Just binged watched LOST in 3 weeks.
Hey there fellow Lost enthusiats , i am from India and had heard about this show for a long time but i searched on all streaming services and it wasn't available so i had to use some not so legal methods to download it and watch it and this blew me away.(I apologise for the piracy)
Since i am from india and not a Christian so i am a bit confused about a few things and what really happened in the finale , i realized the show specially the finale had some christian references.
First thing I don't understand is that Jack died and only a few like katie , sawyer , the pilot , milos and richard made it, jack saw the airplane flying while dying in the jungle and smiled , but after that the credits roll and we see the plane wreckage of the oceanic flight which made it seem they were all dead when the plane crashed , so the whole story was just the "what could have been" before they died ? Their lives flashing before their eyes ? Or the island and lives they lived there were real , any of it ?
Also in the end jack meets his father and they go inside the church and then his father opens the door and there's light at the end , does that mean thet finally moved on (from a Christian point of view) ? I understand that there's concept of purgatory, so was the alternate timeline in season 6 just a purgatory? If it was then how come katie was there because she was on the plane and was assumed to be safe and live her life and die naturally? So the rest waited for them in purgatory for her to join ? How does that work.
Also in the whole show there's heavy references of my culture like the dharma people saying "Namaste" and the organisation being named "DHARMA" which we call our religion in our local language , the island had a temple with hieroglyphics probably hinting at egyptian influence , the statue near the beach was also some Egyptian god , so that was pretty neat of them to merge so many religious and cultural influences , just wanted to point that out.
Overall i liked the show , probably would have loved it if jack had made it alive but all good things die one day , just wanted to post here because I didn't understand the christian references in the finale season and episode , hope people can shed some light.

Will this be explored later or am I misunderstanding something?
I am watching for the first time and whenever I am watching a show I like to go read the reddit discussion thread of the episode. I am on like episode 8 of season 3 and I saw no one talking about this on the reddit threads so far. It was revealed Ben is Alex’s father. Alex who is also the daughter of Danielle? Will this be explained later or I have got something wrong? No one seems to be talking about it in the threads so that’s why I had to ask.

Do you think Sayid ever caught up with "Say Anything…"?
>HURLEY: They didn't have "Say Anything…" in Baghdad? It's awesome. [...\] You should really check it out sometime. I mean, if we ever, you know, get off this island.
I think he would have liked it, being a hopeless romantic at heart.

Do people really hate Michael for what he did in season 2 ?
Is there really that many people who hate Michael for what he did in season 2?
Because honestly… I understand him 100%.
The entire season is literally about one thing: his son was kidnapped. Walt was taken, and we barely even see him for the whole season. Michael spends the entire time desperate, scared, and completely powerless. So yeah, I’m sorry, but I fully get why he was willing to do anything to get his son back. We’re not talking about a friend or an acquaintance, we’re talking about his child.
Now, I’ll admit it: killing Ana Lucia and Libby was obviously extreme and tragic. He definitely could’ve handled that differently, knocking them out, tricking them, literally anything else. That part is hard to defend.
But aside from that? His motivation makes total sense to me. He was a father whose child was taken, and he was pushed to his absolute breaking point.
So I’m curious: am I really the only one who understands Michael and doesn’t totally hate him for season 2 ?

How Is Lost This Good at Connecting Characters???
Watching Lost for the first time and I’m obsessed with how interconnected all the characters are. They just showed a flashback of Desmond meeting Libby in the café where she offered him her late husband’s boat… and that’s literally the same boat Desmond sailed in on during Ana Lucia and Libby’s funeral 😭 The level of detail and long-game storytelling in this show is actually wild. I love catching these connections.

Question about Sun in S4/5
Watched the show a million times and this one has never occurred to me.
When the O6 leave the Island, their story is that Jin died in the crash, and that only Boone, Libby and Charlie survived for any time.
But Sun got pregnant on the Island - and not particularly early on. She gets pregnant just over a month into her time on the Island, and I assume any OBGYN would be able to establish the time of conception just like Juliet did. And even if they didn't determine that, if Sun went to full term she would appear to be 10 months pregnant.
Obviously they did get away with this part of the lie, I'm not really interested in that part - what I'm interested in is how they might have planned for this. Did they just cross their fingers and hope for a premature birth? Plan to name someone else as the father if someone raised the issue? And why didn't they just list Jin as a survivor who then died?

Lost: Circle is a must
So I know a lot of posts about this subject appears lately, but I just want to add how different it is.
The experience of the flashbacks a regular part of the story makes it all interesting af!
Even though I know what's coming up, even though I hated these parts in the original cut, I find it all fun and interesting.
I can't recommend it enough, obviously only after some rewatches or at least know your way around this world, but I've been binging it non-stop and I can't thank the editor enough for this project.
