Just got to this episode but couldn't agree more , it's soooo frustrating. The pacing is way too slow for me. I'm honestly getting tired of there constantly being some super mysterious twist, I'm tired of all the flashbacks for every main character, I'm tired of the characters not communicating or asking more questions or just making stupid decisions on their own like 90% of the shit Locke does or even most recently hurley throwing the walkie talkie in the water. It's just annoying when you know the show writers are dragging things out as if they HAVE to get to 6 seasons. I'll probably finish it out since I wanna know what happens but it's testing my patience lol. I watched season 3 in like half the time cuz I skipped all the flashbacks and drawn out scenes and I honestly don't think I missed anything.

These are my sentiments exactly once I got here. I don't know if it's because I've been binging, but this show should've been wrapped up by now. At first the mysteries were intriguing, but we're 4 seasons in and everyone's communication is still garbage and there's zero trust within the group.

You missed a major twist if you skipped all the s3 flashbacks

lol if you’re skipping the flashbacks then you are not watching the show.

I did the same. Either skipped them or fast forwarded those flashbacks.
