There was never any talk of the questions "not mattering" in previous seasons. Maybe the writers really just aren't good enough to pull it off. Let's hope they were just tossing out some misdirection with those tweets. Getting nervous as the end approaches I see. There was never any talk of the questions “not mattering” in previous seasons.

Thank you. But in all seriousness, the writers aren't entirely blameless in this. Their entire show has revolved around mysteries and they themselves have promised that the final season would answer many of these mysteries. You can't tease your audience for 5 years and then refuse to throw them a bone before things wrap up. Well, you could, but you'd probably be labeled as the world's biggest dick and get death threats. My personal opinion is that it would be a very poor decision to delay all answers until the final few episodes. It wouldn't feel organic and wouldn't jive with the vibe of the rest of the season, or show for that matter. They should be releasing answers one at a time, every several weeks so they can satisfy long-time viewers and still keep people hooked with the new questions they're raising.

No other thoughts right now, but maybe something will come to me. Just watched the episode, so need some time to digest it. http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/NeverTrustATrailer

Right now, everybody that's with Locke killed someone before they came to the Island, other than Claire. Jin's also sort of iffy, as he only beat the crap out of the guy Sun was having an affair with, and then said guy jumped out of a window on his own. But yeah, Sawyer, Sayid, and Kate were killers in their off-Island days. Jin made a living by coercing people for his boss. Claire had a child out of wedlock (that filthy harlot) and planned to abandon him to adoption. Jacob's guys, on the other hand, have slightly less clouded pasts. Jack saved lives. Hurley was just a good guy (and the only candidate that hasn't killed a man at some point, as far as I know). And I'm not really sure if I should include Illana's crew with Jacob's, but Frank was a pilot. Pilots are usually pretty good guys. Miles took advantage of some people in his day and has always seemed sort of selfish, but he's far from a killer or bad guy. So idk, his status is up in the air. Ben's sort of a mass murderer, but I still believe he has a good heart. Sun never killed anybody, but she was unfaithful to her husband. So those are just some nuggets to chew on. Also, is Richard still just hiding out in the bushes? And where the hell is Desmond if he's so "special?"
