      I would guess that the answers to many of the questions will be found among the Others so that's where the story needs to focus. None of the Lostie beach scenes this season have advanced the current story line or taken us in a new direction [] I'd rather see the show move forward with the Others than putter around with the Losties.
  2. (fandom slang) A fan of the television drama Lost.
