People will always find something to complain about (including me, I don't like the monster.), but I think season 3 is just as good as the others. I remember, in season one and two, people complaining about there being flashbacks all the time before and nothing happening. I think there's been fewer flashbacks, and more stuff is happening lately. What really happened in season 1? They found a hatch? I don't think Lost has changed, at least not much. I can't wait for the next episode.
