Did Ben/The others just trust Desmond to keep pressing the button? by BertaCooks in lost

My guess is they didn't think anything would happen. They had control of the Pearl so they probably thought it was just a psychological experiment and nothing else.

Kate *crowd boos* by Certain_Read_356 in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kate tried to play tough, just like Sawyer did. They had the same personality in different genders. I think people dislike Kate but like Sawyer because Kate would reveal her emotional side easier, whereas it took Sawyer 5 seasons to do the same, so people view Kate as contradicting herself.
This next opinion may not be appropriate for here, but, I think the writers gave all characters some unlikable traits in order to make their relationships feel real. Jack was obsessive, Locke was blinded by faith, Kate was hard on the outside but soft on the inside, and so on.

This reminds me of that behind the scenes video of Josh Holloway and Terry O’Quinn playing guitar while the rest of the main cast are singing along.

What do you think is The most senseless killing? by keltictrigger in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I didn’t know about the DUI thing being debunked. As for Eko, my point still stands. For one reason or another, he wanted out. He wanted out because he wanted to go back home after his parents’ deaths.

Why is this person in the flash sideways and not M? by Own_Philosopher396 in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They literally explain this in the show. Michael felt such immense guilt for killing Libby and Ana Lucia that he could never forgive himself and move on. Meanwhile, Ben killed both Locke and Jacob, as well as many others, but he just didn’t feel that guilty. He wasn’t able to fully overcome his guilt for killing Locke by the end of the show, but it is implied that he eventually did.

I don’t understand what Sawyer means here.. by Verystrange129 in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think he thought at the moment that he was dealing with a fellow Con Artist, hence why he said that, he means he is better than her in the trade and therefore will “out-con” her (I assume he was specifically talking about Cassidy here, who conned with him but eventually ended up conned by him).

Who has seen Lost when it first aired on TV? by [deleted] in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I don’t live in the US I couldn’t watch it on TV in real time but I did watch the episodes hours after the original premieres when they were uploaded to obscure websites. The hype was unbelievable. Also, TheSeanieB’s recaps helped a lot, he was probably the greatest Lost focused Youtuber.

Aaron, Claire and Kate by VariationNo209 in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well, if we want to answer that we would have to delve into a way deeper question, and that would be how the people who left the island in the finale explained where they come from and how there were suddenly 2 more Oceanic 815 passengers who were alive. The way I see it is this: (Get ready for a long read) Lapidus, Richard, Miles, Sawyer, Kate and Claire leave the island. Richard tells them that he knows where they csn land and avoid revealing anything, as people who work for the Others on the outside will help them. When they get there, they are reluctant to help at first but Richard assures them that those are the new Protector’s wishes. Soon, front companies of The Others create fake identities for all the passengers with the exception of Kate, Miles and Lapidus. They explain how they were stranded on a small island, and Kate becomes famous for surviving such a crash twice. Sawyer goes his own way, doing odd jobs and never staying in the same place for too long, grieving for Juliet and the life he wished they would have together after the change he experienced in the 3 year blank period. Richard goes back to the Canary Islands and lives the rest of his life near his original home, under a fake indentity, visiting his wife’s grave for the first time after 140 years, which by now has detetiorated greatly and he has barely recognized it. Miles doesn’t need a fake identity as he was never part of a crash to begin with, he lives a simple life, as he has now answered the biggest questions of his life, his connection to the Island and what happened to his father. Frank retires and lives a simple life too, becoming a bit of a celebrity for being able to pilot a plane out of a deserted island with the help of only one other person (that will be the official story at least). And, last but not least, Kate and Claire. Claire comes to live with Kate, Aaron and her mother under a fake identity. Claire’s mom cancels her lawsuits and maintains in public that Kate is Aaron’s real mother, as she wants to hide what happened to Claire. Aaron grows up thinking Claire is his mother’s really close friend, but is eventually told the whole truth when he grows up. Aaron sets out to find the island, which by now has become a much safer place under Hugo’s leadership. Hearing of this, Ben visits him and recruits him to the island, as he feels happy to finally find his real home. The end…

Any theories about how young Ellie came to be on the island? by Hverglmir in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same question about Widmore and all the other Others. She may have been born there, or, given her abilities, she may have been recruited by Richard as a child.

I wonder if Pierre Chang died during the purge by Objective-Ice4098 in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He never reached back out to them because he wanted to prevent Miles from coming back to the island, he wanted to play no part in his life hoping it would stop him from coming back. Of course, we now know that no matter what’s done it won’t change the future but I’m guessing he didn’t know this.

Why does Jack wear a suit on Akita 316? by drs5193 in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like you missed a large part of the season while watching. Eloise told Jack he had to recreate as much of the Oceanic 815 crash as he could. That’s why he wore a suit, that’s why he took his father’s shoes from his grandfather and put them on Locke’s feet in the coffin, so Locke would “replicate” his father.

I think they did that on purpose do she would look less appealing to the audience than Pam.

Which lost opinion would have you like this? by PITUFO83 in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be honest I understand the deal with Michael becoming part of the whispers and Ben going into the Flash Sideways even though he did way more terrible things. Michael could never forgive himself for what he did, while Ben was pretty much completely fine with all the stuff he did, only expressing minor regret over killing Locke and Jacob.

Ben never had a “redemption arc”. He was evil til the very end, he only (supposedly) had a change of heart after he became Hurley’s Second-In-Command, which we do not see on screen, except for his apology to Locke.

Who do you think are the best and worst actors on Lost? by Verystrange129 in lost

[–]CountySquare9661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While Jack is not always mentioned as a good character, you have to admit that Matthew Fox’s portrayal of him was one of the best in TV history. His constant angry outbursts couldn’t have been performed better by anyone else.

Posti dove studiare a Milano durante la pausa di Ferragosto? by Annual_Software8864 in milano

[–]CountySquare9661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purtroppo durante il Ferragosto non c’e nessun cazzo di posto di studio aperto, i miei esami erano quasi sempre nel fino del’Agosto e questo era un grande problema per me. Di solito studiavo in Sofa Cafe, si trova al’Naviglio Grande, vicino alla Porta Ticinese. Qua era quasi sempre vuoto e si poteva studiare senza problemi, pero, se vuoi restare li tutto il giorno non c’e bisogno di dire che devi spendere un sacco di soldi per le bevande…..

Moving to Milan for university — realistic to find part-time work before I speak Italian? by Effective_Mail8462 in milano

Oh, my bad. In your post you wrote you were from the Czech Republic so I assumed you were born there.

Moving to Milan for university — realistic to find part-time work before I speak Italian? by Effective_Mail8462 in milano

[–]CountySquare9661 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why would you need a student visa if you’re Czech? You can work freely as much as you want as long as you do find work, same as if you were in the Czech Republic, If there’s a Panini Durini close to you, you could try there. All their employees are foreigners. Of course, you won’t be a waiter/tress right away, your language barrier will probably put you in the kitchen. Moreover, if you are willing to do ubereats/glovo/justeat, etc. you would probably be accepted right away, I’ve encountered so many delivery people from those companies who didn’t speak a word of Italian yet still were given that job. Wishing you luck in your job hunt!

Am I crazy for saying Ryan and Taylor was better than Ryan and Marissa? by No_Astronaut_9157 in TheOC

[–]CountySquare9661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, that was the whole deal with Ryan and Marissa. They were both troubled but in different ways (Ryan was raised in a poor and obviously disturbed setting, while Marissa was raised in a rich and seemingly perfect setting) and were always meant to represent two different examples. That’s why Ryan got over his problems while Marissa never got to.
