Sorry. I'm new at this...my first post here. Great of you to answer questions.

After reading some of the questions, I was wondering how it is that you get all of your feedback for what is and is not working on the show? I read a question here from someone asking if Kate and Jack would be together, saying that most of the people who watch Lost like them together. Well I've found just the opposite. Most people I talk to or watch the show with think that their pairing is annoying in how little heat is there and in how heavily it is being pushed despite the relative lack of chemistry (relative in comparison to say, Sawyer or Sayid).

Does that affect how you direct the show, the fan response, and if so how do you bring all the little opinions out there together?
