Oh shite....and burying that hottie and her latin lover alive.....lol.


They sucked as characters but made for a great brick joke when Miles brought them and the diamonds as to why he didn’t need to sell out to Ben.

People give that episode shite, but I’d put it right in the middle of the pack of LOST episodes. It was a great Twilight Zone episode inserted into LOST, and what better way from them to die than to be buried alive, them knowing they’re being buried alive, and powerless to stop it? I’m a fan of the Exposé episode.

I'm looking for my original blast door Dharma map. My god, I studied that thing with my co-workers for weeks. Was such an awesome show watching week to week. Need to do a rewatch.

Lindelof himself said HBO just wanted episodes. I disagree with you on this OML.

You should not be a fan of this episode. It was a money grab, stretch it more so ABC suits could say they milked it. And then 20+ years later some assholes blame the creators of the show.

I don’t think their episode was the problem. The obvious shoehorning them in as always being there that season when they hadn’t just felt artificial as frick.


OTOH, it also explained some loose ends such as where Shannon’s inhaler went that Sawyer was accused of stealing from the luggage.

I mean, they were contracted to a certain number of episodes a year. Some people put that in the bottom five episodes, when it clearly isn’t. It’s not Across the Sea, Fire + Water, or Adrift bad. It’s fine for what it tried to be.

I hate filler episodes but always enjoyed that one.

I get your thought, but seriously, Lost is criticized so much for the too many filler episodes and not giving the juice.

Fantastic show with a terrific ending. Hated to see it end.


You and I have always agreed on this and I still do. It was the goat show for me, and probably always will be. I could watch it any time and still enjoy it.

It basically had everything and I got into it immediately and could not wait for the next week show to be on.

I'm one that loved the Finale. The last season is a mess at times but I really love how it ended.


Same. The ending was very good to me. No tv show has ever given me the feels like those final episodes. Those final flashbacks still do when I rewatch.

I love the Eko character in part because the actor is very talented, having been a major character on Oz for multiple seasons.

Pretty much any episode based around him was great IIRC.

One of my favorite shows ever. It ran concurrently with its spiritual cousin, the BSG reboot. I was in TV heaven.

You have to binge this show. It’s the only way to remember all of the details from episode to episode and season to season.

I would wait til the DVDs came out and then binge watch. Really helped with my enjoyment since I didn’t have to think back to six months prior to remember an important detail.

The only season I didn’t binge watch was 6 bc I didn’t want anyone to spoil it for me.

The show is a wonderful imagining of Buddhism put into a sci-fi action adventure. The more you understand Buddhism, the better you’ll understand the show and the ending.
