Discussion Which Female would you say had the best backstory and who had the worst backstory?
Kate’s was the best for me. Loved how we found out she was the fugitive on the Plane and the whole Mystery of wondering what she did and then finally finding out about it then continuing on with her Connection to Sawyer by knowing Cassidy mixed with of course her love story with her Childhood Friend Tom. Say what you want about Kate but I did love learning more about her as the Show went on. The worst would be a tie between Shannon and Libby just cause Libby really didn’t have a flashback we just knew she knew Hugo from Santa Rosa and then Shannon only had one episode to tell her story and then she died so there really wasn’t much more to it then what we got.

Character Analysis Michael Emerson’s here-and-there pronunciations of “whhjy” and “whooen” elevate his acting
I don’t know how to write out the phonetics, but I hope you guys catch on what pronunciations I’m talking about.
The marking of the “wh” with a j-ey sound or a double O.
The fact that he not always pronounces like that, helps emphasize his scenes and deliveries when needing to mark his emotions or power dynamics.

Discussion Which character had your favorite character development? Spoiler
For me, it’s Sawyer. His character development throughout the show is incredible.
What about you?

Why was Jack put in love triangle traumas repetitively as it gets worse and worse?
This post is not to hate or judge any character. it's just something i genuinely don't understand after ny second rewatch.
So the first triangle between Jack, his wife Sarah and some guy she had an affair with, It ends up with him dumped and ridiculed. I thnk that was pretty much enough to get his situation and move on. But then,
gets into a love triangle with Kate and Sawyer where he looks like a safe backup plan from the get go. Then has to watch Kafe freaking out after kissing him and running back to sawyer. Watch her have sex with Sawyer at the cages. Looks awkward and redundant while they're kissing on the freighter. watch Kate lying about doing Sawyer a favor while she is engaged to him. That imho is the final straw but it goes on and on.
It gets more and more embarrassing each time and never really gets better. nd generally everytime there is a new potential love interest for Jack, they make sure she ends up with Sawyer.
What is the point of this repetitive plotline? Is it a 'who gets the chicks' joke or was there a serious plotline thst has a point? Why the backstory with his wife is not enough and gets more and more pathetic . everyone else find their true and only love why not him.
It's also a shame because he is such a deep character thst doesn't need so much romantic angle in the first place.
I wished he could be given a love story with some one else thst has lots of challenges, but not a love triangle. Someone who has the same wounds as him but has no doubts about loving him. but it was the same trauma going on again. it feels repetitive and embarrassing.

Discussion Interested in some theories about "Across the Sea"
I know this episode is supposed to be vague, and give us just enough info but to also just keep the audience guessing for themselves. I listened to the commentary of the episode and I had no idea it was so "polarizing" mentioned as a joke, but also fact. I'm curious about some takes people might have on this one.
After washing ashore, they switch up to speaking English almost immediately and seamlessly. Mother knows what language to initially speak and then it changes. Thoughts? I think maybe they continued their conversation in the first language, and the pivot to English is just for the audience, but it's also kind of weird because the scene isn't that long and we have been reading subtitles since the beginning.
Do you think Mother brought Claudia to the island to steal the baby to get a replacement? And if so, if she was so worried about the others that made it, why would she let them live, if alluded to her being the smoke.
If she was the smoke, then her power to be immortal goes with Jacob, and she says he is the same as her when drinking the cup. That doesn't make sense to me because he is not a monster afterwards, so that part of her didn't translate?
Anyways, I love this episode because it's more history. Thoughts?
QUESTION Best reaction channels?
Hi all,
I'm looking for some good reaction channels that have watched Lost, any recommendations?
Preferrably either already finished the show or currently at seasons 5 or 6.
And ones where you can tell that the reactor(s) are actually invested.
