Richard

Does anyone else wish Richard was a bit older? I think his reveal that he’s about 140 years old is a little underwhelming. Don’t get me wrong that’s an incredibly long time for anyone to live, but I think the show originally made out as if he was going to be REALLY old. I sort of wish he was more like 1000 years old. The 1800s weren’t really that long ago in the grand scheme I suppose

What are your favorite Benjamin Linus quips?

Mine are probably;

“No John, unfortunately we don’t have a code for ‘there’s a man in my closet with a gun to my daughters head’, although we obviously should”

And

“You know those are 15 years old” when Hugo starts to eat the crackers from the stash on their way to the Orchid.

Besides Boone, did Locke have any other friends on the island?

I feel like calling Boone a friend is already a stretch. But did anyone genuinely like or care for John on the island? Even just a little bit?

Or, did everyone hate him for constantly destroying every way off the island?

Wasn't happy with any of the Lost posters for Plex so I made this one up (Highly derivative of some fanart posted here a decade ago, link in comments)

Season 5 finale cliffhanger is one of the best endings of the series

I'm currently on my fifth rewatch of the series. The last time I watched it all the way through was back in 2018.

Aside from the iconic "We have to go back!" scene in Season 3, the Season 5 finale remains one of the most jaw-dropping moments. When Juliet bangs on the bomb and the entire screen turns white.BOOM. LOST. My goodness.

I remember watching Season 5 live, week by week, in 2009. That moment in the finale hit me like a punch to the gut. I vividly recall my jaw dropping, and I remember seeing a teaser that said "the final season, January 2010" which meant waiting from May to January was torture.

Now that I think about it, Season 5 might be one of the best seasons of the show.

Death of Spoilers

Hey so on the podcast this week we arrived at the shocking death of Mr Eko. Every time I watch the show it gets me blubbing, he was such a wonderful character who felt like he had so much more story left to tell. Obviously Adewale wanted out so we lost him before they planned to, how do you think Mr Ekos story goes from The Cost of Living onwards if he didn't die there?

Would really love and appreciate any support on the podcast and any feedback, we're putting a lot of effort into it it's just so tough trying to get noticed. Give us a shot were good eggs ☺️❤️

This subreddit

Is going to have me rewatching this show again just two months after a recent rewatch.

Watched the show live when it was airing and it quickly became my fave show of all time.

I have since rewatched it maybe 6-7 times and recently completing a rewatch about a couple months back.

I stopped using Reddit for almost 5 years and even when I was using it heavily back in the day, I never thought about joining TV show subreddits.

So I come across the Lost sub after my recent rewatch and seeing all the Easter eggs, discussions and what not, I am so tempted to rewatch this show AGAIN and so SOON!!!

I have a huge backlog in movies and tv shows so I'm trying my hardest to refrain but this sub doesn't make that easy.

Kudos to the community, and welcome to all the new watchers!!!

Cheers!

Why do all of the DHARMA guns have short magazines?

All of the AK style rifles seem to have low capacity magazines? Any reason for this?

Does anyone else find it hilarious that jack took the time to make a model plane out of a leaf in the pilot episode?

I always laugh during that expository scene where jack tries to explain the plane crash in the pilot episode. In the midst of all the trauma and chaos, jack painstakingly makes a model plane to explain to the losties. "My presentation needs some visual aids, better sit down and make this leaf while all of us are struggling to survive and multiple people are dying."

Irony of Hatch Button

I can’t wrap my head around the hatch button. It needed to be pressed every 108 minutes for years but it didn’t need to be pressed after all. Not pressing the button made Desmond use the failsafe key and gain special electromagnetic ability.

Was it “free will” to press the button all those years only to turn the failsafe in the end? Was it “fate” the button didn’t need to be pressed and make Desmond to be a weapon against MiB?

A lot of characters argued whether the button should be pressed or not. I guess everyone was right and wrong at the same time?

The Rules

What’s the deal with “the rules”?

Were they something that had actual power, or just an agreement between Jacob and The Man in Black? If The Man in Black really wanted to, could he have killed Jacob and the candidates himself or left the Island without them?

And what was the deal with Ben saying, “you changed the rules” when Keamy killed Alex? Who changed the rules? What rule got changed?
