Yes, it's all fantastical and supernatural like other shows--but in this case it's because of the Island that all of this stuff occurs. Like, for example, people who never went to the Island never realized all this stuff was happening or possible. Jack's dad was the exception, someone who arrived on the Island already dead, but that must have been because the Man in Black/Smoke Monster decided to use his visage to communicate early on. (That's my theory anyway.)
I can see why thinking it was like a dream or something would have made it easier to swallow, but it's solidified in the Pilot episode when Charlie asks, "Guys, where are we?" Because it's a bizarre place, where bizarre things happen, and they don't even know the half of it yet. Because it's set in reality, it's always been a point of argument, but it's like when Ben shows Jack that the Red Sox won the World Series--it's to prove that this world and that world BOTH exist, it's just that not every can or will find the other world. Does that help? Or just make it worse? Sorry if I'm ruining it for you!
That's interesting about EM, because I've loved her since I first clapped eyes on her in 1999's Frequency and I've been toying with getting into Revolution because of her. But Juliet, she was a very special character for me--I didn't start watching the show full time until S3, and that's when Juliet first appeared, and I just fell in love with her. But I always shipped Jack/Juliet, Sawyer/Kate, so that's why the Sideways soothed my shipper heart so much.
S3 will always be my favorite of all the seasons--3x06 "I Do" being my favorite episode ever, but "Through the Looking Glass, part one and two" are my second faves. I remember being completely mindfucked by the FLASHFORWARD, and then having to wait NINE MONTHS for the show to come back. IT WAS TORTURE. TORTURE.
You're so lucky you didn't have to wait for anything. And now I'm going to have a LOST marathon today! LOL
I liked S6 a lot too, but I think my order of faves is 3, 5, 6, 1, 4, 2. Season 2 was hard for me to get through because I HATED Ana-Lucia. Ugh, so much hate for her. But I love time travel, so S5 was loads of fun for me.
Feel free to word vomit some more, I'm here for you! :D
