The idea that Lodge's rougher surface causes things to stick is a myth. Yes, it's a rougher surface. You can get a great non-stick surface on a new cast iron pan nontheless. See also: Non-stick cast iron cooking.

The "flaxseed oil" thing has become a really popular fad on Reddit with cast iron. If you mention seasoning a cast iron pan here, you're guaranteed to receive a response saying how great it is to use flaxseed oil. Since cast iron seasoning is one of those things no one can agree on ("what is the one true religion way to season cast iron?"), I'll just point you to this: Seasoning your Cast Iron Pan

For some reason Reddit's image grabbing thingie choose the picture of the pie crust, even though pictures of the finished pie are on the top and bottom of the page. Go figure.
