Don't you feel like they just spring something on us at any given moment just when we start to feel like we know a character? It's fine for the first few times, but after a while it begins to feel like pure manipulation and very formulaic. And this is my main issue with the show. Twin Peaks was like that for the longest time, then it just got weird for weird sake. I think it insults our intelligence. But, then again, I'm watching.

I mean, beyond the fact that Sawyer *SPOILER* doesn't seem to be grieving as hard over Juliet *END SPOILER* is he that much different from the Locke episode he was featured in a few weeks ago? But the Kate arc actually paid off nicely. *SPOILER* Her whole reason for coming back to the island was to find Claire and bring him back to Aaron, and that didn't go so well. Seeing her deal with something actually heart breaking and frustrating was such a nice change from seeing her deal with who to sleep with, the blond or the brunette. *END SPOILER* Here's to being fools who keep tuning in!

Each character arc is so confusing that anyone can be made to look good or bad any given time. I find it really frustrating, but I'm another idiot who keeps watching.
