LJ Idol Presents:

Yeah, I had this conversation a little while ago with a friend who just started watching LOST this year. When she was halfway through the first season, she asked me why I disliked Kate so much, and I explained that first season, I really liked her, too!

I agree. I think by last season, the only female characters who really had any personal agency left were Juliet and Sun, and I was not at all happy with how they were treated this season. I get that Elizabeth Mitchell got another job, but still! And yeah, one of the things Destiny and I were talking about that bugged us both was how...Sayid ends up with SHANNON at the end? And not Nadia, the woman he's been in love with his whole life? Shannon is more important to him? The only explanation I have for that is that they were not even thinking about the female characters. I was a bit happier with the Kate/Claire storyline this season, though. I liked how they built that.
