I've always found the off-island stuff more interesting. I admire the writers for coming up with a different method each season of having off-island stuff (flashbacks, flash-forwards, literally off the island, sideways alternate reality).
I'm personally positive it's this dramatic gimmick that's driving the choice of story lines and not the other way around. That's alright with me. Island alone would get boring real fast, and the writers know that.
What they don't seem to know is how to wrap up the series with a tenth the talent they've exhibited in having it flow along with no obligations. D'uh. Didn't everyone but the most kool-aid swilling see this coming?
BUT - most seasons have finished way better than they started. I hope it starts improving real, REAL soon.
Because this time the Island stuff is far worse than usual, and I'm not finding the sideways universe all that interesting either.
