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?

The biggest unsolved mystery of Lost
How did someone as ruthless and cunning as Widmore go from hiring super badasses such as Keamy and Omar in Season 4 to employing the likes of Zoe and Seamus in Season 6? And this at a time when the stakes were apparently higher than ever.
In fact I think the whole Widmore-subplot would have worked much better in Season 6 if he had, indeed, brought some hard-core commandos with him instead of the boring NPCs we ended up with. At the very least, this subplot would then have carried a greater sense of threat and urgency.
