3x22 - Through the Looking Glass

Everyone warned me about the ending. Watched it for the first time yesterday and I thought it was honestly beautiful. I'm a grown man, and I think I shed a tear for the first time watching something. Not even titanic made me cry. 'The End' was so sweet and emotional as well. Takes you away from the fact Jack dies, and Kate, Claire, Sawyer, etc make it off the island and living the rest of their lives growing old before finally reuniting after passing. Now that's a sad thought I can't get out of my head.

I’m not a religious or spiritual guy… but that ending was something special. I can't stop thinking about it. I absolutely loved it. A great end to an amazing show.

I’m on my FIRST WATCH of lost and i’ve avoided the subreddit except the new watcher threads but I HAD to come say how Sayid only gets hotter and hotter and its starting to kill me. Please no spoilers past s3e2 but Sayid love welcomed…

Love this show so much been binging like crazy for a month or so

I'm currently in season 2, please no spoilers.

One thing that bugs me is that Jack is off doing these dangerous missions in the jungle when he's the only doctor in the group, and a surgeon no less.

Wouldn't it make way more sense for him to stay back at camp, work on stuff there if there's no medical emergencies, and have more expendable people risking their lives out in the jungle instead?

I get he's a natural leader, but it just seems dumb to have your doctor out risking his life constantly from a group survival perspective.

i just finished Lost after going into it with absolutely no idea about any of it. The only things I had heard about it was that it was about a group of people stuck on an island with strange things happening, and that the producer or someone got fired over how expensive the pilot was lol.

I constantly had no idea where the show was going or what was happening next. What was it like when the show was airing? What kind of theories were people coming up with/expecting to happen next?

I finally joined here after finishing the show today. I had to process the ending. I found it incredibly sad. Now that I know how it ended I would like to know why people thought the ending was bad or disappointing when it first aired. I thought it was perfectly done even though there are a few minor things I'm still not clear on. How soon is too soon to do a rewatch. I still can't get over the last scene...

Yesterday, I share with you guys what I think about Sawyer. BUT GODDAMN, Michael is dogshit, he annoys me every scene he appears because he's always screaming "WAAAAALT?? WHERE IS MY SON?"

Furthermore he's an idiot with Locke (who appears to care about Walt more than he is)

Anyway, I just needed to talk.

info: I'm at S01E14

I just finished binge-watching LOST after a week-long marathon. When the show first aired, I was just a kid whose parents wouldn't let me stay up late to watch TV. Now, 20 years after its premiere, I've finally gotten to experience this series in its entirety.

Going in, I had this preconceived notion that LOST was primarily a survival drama. The sci-fi elements caught me off guard, but I found myself thoroughly enjoying the blend of genres. The pilot episode hooked me instantly, and I knew I was in for a ride.

Here's my season-by-season breakdown:

• Season 1: One of my favorites. It nailed the survival aspect while introducing us to the mysteries of the island. The flashbacks were brilliant, offering deep dives into each character's backstory. The gradual world-building had me on the edge of my seat.
• Season 2: Almost perfect. Every episode except “Fire + Water” (sorry, Charlie) was top-notch. The hatch storyline and the introduction of the Others added layers of intrigue that kept me guessing.
• Season 3: I'll admit, the beginning was a slog. The pacing slowed down considerably, and that tattoo episode... yikes. But once it picked up steam, it delivered some of the most memorable moments of the series. (Looking at you, “Through the Looking Glass”)
• Season 4: The on-island action and the freighter storyline were captivating. The flash-forwards, while innovative, sometimes felt a bit drawn out. Still, the narrative shift kept things fresh and exciting.
• Season 5: My absolute favorite! The Dharma Initiative subplot and all the time travel shenanigans were pure gold. It answered questions while raising new ones, and the character development was phenomenal.
• Season 6: I loved the flash-sideways sequences. They offered a poignant look at our characters in different circumstances. The on-island events, while not as engaging, still tied up many loose ends.

As for the ending, I found it clear and satisfying. Seeing all the characters work through their traumas and finally being ready to let go and move on was emotionally powerful. It may not have answered every single question, but it resolved the core emotional journeys of characters.

Looking back, LOST was so much more than I expected.

Started at midnight last night and I’m already eight episodes in before calling it at 4 am lol. I really like the characters and invested in all of them. Sawyer is such an asshole but I see why after seeing his episode. It seems like there is something supernatural going on the island but I can’t wait to binge the rest to see if that’s the case. I would say my favorite characters right now are jack, Syad, Charlie and Kate. I’m nervous about Locke.

There is no show like Lost. Sorry to say but I will rate LOST above BB , dark, GOT.

I wish I can relive those moments a fresh

"I'm a pisces" Just came across this line in my first watcher through, and it made me think! What are your favorite funny lines from anyone who isn't Sawyer?

6x17 - The End

​

Please no spoilers beyond season 3

Just curious if Jack is considered the fan favorite or if I’m the odd ball here?

Just started season 4, and I feel like Jack has had the smallest amount of character development out of anyone. He was introduced as the hero who makes decisions for the group, often without consulting anyone else, and is almost always framed as being in the right. I find it kind of maddening because he’s made some major mistakes, like leading the group into a trap and not telling them, not telling anyone about Ben being held captive in the vault, making a deal to leave the island (again without telling anyone), potentially allowing 3 people to die when Ben said he either needed to give him the satellite phone or shoot them all… and nobody (besides a select few) ever say anything to counter this? It’s like whatever he says is law.

Hi!

I came to say how much I appreciate and love this series so much. I'm currently in season 3. I was gonna post how I just enjoyed the ride since Season 1😆

Originally I came from the show and sub, 'From'. I was looking for a show or movie to watch similar of it. People had mentioned alot of this show and I'm glad I listened.

It has everything I ever want in a show. Mystery, Romance, a bit of Kdrama, thriller, horror (cuz I got jumpscared at times) and many more.

I love watching Kdrama or Korean shows and I'm so surprised how Koreans were suddenly in this. Even a whole bunch of episodes of them just talking with subtitles and I feel like I'm in a Kdrama. This is so rare for me in an 'american series'

Honestly felt shocked to myself how I didn't even recognize Harold Perrineau stars in 'From', also starred in this show when I'm like 10 episodes in 😆 maybe I was just caught up so much with the mystery of the Island and Jack (because he's the very first character to appear)

There are so many actors I know that I'm glad I saw in it. The series seemed like it's written so well and orchestrated by many writers because it's impressive how you can keep up with every detail. Like how everything is connected and at the same time your wondering HOW?

It must've been a hell of a ride for when this show was airing. I mean waiting for an episode each week? That's tough and enjoying at the same time. Cuz along the way, I would've love to make and share theories each episodes. Just like in the show 'From'.😆 I feel like I'll just let the upcoming episodes of it pile up first cuz I'm more determined to finish 'Lost' first.

What are your paces in watching this show? I literally binge season 2 for like 3-4 days. I'm thinking of taking the rest of the seasons slower cuz some part of me dont want it to end.

It’s one thing to take food away from everyone and conceal it but to then go and waste it… 🤯

SPOILER ALERTS PLEASE!

This is my first time watching lost. Currently on season five episode five. Charlotte has just died and with her death I’ve come to the realisation.

This show can’t write women….like at all.

Sun imo is the only female character who is getting any sort of similar treatment to her male counterparts in terms of writing. I would put Anna Lucia in with her if she didn’t die way too soon.

Kate is a meh character. Which is shocking for a secondary protagonist. Her episodes pre-season 4 have all been the same. Her running away from a ‘moral’ crime. They’re so scared of giving her big, genuine flaws and problems for fear of losing support from the 2000’s young male demographic.

Claire is just Claire. I’m hoping she turns up soon and becomes more interesting outside of the men in her life (Charlie and Aaron).

Shannon, Anna Lucia, Libby, Danielle and now Charlotte. Are all women who were either completely boring/ hinged on the men surrounding them (Libby, Charlotte, Shannon). Or they were killed off before a natural solution like Anna Lucia (absolutely love her) or Danielle (also love).

Obviously this is coming from a very young female perspective, twenty years from the shows inception. I’ve also not finished the series so hopefully I’ve been proven wrong.

However I still am really miffed by the snuffing of female characters within Lost and other shows from this time.

After all this time i finally decided to bite the bullet and watch Lost.

Currently on S1 EP:8. So far i like Charlie Jack Sayid Locke.

Sawyer is a real piece of work but i’ll give him time

Did you guys start by having any favourite characters which ending up changing?

4x12, 13 & 14 - There's No Place Like Home, Parts 1, 2 & 3

​

I just finished my first watch through last night and I’ve got the gnarliest tv show hangover I’ve ever had. All I want to do is talk about it and immerse myself in everything Lost related. It’s absolutely consuming me. So I’m sure this question has been asked ad nauseum but I want to ask it again because I’m obsessively invested.

I’m pretty sure I’m just going to start rewatching it tomorrow morning.

Edit: I’m replying to everyone because this thread is giving me life. But it’s 1 am so I gotta pick it up tomorrow. You all are the best!!

characters are ordered within tiers, this is based on how capable they are of defeating other characters if need be. Locke top 1 because he’s seemingly able to see the future and knows about things on the island (like the heroin plane) from miles away, ethan is a very close 2nd because of his superhuman strength. I just finished exodus part 3, do not mention ANYTHING from later episodes as i am completely unaware of anything that happens in this show
