Or at least, that's all I've gained from the third season. The episodes are too much of nothing. I mean, they've dropped everything of interest from the first season (numbers, Ruissou, the monster, as mentioned above), and resolved one of the three biggest questions (imo) of the second season, like so:

- What are the Others intentions for JKS?
- <s>Where is the hatch storyline headed?</s> Nowhere, it's exploded!
- Where are Michael and Walt?
Haha, I must be too patient. I was just thinking after I watched 3-03 that this season is moving way faster than the other two did

I loved the drug trip with Boone though. And it's like... is he remembering something he really saw? Or is it all just hallucinations? And I was happy to see more Boone, he's cute

Anyway yeah, they're not forgetting stuff or retconning. Given that there is so much though (Tons of characters, numerous arcs), it's not reasonable to expect them to deal with everything regularly.

Finally I would point out that there are still other hatches - The Pearl, The Flame, The Staff, The Arrow, and The Hydra. Plenty more scope for mystery. Actually though The Staff is abandoned, so there might be nothing more there.

Edit: Although yeah, given the general pacing of Lost, I wager it'll be a lot more enjoyable for those losing interest once it's all done and dusted and out on DVD.
