I am fed up of the same writing way of American serial writers. They always try to to extend the play by adding characters and stretching the story line unnecessarily. You will always have a jack(good guy) You will always have a Sawyer(bad boy) But both are working together in broad sense. Every new character is introduced strongly and it loses its worth as play moves on.(Ana Lucia, Juliet, Eko, Tom) Ben type characters continues to win because writers have to stretch the story with their win. Original story fade away. Many a things remain unexplained or a lame explanation is provided. When a serial becomes predictable because of these and many other reasons then they kill some main/good character to make it unpredictable.
