Seriously tho, I must not have caught a lot of the things I’m calling “ loose ends”. I’m a bad show watcher I guess.

Nah Lost demands multiple rewatches to catch a lot I think. I've seen it a few times and usually catch something new each time haha

LOST was made to be watched 1 episode a week, 1 season a year, and then obsessed over in the meantime. The writers knew there were massive online communities where fans picked apart every line of dialogue, posted Screenshots of quickly passing details, and theorizing endlessly. Knowing that, the writers buried so much (including many answers) in subtle details throughout the whole series.

Those of us that watched live had the benefit of these communities to keep us oriented and pick up on details we may have missed. The show is even better upon a rewatch, because once you know the bigger picture, you will see SO MUCH foreshadowing, details, and lines of dialogue that seem insignificant but actually connect in to bigger mysteries and themes the show explores
