And, no, I'm not kidding. A bunch of sideways slice-of-life stuff is not moving the plot along as far as I can tell yet. I'll give that time, but as I've posted - it seems more like giving each character their curtain call in orderly turn rather than storytelling.
On the Island - 8 episodes to reveal the names at the cave and the lighthouse? Other than that, endless waste of choosing-sides time which could have been accomplished in 20 minutes. And should have been. In fact, the whole season seems to be taking Episode I lessons.
Except for the excellent Ben Linus episode week before last, it doesn't seem like anyone posting in this thread is much more enthralled with this season than I am - so I really don't feel like my criticism is out of left field - but in any case, that's how I feel.
With the proviso, that I'm used to having things move along at a greater clip via watching the episodes one after another on DVD. Maybe it's just seeming too slow to me on a weekly basis.
