I understand that the whole show has been based on the whole, eyelid-opening-stare-off-into-the-distance-boom-flashback-thingy. But I seriously think the show could benefit from moving away from that format and focusing more on moving the story forward on the Island. I don't think they should include flashbacks for the sake of including flashbacks (as I feel it was the case in this last episode with Sawyer) but only including the flashbacks when the flashbacks really help develop a character and also the story. I don't think Sawyer's latest flashback was necessary, AT ALL. There were a few interesting tidbits about him but nothing more than that.
True, but it's also interesting to have two different timelines going. The story on the island is more interesting, but so is some of the stuff off the island. Sun's flashback episode was especially good, and in my opinion developed Sun alot. However, I do see where you are coming from with the Sawyer flashbacks.
