Lost Again Mafia (season 1) - Day 6

[Matt]

I haven't rewatched Lost in years, but all of this talk is making me want to....

Silly 6th season

Also, Zebra, I hope you do give it a shot. Fyi, I often flip flop on my feelings for the sixth season. I'm not going to go into details, but despite not liking it so much, I personally believe it picks back up in the final 4 episodes or so.

If the ending ending is good then I'll like it. I dislike the most of the second season of Twin Peaks but the very last episode is my favorite in the whole series.

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.

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.

I understand the objection to season 6. I don't agree, but I do understand why it's divisive.

This is how I feel as well.

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.

The thing that bothered me most in the after life, and during the body of the show,

Spoiler: show

actually, was Sayid & Shannon.

He had this deep intense backstory about Nadia, the love of his life. The woman he risked it all for, and whose loss drove him into a spiral of despair. The fact that he hooked up with Shannon just seemed WRONG for him when it happened, but the fact that she was his eternal true love was such a huge *W*T*F* for me. Out of all the bitter awfulness of that ending, that irked me the most. He had his eternal, deep forged-in-fire true love, and he's spending eternity with a vapid beach bunny?

A big thing for me was

Jin forgetting that he was a father in the submarine.

I agree with both of these.

I still can't bring myself to rewatch Lost, I don't think I ever will be able to. I loved the show so much while it was on, but the culmination of events in Season 6 just tainted it.
