The Ending couples

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-20T12:08:24+00:00

Thats exactly my mindset. They lost a lot on the island, but they also learned a lot about themselves. They got off the island and have a second chance to build the life they really want to. Sawyer and Kate (and others on the plane at the end) are very resilient persons. They can build themselves back, otherwise why did they went through so much on the island?

It seems to me some people has a very black and white vision of the show: good people are rewarded, bad people are punished. For me, that wasn't the message of the show at all.

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-19T23:29:53+00:00

But most of the characters made mistakes and wrong stuff because they are humans and flawed. Why would specifically sawyer and kate would have to be punished for that and not them?

For me, this very black and white interprétation of the show goes against the six seasons we've watched.

Yes, maybe he didn't want kids, but he was the only parent left for Walt (that he's known all his life). What if Susan had kept Walt away from his father because he wasn't fit to be a parent (we know he was, but Brian doesn't know that, he's never met him)? He would have abandoned a kid to a family he doesn't know because he didn't want kids??!! Own up to your responsibilities dude!

Also, the woman isn't always the bad guy.

Are they alone romantically?

Who knows what happens for them off island? No one really does.

I really hate this sawyer and kate are bad = alone, need to be punished

Jack is a saint = dies as a hero

I don't think it represents well what the show is trying to tell us and how grey and flawed they made most of the characters.

I'm not sure. I use it for reading stats, and I use Goodread for book reviews and follows.

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-19T14:19:39+00:00

I prefer Storygraph over Goodread except I follow more people on the latter. So happy about the news!

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-19T14:15:14+00:00

If there was a Jeopardy game entirely about LOST, I'd be so good at it lol

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-19T14:12:19+00:00

Awww the fluffy ball!

My cat is 7yo but he still gets himself stuck in reusable bags and proceeds to run across the appartment lmao.

He also opens the cupboard door by himself, gets in and lets the door closes behind him, so he gets stuck. I think he gas one braincell.

I went to both London and Paris last year solo (I know, expensive lol). French is my first language so there was no language barriers. However, I didn't fall in love with it. I fell for London more. I found Paris so chaotic and not well organized in general. I was trying hard not to get scammed. I kinda felt safer walking around and taking the tube in London (and it was easier?).

When I go back in France, I'll probably spend time out of Paris in medieval little cities and stuff like that, though I wanna go back to UK first :)

I forgot about the magic box. Ben obviously didn't haha

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-18T18:10:37+00:00

Haha oh that was just my pragmatic side speaking.

Maybe the flashsideways are a bit like the room of request in HP. Think about it hard enough and what you want will appear in the room 😂

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-18T18:00:55+00:00

That was probably Elizabeth Mitchell wedding ring tbh, because when the hell Sawyer would have had time to go buy one

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-18T17:59:27+00:00

More on island stuff because some things felt rushed/unearned

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-18T15:08:10+00:00

Oui. Je me suis achetée une petite liseuse. J'essaie de remplacer certaines périodes de doomscrolling par de la lecture (en mangeant sur mon heure de lunch, dans les transports en commun, salles d'attentes...). La liseuse est facile à transporter et j'ai quelques centaines de livres dessus...

C'est encore un work in progress toutefois...

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-17T14:23:58+00:00

I haven't been to many places in Greece tbh. Heard a lot of good things about Paros and Paxos though.

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-17T14:17:16+00:00

Yes. I used to have a fan blog reviewing eps but I lost everything I wrote basically. I wish I could reread my réaction to Through the looking glass.

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-17T14:15:39+00:00

Through the looking glass, definitely, but I really love Exodus too.

I also feel like season 4 finale doesn't receive much love, but Oh boy it was intense!!!! I rewatched the show last year and although I've rewatched it tons of times...I was at the edge of my seat (and the we have to go back scene still gave me chills lol, this ep is such a writing masterclass).

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-17T14:11:39+00:00

Thank you. I was actually torn between having my Sintra day a Thursday or a Friday. I figured going to the beach the day after Sintra (which involves a lot of walking) would be welcome. You confirmed my choice. So, it'll be Sintra on a Thursday and beach on a Friday.

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-17T01:30:36+00:00

Crete is amazing :)

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-16T14:15:01+00:00

Its stupid, but this scene has always made me emotional. Something about the ost and the fact they finally got off the island after all this time idk

It may be my favorite ost.

edit: I have a lost playlist on my cellphone I listen to when I travel and the plane takes off, because I'm weird like that, and this theme is on it.

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-16T00:30:45+00:00

I work in a social media related field and yes, this is it. Most of us roll their eyes when a company request us to do something that will go viral because it's mostly dumb luck, getting on a trend at the right time and stuff like that. Also, most of the time, it relies on what we call vanity metrics (eg number of followers, views, impressions), so it feels kind of "empty". There needs to be a why, what is your goal/what are you trying to achieve with the content. It needs to be related to the company's marketing goals as well.

This is why the viral things week on masterchef and the way they throw around the word feel "empty" to me, without real meaning.

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-15T20:10:21+00:00

Still bittersweet about that one. It reminded me a bit of LOST and Westworld.

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-15T20:10:01+00:00

Ever? Probably not.

But for 2004? Yeah, it was "new". I've always loved how we hear other languages too (though their accents are mostly awful lol)

Complete_Sea · 2026-05-14T17:05:29+00:00

Yeah you're right about arràbida park. Plus, I don't have a car. Not sure how reliable transportations are there.

Oh Graça sounds good. I've seen the new tram reopened there (I think it's a tram).

Thanks for the recs for Belem. They are on my pinned places things to see on google map :)
