ABC's Lost is one of my favorite shows of all time, and while I believe it's an overall masterpiece, there are aspects of the show that I wish had been handled differently. Of the many shows that I love and consider among my favorites, Lost is the one that I've probably rewatched the most over the years. The series is incredibly fulfilling on rewatch and serves a distinct purpose for me in comfort and nostalgia.
Kate is driven almost entirely by her feelings in romances with Jack and Sawyer, resulting in her being one of the most consistently immature and irrational characters throughout the series. She doesn't really ever have her own motives or objectives following the death of the US Marshal in season 1 and remains in the series as a plot device adjacent to other characters. This could be justified if her character had grown toward the end, but there's no tangible arc for Kate.
The problem with Michael is that, like Kate, he often only exists adjacent to other characters in the series. Michael is there to be Walt's father, which means he's always going to be facing some conflict with little focus on his own personality. Because Walt was written off the show so early, Michael's story was rushed to coincide. Then, his return in season 4 was squished because of the shortened season.
1 Abaddon seems to be an agent for Widmore, but his most mysterious acts include things like steering John Locke toward finding the island, which seems to align more with Jacob. This seems to just be an instance of poor planning, as there were moments when Charles Widmore's role in the Lost end game seemed bigger than it actually ended up being.
Sayid and Nadia's narrative has many elements in common with Desmond and Penny, except I don't find their chemistry to be as gripping. This is, of course, due to the nature of their relationship, but it seems like Sayid and Nadia were a failed experiment that the writers rectified with a later romance, even incorporating the use of a photograph to symbolize long-lost love. However, I think ignoring this entirely in the finale was a mistake.
