Is it all a dream?

Great, 2 main characters completely went against what we were led to believe were their motivations. Are we supposed to forget that Sawyer has a heart of gold? Now he's just a simple con man again? That was weak. And Charlie, who used to be a decent person with a drug problem, and only seemed to turn bad when the drugs were involved, is now just a bad person. In fact, he would beat and kidnap one of his friends and turn all the guns over to Sawyer just so that Locke would look bad? Are you freaking kidding me?

We seem to be denegrating towards a little Lord of the Flies type behavior, but that totally goes against the flow of the community. The survivors continue to become more organized, more stable, (and fatter???) as they rely on their neverending supplies. The island mystery plot has gone nowhere fast, with maybe 2 episodes worth of story. I'm not sure if I can keep this up gang. I know there really isn't anybody out there (is there?), but this show is getting to be too much for me to even talk about.

I am surprised so much thought goes into such a mediocre idea. Like the elementary social studies problem with survivors in a nuclear winter bombshelter. Who gets to live, who doesn't? Started out interesting, but they put the carrot out and left out detail to intrigue. After the first 8+ episodes, it got tedious. And to name your character who goes from wheelchair to knife hunter, John Locke...come on. Is this transparent pseudo-intellectualism or contempt for American T.V watchers...because if it is contempt, keep doing it. But if not, name another character Neitsczhe.
