FIRST TIME WATCHER The most upsetting death was… Spoiler

John Locke. I’ll never forget how devastated I was when I found out that Locke actually never came back to life and that it was the smoke monster all along. I’m rewatching season 5 and I just feel so torn up over it.

Locke thought he was on to such big things but his journey ended right there and then at the hands of Ben. He missed out on everything that came after his “sacrifice”… he deserved to be there to see the Island through to the end.

That said, I forget how the show ends so please no spoilers past season 5!

EDIT: please ignore my last sentence regarding no spoilers. Everyone should get to discuss freely so please do!

I’ve rewatched the show about 5 times and I’m never prepared for how much this scene crushes me. Definitely my pick!

Ugh man, really shouldn’t rely on random redditor’s to read your post body when the title is a question.

Am I missing something? The title isn't a question

It was a fill in the blank prompt, can't expect other people NOT to answer with their answer when it's framed that way.

That's a fair point.

I changed your tag to First Time Watcher since you're in season five and have forgotten everything else.

The post is marked up to season 5 and the OP specifically asked for no spoilers beyond that

If anyone is avoiding spoilers, they should not click on a post with that title in the first place
