Nah, I'm just teasing, mostly deflecting my own shame for not having sat down and watched the damn thing beyond a couple episodes of Season 1. I've heard they've largely gotten back on track, and from plot summaries I've heard (I know, I know, they were non-con -- just stuff like Dharma Initiative icons and whatnot), there's no questioning this is a brilliant work.
I mean, for fuck's sake, they still hail Twin Peaks (rightly) as a work of genius, and will you just LOOK at how aimless it was?! Lost could have devoted three seasons to the adventures of Locke as a wacky sous-chef in Manhattan, intercut with scenes of boxing kittens and yacht races, and it would still be more coherent than Twin Peaks. :D
