What in the philadelphia flying fuck ever happened to a lot of back stories. We know more about characters who are dead and/or gone (Michael, Ana Lucia, Eko) than we do about the vast majority of the characters that kept me interested through the first and second seasons.
The short answer is those characters didn't have as good major plot hooks and, presumably, didn't have the same amount of audience interest as the people we seem to be seeing week after week. One of the first season's greatest assets was the balance between all of the characters. This season in particular seems to have sent that idea packing.
