I hate Lost. An awful lot.
Why have I waited so long to post this? 'Cuz I completely forgot that I had it. That's why.
I've got a myspace, people. It occupies my life.
ANYWAY.
So yeah. I (along with the rest of the world) watched "Greatest Hits" and about died myself at the end when Charlie didn't die. I recall jumping up and screaming, "CHARLIE ISN'T DEEEAD, CHARLIE ISN'T DEEEAD!" while doing a victory dance.
And then I realized the season finale hadn't happened yet, and Charlie was not out of the water yet (pun intended).
So I watched the finale (predicting pretty much every moment of it: "Oh, I bet Jack's going to kiss Juliet now. If he does, I'm going to puke. Yep, there he goes.") viligently, like any other Lost-obsessed fan.
And then he locked himself into the room. I started screaming, "They can't, they're not going to..."
And they did. They killed Charlie. I cried. Pretty damn hard, man. (Then I was like, "If that is Kate in that damn vehicle, I'm going to shoot myself." SURPRISE. IT WAS!) I didn't expect the whole "flash forward" thing, but y'know what? If Charlie's dead, I DON'T GIVE A...are we allowed to swear on these? I don't know.
So, here's the rub: plain and simple. I AM NEVER WATCHING LOST AGAIN IF CHARLIE ISN'T COMING BACK. And I don't just mean in flashbacks. That's shit, man. They promised us some Charlie/Claire sex, and did we get it? NO! We got Sawyer/Kate jungle sex, and Sawyer/Kate tent sex, WHICH I DON'T CARE ABOUT ONE BIT!
We've got two people on the island truely in love (Charlie and Claire), and then we've got the we-sort-of-love-each-other Sun and Jin, and then--of course, we've got the dreaded Sawyer-Kate-Jack-Juliet love quadrilangle. (RING DING DING: ANYONE REMEMBER THE Ana Lucia kind of liked-Sawyer who kind of liked-Kate who kind of liked- Jack who kind of also liked- Ana Lucia?)
So, because of course just EVERYONE loves a good soap opera, they decided to deja vu us, and give us another love square. I could tolerate it when I had my Charlie/Claire fix to get me by. Without them, no. No effin' way.
So if Desmond doesn't go back and time and save him, or if Charlie doesn't grow gills and survive, or if some other random shit doesn't happen and Charlie doesn't come back, I'm done with Lost. It's been my favorite show since Season 1, BECAUSE of Charlie. BECAUSE of Dominic Monaghan.
I'm going to watch the first few episodes to see what's going to happen. No more Charlie, no more watch-y.

You should keep on watchin' it.. :)
(but I liked very much your season finale report)
Oh my god, I actually got a comment!
I didn't actually think anyone was reading this, I was just kind of rambling to myself.
I don't know if I will keep watching or not. It all depends, i guess!
Technically, Charlie comes back in S04E01, and I don't mean in a flashback. And yes, you should keep watching since the first 2 episodes happen to be awesome.
@dennis:
I've been watching Season 4. I almost cried when Charlie showed up! I have hopes he'll continue to show up. Besides that, I am now utterly in love with Daniel Faraday, hehe. Although he does not replace my beloved Charlie, he kicks ass anyway.
Based on your continued presence on DarkUFO, I'm glad to see you decided to stick w/ the series :)
I have to say, we pretty much had the same reaction when they killed Charlie off. Difference on my end was that I'd seen only the first ep of S3, had missed some eps and decided to wait till the end to catch up all at once, and then found myself tuning in to the finale for some reason anyway.
So I had pretty much no idea that it'd been set up and a long time coming throughout the season when *SURPRISE* Charlie sacrificed himself and drowned. I was literally shouting at the TV screen as it happened, telling Charlie that he could swim out the porthole when the pressure equalized, and exclaiming how they couldn't (and proclaimed they wouldn't) kill him once I realized Charlie wasn't going to heed my advice on how to save himself...
And then I cried. No more Charlie, nor more moments of Charlie & Claire... *tear* One of the main reasons I tuned into the show in the first place was gone. But I kept watching, hoping for some sort of resolution to why it happened. And now I'm hoping to see what's happened to Claire, and waiting to see why Desmond's flash didn't come true (and, yes, to see him struck w/ some sort of guilt that Claire and Aaron didn't wind up in that helicopter with him, leaving the Island).
Now I've got t-shirts that have his finger-tape and the word FATE on them, and one that says "Not Penny's boat". And I'm still hoping, still watching. Waiting for another scene w/ Charlie. Faith manages, or so the saying goes...
Forever in my thoughts, Keeping Pace :)
