Flash Sideways

So in the Flash sideways where the plane didn’t crash and we saw all their lives, were they all just dead and it was purgatory? I just watched the series for the 3rd time and I still am baffled.

Was Horace in Locke's dream the MIB?

In Cabin Fever, he's been dead 12 years and MIB knows about the cabin and presumably the DI bodies in the mass grave as well. On the other hand, Locke has dreams and visions involving Losties (Boone, etc) who are unlikely to be the MIB. Since MIB seems relatively shortsighted and typically manipulates people for a specific, imminent purpose (Jack finding fresh water, trying to poke Jacob), I feel like he's probably not appearing as Horace but I'm curious on theories.

Shannon - Inhaler = Dead Shannon

Bit of a specific throwback - Do you think that the show got across to the audience the severity of Shannon not having her inhaler? As in, that there was a very real possibility that she could have died?

If you check the noscript, you'll see that, originally, it was going to be two socks: a husband and wife (Richard and Marybeth), not Boone and Shannon at the centre of the story.

Maggie Grace's acting was fantastic (IMO) throughout her struggling scenes but through all of my rewatches through all of my years, I feel like the show didn't appropriately telegraph that there was a real possibility that Shannon could die - making Jack's leap to being so okay with torturing Sawyer seem a bit out of the blue. (Of course, if his character thinks she could die, that could take him to that extreme place - but my thought here is that the show didn't get that across as much as it could have.)

Unless you know or have known someone to suffer from severe asthma, perhaps the severity doesn't come across? Personally, I had asthma inhalers as a kid but had never had an attack like Shannon's. And in movies and television, asthma inhalers are usually associated with nerds who are nervous or who ran out of breath after a short jog, so maybe I didn't process what was happening to her in the same way that another viewer with different knowledge/experiences to me would.

Since learning about Richard and Marybeth, I flip-flop between thinking that the sudden emergence of a disposable character like a sock might have given the inhaler story more urgency, myself.

Anyway, just my thought of the day. A nice light one - haha.

ethan

Why would Ben send the only surgeon away on a dangerous undercover mission like the day after he finds out he has a deadly tumor and needs surgery??? And then he lets/tells him to stay undercover with the survivors after Goodwin and the 2 unamed others get killed by the surviors?? Theres so many other people who he could get to do that plus Ethan is probably the worst person to send if you want them to not raise suspicion as Ethan is the most dodgy looking guy on the whole island I reckon the survior group would've figured out he wasent on the plane even if Hurley didnt find the manifest he just looks that off putting

FTW; Loosing my interest

I never found interest in the show growing up but have found myself obsessed recently. It got to the point where i was watching it on my breaks and in every chance i got. However, while in season 5, it started to be all over the place. I loved that there was a coherent plot in the past seasons but as i'm approaching season 6, it's starting to feel like we're on a different universe, a different timeline.

Who arrived on the Island first, Desmond or Juliet?

They both say they've been on the island for three years, but beyond that I'm not sure about the timeline.

First time watching episode 20 season 1

Just finished watching episode 20 and boone's death really made me cry , watched a bunch of shows but this really made me cry so bad , boone was literally my favourite character. This is the first time i cried watching a show , maybe its because of age as i am in mid twenties now
My man it really hit me bad

If I were to rewatch just one season, which should it be?

I've watched and rewatched every episode in order and randomly. I've watched Chronologically Lost. I'm just interested in watching one season in order, and wonder which it should be.

What do you think were the best and worst decisions and actions that Jack made as the leader of the survivors?

I always thought that the best thing Jack ever did for the Losties was give the ‘Live Together, Die Alone’ speech. Literally nearly everyone listened to him and took that as their guiding principle. If there hadn’t been that collective mentality that he inspired and people hadn’t started to look out for each other (to a certain point), definitely more people would have died.

Also Jack’s S3 finale plan was pretty much genius if a bit risky. And for the most part, it does work out if it hadn’t been for Charlie’s death and obviously that it was Not Penny’s Boat. None of which is Jack’s fault.

In contrast, the S2 finale plan was well dodgy and it was very irresponsible to lead Hurley, Kate and Sawyer into a trap without warning them. To be fair, it was actually Sayid’s plan, an unusual lapse of judgement, but I think Jack’s ego in wanting to take on the Others is definitely taking priority over safety here.

I don’t know whether leading the Oceanic 6 back to the island and exploding the bomb count as really brilliant or really reckless moves. Opinions?

Life takeovers

I know yall will relate to this…..
I am currently locked in studying for midterms and without a second thought I tuned into my surrounds because I heard “YOUVE GOTTA MAKE YOUR OWN KINDA MUSIC” and now I can’t stop thinking about lost.
This has happened for ages and I’m wondering how yall can put lost thought aside to focus on real life!!! Any tips would be appreciated, I could just think for hours about that dang island !!

Old parody video I can’t find

Hi, community,

Did I dream it, or did someone once create a fake sitcom trailer of John Locke and Ben Linus, set to the theme song from Perfect Strangers?

It was phenomenal.
