BUT, I paused to write this in the middle of "316" because I just laughed out loud at two lines in a row. This marks the first and second times I have laughed out loud at this show.
lawlz moment #1: Frank Lapidus deadpanning "We're not going to Guam, are we?"
lawlz moment #2: Jack, to Ben - " How can you read?" Ben, to Jack: "My mother taught me."

I'd be shocked that if after you've completed the entire series, you don't come to the same conclusion that I have about the show.
Enjoy!
PS - If you haven't read my post about the series finale, don't. It'll ruin your experience.
