haha yeah i was like "what kate did" and "the moth"

got "he's our you" and quit realizing I wouldn't even break 10

34. got most of season 5 because they kept using the title in the dialogue "whatever happened happened" "Dead is dead" "this place is death!"

haha "he's our you" was the one i did think of too

@ 45 w 10 min left

ha i guess i give up! it took me this long to also remember 'a tale of two cities' and 'stranger in a strange land'.

i got 37.

I didn't get a single episode from Season 4!

i thought i'd do better, but my brain fails this morning. took me 18 minutes to remember "through the looking glass" was the name of S3 finale.

I just watched "Enter 77" and realized that I'd never seen it! It's the exact kind of Season 3 episode that everyone hated at the time (Nikki + Paolo! Chess matches! Ping-pong matches! Introducing the Flame simply to blow it up!), and yet I found it really satisfying for some reason. I miss the leisurely pace of the earlier episodes.

Nah that was a good one, it introduced Mikhail! And the wacky chess computer with the Marvin Candle video! (though the Sayid flashback was just ok, sort of unnecessary by that point, like a lot of the S3 flashbacks) The bad ones were the episodes with Jack/Kate/Sawyer hostage drama and the origin of Jack's tattoos. The show was treadmilling in place badly with no real end in sight. They introduced tons of Others that season (remember the Sheriff? the chick from Deadwood? Mac from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia!) for pretty much no reason, as the vast majority of them were killed in the finale or completely forgotten. Well, at least there was the Hurley bus episode.

What if the whole series is ultimately about Jack's tattoos? Wouldn't that be amazing?

I would swear off tv forever.

had no idea there were so many deleted scenes from s 4.

like this one with Sawyer and Hurley:

Any ideas on what we should name the final season thread? (or whether there should be an Anticipation thread first)

"The Island That Couldn't Slow Down"

"Everything that comes before is just progress."

^^

ha, that's a good one. though I'd prefer one that foreshadows the inevitable cawing and internet rage at the series' inevitable mystical/illogical/ambiguous ending

Or:
Rose: "It's always something with you people."

Or:
Juliet: "You want out or you want to stay here and whine about it?"

"Welcome to the Meeting, Twitchy"

Whatever happened, might have happened...

I'd prefer one that foreshadows the inevitable cawing and internet rage at the series' inevitable mystical/illogical/ambiguous ending

Lost Season 6: The Wrath of Jughead

"Welcome to the Meeting, Twitchy" gets my vote. I miss Faraday :(

The island wanted LOST SEASON SIX THREAD to happen

boom

I've been rewatching the entire series (all the mythology weighed down the show in my memory and I had forgotten just how much FUN it is to watch), and Season 5 really holds up. It's the most carefully constructed, and though the time travel loop stuff can get confusing, I love the way themes and scenes from earlier in the season come back to play in the latter part of the season. It's impressive writing.

Also, it's a bummer that most of the actors' careers have fizzled out since the show ended. Where have you gone Josh Holloway? Surely someone can find another good role for Naveen Andrews?

It's great that Season 5 handled time travel without any serious complications. And the Sawyer-Juliet episode "LaFleur" was one of the best episodes of the series. They never figured out who was shooting at them on the boats, however.

That's the one mystery they didn't solve. Maybe it serves to show that there have been people shooting at each other on that island for centuries.

When people say this is a disappointment I just don't get it . This show was a huge part of my life and I will defend it to the end

The show *really* lost its way in the fifth season finale and the final season, but I still think fondly of it. The podcast was fun.
