Lost, where have you gone? (get it? hahaha!)

I was watching Lost last night and realized that I have stopped caring about what is going on. If everything that has happened will still happen, then why does it matter? It's like watching Revenge of the Sith, you knew what was going to happen because you had to connect Attack of the Clones with A New Hope. With Lost, you know what happens to all of the non-Oceanic people because it's still their 1977, but it is 2007 for Jack, Kate, Sawyer, and all the others. Hurley and Miles tried to explain what was going on, and I do understand, but it takes away from the show that I started watching 4 years ago. The show is becoming one big flashback, it's showing how the others and the Dharma Initiative became what they were when our main characters first landed on the island. We are getting the answers to questions we have been asking for years, but I don't know if I like the way they are doing it. I'll still watch because I am invested in the story and it doesn't hurt to have Evangeline Lilly and Elizabeth Mitchell around.....

I do want to say that Micheal Emerson (older Ben) and Terry O'Quinn (Locke) completely stole the entire show in their one minute of screen time. Locke only said one line and Ben didn't say anything, but their expressions told an entire story in one small scene. I still don't understand how Micheal Emerson has not won an Emmy for his work on this show. He's been nominated twice and deservedly so. What started out as a two episode role turned into a role as the leader of the "others". Only a superior actor can take a guest star role and turn it into one of the main focuses of a huge TV show.
