That's just the kind of evil thing I might do if it was a full game. But a bit too mean for a heist, maybe.

if this game has a mechanic where someone has to post "4 8 15 16 23 42" every 108 minutes or the game ends and everyone loses, it would be my favorite game I've ever played on this site.

4 > second half of 3 > 2 > 5 > 6 > 1 > first half of 3

So close to mine. Probably everything except not having 2 first.

And I would call 'second half of 3' everything from Tricia Tanaka on. I think that's where it turned.

What can I say? I just love everything about Season 4. It was perfect.

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

Season 4 was the only, IMO consistently good season. The rest all had parts that didn't really work. In Season 4, however, the flashforwards were awesome, the chopper crew were awesome, (although a little underserved by future seasons) hell, I even loved the boat. I honestly would have preferred a decreased episode order for most of the other seasons. I feel cutting down 4 or 5 episodes per season, maybe a bit more from the first couple, would have really helped out the show, even if we learned a bit less about the castaways. True, the meandering ways of those early seasons got us S.O.S. and Expose, but it also got us a hell of a lot more tedious repetitive character drama that filled time as we waited for either the really interesting characters to get screentime, or for the actual plot to progress.

The other Lost-based hill that I will die upon is that the final season should have had absolutely zero flashes, backwards, forwards, sideways, or otherwise. It would've allowed for the Temple to actually be interesting, (imagine if the castaways were there for 2 action-packed episodes instead of like, 5 interminable ones) for characters like Ilana to both serve a purpose and be disposed of properly instead of spontaneously exploding into irrelevance once they were no longer necessary to progress the plot, for the entire Jacob Vs. MiB plotline to be better fleshed out, and for the ending to feel like it mattered more.

Instead, they wanted a "twist".

And everyone overreacted.

The Swan Station plotline in this season was the best thing Lost ever did. I'd seriously watch a recut of the season that entirely consists of just all the footage set in the Swan. Anytime the season left the hatch, it got mediocre, give or take the Mr. Eko episodes.

(I'm still annoyed at that actor for leaving the show.)

Mr. Eko was the shit. One of my top 5 favorite characters for sure. My favorites would go something like:
1. Daniel Faraday
2. Desmond Hume
3. Mr. Eko
4. Juliet Burke
5. Richard Alpert

Put John Locke followed by Benjamin Linus at the top, drop Eko and Richard, shift Daniel and Desmond down by 2 and Juliet by 1, and you've got my list.

Once I saw the title of this game, I guessed you could say that I misplaced my self control.
