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.

Gone from Netflix :(

I was watching lost, just started the 6th season and it went away from Netflix
Suggest websites where I can complete the show 😭 (for free preferably)

Marvel + LOST

Doomsday is a version of Desmond in a compound keeping everything in order in the multiverse. The [Avengers/FF4/Spider-Man\] blew open the hatch.

My heart

Just finished my second time watching this show.

I finally understood the ending. The first time I watched I was completely wrecked emotionally, but still pretty confused.

This go around, I get it. And I’m even more emotionally wrecked!!!

My husband and son just brought me tissues and kept asking me what’s wrong as the church scene was playing. I’m like “I’m ok guys just give me two more minutes” 😂😂

This is by far..one of the BEST…shows I have ever watched. I’m a major tv person. And I just can’t even comprehend how good this show is. Wowowow.

Just needed to share my love and emotions. None of my friends or family will watch this show, I needed a shoulder to cry on.

Anyways, love you my fellow Losties.

Thoughts on Linus not entering?

I am just curious what people think about Ben not entering the church at the end. What do you think happens to him and why do you think he stayed back— unfinished business? I feel like he’s always got some little trick up his sleeve or something so I’m just curious

Also, do you think he will get to enter later on when he decides or that was his chance and now the “sideways” is gone taking him with it

Remember Jay And Jack?

Back when Lost was originally on the air, there was a great podcast that was hosted by Jay and Jack. I believe it was simply called The Lost Podcast.

I have vivid memories of watching the most recent episode of the show and then re-watching it from my DVR while I analyze framed by frame what was happening in the show. I would then call into the podcast that night with fan theories and they would release an episode the next day and included call in guests that had left a voicemail.

I was featured once or twice as one of those guests. Featured is probably an overstatement, more like they play a recording of my voicemail with my rambling fan theories.

I love this show. I love the community that I created and the excitement that it brought to television each week. It was something that my family and I bonded over every week and I certainly miss those days.

It might be time for a rewatch! :)
