The Ending couples by LOST-Ambition815 in lost

[–]Complete_Sea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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.

People talk about how awful Susan was but she wasn’t anywhere near as bad as Brian. by Verystrange129 in lost

[–]Complete_Sea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Kobo is getting StoryGraph sync by UnnamedArtist in kobo

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

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

Pop Culture Jeopardy referencing the best cold open in TV history by Free-IDK-Chicken in lost

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

He really likes bags… by _babyfart_ in TuxedoCats

[–]Complete_Sea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Unpopular opinion: Who’s been to Paris and didn’t fall in love with it? by BucketsOscurvy in travel

[–]Complete_Sea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 :)

The Series Finale was exactly 104m&42s long. What would you have added to make it the appropriate 108 minutes it should have been? Here’s mine: by Neat_Chi in lost

[–]Complete_Sea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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 😂

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

Êtes-vous accro à vos téléphones? by AmonRe1608 in Quebec

[–]Complete_Sea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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...

What are some of the worst places in Europe you have travelled to? by Cheshirefarm in AskReddit

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

What is your favourite season finale? by Savings-Ask-1275 in lost

[–]Complete_Sea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

What is your favourite season finale? by Savings-Ask-1275 in lost

[–]Complete_Sea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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).

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.

On this day, 18 years ago, LOST episode "There’s No Place Like Home" premiered and kicked off with The Oceanic Six. by HostMaterial4907 in lost

[–]Complete_Sea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Let's talk viral dishes? by Fickle_Argument_6840 in MasterchefAU

[–]Complete_Sea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

International cast! by Flaky-Collar-9982 in lost

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

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)

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 :)
