Season 1: Favorite Instances of the Numbers
Spoilers Ahead
On the Millennial TV Podcast, Jess is watching the show for the first time and I'm her Richard Alpert / Sherpa through her first time on the island. She's about to reach the episode Numbers in a few weeks and I want to be able to call back to all the fun appearances of the numbers that have already occurred in season 1. But instead of just an indexed list of all, cuz that's boring, thought it would be fun to get this community's opinion: what are your FAVORITE instances of the numbers so far? Kate's capture reward being 23 thousand dollars? The flight number itself being 815?
You can also send an email and I'll read and respond to it on the show: millennialtvpodcast@gmail.com

Lost Season 6 finale
Just watched the ending episode and man I've got so many questions. I liked the ending and it was really good and some moments were so emotional. Now I've got that empty feeling after finishing one of the best series I've watched. Last few weeks have been so good watching lost and I've loved it a lot.

Currently at "The Man from Tallahassee" on a rewatch, I think I finally understand Ben's box metaphor
From Ben : "What if I told you that somewhere on this island there's a very large box? And whatever you imagined, whatever you wanted to be in it, when you opened that box, there it would be. What would you say about that, John?"
I think Ben is talking about the core of the island, and if my theory that this energy is like Final Fantasy 7's lifestream is correct (ie. it's where all souls come from and go back to when a lifeform's physical envelope dies), it's also what allows the cast to have this shared dream after their deaths in season 6 (the flash-sideways). There sure was "whatever they wanted to be in it" so they could finally feel happy and complete before they moved on.
And it makes Locke's reply "I'd say I hope that box is big enough to imagine yourself up a new submarine" absolutely hilarious since he's thinking so down-to-earth physical stuff when Ben was thinking about spiritual stuff you crave for in your life like love, etc. 😂

What is your favorite Jack yelling quote?
I think mine is either “DAMMIt, KATE ,RUN” or “I MARRIED HER”
Edit: quote was “KATE, DAMMIT, RUN” my bad

Ben- a foil? Who is he in regards to Jack and John?
Hello, me again. I think I’m just in awe because I feel like I understand so much more about this show then in previous rewatches, and I love hearing other people’s thoughts.
We have Jack, the man of science, and John, the man of faith. I’m not sure how Ben is viewed as a main character but I’m curious where he fits in with that narrative? Albeit him being a terrible person who chose the island over his daughter, I think he’s a wildly interesting character too, and was wondering what people’s thoughts were on that

If you had to build a survival team from Lost, which 3 characters would you choose?
You’re stranded on an island indefinitely (not specifically the island but any). You can only pick three characters from the cast of Lost to form your survival team.
Who do you choose, and why?
Think long-term survival: food, shelter, medicine, leadership, problem-solving, and not killing each other.
Bonus:
Who would you absolutely not pick, even if they had useful skills?
Are you optimising for survival, sanity, or loyalty?
Curious to see people’s logic, not just favourites.
Below is list to remind you of the possible picks:
Jack Shephard,
Kate Austen,
James “Sawyer” Ford,
John Locke,
Hugo “Hurley” Reyes,
Sayid Jarrah,
Sun-Hwa Kwon,
Jin-Soo Kwon,
Charlie Pace,
Claire Littleton,
Michael Dawson,
Walt Lloyd,
Shannon Rutherford,
Boone Carlyle,
Rose Nadler,
Bernard Nadler,
Ana Lucia Cortez,
Mr. Eko,
Libby Smith,
Cindy Chandler,
Benjamin Linus,
Juliet Burke,
Richard Alpert,
Ethan Rom,
Tom Friendly,
Alex Rousseau,
Daniel Faraday,
Charlotte Lewis,
Miles Straume,
Frank Lapidus,
Desmond Hume

Looking for a Lost Photoshoot
I think it was during the first season the cast did a photoshoot for a magazine. Maybe People or Entertainment Weekly? They were having a viewing party - I’m pretty sure at Evangeline’s house but they were watching outside. There were a lot of oranges and warm colors in the shoot like maybe it was shot at sunset? I did some googling and couldn’t find it. Does anyone remember what I’m talking about or know where to see those pics?

Yule log anybody?
I just found myself singing 'Yule log, anybody?' to the tune of 'You all, everybody' as I was serving myself a slice chocolate log. Everytime I see a Yule log now I'm going to think of this song, it just fits too well.
Has anyone else ever remixed the lyrics of 'You all, everybody' for their own amusement? I'd love to hear them.

Something i appreciate about Lost more and more
So , i just watched the latest volume of stranger things which is a show i watched since its initial release. And although i like the show, a huge reason why i think Lost has become my favorite show of all time after watching it all over the past 2 years is because of the fact that Lost had real stakes.
Lost kept you on edge at all times because the show had real stakes and consequences. and even beyond that, in some cases some characters were just flat out unlucky. not everyone got to have a happy ending and that's just how life is. it made the show feel more immersive despite its mystical/super natural elements. Sometimes characters escaped bad situations and sometimes they didnt. and thats part of why i Love lost so much.
After watching stranger things (spoiler if you havent watched vol 2) i am beyond disappointed that the show is afraid to actually kill any side/main characters regardless of the situation there in. It just makes me lose immersion on the show and its a factor on what separates how much i enjoyed a show like Lost, vs how much i enjoy a show like ST.
and its not about wanting characters to die just because, but its to feel like the forces they are going against , etc, are actual threats.
