In a show full of awful people, I think Anthony Cooper is the worst by far.

Both of these episodes also feature some bizarre plot inconsistencies that don't jibe with Sayid and Claire in season 1. In "Whatever the Case May Be" Sayid enlists Shannon's help in translating Rosseau's notes because he doesn't know French. Yet in "Enter 77" we are shown that he spent time in Paris as a cook. I

Both of these are pretty strong episodes. I found Sayid's flashback somewhat unnecessary, we already understand his regret for his past actions and his desire for redemption. This was basically just hammering the point home redundantly. The ping-pong game was inconsequential but still had a few good jokes.

"Across the Sea" always seemed to be reviled by the majority of the fanbase, but I never really hated it. I was more disappointed than anything. It was supposed to be mythological and the key to everything for the show, but besides the (dumb) reveal of who Adam and Eve were was anything substantial really answered?

Like "Tricia Tanaka", "Expose" is another episode that only gets better with age.

Fire + Water has more redeeming qualities than this episode, I think. What are the other real candidates? "Whatever the Case May Be" and "Collision" are more mediocre than bad. Season 6 has "What Kate Does", "The Package", and "Across the Sea" but those episodes are still at least marginally entertaining. The only

I still don't know what the third answered mystery was supposed to be. I will give them finding out what happened to Cindy and other Tailies and (ugh) the origin of Jack's tattoos. But what was the other one of the 'biggest' mysteries they answered?

There is some pretty legendary Jackface in this episode. "One of Them" still has my personal favorite:

NEXT WEEK ON LOST: THE ANSWERS TO THREE OF LOST'S BIGGEST MYSTERIES

"Stranger in a Strange Land" is offensively bad. A C- is generous, in my opinion. I was actually really happy when the episode ended. The characters were all back on the island, the ending theme was great, and I knew I would never see a worse LOST episode than the one I just watched.

I hope by season 10 or 11 you are instead posting inexplicably positive reviews of terrible episodes.

It gets worse. After the episode was over, my girlfriend greeted me in the bedroom wearing Valentine's themed lingerie. An excellent night to be stoned. Unfortunately, my friend did not get lucky like I did.

I'm not referring to Jack's season 6 arc (which I thought was wonderful) but rather to the central mysteries to the island being explained through some hand-wavy Jacob/Man in Black glowy light mumbo jumbo. The Man in Black definitely strikes me as a man of science, I would have loved to know his thoughts of what the

I liked Charlie's character and his arc a whole lot better after his death. The flashes were just the shot in the arm his story needed and him and Desmond were great together.

They both have their charms. LOST and sex at the same time, though… This will require more research.

That was my one of my peeves with the final season. I'm okay with having some magic or mysticism, but where the hell was the man of science?

February 14th, 2007. I remember it well. My roommate and I had just smoked weed with our respective dates after dinner, and I was the only one who wanted to watch the new episode of LOST. My girlfriend (later wife) wasn't into LOST at the time and went to go do homework or something silly instead of watching with

Could have been a classic if they didn't try to make a love quandrangle between Harper, Goodwin, Juliet, and Ben. Weakest part of season 4 to me. If the entire focus of the flashback had been on Ben and Juliet's relationship without the Others (huh) it would have been soooo much better. It was dramatic enough

He was going through some stuff.

He mentioned that he worked for a "great man". More than likely referring to himself. Ben is pretty self-serving and egotistical.
