I really don't see how. But I'm glad you loved the show. It was also pretty perfect (there was only one bad episode) for me as well. I'm so glad to see someone talking sense around here.
I didn't hate the finale like a lot of people did, although it did feel like they just came up with the premise of it an hour before they filmed it. But again, I thought it wrapped most things up. I had a few small questions that lingered but after a little therapy I got over them.
I actually haven't watched all of Lost a second time through. been meaning too though i have seen the first 3 seasons a couple times.
I watched every previous season leading up to the next.

So, I've watched S1 6 times, S2 5 times, S3 4 times, S4 3 times and S5 twice all the way through. I watched every episode of S6 twice as well, expect the finale. I've only seen the finale once.

I should do a lost re-watch. I :heartbeat: the first 4 seasons. 5 and 6 slipped a bit, but overall really liked the show.

I think, outside of a few episodes that were strange or unnecessary wheel spinning, the first four seasons are damn near flawless.

Season five is strong, too, but didn't go far enough. They played it too safe. But it's still really good TV. Season 6 is a tale of two shows. Half of it is outstanding. The other half is at best interesting and emotional and at worst unnecessary and convoluted.

Man, do I despise Lost. It started me down a long, glorious road of J.J. Abrams hate.

Damon Lindelof is probably the true evil at work there.

One of my biggest complaints about cord cutting and the rise of television consumption via streaming is how hard it is to discuss shows with people. Everyone is at different points.
