C'mon, that mutiny arc is amazing. Watching characters we've known and loved turn on each other was great, heart breaking drama.

Locke is a cautionary tale about blind faith. He put all his faith in the island because he had nothing else, because everyone in his life has used and abused him. He follows the smoke monster and does everything he says regardless of who it hurts because he NEEDS to believe in something, anything. Compare that to Eko…
My suggestion is getting your hands on the best weed possible before rewatching.
HURLEY: When you saw me earlier, did I have a slipper with me?
ME ON THE COUCH: Teheheheheahahahah shut up Hurley.
That's an explanation I just don't buy and could have easily been solved by having ANYONE other than Ben actually be the one to take her child from her. Or they could have paid attention when she said "I never saw them" but hey, maybe its cause it was dark? Weak sauce.
Right, there's no quicker way to tell an actual LOST watcher from a phoney trying to jump on the hate train then them insisting "they were dead the whole time."
Oh, I got another one: Instead of making childhood Ben conveniently forget about Sayid shooting him and seeing the other castaways years before they crashed on the island…maybe make it so Ben DIDN'T forget, and this whole time he's KNOWN that Jack and co. will go back in time to when he was a kid? It doesn't…
What if the Smoke Monster couldn't kill the castaways because he knew they had to survive long enough to travel back in time and put in motion the events that would lead to its victory?
If we get angry its because we know how good the show could be. That first season…that season three finale…that "You changed the rules" moment in season four…this show could play us like a fiddle. We're not mad LOST, we're just…disappointed. We know you could have done better.
I wish I could link to it, but there's an in depth behind the scenes retrospective that clearly illustrates that whenever they tried to veer into sci fi territory, ABC was there to fight them on it. They didn't even want those creepy whispers in season one. So we have showrunners who are trying to tell a story and set…
I think people say "they were dead the whole time" because actually explaining that the show was flashing forward to after they were dead is way too complicated to explain. Like, if the light on the island went out did that mean heaven wouldn't exist so that's what the stakes were or what the fuck is happening.
Eeeehhh the rest of the season has its problems too…why do we spend an entire episode building up this "Sheriff" character who then…never appears again, yet a character as important as Richard just kind of hangs out in the background with no real introduction? And maybe its just a consequence of imagining being better…
You'd be surprised. Rewatching it you're free of the constant "WHAT'S HAPPENING OH MY GOD" and can just enjoy episodes like Hurley and the magic bus. Of course it gets fucking silly when you know everything. "Wait, Ben kidnapped Rousseu's kid and she SAW HIS FACE but yet years later when she captures her child's…
I'd finish it. Once you stop letting the big question of "what the fuck is actually going on" get in the way, you can enjoy it a lot more, trust me. Season three and four have the best finales, season five has fun time travel shenanigans and season six, while flawed, has that nifty "what would have happened if the…
It was fun schlock, and frankly most shows, especially these days, would kill to have just ONE of Lost's characters. Jack, Kate, Locke, Sawyer, Sayid, Charlie, Hurley, Jin and Sun…most shows are lucky to have half a talented cast. These days they cast by whoever looks good on the billboard I guess…
Season three made the frankly stupid decision to split its season up in…six episodes and then…the rest? And those six episodes…ho boy…Kate doesn't do taco night? Ben killing bunnies? Eko being killed because the actor wanted to leave, not for any satisfying story reasons? That utterly, completely, ASTOUNDINGLY stupid…
"The streaming sites" make a profit every time you visit them so thanks for ensuring people who had nothing to do with creating said product make a profit while the people who actually create the things you watch…don't. It's simple friend, if you want something, pay for it. The end. Instead you whine about how it…
Nope, I'm just an employee who helps create the entertainment you steal, so you're welcome for the free tv shows. I'm also an adult who pays for things instead of a child who feels entitled to things they didn't pay for. Please grow up, for the love of God Almighty.
It's like commenting on an article about Wendy's bragging about how you've never paid for one of their meals. C'mon man, you're an adult, be a big boy, pay for something if you want it. If you can't, well, at least admit taking something without paying for it is stealing. And at least don't be so…casually open about…
And people like you are why there's less money to go around and low level hard working crew members are paid less, so thanks for that! Enjoy your entertainment that springs up magically from the ground apparently!
Without GAME OF THRONES I wouldn't have anything to talk about at work.
