LOL ok fair point Avenger. But then you can't say shit either, where is your proof that certain elements are not planned, they write 'on the spot' ey? lol everyone is quilty of this 'i read/heard/think because of...' bullshit.
Avenger, you said
......Also I love this show but if you are idiotic enough to believe that the character connections and story arcs were planned from the beginning you are more stupid than I thought . They make it up as they go along!
In response........
"In an address to "Casa del Cinema di Roma" in Italy,
Damon Lindelof announced that he and
JJ Abrams had initially conceived the LOST story-arc in 4 seasons. If ABC were to continue with Lost for a 5th season, both Lindelof and Abrams would possibly leave.

- So there you have it, what I said is valid. In that planned 4 season arc, they have what will happen, who with and what it all means - as an initial idea, which is the opposite to what you think. That is a pre-planned big idea/plan, ok. Think its safe to assume that ideas and devices to tell the story of lost and its characters do have a core-plan, but like most things, they can/may get altered on the way.
I have also read certain elements and pieces are changed/made as they go along. What was trying to suggest, and will now is that there is a definate core story that the creators have in mind. With all the money and focus the show has, I doubt the network/production companies would be very content with such a high-profile show being a work of ideas and plans that are decided on the day of shooting on on the spot. Not to mention the obvious logistical and practical reasons of filming locations and what not.
