I think it's fair warning to erigu that if he doesn't cut the crap a Mod should be made aware of his behavior. he's obviously not interested in any sort of discussion but merely being a passive aggressive troll.

So I will be starting my LOST rematch this month. First bluRay full rematch, got the blurry set day it came out. Just didn't have enough time to devote a solid rematch timeline so Ive watched my fags thus far.
This will be about my 10th full time through the series, barring season 6. Only my 2nd rematch with season 6.
Thinking about doing a blog, making something really simple a few sentences talking about my favorite parts, pieces I wish they had gone further with and things I'm glad they dropped based on the episode. Some sort of simple structure that I can easily write out but keep short and clean so it doesn't get too drawn out.

What do you mean by present day stuff?
I'm pretty disappointed in the latter seasons of Lost. I wish they stopped making episodes after the middle of season 5. They should have just had two episodes explaining Jacob and the numbers and Walt and just ended the show mid-season. It's bittersweet to go through the entire show and love it to death and then deal with the garbage of the final season (fyi I have not finished it yet but it's been horrendous so far).
I think the first two seasons of Lost are exquisite, absolutely wonderful television. And I very much liked seasons 3 and 4. The first two seasons I just adore though.

I mean I'm probably one of the biggest fans on this site. I just don't post a lot, and after how amazingly satisfied I was without eh finale I just don't feel the need to argue with people. Otherwise you would see me in here.
I loved every bit of this show, and because of that I don't feel I need to prove it to others how good it was, because I already enjoy it enough.
I think some people need to justify their fondness for shows and films by arguing and supporting the show, and by getting into heated debates with those whom like to trash whatever the tv show or movie is.
Sure some people may not like parts of a series, and they are usually the most vocal, but the ones who have to prove to them how wrong they are probably aren't as confident in their own opinions and use their own arguments to support their owns fandom for something they may not be 100% about.
Not to say you have to think a series is perfect or love every second of it.
For me though, LOST was the greatest trip ever. I loved every second and I doubt I'll ever find a series I can be so attached too.
I've remade the blast door map across 12 16x20 pieces of canvas (with a layer of backlight paint as well as visible.) I own hurleys Season 2 backpack from the LOST auction. Have the McFarlen collections from the series, and even payed extra so my license plate on my car is LOST.
But when the show ended, and christian told jack it was time to move on, thats how I felt about the series. I hung up my online community discussions, because in the end what happened happened. Everything happened for a reason, and the relationship and journey the show and I went through together was one of the most important parts of my life.

So I don't know if anyone has really discussed this yet, but what's everyone favourite scenes in the show?
These are my top 3:
3. Jack and Locke conversation in "Exodus". Not only is it my favourite dialogue in the show, it reeks of foreshadowing. "I don't believe in destiny" "Yes you do, you just don't know it yet". I love it!
2. The final few minutes. Every time I watch it, I just sit in awe. I no longer cry like I did the first time, but I get goosebumps all over. "We've been waiting for you".
1. Jack and Locke fight. This is the greatest thing I have ever seen in my life. It was more epic than anything I have ever seen, even in a movie! "I just want you to know Jack, you died for nothing!"

It was pretty epic, and Giacchino's music helped. I don't know that I would call it the most epic thing I've ever seen, but for LOST, it was certainly very well done. Awesome final battle of a huge story always wins me over.
Still hate the commercial edit, though :lol

On repeat viewings though I would have liked for it to have been edited more smoothly. It's sorta effective when watching it for the first time on TV because you're like FUUUU
but when you watch it straight through, it's jarring to me.

and your point?
Man oh man its touchy in this thread. But yea youre right I forgot he said "about a week ago". Or "a couple of days". Either way, amazing moment. I remember the first time he DIDNT do it and I was waiting all season for him to finally talk to Jack about it.
Oh lost... the memories.

Wait a second, you havent finished the show yet, have you?
You read my post and its pretty spoilery.
Edit: O shit, I didnt realise Gque said years ago in his post.
I was wondering what the point you were trying to make was nourali. My bad
Dammit, it was .GqueB. who wrote that bit about the bar scene, not dreal. My bad. (I said correction to "your post" when quoting dream.) Well, either way I wasn't trying to be a jackass to anyone. :lol
And yeah, I read dreal's post and it was spoilery but I don't even care about spoilers after finishing season 5. Season 6 has been so underwhelming (so far) that I think I'd rather just read episode synposes for the remainder of the show.

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.

I tried to come up with a personal top 3 list, but quickly realized how weak I am :lol Instantly became overwhelmed by the avalanche of choices. It almost seems impossible to single out the scenes that made this show so special for me.

I'll cop out and refrain from explaining in detail after reading this:
big ander said:
I'll just watch the rest of the show. I'll just say that so far season 6 has been very boring. My main thoughts are: "Jesus who even cares about what their life would be like had the island never existed. Linus a teacher, Sawyer a cop, please make it stop." And Jacob died too early for my tastes. For a character that was so powerful and intriguing and mysterious, having him introduced in the last episode of season 5 (very cool), and then having him die off and having this douchebag doppelganger wearing Locke's skin parading around just pisses me off.Its best not to think about it too hard. Just throw three out that instantly come to mind otherwise you'll just get lost in it all. For me:Catalix said:
1. Jack and Sawyers convo
2. The very end of the walk about and seeing Locke stare are his wheelchair smiling. That whole ending in general was amazing. Not to mention thats one of the first times (if not the first?) that we get introduced to Lockes song.
3. Sawyer meets the real Sawyer... then kills him.
Honorable mention:
Bens "If I were one of them" speech.

Best scene was easily Locke's resurrection in the finale.
Season 1 Episode 11: All The Best Cowboys Have Daddy Issues
My favourite scene in the show is in that episode. Charlie has been strung up on a tree, left to die. Kate and Jack cut him down and Jack fruitlessly attempts to revive him. Nothing is working, the CPR hasn't helped, and Jack has resorted to pounding on Charlie's chest. Charlie is dead, and cannot be resuscitated, and when Kate realizes this she turns away from Jack, looks up at the sky and cries, and this moment hits me hard and gets me to tear up. Charlie eventually wakes up but the despair Kate felt was real and justified.

Are you talking about when he stands up? or when he remembers? Both are very special moments to me though.

That was the first episode/scene to elicit a "fuck this show" reaction from me. It could've been such a gut-punching moment of brilliance. I was all: "Fuck that was brutal. I didn't think they'd off him so early. Wait, what is that?! Why is the music beginning to swell... ugh no, they are not going there, please no. Don't do it Jack... Ah FUCK. " It's a great example of a scene that starts off brilliant and unexpected and quickly devolves into mawkish and unintentionally funny melodrama. It was completely phony and unearned. Simply awful.nourali2 said:
Wow. I had quite a different reaction. I thought it was really well done and moving. The only thing that hurt it was its obvious similarity to the scene in The Abyss. But beyond that it revealed a bit of jacks persistence and his fix everything attitude as well as beefed up the character of charlie even more.
Well, it's not like they could off a regular character so early, right?Spotless Mind said:
Oh.
Well, at least it was worth keeping so many people alive. It paid off, and the popular thinking that the "other" castaways' function was purely to be red shirts sure turned out to be grossly mistaken indeed, in retrospect.
