This is how I feel as well.Golden wrote:The first half of season 3 was lost at its worst... But arguably the second half of season 3 and season 4 were its peak. A lot of people gave up early in season three and I don't blame them, but I think it's still well worth persevering through.Ricochet wrote:Lost didn't exactly fizzle out, but it derailed out of the fucking orbit of logic, narrative and any cinematic sensibilities and just got too addicted to a never-gonna-tell-ya style of mystery, mythology, murders and mindfarks. That's why I'm saying it became painful after the first 2 seasons, not after 5.
I understand the objection to season 6. I don't agree, but I do understand why it's divisive.
That stretch from Left Behind to Through The Looking Glass is some of the best television out there. I found the worst parts of the show is when it became too enamored in its genre-- Mid-Late season two through early season three. There are a few exceptions, but in general, those episodes showed the weaknesses in the set up of the show.
I truly didn't mind not having every answer (or even close to all of them). The thing that bothered me most was Walt and his lack of resolution-- and that Nadia was fucked over in the afterlife.
