A lot of that show has pretty much faded for me. But its a prime illustration of a show where the writers got completely lost because it went about 2 seasons too long, and then they made up mythology as they went along.
I remember one interveiw about a two seasons in where one of the witers swore up and down that it had nothing to do with pergatory, or the castaways being dead or in a state of flux. And sure enough in the end it had all of those elements.
I think you have to be really careful with the whole we need a shocking mythology moment in every episode type of show.
the biggest problem with lost is that it traps you as a viewer. If you miss a couple of episodes your completely screwed.
