That's why it's so hard to choose, yet so fun to try. "Moving On", I never get sick of hearing. It could definitely be considered a death theme for Jack, yet it has much in the way of hope in it as well. I believe you hear elements of "Life and Death", "Hurley's Handouts", and "There's No Place Like Home" in the

Since the mobisodes are so short, this ranking is fluid, but you did make some good arguments for their impact.

After watching the Season 4 bonus discs again, I thought it might be fun to rank the mobisodes. There's not a lot to go into since they were so short, but I still find them enjoyable to watch.

Yeah, it's definitely a double meaning as you noted, but the "case" of who Kate is is more interesting to me than what's in the Halliburton case. After all, it's almost seven years later and we're still talking about the many facets of her character.

As always, you make some great points about these titles. I suspected that Fire + Water had a deeper meaning but I wasn't aware of that reference; thanks for the info. Good explanation on Eggtown as well.

I can't take the credit for this; there's a YouTube user who has themes for the individual characters and pairings. It also comes from watching the show with a different POV, and noticing the little details that stand out. There are certain pieces like a couple mentioned above that I've gained a new appreciation for

We've talked a little bit about the standout soundtrack of this show. Michael Giacchino, to his credit, not only brought the action to life but did an amazing job of bringing a particular sound to each character as well. Before Lost, I don't recall TV characters having a theme for themselves, but now it seems like

I'd say about 95% of the episode titles fit the story in some way, but for this list, I'm going to go the opposite way…the five worst titles in the show's history. This is not to say that they're bad, just that they didn't really fit in the big picture like so many of the others…

When I watched this scene again, that, combined with the other Ben moments of this episode, convinced me that this is the point where Ben and Locke had kind of switched places. Ben is not a part of the castaways' group yet, but this simple gesture from Hurley is like a peace offering from Ben's POV. Meanwhile, Locke

I think Jack may realize, like Hurley, that their happiness is going to be short-lived, but Jack's just been in denial while Hurley is coming to terms with it. It's pretty depressing to watch, but it's a realization for us that neither of them is whole right now because they're not on the Island.

Your thoughts about settling in to life at the Barracks reminds me a lot of the beginning of the series. Hurley and Claire, despite their otherwise optimistic view, don't seem to expect rescue and settle in to life on the Island. Sawyer, of course, takes to it quite well, building up his stash and enjoying his books

This is a perfect summary of living in Locke's camp. Starting things out by lying and keeping secrets, Locke trying to impose his will on everyone, and a complete lack of trust all around. We can certainly understand why Kate has no use for this…she's been going her own way for a long time.

Well, logically, there's no way a reset should work, of course. Jack won't meet Kate, and they won't go to the Island. But from Jack's POV, if it happened once before, it'll happen again. He's all in on the destiny.

Thinking back on all the Sun/Jin flashbacks so far, it seems that by this point in their marriage that Jin probably was working for Mr. Paik directly. In Season 3, Jin's mother sat down next to Sun and pointed out their marriage in the newspaper, which would indicate that they had recently been wed, and then she

Re: Kate trying to reconnect with Jack, I'm talking Season 6 as a whole, even going back to Season 5. If Jack was willing to reset time to get another shot with her, there's no doubt he was still in love with Kate. Her reaction to that plan showed how much he meant to Kate as well. And while I hated seeing them

"I don't think Kate is only about getting rescued, though. There's a real bond between her and Jack, as troubled and conflicted as it is sometimes. She wants constancy, which is why it is so heartbreaking in "The End" when Jack tells her that he has basically screwed up *everything* except the Island. Either he's

After watching The Constant the other night, I found myself thinking that I would be interested in knowing more about Sayid and Desmond, two people who are well traveled (and Kate could be thrown in the mix as well).

Here's a link to another video that I think you should check out if you haven't already. I watched it after the series finale and it's a nice capper to close things out for the rewatch.

Here's one of those random topics to think on, @avclub-387212ba9644c8b7f3d7178512148235:disqus…

The Economist: @disqus_OFNxC5yeAi:disqus already covered this one pretty well, but I did have one new thought about the confrontation at Ben's house.
