If lost had money like Netflix and made by netflix it would be most watched show of all time.
With a better Sci Fi effects with better cameras and stuff like that, same actors , damn that could be top 1 watched show of all time. This kind of mystery people start loving after lost, so imagine with this streaming era it was not Abc but Netflix or hbo that would be one of the most watched evet like it could be top3

Who are your top 3 funniest characters from the show?
Mine in order are the obvious Sawyer, then most would say Hugo but I think it was Ben, and finally I would put Desmond or Miles depending on rewatches ahead of Hugo. What do you think?

Watching S6 for the first time, am I suppose to be this confused?
Man this show just gets crazier and crazier every episode. I thought I was doing a good job of keeping up with everything but late S5 and the first couple episodes of S6 I’m just starting to lose track of things. The whole John gets resurrected thing, the temple, like gahh dayum

Season 5 Episode 1- Because You Left
I apologize if this isn't cool of me to post and I figure it's a long shot, but the version of S5E1 is different than the originally aired episode.
Does anyone happen to have a copy or know where I can find a copy of the original airing of the episode? Or is it considered LOST media?
For example, I know there's a copy of the Through the Looking Glass like that out there.
I own the DVDs and I have streaming. I watched the series live as it aired. I have a family member watching for the first time and I'm just being extra. Thanks for the help.

The Characters of Lost and Their Symbolism
The writers of Lost (Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse, and the original creator J.J. Abrams) wove in a lot of philosophical and religious symbolism, especially through character names. Many of the survivors, Others, and mythological figures carry names that are direct references to philosophers, theologians, and religious traditions.
Philosophers
John Locke – Named after the 17th-century English philosopher John Locke, who was a central figure in empiricism and political philosophy. On the show, Locke embodies faith, intuition, and belief in destiny, in contrast with Jack’s rationalism.
David Hume (Desmond Hume) – Scottish Enlightenment philosopher David Hume, known for skepticism, empiricism, and the problem of induction. Desmond embodies doubt, questioning reality, and the cyclical fate/determinism debate.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau (Danielle Rousseau) – Philosopher of the “noble savage” and natural state of man. Danielle is a scientist stranded on the island, representing a person stripped back to primal survival.
Jeremy Bentham (an alias John Locke uses later in the series) – Founder of utilitarianism. Locke’s tragic fate under this name reflects utilitarian themes about sacrifice for the greater good.
Anthony Cooper (Locke’s father) – Some argue his name nods to Anthony Ashley-Cooper, 3rd Earl of Shaftesbury, who was John Locke the philosopher’s real-life patron and supporter.
Religious & Mythological Figures
Jacob – Biblical patriarch; in Lost, Jacob is the quasi-divine protector of the island. His mythic struggle with the Man in Black echoes Biblical sibling rivalries (Jacob/Esau, Cain/Abel).
Christian Shephard – The most overtly symbolic name: “Christian Shepherd.” He’s a literal guiding presence in the afterlife.
Aaron – Claire’s son; in the Bible, Aaron is the brother of Moses and the first high priest of the Israelites.
Eloise Hawking – Possibly a nod to Sir Thomas Browne’s Religio Medici (which discusses fate and divine order), though the “Hawking” part references physicist Stephen Hawking, merging science and determinism.
Mikhail Bakunin – Russian anarchist revolutionary. In Lost, Mikhail is violent, resistant to hierarchy, and a “wild card,” reflecting anarchist ideals.
Richard Alpert – His name recalls Richard Alpert (the Harvard psychologist who became the spiritual teacher Ram Dass). The character is immortal and deeply tied to spiritual mysticism.
Other Thinkers & Scientists
Daniel Faraday – Likely named after physicist Michael Faraday, famous for work on electromagnetism. Daniel is the show’s physicist, obsessed with time travel and determinism.
Charlotte Staples Lewis – Nod to C.S. Lewis, the Christian theologian and author of The Chronicles of Narnia, which also deals with death, rebirth, and a mystical “other world.”
Miles Straume – A play on “maelstrom,” suggesting chaos and the swirling currents of fate. Some also read echoes of Miles Davis (jazz/free improvisation).
Juliet Burke – Some scholars suggest her name references Edmund Burke (philosopher of the sublime and political theorist). In the show, she represents both scientific rationality and sacrificial love.
Religious Themes in the Group Dynamics
The whole show often splits characters into philosophical dualities:
Faith vs. Reason – Locke (faith/destiny) vs. Jack (reason/science).
Free Will vs. Determinism – Hume, Faraday, and Desmond’s time-loop storylines.
Sacrifice & Salvation – Christian Shephard, Jacob, and the candidates’ trials.

People speaking english in private when it’s not even their first language
I’m on my first watch (I’m finishing season 6, two episodes left I think!) and there is something that really bothers me about Claudia. In the episode where she arrives to the island, we see her speaking latin with Mother: we understand that the people arriving to the island are likely Romans, right? (at least that’s what I read on the internet). Then why do suddenly Claudia and mother start speaking english ? If it really was a roman ship, there’s no way they could speak english because modern english didn’t exist at that time? So my guess is that they did that so American people wouldn’t have to bother reading subnoscripts…?
I was also very annoyed when I saw Jin and Sun speaking in english together before they died because first of all, Sun had no idea that Jin spoke perfect english because she just spent the last three years thinking he was dead until she went back to the island. And secondly, their first language is korean. WHY would they speak english together ?? Like they are literally dying and you’re telling me they are making the effort to speak their second language together when no one is listening to them ? That made me so mad. I guess it was, again, so Americans wouldn’t have to read subnoscripts…?

Today is September 22nd - the anniversary of Flight 815 crashing on a magical island. To celebrate the day I'm sharing the rare Lost Yearbook for the first time. It was given to cast and crew when the show ended and it features over 1100 photos.
