Good points on the rest of your observation. As a viewer, I never got into Lost, either: due to a busy schedule, anything with a huge story arc that requires watching every episode to follow the story does not keep my attention -invariably I end up missing eps and consequently losing interest in the series. This happened with Revolution recently (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_(TV_series)), and I had been stoked to see that series for MONTHS in advance. I think it would have made a better mini-series than series.
I think this is the same reason I never connected entirely with Star Trek DS9, as opposed to Star Trek TNG (which was more like SG1). I also enjoyed X-Files and Eureka because they were episodic (even though both had SOME over-reaching story arcs as the series progressed). This all may be a limitation with me, as a viewer, but RL is so busy I can hardly do anything else.
