First watch through - I wish I was watching when this was on

They say there are 46 passengers after the burn, but there are so many people that seemingly don’t matter?

Locke the jungle man and the doctor make decisions for everyone? Where is the diplomacy?

If there are people on the island doesn’t that mean they have a way to leave? Why are they immediately an enemy?

I can’t wait to catch up - but seriously, what happens to the people that aren’t in the main cast?

Linus

Surely if ben knew there was a doctor on the island, he would come across civil and make friendship with survivors? Obviously the tv show needs drama, but if this was real life, me personally i’d go to the survivors and introduce my team and say i need to surgery.

rewatch

i’ve been thinking about rewatching lost more and more the last couple months. i keep seeing videos on social media about it and just a couple days ago i decided to start watching fringe(another jj abrams show) and that made me want to watch lost even more. i watched lost for the first time around 2018 and it was immediately in my top shows all time. i started 2 more rewatches about a year or two later but i always stopped around season 3. i finally started this current rewatch last night and it’s starting to come back to me lol. one of the reasons i’ve been putting it off is because how “slow”the first season is but i said fuck it 😂😂any questions i have i’ll be making more posts.

Alex’s code to deactivate the fence

… is 1623.

We see it when Alex is captured by Keamy and is forced to deactivate the fence, triggering the 14-J.

I’m on watch 500 and I enjoy looking for these easter eggs, still. Never noticed this one and couldn’t find any reference on this sub

Happy Friday to me :)

I had a really nice conversation with the smoke monster

Thought you guys might enjoy this. I’ve been working in the film industry for 8 years now, and you get very used to working directly with celebrities. We treat each other professionally for the duration of our show lengths and the cast and crew bond as a working family most of the time. I’ve worked with many big name actors and I don’t ever really bat an eye anymore, they’re just people at the end of the day and when we engage it’s as friendly co-workers. I’ve never really fanboyed anyone before.

But I finally got to work with a Lost cast member, and having been a fan of the show since the pilot, since I was a kid, I couldn’t help but let him know how meaningful the show was to me and his incredible role in it as well. So I ended up shooting the shit with the smoke monster for 20 minutes (Titus Welliver) and we talked about Lost for a long time among other similar interests of ours, and he is such a humble and down to earth man. I had the luxury to hear him tell me about his whole experience on the show from the phone call to work on it up to when he discovered who his character was. It was a really surreal experience, and he’s a lovely person. When I left the conversation to get back to work I remember just thinking, “wow, I just hung out with the smoke monster”, and the teenager inside of me was really thrilled by the whole interaction.

Anyway, TLDR: Titus Welliver is a class act. Much respect.

Hurley wanting to "be free"

This is such a heartwarming and heartbreaking series of events. Bernard encourages Hurley to do a cannonball and he has the sweetest face in that moment. Immediately into the WHERE IS CHARLIE? moment. And flash forward into a MIB encounter. No commercial interuption. My emotions didnt know what to do.

Lost Explained Channel

Has Lost Explained publicly revealed who he is? I only ask as he’s mentioned in some videos that he himself is a writer and works in the business and since I think his videos are very eloquent and well-made, I’d be curious to see his own personal works! I don’t know if he is still intentionally anonymous and so I don’t mean to pry in that way, but I’m unaware if he has willingly made himself public or not

Kate leaves the state

Is it just me or did Kate take a plea deal for 10 years of probation and not leaving the state in order for no prison time after the Oceanic six first came back? But then flew back to the island? I also haven’t finished it yet though but I’m on the last few episodes so maybe I just have to watch the rest to understand it idk

Crying and more crying

I should have listened to everyone I should have followed the right path I should have focused on things that actually matter . I am stuck in financial situation since past over a year due to gambling with the most famous site ( yes you guessed it right with the word S ) . It all started as a fun time pass thing but then turned into a nightmare, right now I don’t know what will we even I do tomorrow. I tried everything- changed myself - prayed to god - seek for help from people - want to work on my online service but just need a push . Just need that one last push so that I can get the resources ( a laptop and 3 month expense rate ) I will change myself . I am not asking for money but I am asking for a loan ! I can’t even sleep properly every single night I it’s been over a year now I have ruined myself I have ruined everything. I can’t say it to people I love All I can do is hope and that is the reason I am writing this here . In the hope that maybe anyone could understand what I am going through. Every day I sent cold messages and cold emails to people to invest in me and my idea of my service but didn’t get any replied yet , I seriously don’t know how far I can go more now everything feel shattered feels Brocken inside and life doesn’t feel like life anymore.

Can we talk about the scene where Hurley gets the van started ?

This is one of the happiest and most pure moments on the show. It makes me laugh and tear up to at the same time. A small victory that gives them a sense of hope and they finally get to have a little fun. And I love the Hurley/ Charlie/ Sawyer/ Jin bonding .

Just watched “The Constant”

What a fucking episode! Might be up there for me in best singular television episodes of all time. They really hit the nail on the head with that one. Wow!

Who exactly understood the whole, 'detonating the bomb on the island was the right move' arc, I was honestly lost for most of that time when the Island time travelled and Sawyer became La Fleur. Open to hearing your input.

Different question surrounding one of the most controversial moments of the show (SPOILERS)

So there are a lot of people asking, "couldn't he swim out of the window" or "why did he stay in the room" etc. etc.

I know the answer to be that he chose to stay. However I have a different question. Wouldn't the room have only filled up with water just as high as the window is? Like, is there a way for the room to fill up with water up to the ceiling with there being no leak in the ceiling? Perhaps I'm just getting my physics wrong.

Books recs similar to the Dharma Initiative?

Hey, everyone! One of my favorite aspects of Lost was the Dharma Initiative plot line, and I was looking to find book recommendations similar to that vibe. You know, secret government facilities, hatches, thought experiments, all that jazz. If you also have movie recs., feel free to drop them here too!

Party Planning Help

Every year, my husband and I plan a themed Halloween party that involves specific costumes and games for attendees. We give prizes to the winners and split people who attend into different teams. This year, we want to make everything Lost-themed.

We feel good about costumes (early 2000s / plane crash / castaway vibes) and themed snacks (we’re not the first people to throw a Lost party in 20 years). BUT we would love help with the game component!

Here’s what we’re currently thinking — some sort of Traitors / Mafia / Secret Hitler type style game where people are either pre-assigned a Survivor, Other, or the MIB. By the end of the night, if the MIB is still “alive,” they’re the only one who wins the prize. We want the MIB “twist” to be revealed a little later so (like in the show) the Others feel like the initial enemy that later end up working with Survivors toward the ultimate goal.

That’s about as far as we’ve gotten. Any ideas on how to flesh this story out? Any fun thematic games to play mid-party to give survivors an advantage? Any other story elements to include? Open to feedback and ideas!
