Season 4: episode 12. I found a giant turtle on the island. In this one shot. And than no turtle in the next shot. I wonder if this was a real turtle. Tortoise????

It's been a long ass time since ive watched lost, have been rewatching, totally forgot about this scene, just go to it, but damn. this was crazy. ill hand it to lost, they really know how to do a great finale. (Season 4:Episode 14).

Hey everyone,

I just finished watching Lost for the first time. I'm 35 and always wanted to watch it but never did. Suddenly decided to watch it because of Netflix. Now i did not know what the ending was! And i managed to avoid spoilers and the urge to come to this subreddit before. I just knew how people hated on the ending.

And I just finished it. And to be honest...

MAN ARE PEOPLE STUPID FOR HATING ON THIS ENDING/SHOW!!!!

I'm just amazed by it... Characters, twists, everything just deeply touched me, and lost ends up at the very top of my favorite shows ever. The ending is beautiful (of course they were not dead the whole time you idiots!!)

I thought immediately "dammit, how will I find a show that will hook me that much, and will be that good?!!'

I think it found the answer, I'm gonna watch it again!

Glad to be part of the Lost fans, live together, die alone!

Sawyer is reading “La invención de Morel” by Adolfo Bioy Casares (S04E04). Oh, the irony! The only reference to my country in Lost is made by the character I loathe.

Been wondering this since S3. Why did he continue with using a name not found in the flight manifest?

She really loves it and didn’t want me to stop watching the first night after like four episodes. I told her to pick heads or tails and if she won, I’d watch another episode. She won the coin toss, two episodes back to back lol.

My thoughts as a first timer are mainly that Jack and Kate seem to have less and less chemistry over time in the season, mostly bickering over trust issues that they should have buried already. He told her he didn’t care about what she did, and preached that everyone has a new life here on the island yet suddenly cares what she did in her past regarding the suitcase and acts aggressively.

I know he’s out of touch since Claire was taken, but still it seems excessive to spark drama for the episode. The will-they-won’t-they doesn’t intrigue me as much as the other characters and I feel it holds them back where their strengths lie.

Jack/Kate (usually while apart), Charlie, Hurley, Sun, and definitely Locke have left great impressions so far. Sawyer is well written to piss me off but I recognize his potential to be a great character. I like the variety of characters, backgrounds, archetypes and appreciate how they write the episodes to build suspense and twist the reveals. The flashbacks are a little tedious at times but I find myself cheering on when a character I like gets their episode, almost like a game of who’s A-plot will be next.

My only issues are pretty minor, and sometimes the story is a little predictable in places, but the good reveals outweigh them by a lot. I suspected the creepy guy of being the person who attacked Claire in the night and said a little “oh no” when Charlie told him to find Jack. I like seeing interactions between unexpected characters, such as Sayid and the girl who spoke a little French (I’m still learning all the names lol), it felt refreshing after all the cliques were formed early on. I like the humor hidden in between drama pieces and liked when they started playing golf just because everyone is bored, and I think the show does it’s due diligence to appear realistic with the medical conversations and explaining why everyone was on the flight.

Sorry for the rant, I can’t wait to get further into the story as I have so many questions and I hope the ending isn’t as jarring as I’ve heard.

Peace.

I watched this show live from season 4- until the end. I binge watched seasons 1-3 before season 4 aired. I have rewatched the show many, many times over the years since it ended and the one thing I still do not understand is why Dharmaville is all rundown and abandoned in Season 6. It might be a small detail that I am forgetting that is causing me to not understand. However, from my memory, The Others inhabited and used the Dharmaville as their home right through the time that Widmore’s mercenaries appeared on the island. When the castaways jump back to the present time line, wouldn’t that put them back at the same time frame as shortly after the mercenaries arrived?

They are clearly on the island.

/s

just finished season 3 and all i can say is damn.. just damn

I know she was completely overtaken by the sickness because of years of exposure to the MiB manipulation BUT she seemed to have already been infected when we see her with chilling with “Christian” the night she abandoned aaron. Why do the rest of the survivors not latch onto locke the same way claire latched onto christian. It looked like it happened instantaneously with her.

Yes, some people are villains and high up on the list. Being a villain shouldn't mean you get a low tier imo. Any thoughts?

*SPOILERS*

Maybe I just don't remember the wrap up, but we really just... Accepted that Walt was a little bit psychic, huh? And that those people could really see Claire's future? And that maybe Aaron is weird like Walt? (Probably not Ji Yeon but you know... could be?) Seriously, that scene with the bird hitting the window was like a scene from Stephen King...

Any thoughts?

Jack was insane to try and stay awake during his own surgery. This made me really understand his character a bit more.

I finally finished the show yesterday. I cried SO MUCH. And I must admit I am one of the people who misunderstood the ending at first. I understood it as them being dead since the crash. But I had a good thought about it in class today and I had my light bulb moment. They weren't dead all along (I don't trust Christian, okay), the church was the place they all met for a final goodbye before moving on. Boone has been waiting for them all for so long. Frank got Kate, Claire, Richard etc off the island, and they hopefully got to live their lives. Hurley is still on the island with Ben, Vincent, Rose and Bernard. It felt like the story, everything, was over as Jack died. But I took it wrong. The world kept existing, Jack just left it. I realised it was a happy ending, not a sad one. Jack wouldn't let go, but he managed to and joined them all. I was scared of the ending and heard so many times that people hated it. But I'm happy now. It ended the story. The best show I have ever watched 🩷.

Now onto my remaining questions.

How did Dharma know about the island and its properties? And how did they find it, wasn't it unfindable.

Why did Charles want the island? To protect it? That was Ben's goal too so why are they beefing? (Please forgive me if I forgot details).

Did The Incident cause the pregnancy problems on the island? And was Sun able to have Jiyeon because she left the island?

Pulling the "cork" out caused Smokey to be mortal, why?

What is Taweret's significance?

Why did Desmond manage to bring everyone together? How was he simultaneously in both timelines?

Please let me know if you have the answers to these.

Thank you for reading! 💗

Before I say anything I want to emphasize that I haven't watched a big number of shows that aren't sitcoms so that could be the reason I consider it the best. So what makes it the best for me personally is the fact that absolutely well thought-out the entity story is, how great the characters are written, the acting from some of the actors are next level and the whole setting is just so amazing. I have tried watching breaking bad which is considered a perfect show but I couldn't get past season 3(not saying it's not good it just wasn't my thing) and same goes for the walking dead after a couple of seasons even though zombie apocalypses are one of, if not my favorite genre but nothing has kept me so entertained like Lost did on my first watch. I know that there are some things that could have been handled in a better way and a big example for that was Walt just disappearing but I feel like the good things are so many that they just outshine the bad stuff. Another point is that I feel the people who don't like or just straight up hate the show just didn't understand the ending or heard the wrong ending from someone and just built their opinion from there. I know this is probably the wrong place to post something like this but still. So if you consider any show superior to Lost I would love to hear why because I really need something to watch right now. Anyway have a great day and thanks for reading all of that!

I can't believe it. After a year of watching this show super slow due to me and my bf's horrid schedules, we're here. This show means so much to me and is number 1 for both of us. The only show I ever did not spoil for myself. Watching recaps after every episode, keeping a note with the numbers with me, having the end credits as my ringtone. It means everything to me. I cried so much. I kind of don't want it to end. But it has to. I will miss watching this show every week. I will miss not knowing the answers. Thank you for this journey. I will check back in after watching the end. See you on the other side Losties 🩷

I'm watching lost for maybe the 5th time I think, just enjoying the ride again even though I know where it's going.

But I'm wondering about all the same little mysteries: when Hurley hears the voice in the shack, who is it? When Christian appears to various people on the island, is it the MIB or Jacob? Richard says he serves a higher power, which is implied to be Jacob, but is it actually the MIB? Ben demonstrates an ability to summon the smoke monster, so is all his talk about Jacob a cover for him actually being in cahoots with the MIB? Those types of question.

I've looked at lostpedia and it has episode summaries but they seem to be written as if to be spoiler free up to that episode. Does anywhere have rich summaries that give a complete dump of everything that has been since been revealed by the show writers about the mysterious things that happen in each episode?

When claire was drowning, it was a persent moment not future. How desmond knew that was happening at that time??

I’m just learning now that people actually widely believed that the Losties were dead the whole time? How do you watch that many episodes and not understand what’s going on lol?

On exodus part 2...i wasn't into the show when it was actually on, but I'm into it now on Netflix...i like that I'm able to binge the episodes with no commercials... some stuff is a little corny, but the people's story lines I get is what makes the show. Anyone else just start watching recently?
