For me, Lost is a deeply frustrating show. For at least the past 2 years I feel like I have been "chasing the dragon" - trying to regain that excitement I know I felt about the show at one point, even though I can't point to exactly when that was, or what I was excited about.
I guess I'm just disappointed that all the cool stuff that happened in seasons 2-5 was mostly filler, buying time until we got to the planned end in season 6. I'm sad that they neutered my favorite character, even though it seems necessary given how the plot is playing out. And I'm a little bit upset that the writers knew what they were doing all along, taking advantage of people's naive belief that they wouldn't dare give us all these juicy plot points with no resolution!
In retrospect, what we need is for someone to make "Lost: The Good Parts" which will be a 60-90 minute summary of everything that happens in seasons 2-5. That would greatly reduce the anguish of having watched so much with so little payoff.
