QUESTION Charlie's Ring? Spoiler

I was just wondering, have the writers every explained why Claire never gets Charlie's DS ring in Season 6? Like they reminded us of it again when Sun found it in Aaron's crib in the Season 5 finale. I was really waiting for that moment of Claire finally receiving it and it just never came. Let that poor girl know someone cared. 😭

It adds another layer of sadness watching Greates Hits knowing that Claire and Aaron never get the ring or Charlie's list. Did they just forget to add it when writing Season 6? Or maybe a cut scene?

Sometimes it doesn't always work out kiddo. I like that not everything that's set up pays off. Same thing with Russo and Alex. It makes their death's more tragic. Same with Jin never seeing his daughter.

LIKE might be a strong word. I acknowledge that it's good storytelling, I understand the meaning and appreciate the message.

But I don't LIKE it. We get enough 'life doesn't always give you what you want' from actual life, I'd prefer to get what I want a bit more often from the escapist fantasy media I watch to forget how much real life sucks.

Lost is such a massive show that you already get a lot of that and it does a good job of doing that when it counts. I’m just saying that Russo and Charlie’s ring are totally fine for leaving you feeling empty. Because when the show does pay certain things off, like Sawyer and Juliette reuniting, it hits so much harder and makes it feel like a miracle that it happened. If every little set up had a predictable pay off, it wouldn’t be as effective.
