Lost Dream
Hi, please remove if not allowed. I had a vivid dream that I thought some of you might enjoy, and I had to share it somewhere.
It would have taken place at the beginning of season 2, Ben was dressed for a journey with everything he'd need for a hike, along with Henry Gale's ID. He was setting off to fool the 815 survivors as an imposter. Before he left, Juliet gave him a kiss, and Ben said "don't make a deal with him".
Am I Walt?

On my 4th rewatch and S5 truly is THAT b*tch
Honestly, no duds. Each episode is amazing. I remember watching it as it aired and it confused the f out of me, but it's turned into my absolute favorite along with S4.
Still, one question. Did Ben recognize Sawyer, Jin, Sayid, Miles, Hugo, Kate and Jack back in S2? I mean, he had met them all in the 70s when he was a kid. Either the writers had no clue they'd go the time travel route in the future or they simply made it seem like Ben was lying and didn't want anybody know he had already met some of the survivors.
Also, Ben is this subreddit's fave and most of you hate Kate, so remember: if it weren't for Kate, Ben would have died.
All glory to Kate, then.
EDIT
Just got to the part with Hurley asking Miles some incredibly important questions and it all made sense. And then Richard saying Ben wouldn't remember anything once he saves him.

The Constant
I've been re-watching Lost since it first aired, and had totally forgot how good this episode was. Love how it was just subtly slotted into the Season 4 episodes. Whilst I remember the focus of the show slipping a little around this time, The Constant just sharply realigns it into a mini sci-fi movie of its own. Stellar stuff!

I think the island wants me back
So a lil background… i watched lost 3x now and i think the island wants me back. The first time i watched lost is by myself because the noscript hooked me and i got intrigued and im glad i watched it. Second one was with my mom (rip mom i miss u). Third one was with my dad. And this time i think im gonna watch it with my lil bro or by myself i guess because he’s busy with school. So the reason why “i think the island wants me back” is that i have a playlist of original scores of films. I LOVE MUSIC. Sooo… been listening to different genres every other time (whenever what my mood is up to). So i think this time im listening to scores and ive stumbled upon michael giacchino’s score for lost and it felt… home. So to end this… i will gladly go back to the island. So thats my story :)

Some of my unpopular LOST opinions
1. The first arc of season 3 is not that weak, it's a very great arc that shows Ben's peak manipulations much better than the temple arc. The worst ep was stranger in a strange land but I think that the present scenes of that episode are still good, don't talk about Jack's flashbacks to me however.
2. Some of the hate Kate gets is because of misogny and nothing else. She is written very consistently, and some of the other characters who are more flawed than her get far less criticism Locke, Sayid, Sawyer.
3. The show should've had more unsolved mysteries - like not the plot related ones but I think season 6 should've have given us more of the geographical cool locations, temple was underwhelming, Tower was good and that's it, What about a cool cave? What about the tunnels? come on tunnels or underground Egyptian routes that connect? something at the peak of the hills? I always thought there was a crater somewhere, when i watched it for the first time. And more things about the lore of the island except just across the sea.
But this show should've explained some older mysteries in season 5,6 better as well. They are for the most part implied or vaguely addressed.
4. The numbers should've been used more in season 6, like something that we can piece together, to make something that maybe hints towards the future plot?
5. Some people don't like Flash Sideways but I disagree, this was a brave move, and it absolutely works in this show, It is the best concept.
6. Vincent should've appeared in the show more like I don't remember any scene of him and Jack except the pilot and the finale.

Would you do what Jack perceived as the right thing to do?
His father killed someone by medical negligence and Jack told the board the truth even though his father wanted him to cover for him. It eventually led to his father dying in Australia by drinking himself to death
Would you do the same thing?

A new theory on Francis Bacon and the Island as a whole
I was listening to a podcast on Sir Francis Bacon, and suddenly I started hearing things that I could not refrain from connecting to Lost. I looked it up on Google and this subreddit, but found no mention of it. So, either I am making some pretty thin connections or I'm onto something new here.
It is no secret that Abrams and the show's writers loved cramming as many references to Enlightenment-era philosophers and other thinkers as they could into the show. Most notably, John Locke, Jeremy Bentham, Kate Austen, Danielle Rousseau, and Desmond David Hume, but the list goes on. The show also grapples with broad philosophical concepts covered by these philosophers. There are even a couple of episodes with names that reference philosophical concepts (Tabula Rasa, The Greater Good). This reference pattern in the show is so notable that there's even a page for it on the Lost wiki (https://lostpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Philosophers)
Interestingly, although so many of these Enlightenment-era philosophers are referenced, a very important one is missing; Sir Francis Bacon. This theory, of which I seem to have stumbled across completely by accident, might bridge this gap and show that there actually is, in fact, a reference to Bacon in Lost, and a very large one at that. In his novel, "The New Atlantis," Bacon describes a mythical island called Bensalem that bears striking similarity to the island in Lost.
In short, Bensalem is an island whose existence is shrouded from the outside world, yet whose inhabitants know of the outside world. The island was first found when a boat wrecked on its shores many years ago. Since its discovery, the island has hosted a caste of people who have built a society that Bacon describes as "...the virgin of the world. You shall understand that there is not under the heavens so chaste a nation as this of Bensalem; nor so free from all pollution or foulness." This group of people all speak and converse in Scholastic Latin (albeit alongside Greek and Hebrew), and, as is of key importance to his novel, host a state-sponsored scientific inquiry on the island called Saloman's House. There are various locations run by Saloman's House on the island, one such being an observatory, each performing different experiments in different fields, all in the sake of furthering human knowledge and understanding. The island also has inventors who attempt to construct physics-defying creations such as perpetual motion machines. Noticing any similarities?
I might add that the name "Ben Linus" might be a reference to "Bensalem," or "Ben Salem," nearly being an anagram, but that could be a bit of a stretch. So, overall, what are y'all's thoughts? I could be drawing lines where there aren't any, but I am also surprised that I am the first to mention this.

Lost references several influential philosophers, particularly when naming its characters and episodes. This encourages viewers not only to appreciate the show as a character-based drama, but to...
I always chuckle when I see Keamy (Kevin Durand) in Austin Powers 2!

How the times have changed
I remember watching list for the first time as an almost out of high school kid. No, not when it aired, when it came to Netflix (maybe 2014/2015?). Since then I’ve probably seen the whole show at least 8 times with the addition of a “Chronologically Lost” version.
Let me say, as someone who experienced this as their first “Big” TV Show/Series, it has been a weird experience aging along with it… On a first watch, all that mattered was the drama. I saw the character progression but was too young to understand the full depth of emotion sometimes. Now as I age (comical I’m only 28) I actually feel more from watching the show again through almost a different lens.
My childhood best friend passed away almost 5 years ago and left me with CPTSD. I’m not looking for sympathy in the comments by any means, but man after so many years finally seeing this show again has such a deep impact on me. There are so many episodes that make me cry uncomfortably now. Even though that’s the case, almost every episode (while they may make me cry) gives me a reason to laugh, a reason to love, a reason to believe in something better for the future…
I know this show has had a weird/divisive past, but even with its flaws, there really is something hidden in here anyone can connect to. Almost makes me feel like people who refuse to watch are just afraid of their own emotions.
Idk, I’m a long time lurker on the sub, first time poster, but just wanted to put something out there

If Hugo could see the dead, does it mean that Dave was a real person?
Can't remember if this was ever established. I know he is known as his imaginary friend, but then it's confirmed that Hugo can indeed see the dead. When he was in Santa Rosa, did all of the dead ones from the island visited him for real (as Jacob or Richards wife), or he was just crazy?
