LOST Finale
I watched LOST real time. I was so crazy for the show thru and thru. I was college when I saw the finale. I hated it. Felt like not providing answers was a huge cop out. As I grew older though and after numerous rewatches, I began to realize that the Island was not meant to answer all the questions. That towards the end, all that matters is your character change and all the relationships you've formed along the journey.

Today I found a Taped recording of Season 1 Episode 11 as it was Premiered on ABC. Quite literally “Lost Media”
I’m still watching further to see if it has any other episodes.

I Finally Started LOST…
I’ve always heard that this show is amazing, but for some reason I never sat down and watched it.
Somehow, through all these years — I have no clue what happens, whatsoever.
After watching the show ‘From’ (which is absolutely phenomenal imo) I was told that many people get a LOST-vibe from it, which is what made me revisit my interest in this show from many, many years ago.
I’m on S1E8 right now, and all I can say is wow! I am absolutely loving this!
Just wanted to share, thought some of you may enjoy knowing there’s a clueless first-timer in 2025!

Slapped this J-card together for a Final Project, didn’t originally start out as a lost project

I just finished the show for the first time 😭
Literally what do I do with my life now. Idk what to watch.
I was tearing up so so much at that entire last episode. Every time a couple “remembered” and fell in love again I was crying, it was so bitter sweet.
But also WHAT DO YOU MEAN THEYRE ALL DEAD!!!!??? That is not how I imagined it ending…
I also need clarification bc I’m slightly confused at the ending. My interpretation of it was that everything that happened on the island is real, and then everything that happened in the “what if” episodes of season 6 was all part of the after life??
Is this right I’m really confused

My review of LOST as a first time watcher (including my Top 5s)
I had been seeing lots of hype around the show and had been putting off watching it for a long time (regrettably). I love binging and even though I was told to watch it slowly, I couldn’t help myself and binged it so quickly. I now have post-Lost disorder - I don’t know how to recover from this beauty of a show.
S1: The show overall was sooo good, I loved season 1 and the introduction to all the characters and the elements of supernatural on the island. Looking back on the show, S1 probably gave us the least answers but gave us lots of background and clues. I was initially unsure about the flashback format, but learnt to love them (well, most of them), since I realised the show emphasised the characters and their development so much.
S2 was also amazing with the addition of Desmond and the Tailies, although I do think their overall arc could have been better as none of them made it very far apart from Bernard and that was minor role. But despite being short-lived, the performances of Ana Lucia, Eko and Libby were powerful, and I enjoyed their backstories. The best thing, of course, is the introduction of Henry Gale. I was a little confused why he was getting so much screen time but the reveal was so worth it. Michael Emerson is amazing.
S3: I had heard this season would be a slow start, but honestly I enjoyed the first episodes anyway, especially getting to know Ben and Juliet. But when the season picked up the pace… it was a straight rollercoaster to the end of the season. Probably my favourite finale of all the seasons with the iconic Charlie moment (I found him very annoying at times, but this was a redeeming moment) and also the “We have to go back” reveal was mind blowing. I was genuinely so confused at bearded Jack and was so used to the flashbacks that this plot twist totally caught me off guard.
S4 was the shortest and at times felt quite slow due to a couple filler episodes, but on the whole I think I really liked the new flash forward format. I noticed some of the previous flashbacks were becoming a little empty (Jack’s tattoos, John’s weed friends although the farmer/hunter stuff was OK I guess), so the flash forwards were a burst of fresh energy. I think the mysteries were becoming a lot more interesting at this point, with the addition of Widmore’s crew. I honestly didn’t care for the freighter crew at first, but I grew to love them very quickly, especially Faraday and Miles. It was nice to get some background for Michael (there’s no way Ben would have let him sail away lol), but he still takes top spot as least favourite character.
S5 was also very enjoyable and despite some people not being the biggest fans of it, I loved the time travel aspect. I think if you watch the show carefully and give it your attention, then it is not confusing at all, and the time shifts were actually super cool. I loved the connections being made through time and the crossovers from past and present (Miles and Chang, Eloise and Faraday, etc). The overarching battle between Jacob and MIB is really taking shape by the end of the season and we finally put faces to the names we’ve been hearing. I had been looking forward to finding out what “The Incident” was, ever since we met Desmond and I was not disappointed. I really loved Sawyer this season - he really kept everyone alive and together and had made a beautiful life for himself and Juliet.
S6: The final season was for the most part really fun. The flash-sideways were also very impressive and I had loved keeping track of character connections in flashbacks since S1 and seeing so many more of them in the flash sideways made me so happy. Terry O’Quinn is a magnificent actor btw - his demeanour as Locke vs MIB was so different and really impressive how he can play a poor soul in the flash sideways and the main antagonist on the island. I really love Desmond’s role in bringing everyone together in the flash sideways and it turns out so beautiful in the end. The season answered a lot of

I really love Desmond’s role in bringing everyone together in the flash sideways and it turns out so beautiful in the end. The season answered a lot of
mysteries and questions, and I especially loved Richard’s episode and the backstory for Jacob/MIB, as it helped piece together the big picture. The ending was so beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a nicer way to end both timelines. I wish Jack survived lol but he was destined to go I think aha. I’m not sure why people say the show doesn’t answer questions, when I think nearly every mystery was accounted for by the end of the show, and all the characters get closure in the final episode.
I think the show managed the cast very well considering how large it was, but some definitely stood out for me.
Top 5 Favourite characters:
1. Desmond - I loved his intro, his entire storyline with Penny, his iconic phone call, his time travel episodes
2. Ben - amazingly acted, one of the most interesting antagonists ever
3. Sayid - probably the most competent Lostie on the island, loved his backstory
4. Sawyer - he has his ups and downs, is morally grey but so is everyone else, enjoy his humour a lot
5. Jack - main character, his flashbacks and backstory were really interesting, really relate to him
HM: Locke, Hurley, Juliet, Richard, list could go on…
Top 5 Least Favourite characters: Not going to explain each one here lol but feel free to ask me to expand if you don’t understand why.
1. Michael
2. Kate
3. Claire
4. Radzinsky
5. Anthony Cooper
HM: Susan, Ana Lucia
Top 5 Favourite moments:
1. Sawyer tells Jack about when he met Christian
2. Desmond’s phone call with Penny
3. Sawyer kills OG Sawyer (Locke’s dad)
4. Ben watching Alex die
5. “We have to go back” reveal
One of my favourite things about this show was the humour and we got plenty of it amidst all the drama. Even in tense episodes like the finale, we got jokes randomly. Hurley and Sawyer were my favourites and also Ben with his deadpan humour.
Top 5 Funniest moments:
1. Hurley being interrogated by Chang about time travel - "You're 46?" and “There’s no such thing” and the cut to Jin LOOOL
2. “Oh yeah, there’s my favourite leaf”
3. Ben lies - “I was taught by my mother”
4. After the supply drop - “Great plan, Moonbeam. And after that we can sing Kumbaya and do trust falls”
5. John and Jack with the dynamite: “Bzzz” - “You like to play games John?”
I could include like 50 more of Sawyer’s sassy quotes too, especially his nicknames for everyone, but I kept it brief lol.
I really enjoyed the show and can’t wait to recover from post-Lost syndrome, I fear the only way is to rewatch the show… but I’ll take a break for a bit to really let the show marinate in my mind.

‘Lost’ after Lost
Me and my boyfriend just finished watching lost in an embarrassingly short amount of time and now we’re, well, Lost on what to watch next 🤣 the show was so good we have no idea what to watch next without being disappointed! Any recommendations? We loved the supernatural aspects of it and I LOVED the character development especially with Kate and sawyer and Jack. That ending was so good and so sad at the same time and every couple or friend that remembered made me tear up a little bit. Now we need help ‘moving on’ to another show to watch before rewatching this one

Just rewatched Lost and had some thoughts.
Spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn’t finished.
1. Widmore didn’t change the rules. Ben disavowed Alex. Once he said she wasn’t his daughter, there was no rule.
2. Ben is THE best character. Evil in the beginning, grey in the middle and by the end I’m rooting for him. How?! I love him.
3. In the last season in the sideways afterlife everyone gets to atone for things they did or have things they didn’t get to have. Why does Kate get a pass? She’s still saying nothing is her fault despite her direct involvement in multiple people’s death or harm.
4. There’s a short epilogue episode where Ben recruits Walt. Since Hurley is there to cross over w everyone else, does that mean Walt is running the island w his ghost dad?
