Charlie has to be the worst character in any TV show I've seen.

That actor is the luckiest little fuck in the world. Managed to get parts in two of the biggest franchises ever and has been nothing since due to being talentless. He also got prime Evangeline Lily which makes me legitimately angry.

Watched it during its run on tv. The mythology was fantastic(Dharma, Smoke Monster, Richard,the others) and peaked in season 4 with the finale. Season 5 felt off and in season 6 the showrunners decided they had to explain every mystery. It was a bad idea. The temple shit was retarded. I liked that smokey took the form of Locke. Jacob was a dumb reveal, even though that actor really pounded Pat on twitter. The finale, while not necessarily good, did bring a tear to a nigga's eye.

Some of the acting was atrocious. Naveen Andrews stinks as an actor and probably in general, too. My favorite characters were Eko and Ben.

I rewatched it maybe 5 years ago after painstakingly watching every week and waiting months between episodes in the first live airing. It's telling now how much things changed before and after the writers strikes. It went from a (i think) 24 episode long season where the pacing was perfect to 10 episode season runs split across 12 months that still managed to be 50% irrelevant content like plot lines which went nowhere. Introducing cast members, learning their life stories and then killing them was a common way to pad out a run. All in all you could plain avoid watching 95% of the show and it would have no impact whatsoever on your understanding of what was fundamentally a really good story line. Flashbacks were clearly a budget saving method by the end. The bulk of the plot also hung on the witless idea that nobody ever communicated anything important to the 20 other survivors and a lot of the script was strung together not on the precept of people needing to keep secrets from each other to survive like a good thriller but rather on them forgetting that a huge life or death event or miracle just happened and going back to counting coconuts and fishing in the episode following. Which is unrealistic.

Also I think they invented the trope of killing characters off for the OMG moment yet still keeping them as show regulars which was annoying.

By the way "From" on (i think) Showtime has some of the same writing cast and actors. Similar concept to Lost and seems to be heading the same direction if season 2 was anything to go by. Well worth a look though.

The finale was so terrible, it made me want to find the writers and demand they give me back all the time I'd invested up until that point.
Did you understand it though? I hated it at first too but after researching it and reading other people’s interpretations of it, it makes sense that the final season was about them being in purgatory and needing to find each other and remember their lives in order to move on. By the ending, they had all died. It could have been years since the last events we saw on the island, especially since Hurley became the new Jacob and presumably held his role for a very long time before dying. They were all waiting in purgatory until everyone was finally dead and ready to move on together. I thought it was pretty touching since they all came from lives where they had nobody, but in the end the island brought them all together in a special way and they moved on to the afterlife together happily.
