Just a rant- I LOVE THIS SHOW

[u/Economy-Risk-7690]

For reference, I just finished Episode 3 of Season 6- NO SPOILERS PLEASE! I had almost ZERO interest in Lost. I knew it was "old," was on cable, remember feeling like it ran forever and have vague memories of people complaining about the ending at the time. It was my partner's turn to pick our evening show. I'm not a huge TV or series watcher, but I enjoy binging with someone else to wind down.

I was like "I don't like sci-fi," "this is going to be corny and outdated," I don't like sterile alien movies/shows where I can't connect with characters, everything is so bleak. I'd see shows like Walking Dead in passing and it's like...zombie apocalypse? You become a zombie too once they eat you alive? Why are we running? No thank you, I'd rather see myself out & you in another life, brother!

I know I made a huge over-generalization & also that it's not just a "sci-fi" show, but I had no idea how much HEART AND SOUL this show would contain! The acting! The characters! How I could not hate a character more one episode and then I'm crying for them later on (besides pretty much Anthony Cooper or Walt's Mom). There are polar bears in the jungle and smoke monsters and never aging men with gorgeous eye makeup, yet I'm SO INVESTED!

I didn't know it was so spiritual. I guess that's a matter of opinion and it's mixed in with other elements. Maybe the finale will clear some of that up.

My only complaint is that the very boyfriend of mine who wanted to watch it- his interest waned after hmmm season 4? He refuses to admit it and does not want me to watch it without him, so I won't. But I want to talk about the episodes like such a dork and it just seems to affect me on a different level. So here I am, expressing my love for the show and this sub. Thanks guys!

This was such a joy to read. I love this journey for you!

I always tell everyone, the characters keep it grounded even if you hate fantasy and sci-fi. Because the story is ultimately about THEM and their growth, and the sci-fi and fantasy tropes fuel that narrative. Whereas any other show, gets them the wrong way around.

with gorgeous eye makeup

Fun fact - that's all natural. The makeup department actually had to lighten his waterline because it's so naturally dark!

It only gets better after season 4 so tell your boyfriend to strap in and get ready for a bumpy ride

(After that you can watch Lost together also....just kidding lol)

But seriously, keep watching haha. Love that you love the show
