i guess, it is called 'lost for a reason but season 2 went all alias season 3-esque with the convoluted plot-line thing....that charlie episode with the religious dreams was absolutly POINTLESS btw (in season 2 remember)

they could involve the 'extra' characters doing something on the beach, or hunting? or gardening imean they are "lost" on the island after all, if the primary characters arent there (i.e sun to do the gardening, locke to hunt, jack to be a doctor) whos the one to garden or handle injuries n stuff you know, if you watch the start of the season there was a balace between the mythology of the show and the whole 'survivor' aspect of the show i just wish it showed the whole survivin aspect abit (if that made anysense at all lol)

and besides where the hell did sun and Jin or claire go anyway?
