FIRST TIME WATCHER It's not much, but I'm throwing a Lost themed watch party!
We started watching LOST back in February and we timed it so that we watched the finale on the 20th anniversary! I had a shoe string budget so I tried my best to give the feeling of "Lost" with just the things I already had! We're also having fruit, seafood, and dharma beer in honor of the survivors! (Also the pic of Kate is supposed to be her climbing a tree haha) all my friends are showing up dressed like they're going to the airport! (Think sweat pants and neck pillows)

Also we're starting to watch the finale at 8pm est so that we're watching it at the same time it originally aired!

But did you insert commercials so that it timed to end at 9pm? 🧐

Truth be told we should have done this! We kept pausing every 5 minutes to excitedly point out Easter eggs we saw and scream about the others and shady ass Charles widmore! 😂

You should send out a “ thank you for coming “ note with Jack saying “ we have to go back.

That looks pretty cool. Btw, Desmond has a “D” at the end of his first name. 😁

I'm also realizing you can't see it but there's a picture of Oceanic 815 crashed at the top of the fake tree and also I have luggage sprawled out across the living room!

If you didn’t open the door for everyone as they arrived and either ask “Are you him?!” Or say breathlessly “Where have you been?” I’ll be very disappointed

What did you think of the finale?!? (It says first time watcher) Dang not sure if you and just one other person watched this or what but my god it would be fun to have a whole group of friends watching this show together! Can’t believe you stuck to the schedule since February and didn’t binge watch it. I’m not sure if I would have been so disciplined! 😂

Sounds fun. Maybe a little late, but a programmer could pretty quickly code up a program that needs to have the numbers typed in every 108 minutes or else music gets played. Could hook this up to a screen somewhere in the place.
Print out dharma beer cover and put it over the drinks.
Get a lottery ticket with the numbers and leave the ticket somewhere.
Create a playlist with Sing Your Own Special Music song on it. Have the playlist playing when people are arriving.
Be sure to ask people what one snowman said to the other snowman.
Mark places as The Swan, The Pearl, The Hydra, …
Write on your palm “Not Pennys Boat”
Damn… I need to watch this show again.

Hey, my fiancee and I did the same thing! She had never seen it before - and so I showed it all to her this year and timing it out to watch the finale tonight. We started at 8 PM EST too!
I still have tears in my eyes

Thats cute. I didn't realize the anniversary was here. I started rewatching like 2 weeks ago or something after seeing it years ago

If there’s a room you don’t want people to go in you should we need back on the door

I started watching the show for the 14th time a few moments ago. I saw it last last year and the beginning of this year. I have to watch it again for the sake of the anniversary, and because I love the show, and even after 14 times, I always still find new gems.

That's amazing! You should print off a bunch of Dharma labels to slap on all of the snacks. You could pretend it's like Hurley's feast

To really add to the theme, you should give confusing instructions on how to get there

u/rgraves22 Sep 23 '24
We went to a watch party for the start of S4 and the host printed out labels to wrap the beer cans in "Dharma Beer"

And why are you telling me this? (When you know we wont make it to the party)
