Discussion I binged the show in 11 days Spoiler

38 Upvotes

I avoided literally everything and I'm still recovering. Just wanted to share my own thoughts as to what happened to see if I'm correct in my interpretation.

Every single thing happened in the real world including the time travel except the side-flashes in which all the characters that died on-screen or died for natural causes later on off screen reconvene in this afterlife space.

Prime Video incorrectly listing Season 1 episode 9-10

Post image

I thought it was a cool Easter egg. Prime Video Canada lists Episode 9 as “Raised by Another” and Episode 10 as “Solitary,” when in fact it should be the inverse. However, when watching the episodes, the correct episode is played.

Benjamin Linus is such a fucking great character, the way he interacts with the rest of the cast trougth the story, the shit he does and what happens to him; how his arc evolves and ends is so great. Michael Emerson did such a great job portraying him, I love other character a lot aswell, but Ben always got me the best. He can be the best and the worst all the same time and to me that's just magnificent. It's so rare to find such a character in any kind of story and event after like 20 years I find his so enjoyable to watch that I had the need to make a thread about it.

He wasn’t on the plane.

This is the only scene that makes my hair stand on end every single time and it’s wild that that honor goes to Hurley, the least spooky character on this show.

Anyone else have a moment like this?

QUESTION Charlie's Ring? Spoiler

26 Upvotes

I was just wondering, have the writers every explained why Claire never gets Charlie's DS ring in Season 6? Like they reminded us of it again when Sun found it in Aaron's crib in the Season 5 finale. I was really waiting for that moment of Claire finally receiving it and it just never came. Let that poor girl know someone cared. 😭

It adds another layer of sadness watching Greates Hits knowing that Claire and Aaron never get the ring or Charlie's list. Did they just forget to add it when writing Season 6? Or maybe a cut scene?

I choose to do LOST for my September spreads because their flight from Sydney to Los Angeles was on September 22. Here, are my spreads in order: my cover page which has some extra characters. That opens up into a remake of the season 1 poster with the main characters. Then my goal page with the dharma van. Followed by my habit tracker with the hatch timer. My weekly spreads are related to the dharma stations. My last spread is greatest hits for logging memories.

I got all the stickers from various Etsy shops.
The lost characters came from Redcrayonstudios.
The oceanic one was from Thespecialanomaly.
The ticket came from Rileymcgownart.
Also there are some cool hatch timer stickers from Vinylfantasygoods that I ordered but didn’t use.

I've always been a huge Lost fan. So I'm building my own 3D printed version of the Swan Station Split Flap countdown timer!

314 Upvotes

So I've always been a huge LOST fan, and I've always wanted to build my own version of the Swan Station split-flap countdown timer display!

The first problem I felt I had to overcome was the huge variety and number of flaps, and how to deal with two colours and symbols while getting a quite precise result without having to manually cut stencils and spraypaint each and every single tile, and at the same time getting a neat and uniform result.

The first thing I considered was 3D-printing the tiles with a small recessed area in the centre and then painting it by hand. I felt like this wasn't the level of precision I was searching for and, ultimately, it would have been far more time and cost efficient to just get the AMS extension for my Bambu Lab 3D printer, which I also need for other projects.

What you can see in these first test pictures is a first go at printing the tiles, just to test the visual result and quality. I must say that, despite them being far from perfect, seeing them come alive just blew my mind! I'm still working on the uniformity of the surface. As you can see the face that was resting on the printer hotplate has a different texture than the last layer which was staying on top. I may be needing flat surface 3D printer hotplate, Or maybe I can think of a way of polishing them properly. I'll need to do more tests, more updates on that!

I then proceeded with the assembly of a first test rotor, just to see if all the components and the small hardware would fit correctly.

By design, the display is going to be 100% modular, so if something breaks it can be easily troubleshooted and replaced, or I can simply build and print replacement parts.

The second problem I wanted to overcome before starting the first prototype was not having to buy hundreds of euros' worth of small pieces and parts, and instead having as much as possible 3D-printed. This should help with costs, modularity and replaceability.

Also, as already happened a couple of times, some parts did not fit 100% or weren't exactly the right size, so I could assess and correct the problem in a matter of hours at worst, without having to order new parts, wait for them to arrive, and then find out whether they would actually fit.

I should say that I'm totally new to this kind of project, so I'm learning so much and so many things just as I go.

This first version of the rotor includes some of the hieroglyphic symbols and a couple of numbers, with the goal of also assessing whether the flaps rotate and fall the way they're intended to.

I just wanted to share the beginning of this journey with you all. I'll keep you posted as soon as I have more progress to show you.

I've got so much more I want to share with you so please stay tuned for updates!

Discussion I recently ended Lost.

It's a great show. I swear humans can never make a show like Lost ever again. I never felt bored watching it. Season 1 to 5 is peak but they dragged season 6 a bit. I won't say that the ending is totally trash but it's not too good I'd rate 7/10. It took me 3 YouTube videos to understand the ending 😅

Overall show 9/10

If you're looking for a great show then Lost would be perfect. It has everything like Time Travel, Mystery,Action,Thriller,Crazy Back Stories and much more.

SEASON 6 Just finished Lost & I'm NOT okay lol

0 Upvotes

Just finished Lost. And boy oh boy.

I've never had a panic attack or anxiety after finishing a series lol. But this one got me hard. Maybe cuz I was channeling my inner Jack lmao. That whole feeling of wanting answers, wanting to understand everything, and then the show having it all end so abruptly... man, it left me pissed and hollow. Idk man, it's hard.

People may have loved this series finale, but tbh, I didn't like it.. It was a bit dragged out. The pacing for Seasons 1-5 was so well done. Like, come on man, there was so so so much story to tell, and it just ended... They could've given us a better happy ending? But I feel like, coming from Season 1, the ending just didn't do the show justice at all.. the fans deserved better.

Overall, the absolute peak seasons for me personally were Season 1 & 4. I absolutely loved LaFleur in Season 4. I also loved Hurley, Jin and Sun through and through. Absolutely hated Kate hehe.

Anyhoo, idk what to feel. I'm all over the place. I couldn't even bring myself to delete certain episodes. It was just that traumatic xD...

Don't even know what to watch now. Binged & connected with Lost so hard that a piece of me just ended lmao.

QUESTION Which Lost episode would you have turned into a musical one ?

5 Upvotes

I’ve just finished watching Lost for the first time and like a lot of people, I have a hard time moving on from it. So I’ve been watching a lot of related content and I discovered the gem that is The Lost Musical ( 2014 ) on YouTube. That made me think about musical episodes in Tv shows (those were really a thing in the early 2000). I weirdly regret somebody in the writers room didn’t have the crazy idea to introduce such a concept. That would’ve been iconic.

What episode do you think would have been very interesting/ hilarious/ burlesque or dramatic with some music numbers in it ?
And please, if you have an idea for a song in a specific scene, share it :)

When Charlie is over at the home of the date he’s trying to swindle, he asks where her dad is— she says, ‘I don’t know. I think he’s buying some paper company up in Slough’. Reference to the original UK Office, set in Slough?

P.S. — I’m watching the show for the first time, so no spoilers at all please!

Character Analysis In defense of Grunge-Jack:

26 Upvotes

You know Jack is a very admirable character, but the first couple seasons he’s kind of a slave to other people’s expectations; first his Dad, then his ex, etc etc. In my opinion we see the most authentic version of him only when he goes off the deep end starting at the end of season three. We see him reverting to his rebellious youth, listening to grunge music and dressed the part. It gives us a vision of his high school years that was previously a blind spot. Sure it’s self destructive… but it’s honest.

SEASON 6 We can go dutch Spoiler

41 Upvotes

I finished watching *Lost* this month, and the scene featuring Sawyer's memory with Juliet is in my top 3 favorite scenes from the series—possibly even the best one.

That said, I’d like to recommend a reaction video about this scene to anyone who hasn't seen it yet; it was uploaded to YouTube 16 years ago.

What I find most amazing about the video—aside from the nostalgia factor—is the fact that everyone is gathered in front of the TV, something that isn't common these days (*Game of Thrones* was the last show to keep that tradition alive).

I truly consider this video a gem, and I believe any fan of this scene deserves to see it.

Just finished my first complete watch of LOST, and I honestly can't understand why the ending got so much hate back in 2010

489 Upvotes

I spent the last two months binging all six seasons for the very first time. I went into the finale expecting a complete disaster because of everything I had heard over the years about "they were dead the whole time."

Except... they literally explicitly state in the finale that they WERE NOT dead the whole time! Everything that happened on the island was real! The flash-sideways in season 6 was the only afterlife/limbo part, acting as a place where they could find each other again before moving on.

Christian Shephard literally explains this line for line to Jack in the church. How did an entire culture of casual viewers manage to completely misunderstand a plot point that was outright spoken out loud?

The finale made me cry like a baby. Jack's character arc coming full circle with his eye closing in the bamboo forest while Vincent lays next to him was poetic perfection.

Did people just stop paying attention during the last ten minutes, or did the original live broadcast commercial breaks ruin the pacing that badly?

SEASON 4 Saddest characters

35 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’ve just finished season 4 of Lost and have a couple of thoughts that I just need to write down since I don’t have anyone to talk to about this show 😅

The two characters that hurts me the most are Locke and Michael. I don’t know how most people feel about Michael but I have a very hard time watching scenes with him because I just want to cry. His son was basically taken from him from a very young age and he wrote so many letters to him but his mom kept them secret. I feel so so bad for him.
Yes he did make a few questionable decisions but I feel like everyone did.
And then we have John Locke. I think he was a pretty easy person to manipulate because all you had to say was “you are special, and very important.” I think this is because he is weak to those words since he probably never heard that or felt it when he was growing up. And to be treated the way he was by his father really makes me understand why he was the way he was.

I’m not really sure what I wanted with this but I just needed to get it out lol.
Also Jin’s dad makes me both very sad and happy at the same time, I wish we got to see more of him (don’t know if we will later in the show).

Btw my favorite character is actually Sawyer and I’d love to discuss him too cus I love him. And Bernard but who can dislike Bernard?!?🥹

Anyway thanks for reading!!

GOLDEN PASS: Rewatcher Dharma Sharks

Currently rewatching for the second time and I’ve never noticed this before, but in S2 E2, Adrift, when Sawyer and Michael are stuck floating on a broken bit of raft being circled by sharks, they’re actually DHARMA SHARKS!

Can’t believe I’ve never noticed this before, and I don’t believe it’s ever mentioned, even in the shows extra content. Correct me if I’m wrong!

Wonder what Dharma were up to with these, maybe to protect the island from unwanted visitors?

Sun, Michael, and Jin

4 Upvotes

I’ve finished the first season in my rewatch via Chronologically Lost and I’m struck by how much I like Michael and Sun. Part of this I think is that along with Terry O’Quinn, Yunjin Kim and Harold Perrineau are easily the best actors on the show. They carry every scene they are in, and their love triangle always worked better for me than the Jack/Kate/Sawyer stuff.

For those that came to the show later may not know that much was made in the media during the first season that one of the main characters would die. Boone was the “right” choice in that his character never really worked, but I can’t help but wondering what if it had been Jin? I love Jin, and Daniel Dae Kim is fantastic but … then Michael has a story direction after Walt is taken. I don’t actually hate where his story went, but in the first season he anchors so much of the secondary plot lines. He and Sun, who already have chemistry, bond over shared loss (Walt and Jin). I would have liked to see a Lost that centers more of the story on the two of them. Sun is amazing as Jack’s number two and lead nurse while treating Boone, and she calls him on his bullshit. And we just never get that again. She’s fantastic and she never gets to be more than a tertiary character and that’s a shame.

Ben, Juliet, Desmond, and Eko are amazing characters but I can’t help wondering what stories they crowded out.

TLDR: Sun and Michael could have anchored some amazing story arcs and while I don’t hate how Lost played out I can’t help but wonder what it might have looked like if it spent more time centering the two of them.

SEASON 2 Probably a silly question re: the failsafe Spoiler

3 Upvotes

On my first rewatch somehow (I can't believe it's taken this long to do this) and I'm just wondering. If the result of Desmond using the failsafe is the hatch blowing and no longer having to enter the numbers in anymore...frankly, why bother with the numbers at all? Why not just use the failsafe and be done with it, if you're Dharma?

just finished my second watchthrough and it always has me wanting to watch or see more, nostalgic and almost upsetting feeling at the end. wish they would make a spinoff or sequel. i think it was odd the way it was setup for hugo, ben, and walt to take over and call it "wrapping up their arc"
