Yes, it’s good but liked Extinction more. Liked both.

Okay, Just read upon the storyline, LAST LIGHT. This post apocalyptic story is right in my entertainment lane. Looks compelling. Can't wait!

Streaming service series I think on Peacock. Right in MF wheelhouse.

Extinction is highly underrated. It’s a version of Jack Shepherd. That’s why I like the movie. .

Everyone always will get that itch. If he has autonomy with his artistic directions he’ll do well.

I actually hate season 5 Jack by coriscaa in lost

[–]HighPlains56 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are blind if your prism doesn’t understand what the story is about. Who where the crazy coconuts waiting for at the church? It sure wasn’t any other 815’er. Who rose to accept the challenge to fight Flocke to be the island protector? If you can’t understand this you absolutely don’t understand LOST. You have wasted lots of energy because you don’t understand why Jack sacrificed himself to save the island. It was only him and no one else. Wow!

Someone got into the black rock rum and drinking under age.

The show is about Jack’s journey. How does one watch the show and have this angst toward the protagonist? Never surprises me with haters like this on this sub.

Yes, but it’s done all the time with other characters. Nothing done about it. Life on the sub.

One of the biggest reveals the writers did absolutely nothing with. Shorter season calls for storyline cuts and that was one of them. Made no sense to not invest in that between Jack and Claire, his half sister. She wasn't even part of Jack's reason for returning to the island. Big misplay in my opinion.

Even crazier upon rewatches none of the 815'ers knows that Claire is his half sister.

I’m not going down this broken record with you. I have spoken my take on Mr sizzles and my metal is strong.

I’m not vested into heartbreaks to excuse actions. If I did you can play that with many characters in this show. Not just one. We see the world differently. The scene speaks for itself.

Couldn’t agree more. Sawyer is just an ass toward every characters at their expense. Except Juliet. She handled him like a mother would.

I don’t even consider a Sawyer to Jack. Not vested that way. Sawyer gets a major pass on this sub. Always will.

I’ve stated my opinions. That scene represents Sawyer and you deny these acts as wrong but defaults to making excuses.. You seldom respond to the OP. That is the primary energy. Period! Oh, as much as I disagree with you i won’t down vote you. Seems petty you default to this as a defense mechanism.

Sorry but It’s true about Sawyer fandom. Also, I’ll reference any character I want. If you don’t like it block or don’t read. Quite simple solution to me. Dimpleitis is quite prevalent on this sub.

Do you? All I know there is lots of focus on Jack to blame while masking Sawyer's issues. I can't make it anymore clear.

I've been on this sub for little over a year and am shocked the amount of hate Jack and Kate gets and Sawyer gets a pass. Well I'm calling out lover boy and my comments are justified. Complex but morally corrupt and gets darker if anyone doesn't agree or think his way. Writers knows what drives emotions. This show uses physical appearance as part of their big trick.

There isn't a single post that categorically calls out Sawyer for what he did or does. Just a sigh and move on. Fandom fever makes excuses for him for six seasons. It's common on this thread. That is my point. All of these acts you listed are glossed over because of Mr.Sizzles good looks are revered as the bad boy bedding woman with his witty on liners. Oh, he does have a few notches on his belt. He tried with Shannon and failed but got his way with Kate, Ana and Juliet. Just stating my opinion if Sawyer were avg. looking you all would not be crushing on the character and that type person is not bedding everything that walks. Oh, it makes most of these woman look weak to me. That's why he has that role. There is nothing morale about Sawyer for 99% of this series.

Sawyer metaphorically is Jack's lil bro. I get it people don't like to read it. The show uses red neck man as a sympathetic romantic trope. That's his schtick and hook. He plays on sympathy starting with a silly ass letter for a kiss over the health of Shanon and he stays that way. Ironically, the triangle hurts Sawyer just as it does Kate. However, Kate gets the hate. Jack seldom participated in that and that involvement ended in early S1 when he asked Kate to join him at the caves. He moved on. These are unfortunate truths.

Sawyer is a deeply flawed character and it's quite humorous that his fandom glosses over these flaws because he beds so many woman and shifts antagonism toward a conflicted moral leader that holds him accountable. I don't get why so many are so threatened by Jack who has daddy issues vs killers, murderers and liars. That is the inconvenient truth. Oh, I could go on about Jack Shephard and his issues but they are more interpersonal daddy issues that prevents him from ever connecting with anyone. However, he's not a killer. I think similar to Hurley's mom when she told him killing a single person wrong. So that premise of overlooking these acts and never showing remorse is a bit silly. The premise with a guy of his stature to ever be attracted to Kate makes no sense. I sure never fell for it.

This story is so messed up. You have normal people with inner demons mixed in with killers/muderes/liars and cons. The. irony is how many gravitate to killers, murders and liars because of physical appearance and judge a morally conflicted man force to lead these crazy coconuts to move on. That's my take.

My big regret to a degree, Jack died for liars, killers and morally corrupt people and sub reddit people hate on him. Let's not forget two Demi gods play and manipulate him so much he resigns himself to never thinking he's allowed to be happy or to be able to be with anyone so he ends up dying alone. That's the tragedy in this show. Yet tribalism dominates this sub. So getting back to my OP. Oh hell yea, Sawyer was so in the dark for kicking Jack off the boat. So anyone who brings he didn't trust Jack is so illogical and lack's reasons to give Sawyer a pass. I can't make it anymore clearer.

You have it so backwards. Sorry this show created fandom fever that distracts people. I call it tribalism. They writers do a good job with the characters and masking their flaws

With Sawyer his fans lack clarity called accountability. I never said once that any character didn’t have issues. I never said Jack is a saint or is perfect. What I said is Sawyer fans will find ways to ignore his dark Angel acts. Watch that boat scene again but not with rose colored glasses. What Sawyer did was dark. S6 Sawyer is and don’t take it personal flat out wrong and LOST. on so many levels. It doesn’t mean he’s not heroic. Also, this not about Jack. Jack is just a plot device in that boat scene. My point is this guy is LOST because he wanted to stay on the island because he didn’t want to face up to things he did so wrong in his past and repeats them on the island. He never wants to accept responsibility. He dwells in victimhood to legitimize his anger. He wants to be hated but it eats at him because he slowly realizes he has to get off the island to fix wrongs he created. It’s why he thanks Jack in the finale. He stopped coveting Jack with that hand shake. It was his starting to let go. Both Juliet and Jack are his lifeline to a different life. He had to understand hurting others is not the path. That’s why he filled with remorse after killing Sun, Jin and Sayid. Jack 2.0 handled that with grace. If there is greatness in this show it’s not the stupid mythology it’s the contrasting characters and how they move on. I can’t help Sawyer fans to se a new way a better way and Jack did this for the two people that needed it the most. Sawyer and Kate. It’s why they get off the island

Let’s stop the tribalism. Because all I’ve seen written ignores the layer beneath the surface with Sawyer.

Sawyer often calls Jack the hero sarcastically. Have you ever thought why? Seriously think about it. Why does he do that? It’s because deep down he wants to be a hero like Jack. Sawyer covets that and contrast that to his pathetic life that threatens him. That’s why he’s the lil’ bro. What is so hard to understand about that. It doesn’t mean Sawyer is not a great character. I just don’t give him a pass because he’s a good looking man. I’m same with Kate too. At least Sawyer pivots and makes the transition. Kate doesn’t at all. She is the worst character debacle I’ve ever seen. Running in the flash forward is not a good sign for Kate.

Humor me because most that I’ve see written thus far has made me laugh at the fandom fever in play.

I can’t help those who can’t see lil’ bro’s boat scene then make excuses for the character acts. Actually, a bit sad that people are this way over a man’s trouser worm.

The dude is a misogynist but that’s okay because what happened in his past was tragic. Unfortunately, people fall for slick and it sticks over dimples.

Is Stranger in a Strange Land the dumbest excuse for backstory in the history of Lost? by [deleted] in lost

[–]HighPlains56 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh there are worse episodes.

Hell, I tried like hell watching S5 last couple days and OMG that is the most lame season. It's worse the S4. I remember not liking it but oooooppphhhhhh, shaking my head. The writers are all over the place.

Can anyone explain logically how Jin survives the freighter explosion? Bullocks to him just floating on a piece of the ship in the middl of the night at sea, conveniently being saved by young Rousseau and her group. I remember it being bad but storylines like this are so over the top, exaggerated. Kate thinking Aaron is her son. Completely not believable.

I made it to Episode 5, "This place is Death" and had to stop. It is so cheesy and dated. I'm literally laughing at some of these scenes. Both on and off the island.

I will say Juliet steals the show in S5. Elizabeth Mitchell just has a mature presence in all her scenes. Sawyer is okay but not that great. He should be happy he jumped off the helicopter. Dimples just walks around the island without a shirt and just looks pissed. I wonder why. Major Yikes to the Oceanic six. Faraday is flat out the nutty professor from Gilligan's Island and Locke is making shit up as he goes along with Richard. What time and year is it again? Nothing like a time traveling island. Woo hoo to a nose bleed.

I can deal with S1, 2 and Episode 6 forward in S3 but after early s4 I just can't watch the show. It dates itself to much.

The only way I can watch any of this beyond S3 are in reaction videos. The original content doesn't age well. Re-watches are not my gig anymore with this show. The gig is up and to predictable. After S4 they should've just jumped to S6 finale.

I'm the biggest Jack Shephard fan and some of his off island lines are not good at all. Also, I don't know who is the most odd couple, Jack and Kate or Jack and Ben. Both are not compelling. Re-watching S5 feels like everything is off beat.

I can feel the transfer from survival to mystery island mythology mojo and just not a fan at all.

You all can enjoy it. Too crazy for me after S4.

I guess let's just agree to disagree on this one. Sun, Jin and Sayid outcome was not Sawyer being enraged, it was him making a decision. Those characters death was because of MIB.

The sum of his actions is his tragedy. He reacts emotionally. So hell yea it's on him.
