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

3. Jin doesn’t leave Sun and they both drown
4. Vincent staying with Jack as he slowly dies

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?

Started showing my partner Lost
Two days ago my partner got lost as a surprise because I have been wanting to show her it for a very long time now. But the funniest thing happened today. We were watching 3 or 4 episodes today before she had to go to work. The last episode she had time for was season 1 episode 10!!! That was the note she was left on before work! Lol. I could not have been happier with this outcome and her suffering lol. I love her so much.

Looking for recap
Hey I‘m looking for a recap series that was on YouTube back then. Weekly format. It was done with puppets. I think puppets like Barbie but I’m not shure. But it was not Lost untangled.
I only remember one line: "I’m not your brother, brother!" It was about Desmond (obviously).

Why put them through all of this?
I'm on my fourth rewatch and currently on 3x2. They have Kate, Jack and Sawyer who, as we know, are candidates. If that is the case then why couldn't they (The Others) just sit them all down, explain everything and let them decide what to do? Why put them through all of the crap? I know it's for the benefit of the series, but having watched it several times I just keep finding these little things and I obsess over them. I'm nitpicking, yes,

Genuine question about Desmond
How did he live on his own down at the hatch and had no health problems due to sleep, guy had to wake up every like an 1hour and 40 mins to press a button

Why didn't they just write the numbers next to computer?
Why didn't they just write down the numbers next to computer?
Multiple times they had to have someone new memorize the numbers to push the button.
Seems they'd write it down in obvious place to avoid any confusion.

About to finish Season 3 now and had a question, is Lost one of those shows where the final 3 seasons are a huge falloff?
I know Lost gets a bad rep for its ending, and that the Creators originally wanted it to have only 3 season, so I had always assumed that the final season are just terrible. But I've been looking at reviews on IMBD and reddit and they seem pretty good. What are you guys thoughts?

Just Finished for the First Time
I've learned to let go.
I've never heard spoilers through the years and this is my first time even searching this subreddit.
I crafted a theory after about halfway through season 1. That theory was that everyone in the plane crash died. The "survivors" of the crash are on an island of limbo, an in-between for them to make right with their previous ways. The people who are dieing on the island have made peace with their old lives and are ready to move on to "heaven/hell". This started making more sense once the brother/half sister died... They were able to redeem themselves. It also made sense when the Others took the good people away. I suppose this was Jacob's list. I felt pretty proud of myself, but I also was second guessing myself because I knew the writers had too many characters to service and giving them an arc and killing them off was an easy way to become more plot focused.
Then of course things got weird in season 3 and 4. Season 4 was an amazing season finale. I enjoyed everything about it. I guess I would have liked to know more about why Ben and Whitmore hated each other.
The finale... Was somewhat gratifying that my theory was mostly correct in that everyone was dead, but the timelines were a bit confusing. I'll have to do some research on this sub to fully understand it. But my thought process is that the main timeline is when flight 815 crashed on the island (the island exists). The events that that Jack and crew experience are what they experience as they are dead. The season 6 reality of the flight landing, is the final waiting room before heaven/hell.
So basically there were two waiting rooms after dieing and before going to heaven/hell. The Island and the season 6 reality of the plane landing safely.
I could be totally wrong, but that's how I see it in my mind.
Anyways, if you read this far I appreciate it and it was a good sifi show. Not perfect, but glad it happened to help create soft sifi as more of a major category for TV shows.
Finally, I'm happy to be done with the show. Season 5 was a slog and at least season 6 had some answers. I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else on the sub enjoyed about the show.
Ps. I loved all the little Easter eggs that were placed through the entire series. Also, I thought they did an amazing job with continuity. Jin had to wear those handcuffs for waaaayyyy too long in season 1. Also Giranamo Jackson showing up at least once a season was hilarious.
Pss. Locke as Heisenberg in Breaking Bad would have worked well. He had great chemistry with Aaron Paul.

Please help find old song
Hi please help me find this song
I have no lyrics but i know its 2000's-90's and the music video is of a group of people running through the forest while a green beam shoots from the sky and turns them to stone, they make it to the edge of the forest but a girl is turned to stone just before she gets out and is transported to a black void where the singer is and her statue body breaks into little pieces. Its sound reminds me of incubus. Thank you
