And you have to have the "down time" (or character development) for the audience to understand the exciting/good stuff. For example, how much could we understand about Hurley and the numbers if we'd never seen the episodes that explained where he got he numbers to win the lottery and how he came to have a superstition about the numbers being unlucky.
