The whole Adam and Eve thing was not well done. The funny thing to me about that is I don't think they even needed to go out of their way to draw so much attention to it. When they started showing Jack and Kate, my wife said, "What is this?" I said, "It's from the first season. They're answering the question of who those skeletons were."

Thing is, she didn't remember that. And more importantly, she didn't even care. It's not a mystery she had any interest in. If the casual viewer doesn't remember or care about it, why try to explain it so much? A more serious fan would know immediately what was going on. Everyone else wouldn't notice or care.

Overall, this season makes me sad. I know we haven't seen the whole picture, but I get the sinking feeling that some poor creative decisions were made at the very beginning of the season (flash sidways, clunky pacing, abandoned plot points, etc) that can't be fixed at this point. Hopefully I'm wrong.
