i should be done with season 4 on netflix insta-view soon. dunno when season 5 comes out, probably january, but ill hope to finish that up before 6 starts.
rewatching the series absolutely has a "6th sense" type feel, where you see the same scene, but now it means something entirely different. it's amazing, for example, how un-mysterious the others are. originally, i didn't know if they were ghosts or aliens or mad scientists or whatever. and, slowly but surely, they're demystified through out the years. but when you watch through again, you obviously know now they're just normal folks, and its nutty! you can still see why the losties are all confused, but you know how it plays out, etc... really, very well done.
i also remember sorta hating season 2 and 3 during the original runs; thinking they were very slow and clumsy. but watching them again (and, obviously with the ability to watch without commercials and in marathons) they seemed to hold up much, much better.
more than anything though, its so friggin cool (and impressive) to see how much of the show was mapped out, even very early on.
one random yet awesome-in-a-puzzle-piece-way quote; towards the end of season two, locke and mxy's desmond are in the bunker with the clock, letting it tick down. ecko is outside, trying to force his way in. charlie tells locke and desmond that ecko is going to use dynamite to break through the door. locke asks desmond if that will work. desmond says "no. they'd need an atom bomb to get through."
