Sun?



































Throw that bytch to the bushes, I'm mad Jin didn't off her.

She was de-emphasized heavily in later seasons (As were many characters). But overall, she was actually pretty dynamic. The actress was also competent as well, unlike Evangeline Lilly (Yeah I know she was nominated for an Emmy once but outside of ONE episode she is actually pretty bad throughout).

Sun, Jin, and Locke put Lost on their back for the first 3 seasons. Only Sawyer able to make a name for himself of the strength of his persona. Jack, Sayid, and Kate were still very useful characters.

Desmond would come through and swag surf with his flashbacks, though.

and yet another useless theory that would have the writers saying "ummm, yeah, that's what we were talking about".

This is the best show I ever watched. I watched it on netflix after it was off the air and i'm glad i did...I have no idea how I would of survived week to week waiting to see what would happen...this series was pure piff.

I think people don't like the last 2 seasons and call them failures because of the bar the first 3 seasons set. The last 2 seasons are still better than most shows.

so was it purgatory?

and what happened to curly?

the Jacob centric episode was one of the worst hours of television ever. after that i didnt give much of a shyt about the last 2 episodes, there was nothing they could do. that was the turning point

Hurly became the new leader of the island with Ben as his sidekick

That whole last season just completely fukked the show up for me

shyt went from the goat to not mentioned at all

i got misty in the finale though bc i was with the show for so long i was sad to see it go. ... but like i said earlier, the Jacob episode was the start of the end. it actually made the entire Jacob storyline kinda suck.

I legitimately haven't thought about Lost since it ended. i have them all on dvd. i was a die hard and i figured at some point id watch the entire series again, but there's almost no chance im ever gonna re-visit this show, and I'm mad I spent all that money.

All I know was that Ben from season 2-4 was the best character on TV. So fukking gully.

Cosign

I'm still pissed at how they turned dude into a irrelevant bytch the last 2 years

When Jacob ethered him with the " what about you" right before Ben killed him that was the end of the goat character in tv history

I actually haven't watched a second of it since the finale. After it ended, I felt like I had given it everything I could and haven't been up to viewing it again.

Still, don't let the dislike of the finale, or the direction the show went, dissuade you. Believe me, at its heights, Lost was a fukking fantastic program. Even in the latter seasons when it lost (no pun intended) some of its glimmer, there were still aspects of the show that hit those heights rarely seen on television. Like I said above, I personally thought that season 4 was damn well done and it definitely had one of the best episodes, of course some may disagree. If you can watch True Blood (Technically terrible, but SO damn campy and fun) or even Game of Thrones (Lovely show, but it does have pacing issues, and some storylines can be a drag), than you're not taken a step down with Lost.

My biggest concern is that you won't be able to recreate the entire FAN CULTURE that surrounded this show, which was a huge aspect of it's draw, especially towards the end when the show had lost like over half it's viewers and all the die hards who stuck around still had so many ideas. This is major, and unfortunately, unless you find some sort of online community, or a group of family/friends to watch the show with you, you won't be able to recreate this experience. On the other hand, the same thing can be said for just about any television show (It's just that THEORIZING was such a major part of Lost).

Believe me breh, Lost recaps were on a whole nother level. It wasn't just recaps, it was straight up DETECTIVE work trying to put together clues and themes to anticipate what was going to happen. Niccas didn't just seek out spoilers, we were HUNTING them. The online culture surrounding LOST was unlike anything I've ever seen, and probably won't see again for a very long time. It was brilliant. This is the aspect of the show I miss the most.

Man on the Lostpedia forums people were straight up studying quantum mechanics and astro-physics and shyt just to piece theories together. I swear there were some fantastic idea too that tied everything together. I started watching during late season 2, and he fan culture was absolutely was wild as you say. More so than any other show I can think of.

Breaking Bad has a crazy fan culture right now with detective stuff too.

The show "jumped the shark" when Ben turned that ship steering wheel and moved the island
