I used to be really into Lost. I was one of those fans that watched it religiously, even to the point to sneaking a online peek at the next episode without telling the wife (we got 'Lost' about a month after the US).
The problem i had was the questions, Oh the questions. As the seasons went on I wished more and more for something that would at least alleviate my frustration. I can easily say 'well done' to the writers for hooking me for so long...
...But then there was Season 3, Episode 14 'Expose'. I would love for someone to tell me why after 2 seasons of mounting frustration and questions after questions, so much juicy plot just begging to be squeezed into our parched throats, the writers decided on A FUCKING FILLER EPISODE!
I was betrayed, it was like they were Ivan Pavlov and I was the dog. It made me cry.
I've lost all tenacity and will to watch Lost since, if I went back it would be like I was going back to an abusive spouse after a breakup.
Probably why I found these funny -

I don't dispute the talent of the writers, wealth of plot or quality of storytelling as all of them are fantastic. I just don't want to be hurt again.
Rant over.
