i cannot wait until kate and jack and sawyer escape. i'm on s3e4 (please no spoilers) and the others keep coining themselves as the "good ones" and they literally are operating on the crash survivors and doing all types of inhumane experiments/treatment. so frustrating to me. them installing a PACEMAKER is insanity.

also why don't they keep the 3 together?

side bar: they sent michael and walt off but we never see them again (at least in the first 4 eps) and that's crazy to cut them out and not at least circle back to that plot line four episodes into the season.

also, s3 feels very slow in comparison to what else is going on. i also feel like there are several plot lined that appeared and never were explained.

then, the audacity of them to ask JACK to help one of them is even crazier to me. the fact he even did help is mind boggling to me. i know he's all mr good but him helping them is sooo aggravating. glad she didn't make it though cus the others deserve every bad thing that happens to them!

so the intro shows a lot of characters getting introduce it has an annoying orange vibe because they got big mouths and heads not really sure but I remember one of the episode shows 2 scientist on a laboratory experimenting a bottle with virus and the bottle fell causing one of the character to turn into a zombie that's it I didn't watch the full episode and that's the only details that can help me find the channel I used to watch on YouTube when I was a kid

Just binged everything in two weeks on my second monitor and I may of missed out on some important points that I don’t think ever got cleared.just finished it and I’m crying big time

1. Why 108 minutes?
2. Why did the others take children
3. Why did they have to input those specific numbers
4. Why did Jacob’s fake mother kill the real mother and make them stay in the island
5. So the whole alternative timeline in S6 wasn’t actually created by Jack at the end of S5 like I thought it’s just the afterlife?
6. Jack knew his dad’s body was gone in season 1 and never mentioned it or thought about it again until season 6??? I was wondering about that the whole time.
7. What actually happened to Claire and sayid? Were they possessed in the end?
8. Did the people on the plane at the end survive?
9. I’m also assuming Hugo and Ben looked after the island happily for many years but idk
10. Why am I crying so much

EDIT: thanks guys that clears it all up. Man it’s so good the ending was so good but so sad at the same time I wish I knew what everyone got up to after jacks death :’(

It’s a 2D game where you have to swing the person on a rope from trees. You can go into space too but I have no idea what the game it called and I can’t find it ANYWHERE!

That moment on the beach where Sayid tripped the guy, snapped his neck, and looked at Sawyer with no response or reaction!!!

Never enjoyed a character so much in the entire show.

Im sure I can’t be the only one who feels this way.

so i just watched and finished season 1 for the first time ever and it’s an absolute banger. i don’t know why some people criticise the show, it’s not incoherent. sure, its full of mysteries (which i love btw) but the writers handled that perfectly, everything is so well-crafted. the dynamics between the characters are so cool, i’m at the edge of my sit at almost every episodes. it’s very good. for now, my favourite character is John Locke. he’s exactly the kind of character i was hoping to discover in this kind of story, i absolutely love everything about him. i like all of the characters except maybe Jack (i don’t know if it’s an unpopular opinion?) i don’t dislike him, he’s just not my type of character, i find him too simple and he gets on my nerves sometimes.

side notes: there’s just one thing that bothered me throughout the show, it’s not very important but i felt like i had to point it out xD i speak french and arabic fluently and rousseau’s french and sayid’s arabic were very bad and i found it kind of unfortunate. but as i said, it’s not important. im very curious to see how this amazing story goes

I got a friend into the show, and he's now on season 6 (Lighthouse) and obsessed with Locke. He thinks Locke is everything in the show, like the most important character.

Anyway, he's angry with the writers for killing him and basically hates the other characters.Do you think Locke is that magnificent?

I think he's important and had a special relationship with the Island, but not to the point of hating other characters because of it.Maybe I'm missing something about him?

(I've already saw the show a few times)

This will contain spoilers about the first three episodes of season 1.

After more than twenty years, I got the chance to rewatch it. As most of you, I wasn't too happy about the ending, but perhaps I got more open and tolerant throughout the years. But I now actually feel I got more cynical.

!It starts with the first scenes of the first episode. It is almost like a scene from the Naked Gun (or Airplane!). We see someone who is obviously a good doctor and the plane has crashed. People yelling, running and helping eachother. But the doctor finds someone trapped under a gigantic plane engine. He drags him out and sees from the corner of his eye a pregnant girl in trouble, so he runs over there. Then he sees a woman who is been unsuccesfully resuscitated, so he runs over there. But the pregnant girl is about to get hit by a wing! So he runs from drama to drama and I thought it was more funny than intended. !<

!In episode 3 everybody is already relaxed. While some are dragging bodies from the plane, others are having some relaxed conversations or are sunbathing.!<

!Then we have episode 3. Some is badly injured, will not going to make it and suffers immensely for a long time. Sawyer ends up shooting him out of mercy. Big moment of doctor who want sto safe people and the savage who wants dignity, that kind of thing. But the bloke isn't dead. Doctor says it will take hours now. Also very naked gun-esque.!<

Is it me? Am I so disconnected that I find funny what I used to experience as real drama?

Edit: thank you for confirming it is me :-)

But still it reminded me of this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=L3QkIruVNEI and this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J2_tJIgfnDA

Hello everyone! My friend suggested this show to me based on some of my other preferences. So far, I am six episodes in and am really enjoying it. They suggested that a good way to watch the show was not to binge it (wait at least a couple of days between episodes), try to watch with other first time viewers (to discuss theories and such), and pretend that I don’t speak Korean during the un-subtitled Korean portions. I’m wondering if you all think that would affect the viewing experience. I feel like it would be minor and I’d rather watch it all by myself so I can go at my own pace. Buuuut I don’t want to miss out if you all think it would be impactful. Thanks!

Hey everyone, I'm right now at when Michael killed Ana Lucia and Libby and would like to know if they're going to know if he did it or not? Because i really hate the shit out of him right now and i just want to know the answer because i just can't wait.

Rewatching this on NF..last time was in 2008-9, with some missing episodes and gaps..am I in for a treat or am I in for a treat?

Despite my excitement, I am a bit anxious due to thinking I might find this disappointing, just like I did the last time...with an ending just didnt make sense to me..

Any kind words to help ease me into this? TIA

YES I'm SAWYER

So, sayid is on the way to see the love of his life, who he thought was dead and had not seen her for years. Then a cute, but defenetly no sayid material woman shows up and he tells her he loves her??? Even if he thought they will never leave the island and its time to go on, bro this happened way to fast and i really really hate this at the character of sayid

Something that's always bugged me - why does a rich girl like Sun know so much about plants? There always seems to be an assumption that she knows which plant to use for what ailment, but given her upbringing, I've never seen any reason why she would know these things. Did I miss an explanation for this?

Simple as that, which non death scene has evoked the most emoiton in you?

I just started and finished lost back in may. Is it too soon to go do it all over again for a second time? Should I let it marinate for a lot longer? I've been trying to delay it, but like a sharp turd I can't hold it any longer.

i just started season 3 and am so frustrated about michael & the predicament that kate/sawyer/and jack are in. "the others" are absolutely barbaric. like i just wanna know when they'll get out (no spoilers). but ugh this show and how it unfolds really keeps me on my toes!

What are your thoughts on Michael, Walt and Vincent not being present at the church?

I thought for years it would have a short spinoff where Benjamin was back on the island with Michael to help him leave. I never understood what Michael and Walt were supposed to do to move on. It could have been they weren’t available to finish the show out, but the producers could have inserted some kind of cover.

OK guys, please tell me if I do too many LOST rewatching posts. This is the only place I can vent about my rewatch. The only persons I know that are LOST "fans" are my parents that used to watch it very very casually. My mom caught some reruns the other day and she texted me about what was the smoke monster and some s6 episode about a blond woman with a gun (??????), a lighthouse (more familiar to me lol) and Jack's son playing piano. Anywaysss. You see my point I guess.

Lafleur was next on my rewatch, but I have been procrastinating watching it. This is an episode I have only watch 2-3 times max, including the first time it aired. I watched s1-4 a thousand times or something. At the time the episode first aired, I was a teen and a pretty big Sawyer and Kate fan (BUT very opened minded in general, I wasn't one of the crazies). So you guess I had a pretty love and hate relationship with this episode lol.

Well, I have just finished watching Lafleur for the first time since my traditional LOST rewatch every hiatus (the one between season 5 and 6). I liked the episode much better this time around. I can't say if this is because I'm now in my thirties or because I know how the episode and the show ends. Maybe a mix of all of this.

It's not a perfect episode. It feels like it was rushing a bit too much to fill up the three years gap. I wished the characters from the DHARMA initiative were more multidimensioal. Most of them were pretty caricatural. I feel like the episode was too much built around surprising the audience with three big twists instead of allowing the plot and characters to naturally go toward these endpoints: Sawyer is in the dharma initiative, he is with Juliet now, Jack and co are back on the island, so their plan worked.

A few points:

• This episode made me cry twice: 1)Sawyer getting a yellow flower for Juliet (there's something moving about Sawyer, a con man whom trauma and bad things he has done weights heavily on his shoulders in s1....doing something as simple and "silly" than getting out of his way to get a yellow flower for a woman). 2) His reacting when Kate and co got out of the van AND THE FREAKING ROMANCING THE CAGE OST. You are crual, lost crew.

• Horace is a dumbass. I hate him, as I did back then. Is it me or it feels like he 100% takes credit for Sawyer fixing up things with Richard????

-I love the fact Sawyer uses his charming quality, his capacity to easily read people and know what they want...stuff that made him a great conman...to become something else, a leader.

-The cold open of the episode is pretty cool. We immediatly dive into an 70s vibe with the music and the dancing. The two dumbass Dharma guys go knock on their boss' door and then we hear..."Son of a bitch". Love it.

• I love how Sawyer had 100% confidence in Juliet being able to deliver the baby even when she didn't believe it herself. I loved how moved she was at finally being able to deliver an healthy baby, for the first one in years. It's like Sawyer reversed her curse about pregnant women. Maybe he is only giving back what she gave to much years ago, when he was beginning his role as head of security and having some doubts about him being able to do the job well? Sawyer can be self-loathing at times.

-Daniel Faraday broke my damn heart. The way he kept repeating himself he would not do/say to Charlotte the things that happened before she died, when she was partly in the present, partly in the past...SERIOUSLY!!!!!

• Then, the first thing Daniel sees when he arrives at Dharma ville is...baby Charlotte. SHE HAS JUST DIED IN HIS ARMS. Seriously, writers, that crual. I'm not even a big fan of them.

-Sawyer's "Is three years enough to get over someone" speech broke my heart all over again...for obvious reasons, haha!

• Don't answer this question! Is Horace and Amy's son someone we know? It feels like it is, but I have a bad memory. I might be mixing up things.

• The submarine scene broke my heart a little, because these two characters went through so much since the helicopter left the island. They lost so much, they were in survival/life and death mode for so long and they literally went through time. I think they were both desperate to hang on something, someone, that would help them get through that. Juliet tried to hang on the fact she would finally leave the island...but her motive for doing that 1-2 seasons ago was to reunite with her sister. That would not be possible in the 1970's. Who else, though? She barely knew the freighter people. She barely knew Jin (and anyway he didn't talk much English). Same for Sawyer, though he was closer to Jin).

• I however STILL think Sawyer and Juliet getting together was too rushed to feel an organic thing in the story. I needed to see more buildup, them trying to make a name in the Dharma and actually develop a deep friendship that turns into love.

I know a thousand fics exist in which Sawyer, Juliet and others get off the island and try to leave their lives in the 1970's. I wish the implications of them going on that sub would have been explored more. Isn't it tempting to change your childhood? It feels like the "Whatever happened happened" kind of kept them from deeply exploring time traveling, to be honest. Maybe, though, they also needed to put this as a limitations to the time traveling to keep a coherent story (it can become hard to avoid plotholes otherwise)? I believe Sawyer didn't see much point of living in the 1970's off island. He still had hope their friends and Locke would come back to the island, so he needed to stay on the island. I also feel like they got too comfortable in their Dharma lives bubble and didn't want to get out. Trying to build a new life off island would probably have been more complicated because of their baggage, because some people knew them off island.

I'm so sorry for my rambling. What did you think of this ep back then, and did it change upon rewatches?

On a new rewatch, I'm somewhere during S3, when they kill Nikki and Paolo. And then everyone accuses Sawyer of killing them.

I couldn't help but feel Sawyer is often treated unfairly. Like, I agree he's a sleazy SOB that is usually out for himself. And I would've beaten the crap out of him in the episode he steals the guns and meds for himself.

But also... he's very often the first one out the door to help the group, go on search party and what not. Not claiming he's a hero. But he wouldn't kill his fellow survivors--although he would beat the crap out of them.

So this is my first watch through and I'm just at the end of season 1. No big spoilers please. But is there a story reason that literally every side character from the main casts backstories are the world's most evil people?

Like Claire's boyfriend convinces her to keep the kid and then just leaves. John's father. Charlie's brother. Kate's bank robbery buds deciding to murder the bank manager just cause. Sun's father. Hell, even John's manager verbally dressed down the disabled dude, just cause.

Is there a story reason for it? Or is this an alternate reality where every person not in a plane crash is a telenovella villian level of asshole?

Ever hear "announcing your plans is a good way to make God laugh"? my head Canon is that he is afraid the island will heat what he's saying and that it will affect his future?

You got anything?

every time a character returns to the camp after a while they always come walking around that same damn bush, might as well line up some tiki lanterns & lay out some tarps from the Tarp Station 🤣
