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!

Question about Michael getting off the island

When he took the Others’ boat and went back to NYC, why couldn’t he tell anyone he was a survivor so he could get the other survivors rescued?

Was CSI Miami the path to being on Lost? (/s)

I’m rewatching CSI Miami. I’m up to Season 2, episode 6. So far there’s been:
- Shannon in s01e21 (April 28, 2003),
- Boone in s02e05 (October 20, 2003),
- and Jacob in s02e06 (November 3, 2003).

Jacket

I wish the writers were brave enough to stick with the Jack and Juliet dynamic that we saw in season 3 and 4. It had waaay better build up than sawyer and juliet in my opinion; and if made to work, Jack and Juliet would have made a power couple in the show.

If Edward Mars was only knocked unconscious, would he have become the leader?

The Marshal was a police officer who clearly carried authority, but seemed a bit close-minded. Would he have taken charge of the group, or would Jack ultimately rise to the occasion nonetheless?

Why didn't Jack turn into black smoke?

As most of us know, when you enter the pool of water at the heart of the island you die and become the black smoke (except for Desmond). So why when Jack put the plug back into the pool and the water started to fill the pool again, not die and turn into the black smoke? Do the pool need to be full? What am I missing?

Is there anything that you think, with hindsight, that the writers and showrunners of Lost would do differently now?

ABC Lost Parody Videos

Hey ABC, lost fans does anyone remember during the original series airing, fan made videos, using music and plastic figures of the cast? Specifically, we remember a song about Sayid. Something like oops my wife got hit by a car. We feel crazy because we can’t find anything about it now.

It's not lost on me just how unique and expertly cast the cast of Lost were. I have been trying to picture who would play Jack, Sawyer, Locke, Kate, Desmond and Ben from today's crop of performers and I'm drawing blanks.

Inspiration for Richard's compass temporal paradox ?

I just rewatched “Somewhere in Time,” released in 1980, and it has exactly the same temporal paradox as Lost with the compass in season 5. In this film, Richard (not Alpert) receives a watch from the woman he will meet in the past and to whom he will give the watch in turn. So the watch has no origin. Just like the compass that Richard gives to Locke, who then gives it back to Richard in the pasr. I think the Lost writers may have been inspired by this film for this element.
