One is that we're not with our main people enough, and the other is [that people are] sick and tired of seeing redundant flashback stories. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.

the other alternative, of course, is for them to concentrate on moving the story forward with the main characters and only doing backstories that are not redundant.

most of that interview I liked...but that part I did not. they are basically admitting that they have some desire to stall and string along the series by introducing new characters that had zero relevance to seasons 1 and 2, instead of concentrating on current 'island time' events with the known Losties.

They are moving forward the storylines in the backstories. Its just that you can only introduce their primary character traits once. We already know Jack tries to be a hero, Kate is untrustworthy, Sawyer is a con-man, etc. So the future backstories of these people are never going to be as revolutionary as the first ones. However, we are continuing to learn more and more little things about them in each backstory.
