True, but they can't answer all of the questions, or all we're left with is a bunch of people on an island. It'll be like, "okay now what do we do?"
The impression I get of the writers is that they have an arc thought out, and it evolves a bit. I also hope that Lost doesn't go the way of X-Files, but it's only the second season. I'm still enjoying the ride and haven't gotten cynical yet.
