season 5 promo

Yeah, they did nothing really with Miles, Daniel, Charlotte & frank, after introducing them relatively well, then nothing. And the other ones you mentioned too - if you add up the time they spent on Jack flashbacks and divided it between other characters, it would have made for much better episodes i think!

Definitely. I mean, I know Jack is the favourite, whatshisface has even admitted that, but they should be writing the show for the viewers, not themselves!

I know, Lindelof is so truly madly deeply in love with Jack it's not even funny! It's ridiculous!

I mean, not liking Jack (for all the well documented reasons we've discussed before) shouldn't be as much of a problem as it is in a show that's meant to have a large ensemble cast! There's always going to be one or two you don't like, but having so many of them usually means there's not too much time on any one person.

Yeah exactly, I could cope with not liking Jack, but it's turned into The Jack Show!

It's such a pity, looking back I think the first two seasons were the best, they had plenty of self-righteous jack but at least there was plenty of other stuff too, and the other characters hadn't been shoved into the background as much!

_________________

Yeah the first two were definitely the best.

I still hold out some hope for it as it was so good back then, that maybe they'll go back to the wider focus (and the island as the focus!) but it's growing fainter Sad
