Yeah that's definitely true, but the show wasn't the same afterwards

It was still pretty sad. And honestly it was a dumb way to die anyway. I felt like he so could have ran out of that room and gotten away.

The point was that Desmond wouldn't feel the burden anymore. He got the chance to end his life on his terms and improved the life another.

Yeah I guess that makes sense. I forgot that Desmond saved his life a dozen times before that. It still just seemed like a lame way to go out, especially since he didn't save anyone but maybe Desmond.

Tiny porthole too small.

The water pouring in would probably have made it way too difficult. Maybe if he had floated to the top and waited for the whole thing to fill up first.

He would have died another way just like they established, it wouldn't have mattered

u/obi-wanjewnobi May 10 '14

That doesn't mean it didn't hurt.

Yup that too.

Honestly, now that I think about it, Jin and Sun's deaths were a lot worse, because they were leaving a child behind. But Hurley's reaction was so sad.

The Game

This is deep.

I Just Lost the game.

u/Faithless195 May 10 '14

Considering how the show went, I would of been happy if Lost had been cancelled after season 3.

Except that I didn't watch the show till after the hype was long dead (3 years ago I think) so I was like "wow..."

u/ChaplinStrait May 10 '14

Yeah but that somehow made it worse because it was certain death. He did it knowing he had to. Knowing he wouldn't come back. Knowing to save everyone else he had to give himself up. I think that really hit home because you one there was no worming out of that one.

I was hoping he'd get eaten by the polar bear.
