Whatever happened to the ominous "We're going to have a Locke problem" from the end of season 1? And what about that army Ana-Lucia was supposed to build? How about the mystery of Libby being in Hurley's mental institution? Oh, and they go through a big broughaha to save Eko, only to have him die in the next episode?!And seriously, what the f*** was up with killing off Nikki and Paulo?! Apparently the fans didn't like them being introduced? (huh?) Can we please effin' stop killing off characters for no good reason?They killed off Boone well, I felt. When Shannon died it moved the story forward, and it made you realize that, oh, characters can die before the end of the season. Sure, that's fine, but please don't kill off characters when their backstories are left hanging. Apparently they were planning to kill Ana-Lucia, which I'm fine with. It was a surprise, and her story had been well wrapped up. I mean, hell, I think Ana-Lucia's death is the only one of the show I do like. But they killed Libby because they thought the fans wouldn't care enough about Ana-Lucia's death, and they wanted more impact. They killed Eko because the actor's parents died and he wanted to do other things. They killed Nikki and Paulo because ratings were bad and fans online are apparently morons.I mean, dang it, the best part of this show is finding out about the mysteries of the characters, and seeing their story arcs. It's bloody frustrating.</blockquote>
