Yes, there was emphasis on it. The stories within episodes focused on character development, but the island mysteries drove the story. We'd get an episode that revealed stuff about Sun and Jin's backstory--which led to the question of why they were on the island. Sayid struggled with being an assassin and torturer...and what did that mean for what was going on on the island?

You don't need black smoke monsters, teleporting polar bears, time travel, ghosts, immortal beings, mystical numbers, curses, Egyptian temples, fertility issues, baby snatches, invisible island masters and not one but several groups of mysterious people to set up any character development, much less the not so complex stuff that was going on with these characters. Otherwise just stick them on a mystical island with a couple of visions, not all this junk that was unanswered (unlike the character stuff which was pretty straightforward and didn't need any of this stuff).

It is entirely the writer's fault that people got the wrong impression. But it wasn't the wrong impression. Sometimes shows really are about the plot elements and not character development.

[(Anonymous)]

It was the wrong impression because some stories are amazing because of how they are told and not just because of what the story really tells. Lost is one of those.

Also, the question of why they were on the island was answered. So fucking plainly that it makes for a really ridiculous point for people to still be asking it.

[(Anonymous)]

And Lost was a story that knew it had to cover up the story it was really telling with stuff that looked a lot more original and interesting.

[(Anonymous)]

Because a bunch of dumbasses won't be satisfied with a story about people. Since people are not cool, original or interesting for them.

The same people that think scifi is about the science and fantasy is about the magic. God forbid the stories in them are about people or humanity or characters.

[(Anonymous)]

Those same dumbasses probably watch plenty of shows about people. Only those shows didn't spend years accepting credit for their interesting fantasy plots that got more and more bizarre while characters were bumped off for shock value and contract disputes.

If they'd tied the two together better, fewer people would have been disappointed.
