I have seen "I Do" more than any other LOST episode. I probably watched it over half a dozen times waiting for that damn hiatus to end plus all my other LOST rewatches. So while I enjoy it and believe it to be the best Kate episode, it is kind of a chore to sit through now.

Richard's role seems to have been very laissez-faire. I guess Jacob may have commanded him to just let things play out and to only interfere if things got way too out of hand.

My friends and I got incredibly stoned and went to see District 9. I knew very little about it, at that time it was all word of mouth before it became insanely popular. So we went in with zero expectations and only a vague idea of the movies plotline. Minds. Fucking. Blown. I don't know if my favorite part was

They could have done really interesting things with Eko and Charlie as well. Once he realizes there is no way to save Charlie and that him dying leads to the best possible outcome, would he be willing to 'sacrifice' him and begin playing God? Loved the Desmond arc but still sometimes wish we had gotten the show that

It sounds like it originally should have been Eko in the coffin instead of Locke and later being "resurrected". I also think Desmond's visions were originally supposed to Eko's premonitions of Charlie's death. It makes sense since they were paired together so often in season 2.

I find it amusing that Sawyer was the least liked character by fans polled after the "Pilot." I loved him from the very beginning.

I think a pretty good discussion could be had about what Eko's final vision means in the context of the afterlife shown in "The End".

The vagueness of Jacob's rules and neglecting to explain why the Man in Black can't leave the island are the most frustrating aspects of the show for me. I realize that over-explaining will just give us a midochlorians answer, but telling us nothing meant there were zero stakes or danger for any of the season 6

I honestly think Darlton cast the same actor just to fuck with the fans.

You read the "Savage Love" this morning too, huh?

Funnily enough, now that I think about it maybe the Kate-centric episode "Left Behind" marks the true turning point for his character. That and a certain Locke-centric episode from this season…

That's basically how it always seemed to me. Eko refused to confess and atone for his sins and thus renounced his candidacy, making him fair game for the Man in Black to remove from the chessboard.

These are both pretty solid episodes. "Every Man for Himself" is definitely the bridge between the Sawyer from "The Long Con" to the man that becomes "Lafleur."

My favorite C&H strip of all time is the one where Calvin builds a line of snowmen that salute the Dad as he walks to his car for work. Thought bubble: "He knows I hate this…"

They tried to make it that Sawyer's love for Kate compromised his usual shrewdness and ability to read a situation. I'm not sure the writers quite pulled that off, though.

"Further Instructions" is worthwhile for what it sets up for plotlines
the rest of the season and Locke's overall character arc, but still
probably one of the ten or fifteen worst episodes the show would ever
produce.

Her performance in the season 4 finale is gut-wrenching. You all know what I'm talking about.

My name's Buck and I like to :Television edit: party.

Yep, Pickett is Uncle Jack. I had no idea that was him when I watched Breaking Bad though, he slimmed down a bunch.

I am willing to go to bat for "Every Man for Himself" and "I Do" being underrated gems, but these two episodes are pretty indefensible and only saved by the formidable acting talents of Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn.
