I find the Others to be fascinating.I believe we will get back to the beach, and am not pressed about it.
I believe the "answers" will come, but don't need them anytime soon.
My patience with the show isn't close to being tested.
I still look forward to Wednesday night, and when the show is over I can't wait until next Wednesday night.
I look at the show as a 4-5 season long novel. I don't want them to answer questions better left for the 3rd Act in the 2nd Act. Lost is one long story. I fully expected from season 1 that lots of people would grow weary and stop watching. I'd rather that, than the alternative, which is that they change the structure of the show dramatically.
You may now return to your regularly scheduled griping.
