Is it better to burn out or fade away?

I love Lost. Don't get me wrong. It's maybe my favorite show that's currently on TV...maybe. Or at least second favorite.

But why, dear God, why is ABC pushing it for 3 more years?! We're already in season 3, which was better than season 2 was, but I fear nothing will top season 1.

How many more storylines can you go through? The writers have already discovered viewer-backlash when they tried to introduce new characters (see Nikki and Paolo). I feel like most unaswered questions can be wrapped up with just one more season, not three.

You're already losing viewership, but I guess ABC still likes the numbers enough for their marketing. I just hope it doesn't drop SO low that it gets cancelled and they never air the answers to any remaining questions.

I don't know if anyone else watches this show...but that's just my two cents worth.
