Why does it have to be all or nothing? They don't have to do flashbacks every episode y'know?

I think they do!
But better ones, that directly relate to the story like in the old days.
Of course, they could be setting something up for later episodes, but at the time of watching, it does seem a bit pointless.

On the other hand, the Desmond 'flashback' was the first time they did an episode in a different way, and it was a great episode imo.

Also, some episodes HAVE to be filler, because with the popularity of the show, it has to run longer to make more money, so they have to flesh out the long-term storyline with initially unintended minor storylines to make the show run longer. I think the begrudgers have to accept this, and I think people who begrudge the begrudgers have to accept it too.

Yeah, but I can still criticise it if I think it's poorly written. I don't mind an episode going away from the main story arc at all. But I thought that jacks flashback in the most recent episode was just

poor. That guy is randomly angry. Honestly like, grabbing the girl like that?

Absolutely.
I've just noticed people giving out for seemingly no other reason than the lack of answers, even if the show is still well written

Also

I think his anger is supposed to be traced to his issues with his Dad, and his divorce(getting screwed around by women) so i don't think it's random anger. Or else it's just cos he's so intense maaaaan :P
