking anymore. It just seems to have lost all narrative altogether, and is instead an assemblage of disconnected scenes of weird shit happening.

I mean it's not like I'm too thick to get it or something, and it's hardly like I have no taste for long drawn-out serialised dramas with large ensemble casts and mind-bogglingly complicated plots as my love for The Wire proves.
