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,

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

First time watching/finishing question

What was Jacob’s story? Why are they able to pass on the responsibility of taking care of the island? Is that an eternal role? Why is his (adoptive) mom? I understood the implications for all the seasons but the last season didn’t make sense (but was satisfying as a conclusion).

My impression was that the island was purgatory and that’s what made it the battleground for morality. It defied the laws of nature and was where people with gray morales were stranded. But we see people leave the island willingly??

I’ve googled a lot and have become more confused as I read more. What the hell happened at the end? Was Desmond the real main character instead of Jack?? (My personal theory because I love Desmond shhhhh).

Spoilers Walt Storyline

I’m on my first rewatch and what still confuses me is the Walter storyline, they seem to set him up as a mystical seer of something. All for him to just disappear and not go back to the island with everyone else? I couldn’t find anyone talking about this before sorry if it’s a repeat I’d just like some clarity lowkey, was there a storyline that was thrown out, I thought everything was planned from the start. But I understand that later seasons of any show get messy and things have to change.

Could Lost be seen as an allegory of the search for a better society?

Question about Walt

Did the Others kidnap Walt to rescue him?

Like they did with Alex?

Juliette and Kate

Kate is such an annoying character. She is irrational, temperamental, overly emotional and kind self centered.

And nothing highlights all of her flaws more than her being trapped w Juliette, who is level headed, intelligent and thoughtful.

In the first 2 seasons Kate kind of had this intriguing mystery to her, though I dont believe Evangeline Lily's acting really did Kate's character justice.

However, in the third season they reduced her to this like temperamental toddler thats always lashing out at people and throwing tantrums and is self righteous and makes all of these stupid decisions.
