I remember exactly what they're talking about here.  Midway through season 3 it seemed like the writers had lost track and didn't know where they were supposed to go, and the show began to drag on. It wasn't until they negotiated that end date that it felt like LOST was getting back on track story wise. Season 4-6 have been great as a result, with a few slow moments here and there, but overall, the end product has turned out wonderfully.

@marxistbros370 Stranger in a Strange Land. The entire episode focused on Jack's tattoos and how he got them

[marxistbros370]

What "tattoo episode" is he talking about?

After the ending, I hate those two nerds. Would LOVE to punch them.

@stumpdawg251 LOL the tatoo episode. Now that the ending has hit, that episode is less of a waste of time as it seemed when it first landed. But still pretty lame.

lmao the tattoo episode. That was pretty bad. But other than that I love this show.
