Short comic strip on Lost that sums up the seemingly fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants scripting which gives so many viewers a love-hate relationship.

I've long since given up hope for any explanation that ties all the seasons together and that explains all the oddities on the island. I just hope this season doesn't get so bogged down in time travel machinations that it transforms potentially interesting characters into chess pieces. Last season redeemed the show by recalling my empathy for the core characters, but thus far this season I sense reversion to the tactic of mythology misdirection which feels like an artificial way to extend the series.
