Last week's awesome episode - 'The Candidate' - served an
important purpose in establishing Fake Locke/Man in Black/Smoke
Monster as THE bad guy, THE chief antagonist of the season and
pretty much all of Lost in general. Why on Earth would you
completely negate all of that great work just one week later by
having the audience suddenly feel sympathy for the character? He
was held on The Island by his mother, never allowed to leave, and
all he wanted to do was see what there was beyond The Island. He
didn't come off as a bad guy at all, and his desires were totally
reasonable.

Then take Jacob... they basically made him out to be a naive
& gullible mama's boy with no brain of his own... just doing
whatever he was told and never really question…

Now that LOST is slowly winding down, and will ultimately come
to a close after one more short season (how depressing), I started
thinking back & wondering how Lost's seasons and story arcs
would be remembered by its fans...

What I've noticed over the years, is that everywhere you look,
people are always praising the current season as the best ever.
After Season 4, everyone said, "Oh my God season 4 was the best
season ever!! Best Lost season by far!!" And now as it grows
further away, people are becoming more level and logical in their
thinking, rather than just praising it since it was most fresh in
their minds. Season 5 will be praised and adored for the whole year
since it's new to everyone, and we're all still in such awe of it -
lik…

I want to start by saying I'm a HUGE fan of Lost, have been
since day 1. And I'm only analyzing these plot points to see if
anyone shares my frustration on these few particular topics...

There are three huge plot holes in Lost that have been driving
me nuts lately. The first and most obvious (which has been
discussed numerous times already), is the whole Charlie/Desmond
flashes storyline. Charlie gave his life to save Claire, based on
info he received from Desmond. Yet Claire was never taken off the
island in a helicopter, and Charlie has seemingly died for nothing.
At the time, it was one of the most fulfilling & emotional
storylines in Lost history... yet looking back on it, seems rather
disappointing. Why didn't the vision occur as all …
