That's why I'm glad that I stopped watching Lost on a regular basis. It suffers from the BSD (Big Scooby Death) Syndrome that plagued BtVS and AtS, and I refuse to become attached to characters with whom the writers play Russian Roulette every year.
Dammit, I was shipping Shannon and Sayid from afar, too. Fortunately it was from very, very afar.
I dropped it from my Absolutely Must Watch list at the end of last season, when it became blatantly obvious the writers had absolutely no clue what was happening on the island or what anything meant. I'd been suspecting as much, especially given JJ's history with Alias, but I'd been hoping he'd come up with a plan for a change.
Then there was that interview with David Fury where he admitted the writers were just pulling things out of their posterior orifices. The only thing worse than a show with no story arc is a show that pretends it has one.
Not to say that I'm not still following the show, it's just I no longer worry about spoilers and I no longer worry about keeping up to date on the episodes.

After the last two episodes and her virtual absence, I was wondering what the plan was. Also, they gave her the kiss of death : she quit being such the bitch. God, I hope Sawyer never quits being an ass. Doom!
Not surprised. I wonder if she was the one who was so enraged at being written off that she demanded tons more money just to do the first few eps. Hm. It may also be that she wants out to pursue her fine burgeoning film career.
