Lost is great storytelling, great writing, great acting, and great television. Those that are irritated by the flashbacks are missing a lot of important layers to the story. Letting the characters reveal what they're about in a flashback has much more dramatic punch, and makes them more believable, than just having them tell you, "I was a paraplegic" or "A psychic told me that danger surrounds my unborn child" or "I broke into a bank to steal a toy airplane out of a safe deposit box" or "I won the lottery using cursed numbers". The flashbacks also offer some juciy bits of information that could never believably come up otherwise, clues to the mystery of the flight, the crash, the island, the ironies, and how it's all connected, and how all the survivors paths have crossed before. It's not just a TV show; it's a jigsaw puzzle to be solved. And trying to solve it is part of the fun of the show.
