Poor Arzt, although the character did feel just a little too broad for the show, better suited to a sitcom.

Haha. that was my first reaction too.

Dominic has also said he didn't like Charlie's diminished screen time.

I'm in the middle of a rewatch. Just finished Psalm 23 in Season 2.

Maybe I was blind to at at the time, or, maybe as time has past, more things have come out, but it interesting to hear about all the behind the scenes issues the cast had.

Some, like the DUIs (Watros and Rodriguez) and sexual assault (Cusick) obviously hit the news, but some of the bickering/disagreements/clique stuff is kinda surprising.

I remember when Eko/Agbaje was killed off. At the time, I think the thought was that he wanted to be near his family... or something like that, but it turns out, he was a d-bag who didn't want to fulfill his contract and threw a temper tantrum.

Damn I'd love to know more of/ all of these stories.

I always meant to upgrade my L O S T DVDs to bluray, but I could never find a cheap way to do it. They never released a bare bones, cheaper box set, did they?

One of these days, I'd really like to rewatch the whole series. My wife and I loved the show, and we enjoyed the hell outta the first 4-5 seasons. And I've always been curious if I binge watch Season 6 (instead of watching it as it originally aired, weeks between episodes), it would make it slightly better.

[CouncilSpectre]

I find it much easier to appreciate the work if I don't know their transgressions!

On that point, loving HOUSE OF CARDS, hope that Spacey fella's squeaky clean......

I've been using Hulu for my rewatch.

Hmm. It doesn't look like it's available on Netflix or Crave (here in Canada anyway). But now I'm getting that itch for a rewatch.

Funny, I was just thinking of the videogame a couple days ago too...

[levcore]

Ah the Lost videogame, still have that on xbox, I remember quite enjoying it.

My top 2 favorite shows are Buffy and The X-Files but Lost is right around 3 and has the most replay value. I think we watch it once a year and nothing else comes close.

1) Charlie wanted to protect Desmond
2) Desmond told him if he doesn’t die, they won’t get rescued
3) Flooding the station would ruin communications equipment

I rented it one afternoon (saved myself 60 bucks), ripped right through it and got all the achievements. It was fine, but certainly nothing I ever needed to play again.

[levcore]

Yeah it was pretty basic stuff but purely from the perspective of hardcore Lost fandom, it was fun to have a game based on the series. I'll have to revisit it soon.

The scene was somewhat clumsily executed. I remember it being hotly debated online when it first aired. Charlie could have sealed the door from the safe side where Desmond is (there's a seal lock wheel on the door), he had enough time to do it. Not a big problem imo though, I'm fine with his arc ending with that moment.

[levcore]

That underwater base was pretty cool and a great payoff for Sayid finding that cable leading into the sea during season 1.

[R0CK0X]

I just bought the full series on blu because of this thread. Someone was selling the discs from the giant collection set (so minus all the tchotchkes) for $140.

Thanks jerks!

That still makes me jump when I watch it.

Another way to watch the show:

At one point I had tried watching the show chronologically, but never committed. If one were wanting to skip the flash sideways of Season 6, this would certainly be a good option. I remember finding a rip of Season 6 without the flash sideways but I was only able to nab the first handful of hours.

[levcore]

A cut that removes the flash sideways from season 6 sounds great. They were just so pointless.

[CouncilSpectre]

I know I'm in the minority here, but the sideways flashes worked for me, particularly after the finale.....

[levcore]

they just feel like filler, padding to give a flash something..anything for the last season. It's like the writers were "we did flashbacks, we did flashforwards, what haven't we done?"
