as someone who can't be bothered to watch Lost, what are some of the reasons given for him remaining fat?

[-] Davel23@fedia.io 133 points 2 months ago

I recall something about him finding a case of candy bars in the plane's wreckage, and hiding them so he could have them all to himself.

They find an abandoned station full of nonperishable food supplies and he becomes the person in charge of supply rationing.

Also I think at one point they pull the "I tried, but I just can't seem to lose the weight" card and kinda give up.

But most importantly, if he lost a ton of weight those time travel episodes would be tough to track!

Meanwhile Huell Babineaux is slim and trim in Better Call Saul, massive in Breaking Bad, then back to slim and trim in the Better Call Saul scenes that take place after Breaking Bad.

Slim trim?! He was smaller yea, to be nice I might even use svelte. But he was still a big guy.

Asking Lost to give you answers is the reason none of us talk about Lost.

The opening text image did explicitly say that the writers did come up with explanations.

Hurley was only on the island for 108 days before being rescued. As he said on the show "I'm a big guy, it's gonna be a while before I lose a few notches". 108 days isn't a massive amount of time.

In season two he did hoard some food from The Hatch for himself, but then when the 2nd food drop came he ultimately gave it all away (served as part of his character arc). There was never a 3rd drop of food in the show.

This is just a silly meme it's best not to judge the show from it. They don't "keep making up excuses".

One of if not the best TV show ever produced, don't listen to the haters. Check it out someday

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

yeah you can have criticisms of the show but most i hear is from motherfuckers who still think they died in the crash
