Wait, you think LOST is a horrible show?

I watched lost for the first season and a half.....and i never looked back....lol, i do watch heroes and i just finished explaining why i do and why i complain about it in one of the threads....here in Flash Forward is a premise i seem interested in, but the execution of it....is not to my liking.
The problem I find is that if one flashforward doesn't happen due to variable attributes (I.E. death), then how credible are these visions really? That will remove the question of whether or not the flashforwards are absolute; which I find essential to the show's dynamic. The audience will only be left with watching how and why everyone blacked out.
With that said, I am still convinced that John Cho is one of the masked gunmen in Benford's vision. And I must reiterate from a previous post that Benford's wife is absolutely delectable.
My theory on the Senator and the President both having Flashforward's where they are the President. They Don't. She is the President and he is the former President(Impeached) most likely. Former Presidents are called Mr. President for the rest of their lives as far as I know. Especially by their security (I think that is who woke him up.)
The show is really let down by characters who aren't particularly interesting; they're stock cardboard cut outs who feel like afterthoughts in an intriguing but on second thoughts, unworkable scenario.
And they still haven't got the knack for using music in effective ways, i.e. Benford chasing the masked kids, the gunfight in the underground carpark, even the Bjork track was ultimately a waste as it tied so closely to what became a bogus and ill managed subplot.
