The kids

If the “others” could get off of the island whenever they wanted, why on earth did they not send those kids on the oceanic flight back home to their parents

In Memory of my Dad

Hi all, been thinking about making a post here for a while, but haven't found the right words, but here goes anyway.
On August 26th, my dad, James, passed away.
LOST was our show. We watched it from the premiere on ABC all the way to the finale. It was always a special night for us. We'd make a special dinner, and he'd go to 7-11 and get us our special dessert. Hostess cupcakes for him, and mini donettes for me. At the time, my favs were the powdered ones. Or he'd get a slice of chocolate cake from Safeway (or Vons, wherever you are) for us to split in half.
We rewatched LOST together several times. Whether renting the DVDs pre-streaming, or whenever and wherever it was available. He even got my uncle and cousin into it, and they now have merch in their gameroom, and have bought my dad and I LOST themed gifts.
We watched it again together for the last time earlier this year, and I cried during the finale, because I knew the next time I watched, it wouldn't be with him. I wouldn't get to hear the comments he made every time at his favorite parts, the fake shock he would put on at all the twists, and I wouldn't get to explain the things he forgot, to his excitement. I don't know when I'll be able to watch it again, but I at least got to tell him during our last watch, how much I've enjoyed watching it with him.
I want to thank you all, even though I know none of you, for sharing in this amazing show alongside my dad and I. And maybe for your next rewatch, pick up some hostess cupcakes, mini donettes, or a slice of chocolate cake to enjoy. I know my dad would have loved sharing his love of the show with y'all, if he had known how to use reddit. Probably best that he didn't lol.
Thank you all again. I'll see my dad in another life, perhaps. 🩵

Hugos Accident

Anyone else surprised we never really learned/saw more about him accidently being responsible for killing like 12 people which landed him in Santa Rosa? Figured that would’ve been a highlight in his backstory!

My theory for why people who understand the ending still don’t like it.

So my wife and I both had watched Lost when we were kids, but as adults, went through and rewatched it and fell in love with it. We referred a few people we know to the show (who we thought would like it) but when it came to the ending, none of them did.

Honestly, I found that really confusing, because even though they didn’t fall into the “So ThEy WeRE DeAD tHE WhOLE TiME” camp, they still didn’t like it. But as more time as passed and we’ve thought about the show and our own rewatching of it again for the second rewatch, I any help but think it’s because of the message. The message of letting go.

The people we referred the show to all came from manipulative, abusive, upbringings. And in reality, they haven’t let go themselves. There’s a lot of clear still wanting their parents approval, and love (none if them are in therapy trying to move past anything) and I can’t help but feel that their own lack of ability of letting go and moving on. That watching the show, come to this conclusion of all the characters letting go and moving past things, was something they couldn’t just connect with, but was in some ways offensive to them. That it might have confronted them with their own problems.

Now I could be totally off base with this theory. But I’m honestly just curious if anyone has had a similar experience or observation? Or even what anyone else thinks of this theory since I have no one else to talk to about it without delving into the personal lives of our friends lol.

Is it ever explained what secret John told Walt?

in S1 E2 after John’s iconic “one light and one dark” line, he asks if he can ask a secret to Walt. is it ever revealed what this secret is? im on S4 E5, (best episode ever) and please no spoilers for anything past that.

Just went down a rabbit hole “The light doesn’t scatter quite right”

Forgot about this Faraday line from Confirmed Dead. It’s kind of a throwaway line that you kind of chalk up to Daniel’s character being introduced as a little…eccentric.

I googled “light scattering” which led me to James Clerk Maxwell who from Wikipedia: was a Scottish physicist/mathematician responsible for the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation, which was the first theory to describe electricity, magnetism and light as different manifestations of the same phenomenon…building upon the earlier hypothesis advanced by Faraday.

Which reminded me that in the alternate reality game released ahead of season 4, Find 815, the nefarious company was called the Maxwell Group. For those who don’t know, there was a ton of bonus material like these games released throughout the run of the show to keep us all busy with extra puzzles. Gotta love Lost.
