sarah and jack unpopular opinion

I am currently rewatching this on Netflix & I dont know if its because I am older or what, but when I was younger, I always thought Sarah was awful, but looking back, I actually dont hate her as much as I did. Jack was an awful partner, & was lusting after someone else. He was also obsessive yet emotionally distant & expected too much of her. Idk, I kind of see why she did what she did, as much as I dont agree with cheating.

why “…In Translation” is my favorite LOST episode

so I’ve been judged a lot for this opinion…so I’m doing this.

as a Korean American, I first saw Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) and wanted to LOVE him and Sun (Yunjin Kim). But…he was just a walking stereotype. Xenophobic, traditional, abusive, and his wife was no better. Sun was also a stereotype, one of a timid Asian woman. I hated that the show did this. Then “…in Translation” came around - the first and only Jin-centric episode. I loved this. It shows how there IS complexity to one of like five ethnic castaways, it’s a rich and emotional depiction of the tragic life of Jin-Soo Kwon. It shows his struggles, working for Sun’s father and not being able to communicate with his fellow survivors (like me and my relatives, save the few that speak English). I love Jin because he changed Asian-Americans in Western television in one episode.

Unofficial Lost songs

What are some songs that seem like they could be about Lost even if they're not?
I have 2: Spoon "The Mystery Zone" with lines like "you weren't there but you were" and "times we met, before we met." And Yeah Yeah Yeahs "Gold Lion" ("gold lion's gonna tell me where the light is")

Ben Silver tongue

Watching through the whole series it is hilarious how Ben keeps getting into all sorts of troubles only to then talk himself right out of it.

Michael Emerson was amazing in his portrayal of how devious manipulative Ben can be to make it more believable, still after a few instances it just became cliche and tedious to watch him do the most outrageous things over and over again, getting into the most dire situations, and still every time end up scot free and come out on top, somehow.

While Ben is instrumental to this shows over arching storyline, would have been nice if the writers were a bit more creative with the plots, so it doesn't come across like Ben has some sort of supernatural super human persuasive power.

Jack episode 1-5

Bro is an absolute chad the first 5 episodes, a bit of a tsundere but he’s mad dependable compared to 90% of the cast

Question about Claire and flash sideways

So first time we see Claire in the flash sideways, she gets hijacked in the taxi with Kate and later on gives birth to Aaron. But on a later episode, we see that she's still pregnant and got to meet Jack.

I'm confused. Do they have their own versions of the flash sideways? Or am I missing something ? Thanks in advance.

Can anyone confirm or deny this about the Black Rock's first mate?

Just saw the next comment on another post. OP seemed informed but I have never heard of this, nor can I find any source confirming it. I mean, where the ledger washed up is well-documented but the rest may be part of the ARG, no idea. Hope you guys can shed some light:

>The journal is that of the first mate of the Black Rock and went with him to the island. He wrote in it until he died on the island.

>It didn't wash up on Ile Sante-Marie. It was found in the possession of pirates on Ile Sante-Marie. So presumably the pirates got close to the island or even landed on it at some point, found the journal and Tovard got it from them.

Looking back on interactions know future plot points

Adding a tag for those that haven't seen the whole series yet. Does anyone else during their rewatches go back and see certain characters interactions with other characters? For me it's knowing later on that Claire and Jack are brother and sister and that Aaron is his nephew. How warm and caring Jack is to Claire, and how tender he is with Aaron that make reflect on just how good this show was. Anybody have any other examples?

First watch here, two things. Lack of communication between characters pisses me off. And how does sawyer still have all his teeth !?

Who do you think deserves the noscript of the most badass character in all of Lost? For me, it’s hands down Ana Lucia
