The island wanted LOST SEASON SIX THREAD to happen (***CLICK CAREFULLY -- CONTAINS SPOILERS***)

It's weird, because the sci-fi stuff came back with a vengeance for seasons 4 and 5, so I wonder what changed their minds
Too bad the Smoke Monster wasn't nanobots though

xp Oh yeah nevermind. What am I think "heavily toned down"?

Well re-reading S3 summary it looks like the time travel stuff was mainly Desmond and perhaps has less of a sci fi flavor than a psychic/pseudoscience leaning. The show was mostly people trying to escape The Others w Desmond having visions of the future interspersed.

When I think back on it, it does feel right to me to call the middle years sorta 'toned down'. Season three is castaways vs Others, season four is castaways vs freighter folks. Season 5 def took a trippy twist and season six was just plain weird.

nanobot smoke monster as a messenger sent back from the future would have been awesome

almost anything other than what they came up with would have been awesome, tbh

it's gonna end with people walking around the island giving each other warm looks and sawyer giving everyone hugs, softly saying "frackles, frackles, frackles" while violins play for 30 minutes.

Maybe more like a Star Wars ending, you see the ghosts of Christian Shepherd, Charlie and the horse standing at the side digging the party.

ILX basically called it.

Kind of amazed Locke didn't turn into his own smoke monster. Maybe they could've used a different color smoke.

from new yorker article about group dynamics in simulated missions to mars:

The study also cited reports of “unreciprocated sexual interest” expressed by a person of authority, and resentment from a French-Canadian participant who, forced by the group to sit through the television series “Lost,” complained that the plot was incomprehensible.

otm

hahaha

sad.
I remember my heart slowly ripping out when giant pendulums and faraday's crazy math amounted to nothing. the show decided to go an emotional route and ditched any logic for "this is just the way the mystery works, deal with it". Actually, I don't want to recall the specifics because just thinking about this show makes me sad
