Stranger in a strange land

Okay, I’ve rewatched this show countless times. About 8+ since it aired. I always hear that S3:EP9 stranger in a strange land it’s the worst episode of lost… and I don’t get it. I’m not here to say it’s good or even great, but I don’t think it gets the rep it deserves.

Yes, of all the jack backstory it’s the weakest. That’s okay. But what’s happening in the present? He let his friends go, and now he’s alone, facing the consequences of his actions

I think this is a good episode, within the season and the place of the story that it is, despite it being the weakest jack backstory(IMO).

This may be a hot take, I like this episode more than some of season 6. While parts are not great, at least it fits well into the story of the season without being an abrupt decay of characters we knew previously.

At the end of the day, it’s hard to say what the “worst” episode of this show is… but is it truly this one?

It seems fine every play through, I’d be happy to hear what you guys prefer to skip over instead. Let me know. <3

Thoughts on Kate as a first time watcher

I just finished lost for the first time and I just had to come on to this subreddit to say that it really irritated me the way that throughout the entire show Kate kept saying to people that she was innocent of the crime she was accused of. I’m sorry, but murdering someone in cold blood but saying you’re innocent because that person was bad isn’t how that works. You’re still a murderer…

A question for our history buffs here: was North America still being casually referred to as "the New World" as late as 1867?

On a rewatch of Lost, I can’t believe I missed this foreshadowing in S1E2

Daddy issues

Anyone else notice all of the characters have some serious daddy issues? James’ and Locke’s speak for themselves, Sun’s father was a gangster, Jack and Claire’s an alcoholic, Hugo’s only came back into his life because of money, Kate’s was abusive, Ben’s was a drunk who blamed him for his mothers death, Penny’s was power hungry, even Jacob and the MIB didn’t even have a dad

Whenever a show finishes, I see lazy mentions of Lost when they talk about bad endings. For me I thought it was a perfect ending so am happy when I see this.

Planned it all out to watch the finale tonight

So I saw Lost was leaving Netflix tonight and luckily I’ve been slowing watching it for over a year now and I was on season 6.

I planned it all out to watch the finale tonight and I gotta say it’s the perfect way to end my year. Really made me think about life and what I want going forward.

Sad it’s leaving Netflix and I’ll see it in another life brother.

Creating a new Lost podcast (Advice Needed)

Hey everyone! I’m a very long-time, diehard Lost fan and am about to create a new Lost podcast in 2026 with my girlfriend. It was her first time watching the show, and we recorded some of her reactions as we went, but are now going to do a more complete podcast.

I’m wondering if people generally prefer a full-on spoiler discussion podcast, or a spoiler-free one? Which one do you think there would be a bigger audience for? Any feedback would be appreciated!

Sawyer and Charlie are making me mad and this is just a rant

just finished s2e13 and I dislike Charlie's character a lot, he is so immature and only thinks about himself, i wish he would go away. like seriously attacking Sun just to get petty revenge on Locke?? and teaming up w Sawyer. like does this man ever reflect on his actions. and then don't even get me started on Sawyer, im waiting for the day Kate's grows better standards and stops batting for him. I kinda resent that sawyer is mainish character cus his storyline and personality pmo so much but oh well i understand why he's there for some anti hero action. but they're both parasites at this point and im getting antsy waiting for any character development. also unrelated but Shannon and Sayid's relationship was kind of so random and forced to me, and I wish sayid would have a more leadership role at this point rather than just having previous scenes w just talking up Shannon and doing subplot tings, and then shannons death was so fustrating cus i felt like i was just getting to know her background and like her character more ugh. also shipping ana Lucia and jack, so waiting for that to happen !

Help me settle a debate

My dad seems to think that they actually were dead the whole time, and that’s why in the finale when they’re all getting their memories back they don’t remember anything from when they left the island. He says characters like Desmond and lepetius were also on 180 and they died at the beginning too. I told him everything that happened on the island happened and Jack dying was him seeing everyone he loved before going to the afterlife, but he won’t budge. Thoughts on the ending??

Did Miles know about the boar...

...in S5E2 because he can talk to the dead? Is he able to talk to dead animals? Is that why he was so confident that he would find something to eat?

Interpretations of the ending in 2010?

I was at my work Christmas party again and finally managed to speak to a distant colleague who initially told me, after I told her I was only on season 2, that everyone was dead the entire time. She was at that time on her third rewatch which I think is absurd.

Since then I of course watched the show, banded together a few of my fellow young colleagues (we’re all in our 20s and missed the original lost train), and it has become my favourite show.

I asked her why she thought everyone was dead the entire time and she gave the typical reasons, but also said basically everyone thought that at the time. And at the very least it was ambiguous.

Is that true? When my fellow colleagues and I finished, none of us had any doubt about the ending.
