Heyy it's 02:22am in my country and I just finished Lost series. I can't believe I'm done watching this masterpiece even though I was so confused at some point 😭. When Jack's father opened the door from the church, the word "found" literally came to me and I shed a tear realizing I'm never gonna know the feeling of watching this series the first time.

Actually, I'm a big fan of Ian Somerhalder from TVD that's why I watched Lost. Boone was the reason I started but Jack became my reason to continue throughout.

Thank you to everyone who made this series possible!!

Lots of love from 🇵🇭

I know they were brought to the island because of Jacob to find a new protector of the island, but it’s also said the reason they were brought there was to connect with each other to move on to the afterlife together because the connections they all made was the most important thing in there life’s. So how is it both?

Maybe this has been discussed but find it hilarious that sawyer and michael are on the raft and once michael is done having a breakdown, sawyer looks up and BOOM the ENTIRE island is visible.

They... they didn't see it get closer gradually?

Hello! I’ve watched Lost several times and this is my husbands first time - he has some time travel questions and I’m realizing that I’ve never thought too hard about some of it, and don’t know how to answer his questions! Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

So, my understanding is that the losties on the island during the flashes can’t change the past. Faraday explains it to Sawyer when he’s pounding on the hatch door, he says something along the lines of “You can’t get anyone to come to the door because it never happened, so it can never happen.” Plus the Eloise explanation from s3 about how the universe will course correct even if you try to change it.

Obviously we know these rules don’t apply to Desmond, but then why does Richard remember to go help Locke with his leg after being shot? Rousseau remembers Jin when he disappeared from the temple and reappeared at the beach, but doesn’t recognize him nearly twenty years later when he crashes?

My instinct is to say she didn’t recognize him because he hadn’t flashed back in time yet, but wouldn’t that make her just like Desmond, capable of having a memory pop back into mind like a dream?

How come Michael and Walt weren't there at the end?

Ever admit to killing her father? She always denies it. Or says "what I supposedly did" as if we as the audience didn't watch her do it. Right until the very last episode, not once does she say "I murdered my own father". Pair that with all the "my son" and constantly fucking the group over and landing them in hot water by acting like a know-it-all and following them everywhere Kate's one of the worst people on the island and the fact she was a candidate is laughable.

I’m on rewatch number ??? I don’t even know at this point but today Sawyer came out with one line that cracked me up for ages. Him and Kate were on the beach and Jack came walking over and Sawyer goes “Oh happy day, here comes Dr Giggles” 🤭 the delivery just made me laugh. What are your favourite Sawyer one liners?

It’s a show about purpose.

Lost was a show I grew up watching. I had a season of Lost for every year of high school. I rewatched each season over and over between seasons. I was following theories online and loved having the overall mystery of the show to play with in my mind for all those years.

The show was built on mystery, some quick and small, some huge and constant. The concept of a mystery implies an answer, which means there is meaning and purpose to what is happening and its not all just random.

The characters themselves are all lost in life, sent to the island to look for their purpose.

“The island isn’t done with you yet.”

The very fact that the big mystery of the numbers and the candidates ended up being a resounding singular purpose was and is perfect.

Jack was the most ‘lost’ character. Having a singular job that was almost metaphorical in its conception and description allowed for his character to exemplify that search for meaning in all of us. If you have ever asked yourself: “what is my purpose in life?” and been dissatisfied with the answers people usually give, then hearing “your purpose is to be the guardian of all that is good in the world and protect it from pure evil” would be a a pretty gratifying response.

Basically, Lost is a show about lost characters trying to find purpose, wrapped up in a show with the very promise of purpose in its structure. And without anything like it in my life anymore, it feels like life has no purpose.

I've watched the show several times, bit of a die hard fan. But,I just noticed in 'the incident part 2' Dr Chang has his hand injured by a piece of metal. The same injury is shown in the Swan instructional video in a hand wrap.

I've heard from several sources that they never had a plan on how to finish the show which to me seems unrealistic considering the complexity of the smoke monster, the island rules, the time jump etc.

Did they always have a plan? And any evidence of similar time jump planning such as Dr Chang's injured hand?

Hi i was wondering about all appearances of "ghosts" during all seasons and the one that was bothering me the most is Christian. In two moments, Michael's death and Jack after leaving the island, at the hospital. I replied on other post about Michael death the following

"If think this appearance respects the distance of "island's radius". The apperance only occurs when the freighter is moving towards the islands, crossing that "time/area" barrier. The proof of that is that Jin also time travels with the others in mainland, that is proof for the freighter being on the island radius and so reacheable for MiB.

For me the question of Christian ghost remains for the appearance to Jack at the Hospital (with that funny clue of the smoke alarm being disconected before the appearance).

So my theory is that Jacob and MiB never ever leave the island in flesh but used the island power to transcend them to espiritual beings.

And i am supposing that the island do not have direct effect over anyone outside the island, it does not have will. All story is just a huge gameboard like it was a "game of checkers" like displayed in the origin story between the two brothers. And in this case the rules where made by Jacob like when MiB told him that when he created a game he could create the rules. The island is just raw power, manipulated by the two brothers.

It’s obviously not his girlfriend Helen because the timelines simply don’t line up. Is this just something that the show retconned later on? Is she a sex worker? The show doesn’t make this very clear.

When I watched it live I remember him saying "My name is Henry Gale. I'm from Minnesota. I'm a school teacher!". But in all my rewatches, he doesn't say it. Anyone else remember this?

Does someone have a timeline of when things happened (I know this is an insane ask with a show with flashsideways). I really am just wondering about like time on the island. Like they are on it for 108 days, got that. But like when did Juliet join the group? How long were Jack,Kate, Sawyer in the cages? How many days were the Oceanic 6 back on the island before “the incident”. So much happens SO fast. There HAS to be a link with a general timeline. It would make me so happy!

So, I have been rewatching season 6 for the first time since 2010. I find myself having trouble getting through it. There is good moments (Ben and Locke stuff, especially at the beginning of the season, Jack and Locke in the sideways, Sawyer and Kate stuff...), but in general it feels pretty slow.

I don't like the temple stuff. It feels like very shallow mythology inserted in the narrative just for the sake of adding more mysteries. It is not very organic or thought out, I find. The only exception to this would be Sundown, especially the ending with smokey attacking the temple and all. Actually, this may be my most vivid memory of watching this ep for the first time because it was soooo creepy, sooo horror movie like and so cool. It still is lol.

I don't like much the Illana stuff on the beach, because I didn't have time or reasons to get attached to these characters and the why they are doing what they do.

I also have trouble with the Sayid with sickness stuff. I mean, he has came back from the death, why? Is it Flocke that brought him back because he thought he could manipulate him (and he did at the end of the ep)? Why does Sayid talk with Flocke for two minutes and is suddenly really weird? Did Flocke give something to him or did he convince or show him he could make him see Nadia as well? Sayid died and came back. For the two hours he was dead, was he in the sideways with Nadia, then brought back, or was he a prisonner of the island like Michael because he was not a good person and needed to redeem himself (the ep made sure to highlight Sayid doesn't think himself a good person worthy of Nadia, so that would make thematic sense). That suppose what he does later in the season with the submarine is enough to redeem himself and make him able to move on. Anyways, Sayid is written to be a bit unidimensional in this episode and thats too bad. At least he has a scene with Kate in which they stand pretty close (yeppp thats my crackship haha).

The Claire stuff makes me cringe a little. Not very good acting here, just...too much. Are we supposed to believe Claire will get off island and suddenly feels well enough to take care of Aaron at the end????

The lighthouse stuff was pretty cool though. I loved Hurley kind of taking the lead and being Jacob's messenger already. I loved Jack going back to his past self instead of staying calm and breaking the mirror. Are we meant to believe the mirrors shows the past of Jacob's candidates so he knows when to intervene? Or maybe it shows the flashsideways?

The Locke and the Kate sideways are my favorite up to now. Loved Locke being happy with Helene and not accepting not being able to walk, I love seeing Aaron's two mommies being there for the delivery. But...hmmm I think the next épisodes are Ben and Sawyer centrics and I remember them being prettyyyy good so I'm sure my favorite sideways will change. They are interesting in general, but the themes are a bit repetitive to me, especially Sundown's.

Edit: Are we supposed to believe Dogen used to be one of Jacob's candidate? Because Jacob went to him at an important moment and saved his son. Jacob also brought him to the island.

Edit2: Yeppp, just finished Dr Linus and I confirm LOST is back. What a formidable arc this character has. HIM CHOOSING ALEX OVER THE JOB IN THE SIDEWAY UGHHH. What got me though, and thats a bit stupid, is fucking Ben Linus going to Sun to help her with her tarp. Fucking Ben Linus, leader of the others. Also, the ending with Jack, Hurley and Richard arriving by this famous corner of the beach that got used for so many scenes of characters meeting each others again over the years. Yeppp, this is where I cried lol.

I read something the other day about their projected budget reducing because of the 2008 financial crash, and that they changed elements as a result (correct me if that's inaccurate). is there anything you wish you could have seen more of? I'm rewatching S5E8 and >!the huge statue Miles spots!< makes me wish for a bit longer in that time

Spoiler Alert, obviously

Why wasn't Richard, the pilot guy, Mike, Walt and Vincent in the church at the end?

Why didn't Ben enter the church? What else dis he have to do?

Wtf do they mean by let go? Are they going to heaven?

Btw, what the fuck WAS the island? Was it hell? Did we ever find out?

Also how is sawyer, kate and hurley at the church if they didn't even die? Didnt they escape by airplane?

And what is the sideways supposed to be? Why do they remember the sideways if they are dead?

I got so many questions I don't even know where to start from so could someone clue me in, at least on these? Thanks

Reading the comments, I realized I completely missed thr point of the show. I never got anything about letting go of the past or how is the island magical

SPOILER ALERT.

Or who was inside Christian's? I've been wondering this because if you have seen season 5 will have questions about it after you know who's back..

Did the drive shaft song ever make it to the charts? It’s quite catchy!

hello,

i wonder if there is any information about chriatian shepard's death? he was talking to sawyer a week before the crash. somehow it interested me

i watched the series skipping some things because i was busy with something else and it's time to fix the mistakes and watch it again.

Greetings

Definition Im using, a death of a character who had so much build up/potential but they were just killed off too soon or didn't get the death they deserved

My answer >!danielle rousseau, she had so much history/lore and after FINALLY getting to meet her daughter just gets killed by an off screen gunmen. Never to be spoken of again in any meaningful way!<

MOST UPVOTED COMMENT WINS.

Don’t forget to think ahead! A character might fit better somewhere else.

If yes, give me link NOW.

If not, someone should. At this point in my first rewatch since the series aired (end of S3) it's becoming comical. The level of collective brain damage this lot has endured is on another level.
