Just MHO.
Then again, why mess with what seems to be working?
Because it's not working. Lost was a Top 5 show last year, right behind Desparate Housewives. It's not even in the Top 20 now! You could get away with it during S1 because they would pretty well dedicate every episode to a single character and give you the backstory. Now that we have that info, they have been dedicating more to the overall story such as The Others, Walt's kidnapping, Claire's baby, etc. This is the type of show that snowballs. IOW, once it get's rolling, it gets bigger, faster, and harder to get out of it's own way. That's a good thing. FA has it right, they have killed all the momentum with this season, and apparently we're not the only ones getting fed up with it !!

I don't buy the 23 episodes into 35 weeks bit. 24, another show built on momentum with a similar flowing storyline, it told uninterrupted until the finale. That's one of the things that makes it so great! If Fox can do it, so can ABC.
