Lost should've ended on Season 2. I accepted Season 3 in good will but they better make this one the last. The series is running out of steam. What used to be condensed and solved in one or two episodes now is overextended in three or four. What used to be overwhelming and very demanding on your attention and memory now is simple and obvious. If once it was fun trying to figure out the plot in advance now it's getting duller by the episode as the misguiding tricks are loosing effect after being abused so much and for so long.
This series was a gem and would finish as a gem had it ended on Season 2 or 3. But if they push it even longer it will loose its special character and become a new Gilligan's Island, Lost in Space, Land of the Giants, etc.
