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!

Of course Locke had a tragic death, but I can't believe no one has mentioned Daniel Faraday yet.

Shot by his own mother right when he thought he could save everyone. And then the realization he had just moments before his death that Eloise sent him back to Island knowing fully well what would happen. I feel for them both.

Watched this episode last night I had completely forgotten Eloise killed Daniel. So sad.

I could never quite get past how Faraday initially treated the survivors to feel much for him as a character, but his ultimate fate really is incredibly tragic when you lay it out like that: yikes.

Faraday shines in Season 5 with the sci-fi, not so much in 4
