Just started season 6.
Season 5 is clearly the worst right?

Sawyer and crew spent 3 years with Dharma a significantly longer amount of time then with the plane survivors so realistically thats their people. Only Jin has a reason for being more loyal to the crash survivors because of Sun.

Kate was really only with Sawyer for a few weeks yet spent years with Jack and all of a sudden the show treats their relationship like they were madly in love.

Sawyers the man for getting 3 of the best looking girls on the show.

God damnit why is John Locke still alive… I keep cheering that hes dead yet another fake out death.

Annoying that Sawyer doesnt understand that if Jack and co. didnt come back the time skips wouldnt have ended and they would all be dead.

Desmond is the best character on the show, I just wanted him to be happy with Penny yet he gets dragged back in, just let him live and be happy!!!

Richard is the man, guys cool as a cucumber

Currently watching my way through Desmond-centric and Desmond-heavy episodes. He’s my favorite character and, to me, the most important on the show. So I wanted to follow his journey more closely! After this I’m diving into Lost: Circle to completely rewire my brain lol.

Anyone else ever do a specific character-focused rewatch? Learn anything new?

Starting Lost this week, just wondering if there are any filler episodes in the early seasons. Because I didn't expect 25 episodes in season 1. Again, no spoilers, thank you.

On my umpteenth rewatch, and I just got to Charlotte's death. It got me thinking.

I'm fully aware that basically the entirety of the show, and especially the events of season 5, ultimately serve the purpose of fulfilling a perpetual time loop and placing our main characters into their cosmically ordained positions in order to bring about the events at the end of the show. Everything that happens was always meant to happen, and everyone has their role according to Jacob's/the island's grand plan (for sake of convenience I will just say "the island's" going forward).

But watching Charlotte join the cast, not do anything consequential towards the island's plan, and then die and get lost to the flashes, made me wonder what exactly her role truly was in the grand scheme of things.

Obviously, her death is what motivates Daniel to change his views on time travel, setting him on the path to get killed by Eloise, and setting the group on the path to detonating the bomb at the Swan. Two of the most major points of the plan, caused by Daniel's desire to change the future and maybe reverse Charlotte's death.

But my question is: is that it? Her entire role was to die and be the motivation for a more important character? Please, if you have more insight or a different perspective, or any points that I missed, I would love to read them. But to me, it seems like a textbook case of fridging.

This is nothing against the writers, and absolutely nothing against Charlotte or Rebecca Mader. I love them both to death, I greatly enjoyed having her character in the show. I want to make it clear that I'm talking about her role in the island's plan, not her role in the story.

Anyway, this train of thought has led me down an interesting rabbit hole that I will explore more deeply in a follow-up post. Expect big things in the coming days.

First time doing a pumpkin carving that was more complex than a normal jack-o-lantern and it turned out great I think! A couple pieces fell off but don’t tell anyone.
I carved it with my girlfriend who is binging it for the first time and is currently on the season one finale. Can’t wait for her to find out what this is😆
