Just finished the show for the first time and have to ask...
As someone who was on tumblr for a while and experienced the SuperWhoLock insanity, what was it like for those who followed Lost in real time? Were there lots of fanfics being written? Did any of the male characters become people's hyperfixation? I can absolutely see Sawyer becoming someone's fave and having lots of flower crown edits. Were there ship wars? I want to knooooow!

Man of Faith or Man of Science?
>!Just made a huge connection regarding how they got to the island. I've already finished the show but I was just theorizing. It's told that Jacob brought them there through his touch but we also find out later that their plane crashed because of Desmond. Desmond is also only there because of the incident caused by our survivors. Maybe there's a difference between these two events but I like to view it as a question. Are you a man of faith that believes that Jacob brought these people here for a reason, or do you think that they caused themselves to crash there due to science(time travel)!<

Some reflections on a second viewing of the entire series
I saw it with much more attention to details, symbolism and analysis. I share reflections I had.
- The father/son relationship runs through all the characters. But not only from the absence but from the toxic relationship and emotional scars. There is a permanent feeling of revenge versus forgiveness against each parent.
- Kate and Jack could not and should not be together. When they manage to leave the island, they have a life together ruined by Jack's obsession with returning. They were always in all cases and scenarios a couple without a future.
- Jacob was a villain, much worse than black smoke. The obsession with believing himself to be a protector caused Jacob to manipulate and play with many people for decades, in Richard's case for centuries. The Black Smoke suffered his hatred in a more direct and sincere way. He wanted to leave and they always denied him.
- Jack's son who appears in the series is a representation of his permanent search for conflict and unresolved paternity. In real and parallel life he continues to carry a weight on his being that he cannot resolve.

I have several episodes left. Enjoyed it but I've given up on keeping track of timeliness and story lines.
Season 4 almost quit watching as I couldn't keep track of all the back and forth.
It's the characters that drive this show.
I'm just enjoying the character development. I cant keep up with who's where and why.

I just saw today as I am doing my rewatch that Lost is leaving Netflix soon. This makes me sad because I do a yearly rewatch and it has been on Netflix forever.

"Across the Sea" after "The Substitute?"
To start, I understand all the arguments for showing a newcomer the series in its original episodic order and respecting authorial intent. Putting that aside for a moment:
I've been taking my parents and my partner through Lost all this past year, and looking ahead to season six, I'm thinking about Across the Sea. I never got the complaints some have with it. I think it's a very satisfying parable and lore dump. But I do jibe to the arguments that its original placement as the third-to-last episode of the series is very strange, and less than optimal.
I think season six probably works better if you have the additional clarity and character motivation this episode brings filled in earlier; I don't see much reason to keep some of this stuff in the dark until such a late date.
I've heard of some people (Down the Hatch podcast) slotting it in at the top of season six, but that doesn't feel quite right to me either. It's too much of a speedbump between The Incident and LAX, and I also don't want to spoil the >!MiB == Smokey!< reveal, which I think is more dramatic if it comes about as it does in the series' intention.
Having reviewed the episode summaries on Lostpedia, I'm considering that the optimal place to stick it might be between 6x04 The Substitute and 6x05 Lighthouse. 6x04 gives us the scenes of Flocke being haunted/unnerved by a certain young blonde-haired specter, as well as him removing the white rock from Jacob's scale and casting it into the sea, telling Sawyer the colored rocks are an "inside joke" between him and Jacob. I think both of these elements work as elegant setups to Across the Sea's deeper dive into their relationship and the white/black rocks Jacob buries with "Adam and Eve."
We're also past the initial narrative hustle of the season finale/season opener and settling into the regular flow of the season at this point, so it is perhaps more appropriate to take a bit of a breather here and get a mythology dump. Likewise, removing Across the Sea from its spot between The Candidate and What the Died For keeps a fairly breathless pace as we head into the climax.
Am I overlooking any major issues with things getting spoiled or any reasons why this is actually a dumb idea? The only thing I can think of it it might very slightly diminish Jacob's "wine bottle" conversation with Richard in Ab Aeterno, but that seems a small trade-off.

Ive been watching 'Lost on The Couch' a lot recently and they got off the couch and studied the hatch diagram. I think this is my most favorite scene from the entire show. It filled me with wonder and intrigue and I was completely hooked from that point on. Anyone else feel the same?
