I will defend Lost in its ability to make character development compelling. I never expected to be so involved with the antisocial Korean couple the beginning of the series. Thats great writing.
However, they also made Kate absolutely awful by the end of the series.
Had they come out around season 2 or 3 and immediately said, they will leave some things on the island a mystery, people would not have been so pissed.
That quote at the end of the granland piece is telling. People were pissed at the hatch cliffhanger. How could they not see a problem with ending the series with no payoff?
