LOST (TV series spoilers)

@jackiback suggested a new post to talk about all things LOST. 

It was spoiled for me that Sun and Jin drowned, but I was still wrecked when it happened.

It never ceased to amaze me the amount of drop dead gorgeous women on that show. Who you know would probably look phenomenal with no make up on.

Who was your favorite character?  It's such a tough question.

  • Ooh that is a tough question. I think maybe Sawyer. Although I think Hurley is a close second and of course Jack.

  • I love all things Hurley, and Desmond. Des was yummy and I loved his story line.

    This post reminds me that I really need to re-watch this series, because I totally don't remember Sun and Jin drowning. Bless you, Netflix!

  • Sun and Jin drowned in the submarine, right?

    I love Jack.  And Charlie.  I think Charlie might be my favorite.  Every time I think of the 'Not Penny's boat' scene I want to cry.

    I love how even dead characters were never really gone in this show.

  • Sawyer. Without question.

    I forgot about Sun and Jin too, but once you mentioned the submarine I kinda remember. Weren't they holding hands or hugging or something? I think I need to research on Netflix!

  • Yes, I think she was pinned to the wall or something and they couldn't get her free? Jin refused to leave her.

    @snshne322, right! Yes that submarine!
    Sawyers cons were epic! You never could tell if he was trying to take advantage of a situation or if he was genuinely trying to be a good guy. Same with Ben, but in a completely different way.

  • Oh, Ben.  He was so evil, yet... not? Misguided, maybe?

    It was fitting, but I was sad that he didn't go to the church with everyone else when they asked him to. It's like they all forgave him, but he knew he'd done too much to be truly forgiven.

  • I loved how interwoven everything in the lost universe was. It boggled my mind how the writers were able to bring in small details that seemed so insignificant at the time that ended up being so important a season or two later. I remember when we were watching the show, C and I would start theorizing about what certain things meant for days after an episode.

  • Oh gosh, I'm working at vbs today but I cannot WAIT to get home and ignore my kids soni can talk LOST ;)

    I LOVED des & penny. Of the "originals" I loved Sayid the most and thought he was bad ass and complex.

    Kate's hair became a running joke in our house. Those curly locks would have been a frizzy mess.

    It kind of pissed me off that Jin would rather let someone else raise their baby than leave Sun. I feel like Sun would have been like "um, go to our kid, idiot." Right!?!?

    The polar bear in the desert being so mysterious then finding out that when you turn the wheel (which is in a cold place, perfect for polar bears!) takes you to that exact desert melted my brain. I cannot believe that they thought that far ahead. I was in a daze for like a week after tha episode.

  • Des was so charming.  He could probably charm my pants off in about 2 minutes.  The accent doesn't hurt one bit.

  • Sawyer was definitely my favorite. His one-liners were brilliant. 

    Sun and Jin's death completely wrecked me. Yes, they died in the submarine. Sun got stuck and Jin wouldn't leave her. He was such a douche in the beginning of the show, but that made up for it. 

    But the death that killed me the most was Charlie's. "Not Penny's Boat". OMG. My friends and I still use that line to describe something that is so utterly heartbreaking that we can't find another word for it. 

    We also still randomly scream "WALT!!!!!" at the top of our lungs.

  • What were your favorite episodes? 

    I still think that one of my all time favorites is the one towards the end of the show where we FINALLY learned what the deal was with Richard Alpert. It was so out there in terms of the rest of the show but I still LOVED it. 

    When Desmond and Penny reconciled after he lost his memory? GAHHHHH

  • Oh, boy.  I barely survived Not Penny's Boat, but I loved it.  I'm trying to separate them out in my head, but it's difficult.  I loved how each episode tended to focus on a different character.  That was a really neat idea.  I did love the Hurley episodes.  I liked when Hurley and Libby remembered.

  • I loved the character stuff more than the mythology of the island. I didn't hate that stuff, but it wasn't half as interesting to me.

    I think that the episode when we met Desmond was outstanding. I also loved when we first met the others and then saw that they were just living super normally and it was like "wtf?!? What is going onnnnnn??"

    Another quote we use a lot is "light 'em up!" For a situation where we're in a lot deeper crap than we first thought... Remember feeling like "omg, how are there so many of them?!?"

    I love this show.

  • SnShne322 I still hate Michael. Whenever I see him on other shows, I curse him.

    I love Desmond. Just love. His and Penny's story was the best for me.

    One thing that I can't remember being explained.....When Hurley was in the insane asylum, wasn't Libby there too?

  • @nocturnalintimacy, yes, Libby was in the asylum with Hurley before coming to the island, but I don't think either one of them made that connection, although Hurley knew she seemed familiar for some reason.

  • I loved this show so much. I own all the dvds and usually rewatch once a year.

    I loved almost all the characters. Exceptions being Michael and I wasn't a huge Kate fan.

    I think Charlie was my absolute favorite though. Not Penny's Boat wrecked me. And Hurley's reaction to finding out about Charlie. Other top favorites were Desmond and Sayid

    I bawl at all the deaths, but the worst for me were Boone, Charlie, Juliet, and Sun and Jin.

    It upset me that Sayid's death was almost kind of hidden in the Sun/Jin death episode.
