I'm keenly looking forward to the last season of Lost
half because I've really enjoyed the last season, (and as you say, it really is enjoyable hokum) and they could go out on a high, and half because I want to see if they really can tie everything up convincingly at the end.

I got lost on Lost
during season 3 when the focus was more on "the others" and all the initial mystery/fantasy was lost. From all I hear it picks up on the mysterious aspect in later seasons in which case I may rent some to catch up.

season three drudged along a bit, season 4 picked it up (introduced several newbies)
season 5 delved right into the mythology (jacob/island especially)
and ended on a high.
Season 6 promises a lot, *fingers crossed* it delivers

Now that sounds more like it.
It was the mythology that set it apart from anything else on TV at the time and I was gutted they tried to ground it in too much reality (cf. Phantom Menace & midi-chlorians vs. The Force).
