I was pretty tired of this show amid the second season -- I think with the end of the third season they've caught their stride again, though, and acknowledging some of the inherent weirdness (Miles talking to ghosts, Faraday noting the time discrepancies) is enhancing it. I'm certain that there's a time travel aspect coming into play soon -- I'd be delighted if it ended up invalidating the flashforwards, but I don't think that'll happen, necessarily. I think the flashforwards are my favorite part, though, just because they mix up the narrative in a relatively fresh way.

I'm still wary of JJ's inability to eventually close the deal and give, well, answers instead of just more questions, but given the show's limited life span and the talent he's assembled (including Goddard and Vaughn), I'm willing to believe this time out.

And yes, I fully expect to see much more Christian Shepard.
