There are a couple things that I'm getting tired of.

- Jack flashbacks. Aside from the fact I just don't like Jack, his flashbacks are all the same...Jack encounters a dilemma, he scrunches up his face and stares down at someone's shoes, while his father tells him he's a disappointment. We don't really need more than one Jack show a season. There are plenty of characters who only got one show this year and their stories haven't been told and some of them hardly even get to appear in the present-day anymore.

- Ignoring characters. In the first season, every character would appear in every episode. Now you can go weeks without seeing Sayid or Claire; Claire's baby is presumably important to the goings-on, while Sayid used to be one of the "leaders" and was in the loop. They've disappeared, and so have Charlie and Bernard (by the way Bernard, two of your closest friends on the island just died, do you even know yet?) and even Kate, at least Kate in a useful sense. I don't even have a particular attachment to any of these characters, but if everything happens for a reason then all these people are here for a reason and I want to know what they're up to. Involve everyone in the show more. If Hurley and Eko have two useless scenes together, scrap one and replace it with a Charlie and Claire scene.

- Start talking. Jack has to quit being a jackass and Locke has to quit keeping everything he sees a secret. Everyone needs to sit down and compare notes, especially now that they know they've crashed into an experiment. If they do that then maybe they'll start realizing the extent of their connections, and then they can REALLY start to figure out what's going on.

But it would really take a lot for me to sour on Lost. I did give up on X-Files after six or seven years...it wasn't satisfying its story. Lost is still in its infancy, I feel, and while it has a LOT of puzzles that need solving, it's been good in meting out answers at a fairly steady pace. It's ramped up in recent weeks at the expense of general character development. A balance needs to be reached. I'm sure they'll find it.
