Made my personal LOST character tier list 🏝️

I know everyone has wildly different takes on who belongs where, but this is how it landed for me. Some were easy (Vincent supremacy forever 🐕), others I kept moving up and down.

Went to check out thefuselage.com after many years, and the domain is up for sale and it made me kind of sad

Up for grabs if anyone is interested.

S4 E9. Why does Sawyer feel Ben and Locke are "whackos" for trying to find Jacob? In general, how can the characters act like this after seeing so many strange things?

For example in S4 E9 - Sawyer gets triggered when Ben and Locke tell him they're after Jacob for instructions - Sawyer is done with the "whackos" at that point.

Really though? He just witnessed Ben basically command some magical or UFO like smoke being or machine, few days ago he witnessed the man he spent all his life searching suddenly being on the Island. Etc etc.

And somehow it's illogical for him, Hurley, Claire etc that Locke and Ben are looking for whatever they are looking?

Isn't this behavior a bit nonsensical?

"Because he's the only one who will have me"

I am in Season 6 watching this show in it's entirety for the first time as an adult. I have to say, while I have loved pretty much every minute of it, nothing in the show has really made me feel any sort of deep emotion, other than a general sense of appreciation or empathy for the various characters. But I have to say (as a guy who hardly ever cries or gets too emotional about much of anything), the way Ben delivered this line after the general trend of his arc hit me so unexpectedly and so deeply I teared up immediately and had to watch the entire scene again. I just thought it was such a beautiful moment of honest vulnerability and maybe self realization

Underrated line readings?

We’re all aware of Lost’s famously funny or emotionally satisfying lines. Your “my mother taught me”s, your “small world, huh”s your “oh yeah, there’s my favourite leaf”s,your “we have to go back”s etc etc.

But what are some lines that you never hear talked about, that you love purely because the actor’s delivery of the line was so perfect?

For me, I love when Walt asks if he’s being punished when he and Michael start building the raft. After Michael’s reply, Walt simply says, “It feels like punishment.”

For such a young actor, he perfectly portrays the exasperated resignation of a kid who’s being forced to do something he doesn’t want to do, for reasons he doesn’t understand.

Poor Hurley

Hurley and Libby share a quick kiss.... to show Hurley she is real. He asks if they could try one more time, and she smiles. But no. She wont kiss him again. At least he didn't see the miserable face she made as they were walking away. ( I believe the face was made to mirror or crazy face she makes in the mental institute quick flashback part) Not to mention she doesn't ever visit him after she passed away like everyone else does. That's his true love in his afterlife?. I really hope he found a nice lady after being the new number 1.

Finished my fourth consecutive rewatch and I’m finally ready to let go. 🥲

It took me until now to be at peace with the story and not have a compulsion to start it over again. It’s crazy to me that it took this long but here we are! What a journey. 🙌🏻

This last watch I started thinking about what my flash sideways would be… have yall ever done this exploration? Feels hard because I’m still living life in my early 30s and can’t identify the main theme of what I would “fix”.

Anyways, I’m thankful I have this subreddit to keep me connected without having to watch it again! Such a great community! 🙏🏼✨🏝️

The Island after the finale

Spoilers ahead for the whole show potentially:

(Not sure how to do spoiler text. Sorry)

.
.
.

I’m New Man in Charge Ben says that the Dharma food delivery is no longer needed and is being shut down. Wouldn’t those remaining on the island want to still get deliveries of food so they can eat more than just mangoes and other stuff on the island? Just wondering if there’s more to this.

Also, if Walt is seemingly going to be the new protector of the island, how will he be able to recruit his replacement later? He won’t know anyone to recruit unless people discover the island but seemingly there won’t be another incident that causes a plane to crash.

Just wondering if anyone has a different interpretation of these things. Just finished rewatching the show for the first time since the original airing and want to pick the brain of other fans.

Apologies if the format of this post is against the rules

Nicki and Paulo are Jason Todd of LOST

On my first rewatch since I was 7 and boy, I really disagree with killing them (especially in such an unreasonably cruel manner) and feel like it was only done to appease whiny bros. Exposé shows they had huge potential for depth, and their prior appearances weren't nearly as intrusive or annoying as you would get an impression by reading a fan wiki or a tvtropes article. Exposé was one of the better episodes in a season that so far was very hit-and-miss. Season 3 flashbacks really feel like we are running out of things to show for main character backstories. Season 1-2 flashbacks have a philosophy like "here is an essential event that shaped the protagonist and makes us see them in a completely new way". Season 3 flashbacks mostly go "remember that one time we mentioned an irrelevant factoid about a character's backstory? Let's stretch it out into an entire episode. Better yet, let's show the cast of characters from previous flashbacks behaving in exactly the same way we expect them to without trying to do anything interesting with them AT ALL" Exposé felt like a breath of fresh air: a completely unexpected backstory that makes you feel for the characters, a very funny episode that plays with the mythology of previous episodes without becoming a full-on parody... And you could do it without killing them in the end: just let Nicki raise a hand the moment Hurley and Sawyer start to bury them!

also killing them in such a way feels vaguely racist which meshes well with various production crew member statements

Why did the Swan need a long shaft?

I love thinking about the lore of this series. One of my own unanswered questions that I think about a lot is exactly why the Swan is as built the way it was. It needed to be underground because it was, like the Orchid, meant to be in close proximity to the ”exotic matter”. But still, there was an entrance that seems more convenient to go through.

It seems almost like an emergency back exit? In case the hostile would come through the other entrance.

Or maybe I’m just overthinking things, and they simply kept the shaft since that’s the way they dug themselves down there?

Season 1 Endings

The end of episode 2 (the double pilot essentially) has a shot of Kate before the credits. The end of episode 3 has a shot of Locke before the credits. Do you think they were originally gonna have each episode end with a shot of the character who is the focus of the next or is it just a coincidence?
