I haven’t watched the show in a few months, due to less time during semesters as a student, but I want to continue. My next episode is S5 E11- Whatever Happened, Happened. Can someone tell me how to catch up on current events in the show? Should I look up summaries of past seasons? Should i restart season 5? I really don’t think I have time to restart the whole show because I’m worried I won’t finish it again. No negative comments please I just want to finish the series I really enjoy it.

From the top of your head, what was the most flawed decision you can recall?

Not too sure what to do in my free time now tbh.

Wasn't a massive fan of how the finale went down but this part really hit me 🥲

(glad Jack saw this before passing)

How did you guys feel after it was all officially over?

I have this sudden urge to be closer to my family rn 🙃

Have you watched the new film on Netflix called "The Lost Children"? I just finished binging the entire Lost series weeks ago and I can't help but laugh because in the new film, they were only stranded for 40. I feel like if I watch the film, I'll just compare everything to Lost hahaha.

Just got to the episode where Charlie dies and I definitely think it’s his fault. He could’ve escaped through the hatch and locked incoming flood or swam through the window. Definitely annoyed that this is something that could’ve been avoided. His death does not seem justified in the sense of it was “unavoidable”. What do you guys think?

Found a stray cameraman during the launch of the raft. Season 1 Ep 5 07:50

Really? Like really? This is what becomes of Dr. Jack Shepherd??! And Kate? She settles down with someone other than Jack or Sawyer?

Wow, this flash forward thing really got me but man am I sad that all these characters we love are going to have a terrible future. Guess the island we have grown to love is also gonna big us farewell soon, huh?

Charlie's death was so sad but honestly it could have been done better. It seemed like there was enough time for both him and Desmond to escape back the way they came. Perhaps the fact that he was so sure he was gonna die messed with his decision making.

Please no spoilers but just answer me this:

Does this have a happy ending or have I not been paying attention?

I watched LOST all the way through when I was 12 back in 2013. I watched bits and pieces in the years after but now is the first time I’ve sat through the show since I first watched it all those years ago.

Currently on S2E8 “Collision”, and while I’m extremely annoyed by Ana-Lucia, one thing I’m looking forward to is her death episode! Whenever she annoys the fuck out of me I remind myself that it’s only temporary.

Of all the batshit things that happen on Lost, I think my favorite is that Locke never tells Jack—a literal spinal surgeon—that he was formerly paralyzed. Of all the 900,000 times they’re doing their “man of science/man of faith” thing, he never feels like maybe he should drop that into the convo.

Maybe for story reasons, they can’t confront Jack with "evidence" at certain points. But I feel like it actually would have made an interesting plot point for Jack to eventually be confronted with “science” that “proves” “faith.”

Jack’s move (at least in the early seasons) would probably be to reflexively say that somehow the crash fixed him by [insert medical jargon]…but he’d have to struggle with it…

Ok, I watched the entire series. Can someone sum up wtf happened ?

I mean after a freakin meteor hit the chicken restaurant how could anyone call him crazy. Crazy shit went down around him all the time. The man’s plane went down for petes sake.

Usually i see a link to all the episode discussions, im no longer seeing it in the app. Does anyone know why?

So I just finished watching Lost for the very first time. Love the show!! Sawyer and Sun are my absolute favorites on the show. Anyways the ending is confusing to me. So was everyone on the island already dead and the island was like a purgatory before they moved on? And what about Hugo when he was the one who was supposed to be taking care of the island, did he die on the island because he was with everyone in that church when they were moving on. Ugh I have so many questions but if I type them all I’ll be writing an essay

I watched bits of early lost when it came out briefly and remember it so entirely differently. Currently watching blind and I KNOW this motherfucker is a baddie and he’s gonna be either the big bad or real close anyways its crazy that sayid is from iraq (me too) and they actually got the iraqi word for bullshit right

Rewatching and I made it to the final episode, I am laughing so hard when Miles pulls out Richard’s grey hair and says, “welcome to the club” and it pans to Richard who has more than several grey hairs, they didn’t even try to hide them.

Just finished Lost for the first time. What’s a good show to watch now with a similar vibe and mystery? Not Dark or anything too scary sorry I’m a wimp.

SPOILER

I’m watching right now and the French found Jin in the water and they are walking to the radio tower

How come Rosseau never remembered Jin or mentioned a Korean guy helped her and her team?

First time watching the series so please as little spoilers as possible but like is there a reason no one on the island seems to think resources are limited. They just seem to constantly be wasting stuff like doing target practice when they have like 1000 rounds of ammo total, just straight throwing out food and medical supplies. Is there an explanation for this later or anything because it's constantly taking me out of the show.

Which one of them had the worse childhood in your opinion

I’m inclined to think it was Sawyer. Yes it shaped him to be who he is as an adult but he somehow always managed to come on top.

But Locke’s childhood didn’t seem to be so traumatic until it caught up with him as an adult.

I’m excited to watch! There will be a live Q&A after as well with some folks.

I’m currently in the middle of my third rewatch (on the S2 finale) and am getting so pumped for the documentary. I really hope it’s good!

I just finished watching Lost for the third time!! Amazing show 👏👏.I know a common debate is: Were they dead the whole time or was everything real? I think it clearly explains that everything was real and actually happened! But I think the wreckage end credits confused some people into thinking they were dead the whole time.

One debate I don't see often is specifically about the end credit wreckage scene. Everyone always talks about it being Oceanic 815. In the scene, Jack and Vincent are laying on the bed of the forest watching the plane fly over. Kate, Sawyer, Claire, Lapidus, Richard, and Miles were on that plane leaving the island. Then it shows plane wreckage. My takeaway? It was supposed to hint at it being THAT plane.

When Locke (the man in black) leads Richard and Ben to the crashed Beachcraft, (so that Richard will tend to real John's time traveled bullet wound) he says they're going to the plane, to which Ben responds, "What plane?"

That would be the same plane hanging above (and later, crashing on) the monitoring station hatch, which the others should have ample knowledge of. We see Ben and Juliet visiting that station in Paulo and Nicky's flashbacks. And cosidering what we know about the plane, it should've crashed well within Ben's lifetime, possibly even after the Dharma purge.

I know i am going to get downvoted to hell but i don't think that Anthony Cooper, is a bad person in relation to his son, John.

First of all, he found and reunited with his, until recently unknown, son. He took him out for hunting and taught him stuff, he embraced him, gave him love and a much needed father figure even though he was dying of kidney failure. All this love and embracement led to John wanting to help him and save his life by donating one of his kidneys against his father's strong objections. Anthony didn't misrepresent himself, didn't offer false information, he simply stated the facts, it was john who was "donating" his kidney and expected stuff in return(his dad being there and continuing their relationship etc), that is not donating.

Eventually, Anthony sensed his son neediness and that something was wrong and wanted to keep his distance from him, but instead his senses turned out to be right and john evolved to a tireless and obsessive stalker. Anthony being proactive and peaceful, tried moving to a different residence but John found him again and continued with his obsessive stalking. Anthony then tried to very calmly and peacefully talk with john and convince him to stop stalking him, but John continued to the point where it became an obsessive–compulsive disorder and destroyed his life in the process. This, of course, forced Anthony to move away and start a new life with a new woman in his life.

That's, until, the son of his new love didn't like that she shifted her attention from him to Anthony, so he tried to build a case against him by visiting John. John, of course, instead of helping him or going to the police, found his chance to rekindle his old obsessive stalking but also take it up an notch this time, by threatening Anthony and trying to destroy his new life. Anthony couldn't turn away his newfound love so he ignored john, but john continued with his pursuit to destroy his life by visiting him again. This time, Anthony seeing his new happy life turning to ashes acted impulsively and pushed him away from the phone while not realizing that john could hit the window and break it. Anthony seeing john flying out the window and knowing that he managed to destroy his new life by opening him up to charges and prison, fled to Mexico to get away from him.

While Anthony was away his fatherly instincts kicked in and stole 700k from some bad guys and found his son so he could try to repair his relationship with him and make up whatever damage he could by offering him a whopping 200k to spend on his girlfriend. Of course, John with his issues, lied and destroyed his relationship with Helen and blamed it on his dad, Anthony, like everything else. Anthony even got slapped for no reason by john's girlfriend.

The final nail on the coffin was that John's obsession with Anthony led to the others abducting him, illegally restraining and transporting him to the island so that John could torture and kill him and grow out his obsession with him(which he created himself).

Yes, Anthony conned some people for money but was his crime so great that he deserved to die an agonizing death? There is no legal system in the developed world that punishes fraud with death.

Edit: Keep downvoting, i am just offering a different perspective on the show. And nowhere do we see that Anthony killed the son of the woman.

Edit 2: I guess i have to point it out a third time Anthony Cooper is not a bad person IN RELATION TO HIS SON, of course in general he was a serious criminal and should be in jail for many many years. I am focusing on his relationship with his son because that's what the writers focused on. The writers while they took a pretty grey stance on all the main characters, showing us that yes they have a bad side but also a good side. In the case of Anthony Cooper they took a pretty black and white stance and force fed us that he is an evil bad guy that deserves to die, showing us only the perspective of John.

All of you taking this holier-than-thou stance i want to see you defend all the serious crimes your favorite characters have committed.

I just started watching Lost because I heard a lot about it and I like watching something while doing uni-work. I am on episode 5 right now, I like it, but I am not hooked. How long does it take to get into it?

Always wondered what they all did for a week while hanging on Penny’s boat before they set up the fake “rescue plan”.

What do you think they did? Wrong answers only.

Hey folks, I just started watching Lost for the first time, and even though I have heard things about the ending, I still want to start the journey. However when I was googling one of the main actors, that stupid AI section at the top of Google search told me that the character he plays, Jack, dies. I tried to avoid spoilers for so long and it forced it upon me. I was so pissed. I don’t know how he dies or when, but it’s bothering me. I am still going to watch it but do you guys think knowing this is going to ruin the experience for me? I’m hoping that his death will be interesting and unpredictable at least.
