A.R. Moxon, Verified Duck 🦆LOST is streaming on Netflix—an excellent time to revisit the show, using the viewing guide I'm publishing in my newsletter (link in thread).
Many think the story isn't coherent. I think it was. If you want to know why, read on:
@Till you get to the last season and they continuously kick you in the kidneys till you get to the last episode and it’s “well, I just wasted 5 years of my life…”
blakmarkit@kbsez this is addressed a few paragraphs into the essay:
"I'm quite aware that you probably think the narrative fell apart some time before the end [...] If this is you, you might feel the urge to comment to say this, and while nobody can stop you, I’d like to ask you to resist that urge. I want to assure you that if you feel this way, you’ve already won the day. Everybody thinks this already. It’s the thing everybody thinks about this show. You are in the clear majority."
I didn’t get that far before my lesser impulse got the better of me….. 😁
