Just finished watching with my sons

My first born was 3 months old when LOST played its last episode. It felt great watching the whole series again with my two sons now, felt like sharing. No need to say everyone teared up. Best show ever.

Let's talk about the cliffhangers

I love a good cliffhanger in shows, but I feel there was just too many 'Plot twist reveal cliffhangers'

I really wish we had got at least a few cliffhangers were it showed the main cast in some kind of situation, like the end of that Season 6 Episode where Sawyer, Kate, hurley and the rest that got on Hydra island and then Witmoors team were gonna shoot them and i wish that would have been the cliffhanger

Or in Season 3 I wish that that scene where the other is about to shoot sawyer that was a cliffhanger too

What do you guys think

Sawyer and Charlie with Kate and Claire in the medical station

When I was watching it. I always remember expecting Sawyer and Charlie to turn up and help in Maternity Leave.

Now I think it would have been a good concept for several reasons.

Continue Sawyer and Charlie working together since the long con.

Sawyer and Charlie like them and want to help. They both know how dangerous it is out there and it's literally where Claire was taken while Charlie was hung. Charlie also wants Claire back so actually trying to help when Aaron is sick could help her trust him again. Sawyer wants Aaron to shut up to give him peace and quiet.

Sawyer and Kate argue over him coming especially with Charlie after what he did to her.

Charlie and Claire forced to confront both of their issues and insecurities. Begin the path to recovery towards the end of season.

Sawyer and Kate discover the acting kit and that they're putting on a show but not why. Both decide to keep it from Jack as their secret.

After they fail to find anything. Claire goes down to the part of the beach where Sawyer and Charlie are and thanks them both for helping today but just needed a bit of space for a while which Charlie accepts.

Really thought this because it was really character focused but also really would have fit to confront all four characters issues from the previous three episodes of fire and water, the long con, and one of them.

Watched lost 3 times, and rewarching it now after 10 years. This is amazing

Since it became available on Netflix, I started watching it and could not stop it, and finished it in 7 days, the same way I did 10 years ago. I am so happy I couldnt remember any details and many stories, so it was like watching the first time. It was my favorite series 10 years ago, forgot about that and it became again my favorite of all time.

We'll never see another series like LOST again

It's been over a decade now since LOST ended. Ever since then I've been trying to find my LOST "fix" so to speak, desperately searching for a series that can make me feel the same way LOST made me feel. The amazon series The Wilds was the closest thing to a spiritual successor to LOST that we ever got, but it just wasn't enough. Is there any Pilot opening to a series that is as gripping, mysterious, and epic as LOST's? I literally can't think of any in recent memory or the past decade. This series was so well written, a product of its time, a lightning in the bottle moment in TV history. I came upon the realization that no series will ever come close to matching LOST, even if they rebooted the series with the same plot and character stories, it wouldn't be the same

It's tv magic that the passengers happened to compliment each other so well, in real life that would be unlikely..

I get that it's a tv show so that is the point.

But in real life it's unlikely all the passengers would be the same age range and all understand each other pretty well, most are athletic and can handle the rough life of the island. I know it is still diverse in the sense that they were a few people of a different age range ( Walt, lock, Rose and Bernard) but most of the core group is the same range. And yes there was a bit of diversity in terms of figures, Hurley wasn't athletic and in terms of ethnicities ( white American, Korean, Iraqi, black American) but overall they just mashed together pretty well. In real life stranded with fellow passengers you don't know, it would be quite difficult.

Why is Hurley on the Korean news

Hi guys, I’m watching lost for the first time and I just found this subreddit. In season 1 episode 17 we see Jin-Soo going into the other Korean man’s house to deliver a message from Sun father. For a brief second, we can see that Hurley is on the tv, but why would he be on the Korean news? He won the lottery in America (if i remember correctly), so it makes no sense to him to be on the Korean news.

Family, couple and work relationships in Lost

Today I was thinking that the characters in Lost can be grouped according to whether they were affected by:

  1. their families

  2. their partners

  3. their jobs

Affected by their families:

  • Ben and his father
  • Jack and his father
  • Kate and her biological father
  • Faraday and his mother
  • Locke and his biological father
  • Michael and his son
  • Sawyer and his parents
  • Sun and his father
  • Jin and his parents
  • Claire and her son
  • Ana Lusía and her mother
  • Alex, his mother and father
  • Charles Widmore and daughter
  • Danielle and daughter
  • Mr. Eko and his brother
  • Charlie and his brother
  • Jacob, the Man in black, his biological mother and stepmother
  • Etc.

Affected by their partners:

  • Sayid and his girlfriend
  • Hugo and his girlfriend
  • Rose and Bernard
  • Boone and Shannon
  • Nikki and Paulo
  • Desmond and Penelope
  • Juliet and Sawyer
  • Harper and Goodwin Stanhope
  • Etc.

Affected by their jobs:

  • Ethan
  • Edward Mars
  • Arzt (?)
  • Richard Alpert
  • Tom Friendly
  • Mikhail
  • Bonnie
  • Greta
  • Matthew Abaddon
  • Etc.

Some fall into more than one category, such as Jack, who was affected by his father, by his partner(s) on the island, and by his work as a doctor and a leader.

Foreshadowing MiB

In season 3 episode 5 when Eko is injured and headed for the plane his brother came in he stops at a creek to drink water and the smoke monster creeps up behind him then leaves when Eko turns around to face it. A second later John emerges from the tree line at the same creek. Is this foreshadowing and I'm JUST now realizing this?

What did you think the smoke monster was?

During Season 2 I was convinced the Smockey is some weird Dharma experiment that went rogue and killed the Dharma members. I wonder if people had some other crazy ideas?

question re finale

It took me 4 weeks to watch the show from pilot to finale and it was my first time watching. I had a million questions throughout the show that I would've liked to be answered by watching the show but I accept that its not that kind of show. Now that I'm done watching and engaging with info online, I've settled on one question:

Do we know WHEN everybody/anyone dies?

Finished the finale and immediately started over? Something delicious about seeing where we started.

This is a habit I generally have with any long-form television (sopranos, mad men, gilmore girls) but something about Lost made me especially *need* to start over and at least watch two or three episodes immediately. Maybe it was the call-backs to the first episode (jacks eyes, the sneaker hanging in the bamboo, vincent comforting jack?) Anyone else out there immediately pulling up episode one within seconds of the finale?

This is my second run through since I finished the first time in 2013 (one of my first "binge watching experiences)

I'm afraid i'll get "lost" again and end up watching it all over again *cry emoji cry emoji cry emoji*

Happy 20th anniversary y'all! Anyone who hates on the finale is objectively wrong! It was so delicious :'''')

The first ‘bad’ episode I’ve seen.

I’m watching the show for the first time and just saw the episode ‘expóse’ (S3E14). Honestly it was really bad, Paulo and Nikki were not remotely likeable and it seems like they were only created to briefly expand the cast. The entire ‘thing’ Lost has going for it is that it makes you root for so many characters who are objectively bad people but with Nikki and Paulo I couldn’t help but hate them. The episode contributed nothing to the plot and honestly shouldn’t have aired, imo.

Do you think the bermuda triangle inspired lost in some ways?

I ve heard that ships and boats get lost in that area, not sure about planes. Considering you can't easily find the island, it does a lot like the bermuda triandle.

Spoiler: ending for some relationships doesn’t make sense

So we know that the flash sideways were kinda the purgatory before moving on, the ones figured out what happened and where they actually were, they did it with the people that were most important to them, they come to the church together once they’re ready to move on and moved on. What seems ridiculous is with some people they’re with their soulmates like Juliet&Sawyer and Kate&Jack and they move eternally together, which makes sense, but some of them are ridiculous like Hugo and Libbie, Sayid and Shannon. Like they weren’t the love of their lives, Sayid was mad in love with his soulmate Nadia, and Libbie apparently had a husband she loved deeply. Hugo and Shannon were kinda like island love and but Sayid and Libbie are not gonna move on to real eternal life with the actual significant others? Never made sense to me

I just finished watching Lost for the 1st time, why does the ending have the reputation of being disappointing?

Like the ending to me was perfectly done, I had to hold back tears while watching it, I don't get why there were so many jokes and criticisms of it being underwhelming over the years

Noticed Something in the episode Ji Yeon in season 4

i am up to this episode at the moment so please dont spoil anything but i noticed that the date it says that Jin died on the gravestone in korean is the same day that the Oceanic flight 815 crashed. i am wondering if this means anything, but the main reason i am making this post is because i am feeling clever for noticing this but i am not sure if this is something that is going to be explained soon or if it is foreshadowing. please dont spoil.
