I love Lost, those moments were deeply emotional. You feel like you were with them and that you are one of them.

I just got done with season 4, holy shit.
Okay, I need to get this out because I am shook and I'm still crying as I type this post. It was absolutely insane from start to finish.
Starting with 4x13, the tension was off the charts. Jack and Kate following Frank’s tracking signal, reuniting with Sawyer, Miles, and little Aaron… everything about trying to escape while the freighter mercenaries are hunting them had me on the edge of my seat.
Then when we flash Forward to January 2005 and seeing them lie at the press conference about everything that happened on the island hit me hard, but I'm actually glad that they had the confidence to do that in front of those people.
The lies, the guilt, the pressure—it really starts to sink in how messed up their lives have become once they leave. And all the little details—Hurley freaking out at the odometer, Sun confronting her dad, Jack eulogizing Christian and discovering Claire is his half-sister, the show keeps messing with my feelings!!! I can't 😭😭.
Then 4x14… oh my god. I cannot even. The boat explosion alone had me screaming and cursing at the screen. Suns reaction ripped my heart out. I paused the show because that was too much. C4 on the Kahana, the tension of trying to get everyone off safely, Sawyer jumping out, the fuel leak—everything went wrong at the worst possible moment and I just wanted it to stop. Like there's no way that this is what's going on now.
And then the island… just disappeared. Literally vanished in a white-yellow light. I could not believe it. I was shocked, horrified, and crying for the people on the helicopter who had no idea where they would land.
The Ben/Locke stuff, was insane. I loved it, I loved their chemistry. I also got chills from how Ben killed keamy without remorse but for someone he loved, Locke taking leadership of the Others—it’s just… wow.
The ending though is going to be on my mind for a while. Jack confronting Ben absolutely broke me. That moment when Ben tells Jack he can’t return without everyone else who left joining him? Jesus Christ like, where is this show going now??? What emotionally destroyed me though was seeing Johns Body in the casket.
I cannot wait to see how Season 5 handles all of this madness.

I can't be the only one but In Pilot Part 1, where the smoke Monster attacks the Plane is similar to the Spinosaurus scene in Jurassic Park 3

Does anyone else love Frank (chopper pilot) and wish he had been given more screen time?
I’m halfway through S4, the season where we are introduced to Frank. I so wish he was one of the survivors or something. He is such a great character and the show would have benefited from his presence early on.

Rewatched for First Time in 15 Years
I have been trying to get my wife to watch Lost for the better part of the last decade. However, she resisted.
But the tides turned this year when we welcomed our second child. Faced with a full summer of time away from work, she, out of the blue, told me she was willing to give it another try.
And she loved it.
It was such a thrill to watch through her eyes: to see her fall in love with the characters, to see her caught up in the island’s mysteries, to see her gain an appreciation for the “thud” that punctuates so many episodes. But I must admit, for me, it was just as satisfying to watch it again; I gained an even deeper appreciation for the show.
I just wanted to share some anecdotes, given by someone who first watched the show at age 15, finished it at age 21, and never touched it again until now.
SPOILERS AHEAD
- I remembered SO much more about seasons 1-3 than I did the back half of the series. I think that speaks to the show’s diminishing returns after season 3. A lot of the series’ best moments happen in the first half.
- The first 3 seasons are just magical — season 1, especially. The first season feels like an entirely different show, about which I accurately warned my wife. I was right. The show changes after this — not in a bad way, but it definitely changes. But I was struck by just how well the first few seasons hold up 20+ years later.
- That being said, I think I enjoyed season 6 a lot more this time around. The first half in the temple is slow, but once they leave, it really picks up. It has some real standout episodes, chief among them “Ab Aeterno.”
- My season ranks: 1, 3, 6, 2, 4, 5. I could swap 6 and 2 if talked into it.
- My big issues with season 5 don’t even involve the time travel stuff. I actually thought the whole “island moving through time” stuff was kinda fun, albeit absurd. It’s once that stops where it loses me. Once the Oceanic 6 get back to the island, they don’t…really do much. And the Dharma Initiative, built up for like 5 years as this mysterious, shadowy group, turned out to be mostly a group of unlikeable idiots who didn’t really understand anything about the island. That reveal was pretty lame. For those who complain about not getting enough answers, the DI is my counterpoint. Some mysteries are best left as mysteries.
- The season finales range from very good to truly fantastic. Season 3 is the clear winner, but the finale of season 5 kinda saves the whole season. And the series finale was much better upon a second viewing.
- Speaking of, I really enjoyed the series finale. I was so grateful we got meaningful character interaction and resolution. This show was always best as a character drama rather than a sci-fi…whatever Also, I do not get how anybody misconstrues what the flash sideways is; the show is pretty clear about it. People can complain about unanswered questions, but I thought the church ending was handled much better than I remembered the first time seeing it.
- Vincent laying next to Jack at the end is such a beautiful touch. Man, I knew it was coming and it still crushed me. What a good boy.
- People complain about a lack of answers for the show, but I was struck time and time again by how well the show pays off stuff it introduces. The bodies and rocks in the caves obviously have a payoff. Boone hearing a voice on the radio has a payoff. Yemi’s plane, in general, has multiple payoffs. The old bus in season 3 pops up again many times. The statue took years to show up, but it paid off. The psychic Claire visits gets paid off later when we find out he was, well…paid off by a couple in LA and is a total fraud. These are just off the top of my head. There are countless examples. But I really enjoyed the show following up on stuff like that. Very satisfying.
- I wish a few deaths didn’t happen. I loved Mr. Eko; it’s a shame the actor wanted out. Charlie’s death is memorable but I thought the show really missed him in later seasons. And Sun and Jin…their deaths are very emotionally affecting but…they spend the better part of

two full seasons apart, they get like one episode back together, and then they’re both dead. Ji Yeon has no parents. Needless.
