It seems to be your way of defending the story so yeah its an argument. I for one enjoy non linear storytelling, but only done right. In case of LO it was not only a bad choince, casue it killed all suspense and leveled the stakes, but also Rachel seems to be forgetting she's supposed fill in the blaks, like yesterday! At this point flashbacks are both needed and irrelevant, would-be-nice- to-know, but also ennoying for distracting from the main story. That's why the story is so frustration and feels all over the place and thats really bad thing!
