I guess it all comes down to opinion. I have the opposite of yours. Rewatching SFU is like coming home. I want to crawl into a bed with the Fisher family and hang out. I get angry at them sometimes and I hate them sometimes, but in the way that they're just fully realized characters with personalities that aren't

I guess I'm technically in the "love it" camp of my feelings about this episode HOWEVER I hate the aftermath. The episode itself is a great success because it IS so harrowing and such an anomaly. But man, everything after is such a slog.

But….we wouldn't ever get to The Dinner Party.

Speaking of Hunter and his band…

Did you see the picture of the guy at the indians game wearing his clearly burned old Lebron jersey? It's my favorite sentiment, really, and says so much about the whole attitude: "I burned this, but I kept it".

Yes. My boyfriend was at the west side market at the time and the place erupted. So many high fives to strangers, evidently.

I forgave him when he won his first championship. I rooted against him SO HARD during his first finals with the Heat, and then in 2012 I saw him hoist that trophy and my hometown pride swelled and my anger and embarrassment just…melted away.

Ahhhh! Marah! You KNOW this made me all weepy.

I didn't think "That is her daughter" but I did wonder how old the "mother" was to be having two children so drastically far apart in age and also kept trying to pinpoint why all their relationships seemed so odd. So I should have known, but didn't.

Does it have something to do with her government job though? Stealing as a TSA agent from an airport….? Shrug?

That's a pretty solid summation of this guy. I didn't see Divergent, and was skeptical of him as Augustus but from the minute he opened his mouth I thought "He's perfect, this is going to be brutal". I was right on all accounts. He practically melted into that role.

Oh of course. It's not really a criticism, just that I don't really want to spend much more time in Cindy's bratty, horrendous backstories.

And Cindy is the worst, no? I've always found her prison persona amusing but jfc what an annoying hag in the real world.

Cavanagh was the most upsetting. When she fell from the stage, boyfriend said "She's dead". After seeing her fate I kind of wish she HAD died.

My favorite death (though not the cold open itself) is the actress who dies and then Shawn Hatosy and other costars snort her ashes. And he reads that poem.

Ugh, Rico, no one's interested.

There are portions of the series where I just couldn't stand Charlie. He redeemed himself in S3 but jfc I needed him to shut up and go away a lot of the time. The heroin / Aaron story arcs…just…drove…me…insane.

YES. Opening up to the Dharma Initiative is just so damn iconic and important to the rest of the series. For a long time, I considered "Lockdown" to be my favorite episode of LOST because that moment when that map appears I flew off my couch, scrambled for the remote and prayed I could pause in time.

THAT LINE. That line. That line is, like, the culmination of so many character beats that you can trace and feel All The Emotions when Jack says it.

Maybe it's because it's the first season I watched in real time, but S2 is my favorite season, if for nothing else than the Henry Gale arc being one of the most intense and terrifying things I've ever seen on network TV.
