Rewatch?

I really enjoyed watching the series years ago. So many series have come and gone since then. Have you rewatched Lost recently? Is it worth starting over? Keep in mind I will have to convince my sig other as well it’s worth it to rewatch so this question is really "is it worth convincing my sig other to rewatch" (i only have so much street credit with her). I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending of Lost. I felt some tense moments weren’t resolved like I had hoped for instance the monster things running around in the jungle in season 1 (it’s been awhile since I watched)

Finally Starting Season 4

It's been like 2 months since i finished Season 3 and have been putting it off but im finally starting Season 4 and the first 5 minutes did not disappoint lmaooo

with Hurley saying something like Oceanic Six and i guess now the flashbacks will be flashes to the future which is also crazy.

i feel like this season will be even better than Season 3 which is my favorite so far.

What did you guys think of the premiere of S4?

How did Hurley save Kate from the submarine?

I searched for the answer to this question in this sub but couldn't find anyone who has already asked it!


It seemed convenient to me because supposedly Hurley didnt know how to swim.

I met Jorge Garcia. Who have you met?

In 2010 I was living in London and met Jorge Garcia. The show had not yet finished if I remember correctly. I stopped in the Tesco Express on Baker Street before class and there was Jorge Garcia perusing the produce section! He looked EXACTLY like on the show; T-shirt, shorts, the hair, the whole Hurley. At first I wasn't going to say anything but I thought my friends wouldn't believe me. I asked if he was Jorge Garcia and he said "Yes" (he didn't seem thrilled to be recognized). I then said I just wanted to say hello and I loved the show. He said "thanks". I then said bye and he said bye. Three words, haha! I guess he's the taciturn type.

I love this shot of the season 2 cast that I have as my profile with Jack and Ana front and centre. This proves to me that before they scrapped their romance storyline, they would have become the co-leaders of camp.

Michael Emerson’s face-The End

Watching The End and hit pause with tears in my eyes at Michael Emerson’s face when Hurley asks if he’ll help him care for the island. That moment of being seen, feeling wanted. Oh, Benry. You were a really good Number Two.

Finishing again

For the 8th rewatch in a year and a half. I’m on the last episode. I’m in shambles. This masterpiece is stunningly tragic and beautiful. I love this show. I love the LOST fam. Much love everyone.

Edit:

The juxtaposition of watching the characters reunite in the sideways while simultaneously watching them lose each other in the real timeline is exquisitely written.

So apparently a super rare version of the pilot actually exists

It's already very well known that before the show even began, there was a rough cut of the pilot that had an incomplete score leaked on the internet. It was an hour and a half long and would've presumably aired in a two hour slot, but ABC instead chose the route of splitting the episode up and airing it as two parts. But one interesting thing I did find out that a lot of fans probably don't know is that shortly after the original airings for both parts, ABC re-edited and combined the two episodes together. The pilot was officially re-broadcast on October 2, 2004 in a single two hour block, a few days before the show's third broadcast episode would air. Unfortunately this version of the pilot was never seen again and despite it existing, Disney still chose to release the two part version of the pilot on DVD and Blu-ray instead. Personally I think the pilot works better as a combined episode rather than in two separate parts. It's not really anything special as it doesn't have any "extra" footage, but it does re-arrange the scenes a bit differently (with less commercial black fades) and overall just flows better in an unbroken format. I'd say it's at least a big improvement over the earlier rough cut as well.

Terry o Quinn & Josh Holloway in

Rewatching for the first time in around a decade and my third rewatch overall.

I remember not enjoying season 6 very much but I’m 3 episodes in and absolutely loving it at the moment and genuinely don’t want the show to end.

The big things I’ve noticed is that Terry (Locke) & Josh (Sawyer) are absoloutly killing it this season. Sawyers general depression/dismissiveness of Jack/Kate and escaping from the others is so well played and you really feel the emotional impact Juliet’s death has on him. There’s no more of this will they/wont they Kate stuff that felt a bit forced last season.

Then you’ve got MIB impersonating John. His monologue to Ben playing on his heart strings. WHAT A SCENE “I don’t understand” then Smokey insulting John fully cements him as despicable.

Watched Lost for the first time: Thoughts

Having watched a majority of the big TV shows (bar Sopranos, The Wire, Mr Robot), Lost was one of the ones I still hadn’t watched, so over my time off at Christmas and into January I gave it a whirl, and for the most part was absolutely fantastic…

Theme: Going into it I genuinely didn’t know it was sci-fi, I thought it was literally just a survival show (like walking dead in a sense, yes zombies aren’t realistic but 95% of what happens is). And it was only when I first saw the smoke monster that I was sort of taken back a bit thinking, “this isn’t at all what I was really expecting”, then went onto google and IMDb and there it was; “Sci-Fi”. And having then seen that, I wasn’t actually put off by the smoke monster then aha. And actually made me way more intrigued than before. But it’s such a blend of comedy, action, sci-fi, adventure, etc etc that it really doesn’t feel primarily like a sci-fi show. It blends all of those genres so well together. 9/10

Characters: I think this is genuinely one of the only shows that have so many “main” characters, that also feel so so different to each other, and actually are for the most part all fantastic. The backstories of them added so much depth and emotion to them. John Locke being my favourite one, who I think is in my top 5 TV Show characters of all time now. What it does so well is also how they never got boring. For 120 episodes, to have the characters stay as interesting as day 1 is some feat, especially with the large quantity of them. I think the only season I really couldn’t care less for some of the characters was season 6 with some of Widmores people, felt they added nothing. Then Naomi (I think it was, the British girl who John killed), was the only other one I didn’t care for. But the rest of that crew were fantastic for only being added in later. Lapedus = GOAT. I think the only other show that does characters so well from such a big cast would be The Walking Dead, but in that, characters got killed off every season, Lost didn’t really do that (bar Charlie) and managed to keep them feeling fresh. Kate I think out of the original lot was the only one I felt was a tad flat. Backstory was sort of interesting, but kept going between Sawyer and Jack and you didn’t know who she really preferred etc. not a bad character, just a bit less interesting. 10/10

Plot: Like I mentioned in the theme, I thought the plot going into this was pure adventure and survival, but the learning of the Sci-Fi, I was very interested. However I will say, the plot from season 1-3 was immaculate. The (and I hate this word) ‘vibes’ were just perfect. Had enough mystery to keep me interested, with a nice touch of every theme a TV Show needs. And again comparing to walking dead, it’s similar with how the early seasons were TV perfection, but as it went on, it sort of lost its charm. But not has bad as TWD, no chance. It was still interesting, but pushed the mystery side over the rest of the themes way more to the point where it lost its charm. As I said definitely kept me curious, but didn’t look forward to the next episode as much as the earlier seasons. 7/10 (10/10 S1-3, 5/10 S4-6)

Music: Pretty simple, very beautiful, Michael G very talented in this area, done some of the most iconic pieces in media.

Overall: For me it’s just such an interesting show that despite its flaws towards the end (not really flaws just didn’t hook me as much), it’s one of the best things I’ve watched. But you can’t really criticise the last part of the show when every other massive TV show from this period in life all had similar cases. Prison Break, Walking Dead, Game Of Thrones. All peaked in the early seasons. With a great large cast of characters. But, out of the lot, only Lost managed to keep the characters GREAT. And that’s what makes the show so special imo, is the characters. I think if the show had any other characters that weren’t these, it’d be a 6/10 at most.

This is my first time watching the show, so bound to appreciate different things more and understand

everything a bit more when I rewatch with the Mrs. But from an initial first impressions. Loved it, and definitely was worth the time.

Lost Hawaii Tours

My wife and I will be visiting Hawaii in March. We are spending most of our time in Maui, but we are thinking of trying to squeeze a day trip to Oahu to see some Lost and Jurassic Park movie locations. I only seem to have found 1 tour that offers the North Shore to see the survivors' beach and the valley where Hurley's golf course and van scenes are which is also the Jurassic stampede location. Does anyone have any experiences on a tour for something similar or have been on this exact tour?
