One of the best opening credits of all time, which made it surprising when Doom Patrol remade the entire thing.

I can’t disagree with anything on this list

I think Jin would be a little lower though.

Raijin Quickfoot

Hmmm...when Locke explains backgammon to Walt...is that some kind of metaphor or foreshadowing?

I CAN’T TELL

jin is a beautiful man with crime problems

he is a beach kiryu

I'm honestly unnerved by how close your list would be to my own

Someone make a LOST Thread and everyone can start rewatching it

Rorshach Kringle

still mad the pig split the vote with locke

give that pig every medal

DJ Eebs

I like Kate more than like, half the internet does but I also remember season one is the one with the toy plane thing so I can't say people don't come by their dislike of her honestly

Peen

We started watching What We Do In The Shadows and this show is pretty good, you guys should check it out.

Zonugal

The character I am most excited for @Rorshach Kringle to meet on Lost is Miles Straume.

Reynolds

Leslie Arzt was my favorite character.

Just like know Jin isn’t as bad as he seems but at the third episode he’s still being a DICK to Sun

Zonugal

My favorite observation to come out of watching the season finale was that Sawyer's morality is directly tied to how much clothing he is wearing.

Shirtless? He'll be a team player and help you out.

Shirt on? Asshole.

But my absolute favorite comment throughout the entire season was @Cello remarking that she felt the show was, "somewhat mean-spirited against its characters."

Which I can't quite disagree with...

Cello

Also it took some real arguments, both internally and in the chat, to not constantly push Vincent for MVP

I think I'm settling for making my own category of Most Valuable Pup and he can win that every episode instead

Mr. G

he IS the Most Vincent Portrayer

Gustav

After the rewatch I think Miles is my favorite character?

"oh great the freighter sent us another Sawyer"

Gustav

Anyways I need you all new to Lost to report back with your feelings on Expose when you get there.

Odds that it will be Rorshach's favorite episode have gotta be strong right?

I liked the one with

Danny Trejo

He does wreck the curve

I wasn't too into The Boys for it's season one, but after the first three episodes of Season 2 I'm all in.

The trailers for the first season were EXTREMELY off-putting, and I never got around to checking it out

But season two has Aya Cash..........

rhylith

The Boys has some issues. Has some serious not great edgelord tendencies, and the first episode I almost dropped it. But it's also pretty entertaining if you can get past some of that shit.

Prohass

I think it gets a bad wrap as being edgelord since that’s inevitably the aspect the advertisers use when promoting it. But it’s pretty grounded and has a lot of heart, it never takes itself too seriously or by the same token is too flippant with its violence. Like the violence is usually horrific, and there’s a humour in the absurdity, but it’s treated as such In world, as both deeply surreal and devastating. It also is in service to the idea that the supers are so destructive to ordinary people that the violence has to take centre stage, otherwise you’re not showing what the ordinary people are going through and how shocking and rattling it is

I’d say it has missteps and gets close to losing its balance, but it has some truly holy shit moments, and some pretty wrenching emotional stuff based on those moments. It’s definitely worth watching up to like episode 4 of season 1 I think, that episode had a sequence in it that just absolutely floored me and glued me to the screen

It’s also way better than the comic it’s based on

It’s not for everyone’s tastes, but the violence always feels like a good balance between showing the horrifically humorous reality of what super powers would actually mean and genuine horror. It’s cynicism always seems to be punching up too, like it reserves its contempt for those that deserve it

It’s pretty much the only show right now where I look forward to each episode because you always know there’s going to be something memorable in every episode

a quick glance at twitter has indicated that the 100 has pissed everyone off again, gotta admire their commitment to that bit at this point

Okay, so I actually watched the episode and holy shit did it deliver. Like, there was a couple of things I thought would happen, but what actually did was not.

The episode ended with Clarke shooting Bellamy in the chest because he was going to risk Madi's life for some religion-based-on-transcendence stuff.

Also really, someone needs to kill Sheidheda already, for a dead man he's very active.

Zonugal

I started watching The Boys.

I finished the first three episodes and I hate some of these characters.

Shitty Aquaman & Flash? I hope only bad things come to them.

Meanwhile I love Starlight, Homelander, and "Captain Jack Sparrow" by way of Karl Urban.

Oh man. Keep going.

Guess I'll probably sprinkle in the Boys this weekend around my rewatch of Venture Bros.

Those years were the most important years of our lives so we all got together and made a place where we can watch Lost together

Hacksaw

The Boys is as unhinged as it is amazing. Homelander is the absolute highlight of the series and it is a crime that Anthony Starr didn't at least get an Emmy nod for his portrayal of him.
