Just for fun: My better LOST ending ideas. (spoilers of course)
I loved LOST. But there are two big head cannon things I always think would have been better. Tell me if I'm crazy!
1. The flash alt of the final season: I LOVED the character's having to rediscover each other. It made for some powerful moments. I didn't love that the flash was indeed an afterlife kind of scenario (yes, I know they were not dead the whole time, just that the ending flashes were). I think a better alt flash would have been a branched timeline set off by Juliette setting off the bomb. The "present" would have remained the same, but as soon as someone died, or left the island, they wake up on flight 815 and make it to LA without crashing (same as the show). BUT instead of it being the afterlife, it is an ALT life, where BOTH the events of the island DID happen, but they also didn't. So as the character's find each other, they remember their entire adventure over their time on the island, how it changed them, who they loved etc. But then they are able to live their lives as changed individuals, having both personal arcs, and what they did on the island mattering.
2. The "present." First off I always thought the way John died was a mistake. They set up him mattering way too much in the show to just have him end up as the man in black, or the mythical bad guy in John's body. I thought in the end, John and Jack should have fought for the right thing to do the entire time, but in the end its JOHN who needed to stay behind and sacrifice to save the balance of good/evil on the island and Jack needed a full character arc of FINALLY letting go, not being the fixer for once, and having faith that John was there to do what he said. John's arc of course is knowing that while the island, gave him his life, and ability to walk, purpose, etc, it was ultimately leading to him giving his life right back to the island to save it. Tragic, but so much more meaningful than how his character was snuffed out.

Question I had while rewatching S4 finale
Aaron has been away from his mother Claire for a few days, and being a newborn surely can only eat breast milk. Shouldn’t this baby be starving?
Just a small detail I was thinking about. Thoughts?

Is "The Constant" technically a filler episode?
Think about it, This show starts an issue of Desmond'd mind moving across time that iit fixes withtin the episode, it is not mentioned again ever, Desmond and Penny meet in the season 4 finale,This episode is like a mini movie with tin the show but is overall very insignificant to the show's overall plot.

I can’t get over this…
When I watch the series, I understand what the show is trying to accomplished with Jack and Kate, but I don’t feel the actors had effortless physical chemistry.
Meanwhile Kate is effortless sensual chemistry with Sawyer. As actors their sexual chemistry is the most convincing on the show for me. that does not mean they were written as endgame but I can’t help but notice they must sizzle together.
Time jumps and we are meant to believe Sawyer and Juliet are this amazing stable couple but we didn’t see it transpire. It just was. What is worse is Sawyer is such a fan favourite that everyone was tired of seeing Kate choose him last so they got stoked to see him with anyone who chose him first, and forgot to ask if their romantic chemistry followed. I can understand where the story is going but the actors are too platonic in their chemistry for me. it doesn’t really scream raw.
It seems as if when this question is asked about chemistry people default to the characters and say “so and so made each other better,” when that isn’t what I’m getting at, I’m referring to what you can’t control which is physical tension. I can’t get over the fact that the strongest wasn’t found in any endgame pairing.

I think Jack and Ana understood each other more than they realised

Shannon’s step mom 👿 (the WORST human being ever)
Talk about a heartless evil c u next Tuesday!!!!! The poor girls dad dies, she’s trying to make something of her life and CLEARLY needs the proper parental guidance and support aka funding to assist her and the RICH evil stepmother just cuts her off entirely!!!! Think about her life for a second. Because of that woman’s decision to not assist her in any way she ends up dating scum bag guys and ends up using her step brother as a 🏧 !!! Now I know what the rebuttal will be! She’s an asshole and makes awful choices. I cannot defend ANY of her poor choices. I’m merely posing the question how differently her life might have been if she got the proper parental help when she got accepted to dance school! 🤔

Would You Pay to See 'Lost' in a Cinema?
I know this will never happen, but if a nearby cinema decided to screen the entirety of 'Lost', let's say 3-4 episodes a night, let's say Fri-Sun, would you pay to attend?
Actually, the way these TV show screenings typically work, admission is free, but you are encouraged to buy snacks, and some cinemas like the Alamo Drafthouse will require that you purchase a food woucher.
I'd be there in a heartbeat.
I saw the series finale in a cinema, and it was a sublime experience. The first episode of 'Lost' is one of the best pilots of any TV show ever, and I'd LOVE to watch it on a big screen, especially with other 'Lost' fans.

Who’s down for a Lost rewatch?
It’s about time for my yearly Lost rewatch haha and I was wondering if anyone’s down to watch with me. We could binge watch ≥5 episodes each week. Figured it’d be more fun watching along with some people and discussing it as we go.
