Does Anyone Else Love How Lost Brings Back Dead Characters?”

I’m watching Lost for the first time and I’m still in Season 3, so no spoilers please.

One thing I absolutely love is how characters who have been killed off still come back for flashbacks. Lost is the first series I’ve seen where it happens this frequently. Ian Somerhalder( Boone), who was killed off in Season 1 and is also a very busy actor, still shows up in Seasons 2 and 3 multiple times. Shannon, who I heard wanted to be written off the show and honestly I didn’t care much since she didn’t have much going on after Boone’s death, still appeared in Nikki and Paulo’s backstory. Ethan, the high school teacher. even when their screen time is less than a minute with or without any line, the actors don't mind showing up.

Most shows only bring back major characters after they die, but Lost is so inclusive with its world that even background characters pop up once in a while. I love that.😂❤️ It makes the show feel richer and more connected.

Anyone else feel the same way?🤣🤣

I found the Dharma initiative!!!!!!

If you go to Google (IDK if it'll work on other search engines) and search up the numbers '4 8 15 16 23 42', you get the regular page, looking like this. Uhh... skim over the image cause I dunno how to spoiler images.

Candidates

If you haven’t watched or in your first watch do not read further. I am sure this has come up in the past, but since then there are probably plenty of people that have finished it.

I have a question for everyone and what they think about my choice of who the candidate(s) should have been, and who you would have chosen if different from the show., or even if you stick with the shows outcome. With Jack being the one that was “chosen,” and then Hugo right after. IMO this was the plan all along.

I will be vagueish here just in case people do continue to read that don’t want to but do anyway. Being Man in Black alluding that the other one manipulated everyone to do what they did to get to the end point.

Anywho! I think Rose and Bernard would have been a better choice. My reasoning, J wanted someone that had no one IE changing his mind about on Kate because of Aaron.

Rose and Bernard became happily content with their situation. Rose was also had a keen situational awareness for people. She’d be able to tell when someone was good or evil. She could use this for the next person(s) to relieve them. Also with Bernard always trying to help everyone, he could become kind of
the next Richard. learning information on the candidates brought to the island and bringing that information to Rose. She in turn use that information to weed out people she doesn’t think could do that job.

Also I think they’d be good because of them being happy now. Instead of someone being lonely for god knows how long, they’d always have each other.

"See you in another life."

Hi everyone.

A couple weeks ago, the wife and I finished LOST. We watched it on and off from the beginning of the year... few episodes here and there.

I remember this show being a big deal back in the day. I watched most of the first season and some of the second season but I was much more of a 24 fan back then. Somehow I ended up losing interest in LOST early in the second season during its original run.

However, there was a quote "See you in another life." that I remembered for years and I knew it came from this show, specifically in season 2 episode 3 (Desmond and Jack are in the jungle). I actually misquoted it many times throughout the years, with me saying instead "See you in the next life." (Did this at a few funerals.) It wasn't until this rewatch that I realized I had misquoted it throughout the years.

Anyway, I think LOST hits differently as an adult. As a teenaged high school kid, the show to me was about people surviving a plane crash and battling some monster in the jungle. But as an adult, it's much different, more about connections and what not. I'm amazed that, after I lost interest, the show wasn't spoiled for me for all those years. I don't remember hearing about the ending of the show and how people reacted to it. For us, when we did the rewatch, it was like watching a whole new show for the first time, even tho the first episode first aired like 20 years ago.

The show was awesome, a great concept, and like many of you, I've searched for something else that could compare to it. But there really isn't anything. There's just something about it...

So thanks for the wild ride!

See you in another life.

What if Jin and Sun weren’t candidates but their daughter was?

I don’t know if anyone has ever theorized this before but it is interesting. When Jacob came to their wedding, he touched both of them at the same time and in MIB’s cave, only the name Kwon was written on the wall. Plus the baby was conceived on the island, which isn’t a coincidence. But what do y’all think?

Question about Charlie

so something I’ve always wondered. if the island can heal lockes paralysis, and heal roses cancer. how did Charlie get dope sick?


I would argue paralysis and cancer are much harder to cure than some withdrawals.


at first I thought it was because the island knew Charlie needed to be put through that to grow and become his best self. but I don’t think the island actively thinks like that.

Don't know if this is the right place but there's a book I need help finding that I read in 7th or 8th grade so I know I'm not insane

It starts with a girl and her mom with the mom forsing her daughter on a trip to a farm the only important things I remember is that a cow gives birth and that the cow does later. and I think the daughter knows when it will give birth before any one else

Rewatching Lost and I’m confused about one thing.

So I'm doing a rewatch, and something keeps bugging me. Every time the show cuts between the island and the "outside world," the timeline feels a bit off. Like, sometimes it feels synced, sometimes it feels like the island is moving weirdly compared to everything else.
Did the writers ever actually explain how the time flow was supposed to work? Or is it just one of those things we're all supposed to shrug at?
I don't remember caring about this the first time around, but now I'm like… wait, what?

jack’s main “theme” throughout season 1

While rewatching season 1, i noticed a common theme centered around Jack. It starts in episode 3, where Jack is searching the plane for supplies to save the marshal, and inside he finds Sawyer. They talk, and after a bit, Sawyer says something along the lines of “how far are you willing to go to save him?”

Another example is when Boone is dying, and Jack tries everything, goes incredibly far to try and save him, knowing deep down that he can’t.

Another not as great example is when Charlie is dying. Kate tells him that he is basically already dead, but Jack keeps on going, going as far as he can. In the end, it ends up working, though.

So, the theme i have gathered here is that Jack is willing to go incredibly far just to save someone. Are there any other examples of this? Is this still established past season 1?

A question about Amy Goodspeed and child.

So we know that women who get pregnant on the island die in pregnancy. As far as I can ascertain he got pregnant on the island and delivered on the island, and was healthy afterwards. Plot hole or did I miss something?

Season 3 Finale

wow that was a crazy finale man. Charlie dying and then the flash forward i guess at the end where Jack is going crazy trying to find the island.

im kinda sad they finally left and it sucks seeing Jack like that too im not gonna lie.

S3 was definitely my favorite of the first 3 i think, but how good are the next couple seasons?

How did you guys like the finale of S3?

Henry Gale

I feel like Henry Gale is such a big name in Lost, every fan knows the name and offcourse not because we seen him but because Ben used his name for a while.
But after season 2 he is never mentioned again.

After watching season 5 i wonder if they missed their opportunity to give him a small part while our losties are time travelling.

Just like when Sawyer watched Claire give birth i feel like a character could have a small interaction with him. Maybe the moment he crashes, maybe a talk or maybe the murder itself, something…
Feels like its missing from the series for me.

If not, at least then maybe a cameo in a flashback of somebody.

I just feel his name is so big in the universe the original character deserved some screentime.

Starting S4

so im gonna start S4 tonight I think, and I was just wondering if they do land all of this and have a great finale (mostly because I remember watching GOT and being so invested then they straight up threw all the potential out the window with the last 2 seasons).

especially because it looks like we are moving away from the island and will go to their normal lives and stuff, but still really excited to see how Jack got like that, what will happen with Des and Penny, where Locke goes after, and like everybody else's story.

honestly just asking this because most ppl say S4 and S5 are their favorites and just kinda worried if there's a big fall off in S6 or something.

Despite the most "troubled" background, Sayid is the most decent person on the island. Bravo Abrams! Also why is he allowed to be this hot? T.T
