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! :)

How can eko baptized claire along with Aaron if she didn't actually convert?

She clearly wasn't religious since she asked him about baptism and whether she can be with Aaron to afterlife together, but eko says that he'll simply baptized them both immediately to resolve that. But that would mean she has to actually convert but I didn't see any teaching of faith to her, he just poured the water immediately and that's it? Converting takes a lot of faith and time. Not sure what's the significance of the whole baptism stuff in general.

Just finished Lost a couple days ago, here’s my thoughts

‼️SPOILER WARNING‼️(obviously)

First of all, what a beautiful show. I mean really. I’ve let it marinate a couple of days before making this post and it’s safe to say I don’t think I’ll be watching anymore television for about a month as I need to let it sit with me even more. Seasons 5 and 6 are such underrated seasons of television. I don’t think they’re on par with seasons 1-3 but I still loved them. I think when people realize this was never a show about survival but a show about humanity and finding and understanding yourself, that’s when it becomes so much more. Gosh I have so much to say.

The arc Jack goes on in season 6 is PHENOMENAL. I loved his character already but everything after season 3 when he starts to question himself more and more is just brilliant character work. Until… he finally knows exactly who he is as he dies. The show writers definitely took a risk ending the show the way they did, specially talking about the church scene, but I don’t think it could’ve been more perfect. I’ve seen shows that take the easy ending and it’s enough to leave you satisfied but can never give a feeling that the final episode of Lost can give.

The effect art can have on a person is astounding. I watched this show at a time in my life where I was and still am transitioning to adulthood and a ton of stuff was happening. Moving and then moving to college, deaths in my family and health issues, etc… So admittedly, this show took me 6 months to finish but it was truly the constant in my life throughout this time. I’ll forever look back at this show as the show that helped me get through this.

Greatest show ever.

Rachel & Julian

I’m towards the end of my rewatch. Juliet just died 😭😭😭

I’m not sure I’ve ever thought about this before—I’ve imagined Sawyer/Kate/Claire landing and Kate staying in Claire and Sawyer’s lives—connected to Aaron and Cassidy/Clementine…

But do we think James found Rachel and Julian? I’d imagine that during their 70s years, Juliet told him the story of how she came to the island and what she left behind.

Suddenly, I need to believe that James showed up on Rachel’s doorstep to let her know what happened to her sister—how she wanted to get back…and how her last few years on the island were full of love and some normalcy, even if it ended sadly.

This is why we rewatch, right? There’s always something new.

What other shows do you find as poignant as LOST?

Just finished the show a few days ago before it left Netflix! The ending really affected me & struck me as one of the finest representations of the afterlife I’ve ever seen. Having meditated on it a little bit, I think it’s my favorite show that I’ve watched so far. I’ve watched more “perfect” shows (e.g. Breaking Bad) &, while those shows of course can move me time to time, I find that Lost seems to grab my heart & pull it out of my chest. The only other show that has that effect on me is maybe Six Feet Under.

If anyone has a recommendation for other shows as emotional as LOST, mention them below!

Rewatched. Incredible, but confused at ending

Having seen the show for the first time about a decade ago and re-watching it over this past month, I can say, without a doubt, this is one of the greatest TV shows that’s ever been made. And I definitely enjoyed it in its entire entirety more this time through.

That being said, several things about the finale, threw me off at the end.

First of all, where is Michael? He was a vital character to the show. He doesn’t go to heaven? If it’s for killing Ana Lucia and Libby, why is Libby there and not Ana Lucia?

If Jack just died and Hurley is running the island, how is Hurley there in the church with everyone else who is dead?

If Kate and Sawyer got on the plane and left the island, why are they there?

If Kate and Sawyer died somehow in the same timespan, then that would mean Frank, Miles and Richard would have died too. Why aren’t they there?

Where is Walt?

Where is Vincent?

Why is Penny there? The Monster tells Widmore he’s gonna kill Penny when he gets off the island, so she was obviously still alive. How does it make sense for her to be there with all of the dead people?

Why does Kate bite her lip like she wants to bang Jack in the church after she takes his hand as they’re walking to the pews to sit?

Another major problem that I had is that they had Kate choose Sawyer when she had the option of Jack or Sawyer throughout the whole show. Sawyer and Juliet end up together because Jack and Kate are gone. Jack and Kate either got married and divorced or called off the wedding, I can’t remember, but we never even got to witness that. They didn’t work together their whole lives. Jack and Kate weren’t really a good match throughout the whole show and then at the end we are just supposed to accept that they ended up together? It just felt off. Jack always chose saving other people over being with the woman he loved in his life. That’s why Julie Bowen left him. He did it again at the very end when he stayed at the island and told Kate and Sawyer to go to the boat. It just doesn’t add up.

I wish they explained more with the mother and how she was able to have these powers for Jacob and his brother to never kill each other. Obviously, when Desmond pulled out the stone and the light went away, that changed. But, how in the first place was she able to give that power? All we know about her is she stole 2 sons from another woman. We should have gotten more of a backstory for the explanation of the light and the mother.

There’s obviously more to question but I’m not gonna ramble more. It’s almost 1am here after all, but those are the questions at the forefront of my mind.

Confused? Lol

Hey everyone! I’m currently watching Lost for the first time, I’m on the last two or three episodes I believe. And this one detail is driving me kinda crazy, Idk if it’s a plot hole or what. But in the season 5 finale ‘The Incident’ (can’t remember if it’s part 1 or 2), we see Jack and the MiB talking by the statue. The MiB tells Jacob that he’s gonna kill him eventually. Then flash forward to the ‘Across the Seas’ episode, we see that Jacob was living with his mother when he threw the MiB into the light that turned him into the smoke monster. I’m confused because Jacob must’ve lived at that statue years after that happened and was talking to the MiB in his original form, but Jacob had killed his original body several years before when his mom died? I’d assume Jacob went to live at the statue after his mom died? So how did the original body of the MiB meet up with Jacob there? Kind of a dumb detail to get hung up on, I just wasn’t sure if it was a plot hole or if I’m missing something? 😂

For fans of the ending...

Hey guys!

First time posting to this sub.
I used to be a massive fan of lost and loved pouring through the DVD's as a kid, until the ending that is. I used to think the ending was universally agreed upon as a bad ending, but I'm seeing conflicting opinions after looking around.

To the fans of the season finale, did the ending feel right as soon as you watched it? Or did you need to reframe your perspective of the story to enjoy it? And what kind of emotions did you go through after seeing it through?

How do they explain the plane...

After the 6 return, does the media/public just ignore the fact that a fully-intact Oceanic 815 was found on the ocean floor with all passengers abord and dead?

EDIT: I thought the news stated the entire plane was found, no sections missing. They show the cockpit which is how Lupitas knows the pilot is a fake. Maybe the tail section is missing and that's how they explain the Losties surviving?

@lostbackup

the ajira plane

how do you guys think they explained that a plane with 300 people went missing then came back with only the pilot and a girl that was on another missing plane that came back alive somehow and then went missing again and a 300 year old guy that was a prisoner on a ship that dissappeared 300 years ago and a guy from the 815 plane that was announced dead a long time ago with the confirmation of the six survivors that also died on this plane somehow , and miles that might be the most normal one out of them even tho he dissappear for whole 3 years while everyone on his ship died

How do we feel about these bits of dialogue? S4/S5 spoilers

In various interactions with Kate and Ben off the island, Jack says that when Locke came to visit him as Jeremy Bentham, he said things like:

\- Some very bad things happened and it was Jack’s fault for leaving

\- Everyone left behind would die too if he didn’t go back

\- Going back was the only way to keep Aaron and Kate safe

Of course later on we see Locke and Jack’s entire interaction in the hospital and Locke doesn’t say any of this. I’ve always chalked it up to Jack lying to Kate, Ben, and mostly himself to try and justify and grapple with his mental state at the time. I’m curious how others interpreted the difference between what Jack said and what we actually see?
