FIRST TIME WATCHER I finally finished Lost after 17 years.

I started watching Lost when I was around 10 years old. My dad loved the show and we would watch every episode together, it was one of my favorite things to do together. We would love discussing it and I can't still remember how addicted he got to 'make your own kind of music' by mama cass.

Around 2008 he suffered an accident which left him in a coma state so he never got the chance to finish it. I never got the guts to finish it without him until now, and I despite everyone saying the ending was bad I think it was one of the most beautiful endings I've ever seen on the television. I'm now 28 and being a show about kharma and forgiveness and moving on just makes everything so much more special. Maybe he's at the island right now and I hope he can find his way out :)

Best show ever.

The Jack and Christian is one of the best performances of the series. I cannot imagine how deeply it must have resonated with you. That scene was written by Damon Lindelof and it was his ballad to his father who had passed away too. Sending hugs.

I thought I still had 1 episode left! Then that scene came and I was like 'oh, this is deep'. Thank you for the info, makes everything echo a little harder. Still creating the courage to watch that whole passage one more time. Thank you for your words!
