Yeah I am still enjoying it too, even though I know a lot of people are fed up with the slowdown I still like it. I think they are running out of back stories with the main Losties - the nikki and ? one a few weeks ago was amusing.

They have finally begun to reveal a few things at least. The Others are not the same as DHARMA - in fact, they hate each other. Also, the Others do not know what the black smoke is. Rousseau called it a security system - is it a DHARMA thing or an island thing? And why did it spare Eko first time then kill him?
