Well Lost isn't unique at using the flashback trick. I can think of Highlander and Forever Knight for example that used it effectively.
I don't really miss the flashbacks. Some characters coughKatecough were getting extremely dull. Maybe Kate will get a new dimension if she gets a flash forward. I mean isn't she a fugitive or is she living under another name like poor Joanna using her ID LOL!!
I still expect to see flashbacks from characters like Ben as there is more to tell. Probably more from Desmondo and Sawyers tampa job. There can really only be 6 flash forwards (well Jack is bound to get 50 FF's).
And of course like Desmondo and Juliet in previous years, we have new characters arriving so who's to say we get flashbacks for them.
Basically, I just think they have opened the flashback up to stop it from getting stale.
