You could prabably condens the whole first season down to a shorter arc of them trying the get off the island. You could always try flash back sto earlier 'on island' events later on too. Dunno if it would work out well.
Can't wait to sit down and watch the latest one, just have to take care of a few things around the house first...I think the main problem of eggtown is that there was hardly anything to it, Basiclaly it was only a few minutes worth of story. and the On island stuff wasn't very interesting at all.
