If you do take a good in depth look at it, the timeline and the story lines are very complex, and there have been set-ups for an event many episodes, sometimes even season(s) before the actual occurrence. Although, some parts do stretch on credibility (such as the timeline of Michael & Tom). They definitely, to a good extent, have things planned out.

Again, I gotta point to their line about not knowing who Ben was going to be when he first turned up.
"There will be no Time travel"
... Well. What's that then? Wizards?
There are a whole lot more examples than that obviously, but this is either the most schizophrenic Xanatos roulette I've seen since Emperor Palpatine, or they are the masters of Plan B.
Not that it would be a bad thing, but I sincerely doubt they've had every episode planned since day one, especially after they were told to drag it out for Seven Seasons.

Ugh, please do not even mention that show around me.
I absolutely became obsessed after a friend got me the DVD's as a gift and then was totally crushed by how crappy the second season was. "-_-
What a total mess of a show.
Seriously when I compare the two, Lost definitely looks ALOT more thought and planned out, but I do agree there are story lines which I think should be further explored even though they have been dropped, ie. Sawyer's daughter, Nikki and Paulo, Jack's Tattoo's, Rose and what'shisname, Rousseau's past and flashbacks, etc. etc.
Eh, I don't find the show as addictive as it used to be though. Maybe that's because I actually recognise most of the places where they filmed since I did live on the same island for a period of time . But I highly doubt that's the main reason.

And seriously now, after seeing the 'Jughead' I just want to know what on earth is going on because the writers still havent even answered the whole four toed statue thing...

A new theory about it, based off of a very, very minor spoiler from season 5, episode 2, The Lie:

A while ago Desmond was traveling through time, and he was told by Faraday (I think) that he needs to find a constant - a person or thing that is familiar to him in both time zones. He eventually finds Penny as his constant and is saved from his nose-bleeding-to-death condition.
Although I personally don't think that's the problem with Charlotte, as nobody else in her group is having the same problem. I think that she might be experiencing similar symptoms to the girl Faraday left behind (the one that's all hooked up to tubes and UV drips).
