Lost Is Back, With Character

Cindy White of Scifi.... pretty much cementing what I thought of the premiere being a character-based (Jack) rather than plot-forwarding. 
Abrams speculated that the demise of last year's crop of science-fiction-themed series was due to a lack of focus on character.
"I feel like the reason why shows like Threshold or Surface [or] InvasionLost] is all about what really makes Locke tick. And what has Jin gone through that we don't quite understand in terms of making sense of his behavior, and things like that. The flashbacks are not serving shock value. They're serving character and their history.
So to me, the fun of the whole show is that it's all about who the people are."

I think the writers are stringing us along until they can come up with something
that makes sense. It's like they started out in a maze and now don't know where to go with it. There's a lot of competition from better shows like Prison Break and CSI.
