downvoted because that shit sucks

Snap, America.

I agree with this about 80%, but I'm not sure you can really refer to S2 as a "happy bubble" for the characters with episodes like Anthro 101, Cooperative Calligraphy, Mixology Certification, and Asian Population Studies showing up in the season. For my taste, those all do intra-group conflict better than, say, P&B…

Oh, don't worry, I trust you wouldn't.

well that sounds like the most depressing tv episode i'll watch beginning to end

Tons of father issues. Jack is a parallel to Jeff in how he's a bit arrogant and is thrust into a leader role he doesn't necessarily want but takes to anyway and eventually becomes actually deserving of the position… Yeah, you could write an entire article out of Community/Lost parallels.

Especially in the first season, Lost is as much about a group of people coming together and connecting as Community is. After that, of course, they undermined and broke down that community in ways that Community couldn't, because of the different types of shows they were, but the shared DNA is there.

Nice. Major thumbs up for that.

Classes could also get into discussion about why, for example, the first eight episodes of season 3 don't work from a writing perspective! I honestly think it's a gold mine for high school English classes.

I maintain that Lost would be a great show to teach high schoolers how to spot and interpret symbolism, subtext, foreshadowing, etc.

Good thing "downloading something" is how I experience nearly all media!

Excellent recommendation, and one which I will follow up on.

Men of a Certain Age, RIP

Well, given it's essentially the cental conflict of the show (Jacob = faith, Man in Black = science), the show had to culminate in one side or the other losing. The irony was that Locke, who started out as the quintessential Man of Faith (in fact, the actual Man of Faith alluded to in the S2 premiere title), became…

Locke had to die pointlessly. That was the culmination of his entire arc; he put so much unfounded belief in this island that ultimately didn't have the super-duper-awesome purpose for him that he was expecting. The purpose was so much more anticlimactic (to him) because the Island needed him to die. I love the way…

I thought O'Quinn was the best part of S6, actually. Both the ambiguity of the character and his performance.

Not gonna lie, was kinda hoping you punched him because he rented Money Train.
