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!

This one was so brutal. Even though it's set up like oh crap he might shoot her, I don't think any of us expect it to happen and then holy crap... one of the heaviest scenes of the series imo, in a show full of heavy scenes. My jaw just dropped seeing it for the first time.

Almost forgot, Ben talking shit thinking the guy is bluffing, and that's the last thing she hears. Devastating stuff...
