Next week, next week" etc. And then never delivers. How stupid do they think their viewers are? Curiously enough, they did the same thing for Alias over and over. But it was Jennifer Garner that spoiled that one for me.
Ok, i'll shut up now...

I'm still kinda hooked, but I find the show really frustrating.
Example 1: half way through Series 1, Michael, Locke and a couple of others get attacked by the giant polar bear. Do the mention it to the other survivors? No! Does it even get mentioned by a single character in any subsequent episode? No! Is it seen again? No!
Example 2: final episode of Series 1, Locke gets attacked by something, which tries to drag him into a pit. He gets a real close look at it, and so does Jack. We hear a mechanical noise. But we, the viewers, are still totally in the dark about what 'it' was, even though the characters looked it right in the face. That's just unfair on the viewer. How come Kate doesn't say 'what was that thing?', or 'did you see it?'. It doesn't get another mention, despite being something obviously so key to the viewer understanding the island.
Come on! Play fair with the viewer!
