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.

whats the backround song in s1 e1 when charlie, jack, and kate are serching for the cockpit and it starts to rain?

It comes up frequently in season 1 and 2, mostly when somebody is walking through the jungle. I suppose to evoke a mysterious feeling, because the song is somewhat unsettling.

My guess is that the intstrument used is the xylophone, and it repeats 5 notes over and over.

Charlie and Locke's relationship

Did Locke ever have a reaction to Charlie's death? I feel like Locke was really busy doing other stuff in S3 while Charlie was busy trying not to die, to the point that after they bury Eko the two kinda never interact.

Any thoughts on that relationship?

Finished my first re-watch and "The New Man In Charge"

I just finished my first re-watch, my second time viewing. The first was the original airing which ended in 2010. I was just a troubled kid then, a senior in high school headed for some Charlie Pace style drug problems, and I didn't have the emotional maturity or cognitive bandwidth to really appreciate the show. It's a force of nature, and "The End" was absolutely beautiful.

I've also watched "The New Man in Charge," it was intriguing. "The End" really brought a sense of closure to the show, seeing the characters remember the importance they played in each others lives was really emotional. I felt like "The New Man in Charge" left a door wide open for future seasons of the show. Personally, I would love to see what happened after Lapidus and the rest landed, Claire reuniting with Aaron, Walt back on The Island, etc.

I remember the writers really wanted a definitive end date to avoid ending up in ABC's chains, and so I am kind of surprised at how much potential they deliberately left for future seasons. Thanks for watching with me, I've been watching the exact same epidotes in my re-watch as a few of you and it's been great to read your posts.

New Episode of "Not Penny's Podcast" is LIVE!!

Apologies for those who have been listening. We had to take a couple weeks away for life happenings but we are back with a brand new episode focusing on Rebecca's first thoughts after seeing "White Rabbit" and "House of the Rising Sun"!

If you are not familiar with the show, as we are still relatively new, it is a two-person show with me, Michael, a "Lostie" who watched live during the original broadcast plus multiple rewatches, and my co-host, Rebecca, who is watching LOST for the VERY FIRST TIME!

A few people gave us some early feedback that I was spoiling things and being a little too loose lipped during discussions, so starting with this show I hope you will notice there should be a big change there.

Thank you to all who are listening, and we hope you keep going with us! We are doing 1-2 episodes of LOST per podcast episode so our hope is to get through the series in roughly a year through weekly uploads. The show is up on Spotify and Apple Podcasts, and we are working on other platforms including YouTube, Amazon Music and Pocketcasts. Hope you all enjoy!
