What were his biggest mistakes? What should he have done differently?

Wondering if anyone knows the origin of this artwork? Looks like it was available as a t-shirt back in the day - https://theawesomer.com/desmonds-replacement-t-shirt/28164/

I'd love to be able to get a decent sized copy of the artwork to put on a t-shirt (just for myself).

First time watcher here. This has to be my favorite series of all time. Charlie, Locke, & Michael are some of my least favorite characters on this show. Despite that, this show manages to make me feel empathy for them. Even though I have had several moments of anger or frustration with each of these characters, I manage to still hold a place for them in my heart. I may not like them at times, but I understand them & almost still love them as the deeply flawed beings they are.

This show just does such a great job at expressing the multifaceted nature of humanity. The message that people can be good, but still do “bad” things under certain circumstances is strong. Not talking about the terrible parents of this show though. Locke’s dad will not be seeing any sympathy from me anytime soon lol.

I am so thankful for this sub. Someone posted this find a couple days ago in a random thrift store. Desmond is my favorite. I had to have it. I scoured the internet and could not find any active listings for ‘Desmond,’ by Jeff Boyes. I was able to locate it in Florida. One of my friends picked it up for me. It’s so much bigger than I anticipated. I’m so excited. Thank you so much OP!

I’ll see you in another life, brotha!

I am about to finish s4. I am planning of rewatching the three parts finale this week.

The thing is, I didn't like s5 and 6 much at the time. I have watched them only once or twice, including the original airing.

I want to hype myself up for s5 and try to watch in a neutral way to see if I feel the same now. Soooo, tell me people, what are your favorite things about s5 (a character, a scene, a storyline, etc.)?

Edit: please don't say Sawyer and Juliet. I don't think I'm gonna turn into a fan overnight after being a sawyer and kate fan for years haha

Thank you in advance. Seems odd that they use it for a different purpose.

There are two versions of every LOST season finale. The first is an 'original' cut that plays as one single double-length episode. This is the version that originally aired on TV. A second version, likely created for TV reruns, has cuts and edits made to create two separate, ‘normal length’ episodes. These changes include the removal of footage, ranging from just a few frames or shots to deleted lines of dialogue or even full scenes.

All DVD releases of LOST outside of Region 1, as well as most streaming services, only offer the second, shortened versions of the season finales. This means that there is roughly 10 minutes worth of LOST content that many fans might have never seen, including Kate attempting to calm down Redshirts, Kelvin Inman giggling like a schoolgirl, Locke being annoyed with Jack, and Rose and Bernard announcing their retirement... This video is here to set things right. Here follows a compilation of all of the removed footage once lost, but now... well, here!

This was in response to a tweet abt Lost unpopular opinions

I’m not expecting to ever watch a show that I’ll enjoy more than lost, but what tv series can you suggest for me to watch that shares similarities or that’s nearly as good as lost?

We talk a lot about characters and storylines in here but I just wanted to give some kudos to the man responsible for the score, some incredibly good music that when you play each season’s soundtrack loud you hear something new every time. For me he composed the score so well for each character and scenario. Season 4’s “There’s No Place Like Home” is a real favourite of mine.

Mine would have to be

 “You like Bob Marley?”
  “Maaaaaan. Who doesn’t like Bob Marley?!”

It’s been in my head for YEARS. I say it to myself once a week, easily

Im watching for the first time and i cant explain how much i cant stand Lock. Did anyone have the same feeling like me? He just destroyed submarine , i didnt like him before that too hes just annoying and having daddy issues i get that he had horrible life but come on. Also i know that show has to be completed but sometimes my head hurts hahaha. And is it just me or so many unlikeable characters in this show hahahaha

Im not hating on the show i love it so far they are just some things i dont like

What kind of life choices would have changed the trajectory of his journey and would have helped him be genuinely happy?

I'm currently doing my, oh I don't know, 10th rewatch and my fiancee keeps wandering in and out while it's on. He asks some random questions as he's heard stuff over the years about what happens etc.

Then he tells me he just won't watch it cause it was over hyped. I have begged him to watch it with me so many times over the years but he's always just kind of poo-pooed it without giving me a reason.

Now here is the reason. He won't watch it cause so many people bang on about how great it is that that means it has to be awful. What kind of logic is that?!? I was sooooo frustrated.

I honestly don't know why I accepted his offer of a ring.

This show is giving me such LOST vibes, highly recommend for anyone in this subreddit. It’s more on the horror side but omg it’s great and Harold Perrineau (Michael on Lost) is awesome in it. It has those sci-fi, mystery vibes from Lost w the twists and turns/cliff hangers etc. Just wow

Who’s going to the concert? ✈️ 🏝️

Think about it, there's no way Hollywood wouldn't want to cash in on the incredible story of 6 people surviving a plane crash especially given the details of their story, swimming to an island and surviving with basically no supplies and then having a miracle boat wash up to get saved. The kicker is that the film would be advertised as "based on a true story" for peak irony.

I just wanted to point out the beautiful transformation of James (Sawyer). He goes from being arguably the most selfish survivor to being the compassionate hero who is willing to sacrifice himself to save the more vulnerable like "Frenchie and the kids" and Claire and Aaron.

​

The island really does give everyone a chance to start over (....unless you arrive with your spouse / child, which really limits your life choices) and it's a lovely thing to watch Sawyer embrace what is apparently his innate desire to be a force for good. It makes his childhood even sadder, knowing that he had this inside of him all along

Lost is by far the best TV show ever and I have watched it several times. It’s my comfort watch. And no other show has been able to captivate me similarly. It got me thinking and wishfully hoping if there are any books out there of similar plot/theme? If you know any please can you recommend in comments? TIA 😊

It will never not bother me that there's no final conversation between Jack and Locke, once they've regained their memories. I don't think they even get a hug. It's just that one throwaway "we've been waiting for you" line.

I’ve rewatched at least 10 times. I don’t even have a count anymore, but I still find that random moments hit me different each time. I just started season 6 again, the first few minutes where the plane hits turbulence and then keeps going. Bernard comes back from the bathroom and he and Rose say how they missed one another. I started tearing up! Because now I’m viewing it from the perspective of how they missed one another whenever they died and now they’re reunited. Idk why it hit me like that this time around when before it’s not something I really noticed. I’d love to hear similar moments for others!

Forgive me as it’s been a minute and I’ve been meaning to give one of my fav shows a through rewatch, but until then…

What the heck was Ben gonna do in the sideways timeline after everyone moved on? He says something like he has some issues to work out before he can give himself the spiritual closure to move forward from his life.

So what does that mean? What’s he gonna do all day until then? Sit outside that church? Try to get back to the island now that Number One Hugo is gone? Of all the wonderful Lost questions there are to have, this one beguiles me the most.

Appreciate your thoughts on this.

So for a while there’s been speculation and people hoping for either a sequel or a reboot and I’d be totally happy with either. Part of me wants a sequel because the casting is so perfect that it makes me prefer this, but last night I watched S3E5 which is Mr. Eko’s last episode. Watching this again and remembering it was the actor that didn’t want to live in Hawaii and leave so they had to give up on his storyline. They had a whole four (maybe five) season arc for Mr. Eko, one of my favorite characters, and it made me think about if they did a reboot they could actually do his full story and loads of other storylines they weren’t able to finish.

Just wondering everyone’s thoughts on this and if they’d prefer a sequel or reboot show or if they’d just prefer the show is left alone as is. Thanks!

Michael often receives a lot grievance for his angry approach to fatherhood, although the chance of being a dad really came out of nowhere to him. He essentially had his child taken away from him but perhaps he could have fought harder to stay in his life? What do you think?
