Can we have a LOST thread, lads?
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT
I will never not be upset about
>Jacob being some supernatural Jesus figure
>the MiB existing
>smokey being the MiB
>Eko dying early on
>Locke dying instead of being the end boss
>some japanese sage sitting in a temple being wise
why did it have to jump the shark?
>>69142685
jesus how did they fuck up so badly?
Locke and Eko dying trigger me the most but while the death of Eko came because of the actor playing him leaving(I think), Locke's death was pure fucking up
>>69142685
Stop watching when the hatch blows up and you get all of that shit gone while experiencing the peaks of the show
>>69142589
>Material applications
Material applications of what?
>>69142826
>the death of Eko came because of the actor playing him leaving
this really upsets me for some reason. what kind of cunt signs up for playing a role in a big tv show and then decides that it's not to his liking and quits after 1 season? He wouldn't even come back for the finale.
They should have recast him desu
>>69142685
I will never not be upset that there were no answers and I wasted years of my life and hundreds of dollars on this trash
>>69142962
you are fucking stupid
>>69142863
season 2 was the peak imo. all around fantastic with plot surrounding the button, the introduction of Linus, Desmond and Eko.
Psalm 21 is a fantastic episode too.
>>69142826
>jesus how did they fuck up so badly?
they didnt, Lost was excellent from start to finish. Im sorry your idea of the show didnt pan out. But they had to pick a direction to go.
>>69142984
I know, smart people would never have been fooled by lost in the first place
I'm not mad about the ending, which I thought was perfectly fine. But how they got there? idk senpai, all the time travel bullshit, island moving and first civilization bullfuckery just ruined it for me.
>>69142685
Eko Dying was easily the worst part of the show. He was just such an excellent character both in concept and execution. A shame the actor hated being on the show so much.
>>69143004
>SEASON 2
>PEAK
are you FUCKING serious?
fuck your contrarian shit.
>half the season is wasted on tailies who are ALL killed off and became completely irrelevant once the camps united
>charlie becomes an annoying twat
>its a charlie baptizes the baby episode
season 1 and 5 are far the best and most coherent. season 3 has the best high points.
>>69143097
>A shame the actor hated being on the show so much.
it's beyond me why they couldn't recast a character so essential to the plot.
>>69142685
Why wasn't Jacob just some time travelling mastermind instead? They already established time travel in season 5, and they hinted at it long before that. So why not go that route? At least that would have given an answer to how he knew things. The origin episode makes no sense at all and is just a bunch of nonsense thrown together.
If he'd have been Faraday 2.0 I would have honestly been fine with it. Some megalomaniac that had the ability to jump back and forth in time.
Obviously there would have to be more to it than that, but at least take that path when it came to how he achieved what he did.
I liked the show but it doesn't matter anymore when it became undeniable that they didn't really have story but made it up as they went along. Alcatraz was even more insulting because they tried to do it another time.
And the actors all just wanted to live on Hawaii and phoned it in.
>>69143126
not being a contrarian here, the parts you pointed out annoyed me too.
But I really enjoyed the button subplot and Ben Linus sowing dissent among the Losties' leaders.
S2 also introduced Desmond and Eko, which I both like a lot.
>>69143004
You're crazy. Season 2 was a big misstep full of awful filler that was perked up to look important when it never lead to anything or served the story any purpose whatsoever.
Season 2 introduced some of the best lore to the entire show. But the season is highly flawed and drags on so much.
>>69143149
BECAUSE IT WAS ALL BULLSHIT AND NOTHING WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE SENSE!!
>>69142589
No.
It just usually boils down to crybabies crying about the ending and the fact that the show actually bothered to progress beyond its initial status quo.
It's a fantastic show tarnished by its awful fanbase.
>>69143204
>It's a fantastic show tarnished by its awful writing in the later seasons.
there you go
The season 5 ending is honestly a better note to go out on than the 6th season was. It quite literally came full circle and had it ended on the white flash, we'd have to make up our own mind of what happened, if they landed safely and no crash happened, or if they caused the incident that lead them to crash in the first place.
It's not the best ending ever, but I'd take that over that church shit.
>>69143026
>But they had to pick a direction to go.
shame they then had to change it seventeen times
>>69143026
>But they had to pick a direction to go.
if only it wasn't the time travelling, magic first civilization direction
so it turned out that he was just a vehicle for the MiB, which is lame. What would you rather have had him be?
>>69143297
I have no problem with letting the watcher decide how to interpret the events of a show within certain boundaries, or if you are honest about it being pointless besides that, but at least I want to know the writer thought about the meaning himself and that there's a reasoning behind whatever happened. Even if I'm not told directly. Just making things up without any thought at all, or rather them pretending that there's some meaning or final pay off when there isn't, is the insulting part. Fuck them!
They were all in limbo is just one step above it was all a dream. Lazy as shit. And Abrams the little weasel knew it from the beginning, that's why he left the sinking ship in time.
>>69143420
I wanted him to be an angel.
I wish the 1970s Dharma storyline was a full season. Waste no time with all the jumping around in time that they did for the first half and just send them straight to the 70s and show us them living with the dharma folk of the time. Give more time to build up the existence of the Swans building site, The Orchid, other dharma experiments, get some good episode that is set around the production of one of the orientation videos that Pierre Chang stars in, I know we got a little of that but not enough.
Honestly it was the best part of season 5 and it just didn't last long enough.
>>69143484
>They were all in limbo
but they weren't. everything that happened was real, except for the flash sideways. How many times have we been over this?
>>69143533
So where did they go at the end when the church closed the doors?
>>69143609
'they moved on'
yes, the flash sideways showed them ina limbo-state of being, but that was only after all the island stuff already happened. which si why they remember it at the end.
>time travel
Glad I noped the fuck out of LOST, I hear it turned into quite the shitshow
>>69143677
Why was there a magic cork again?
>>69142912
SCIENCE
>>69142931
Maybe he was worried about his career stagnating if he went from a regular part of an ensemble in Oz to a regular part of an ensemble on Lost.
Also weren't there lots of short-term characters in the show? You've got your core regulars, then a rotating cast of short-termers with a single arc to tell.
>>69143703
Time travel stuff was actually pretty entertaining, I mean it's a telltale sign of how farce it all got later down the line, but it wasn't terrible. Season 6 is the real sinner.
>>69143843
To be honest. That episode where they found the truck and the beers in the woods was the best episode.
>>69142685
There was a great comic that summed up the complete fuckup the plot had. It basically went like this
>the island has so many mysteries
>It begins with a strange man named Ethan
>This man comes from a group called the "Others", who's leader is a man named Ben
>From Ben, they meet a strange and eternally youthful man, Richard
>he was gifted his eternal youth by an omnipient, god-like man called jacob
>Jacob was given this power by his mother, when she makes him "protector of the island"
>mother dies before it's ever explained who she is or where SHE got the power from
It was just one massive long dead end
>>69142589
I could have done without the amazing epilogue. I still want to see more from that time and what they would have done to get Michael back and why...
>>69143992
Link?
I don't think it was an dead end rather than a magic box within a magic box within a magic box. Or the equivalent to a kid writing and then and then and then and then...
>tfw I finished the series for the first time the other day and now I feel empty
Hold me bros
>>69143992
>Ethan
They fucked up the timeline with this character so much. Why they felt the need to show his birth in the 70s storyline I'll never know. Claiming this guy was supposed to be 27 at the time of the crash is just funny.
>>69142931
he lost both his parents that year and was handling it poorly. you can't blame a guy for wanting to be home with friends at a time like that instead of living in some hotel room in a city full of strangers.
>>69144209
true, but he had the opportunity to come back later as a "ghost" or whatever like several other characters did, but apparently he asked for a fuckload of money
>>69144092
unfortunately I can't find it
> Or the equivalent to a kid writing and then and then and then and then...
well exactly, except there was no conclusion which is bitterly disappointing
>>69144123
I've been rewatching it and I'm about to be done with it too. It'll leave a huge hole after it's over, gonna miss watching this every day.
>>69144135
looks like Ashton Kutcher
>>69144279
somehow it satisfies me that his career never amounted to anything after lost.
>>69142589
Lost jumped the shark when they decided the island's mysteries had a different cause than Dharma fuckery.
>>69145200
true. though I would have liked it if they just hinted at Jacob being an ominous, conscious presence on the island.
who /durn/ here?
>"I wish you had believed me"
Post yfw /tv/ will never go back to the LOST mystery golden age threads
I'm definitely not mad about time traveling, quantum things because it's still a blur subject for scientists therefore it always gets my attention. At least I was hopeful for a semi-scientific explanation for what's happening in the island. That's why I loved season 5. For me, it's the season 6 where it jumped the shark completely. Instead of fucking our minds with quantum stuff, they went full metaphysic matters, religion bullshit. Pff.
>tfw damon lindelof became the showrunner of The Leftovers
>mfw he rused me into watching a show without answers; AGAIN
The Leftovers is pretty good though. I enjoyed it.

This is probably one of the best scenes from the show. I wish we got more of Sawyer and Jack working together.
>Cause you're about the closest thing I've got to a friend, Doc
>>69145681
so
guys
i was thinking about maybe streaming all of lost, just maybe. Sept 22nd maybe. Planning on a basic website with a video stream and a chat. 1 or 2 episodes a night every week at regular times, so we can all band together and enjoy LOST
how would that sound?
>>69146712
I'd like that a lot
>>69142589
Should have ended the show at the end of Season 4, would have spared everyone the pain
>>69142589
are those the talismans from jackie chan adventures?
Dharma Initiative prequel/anthology/monster-of-the-week series when?
>>69147838
Would have been cool to see more battles between the Dharma people and the Others
>>69146712
Id cut my dick off too see lost again with /tv/
>>69147958
>>69147658
may get something going, keep an eye out on /tv/ in august and sept for LOST threads and infomation
>>69146712
would be fun but the show is too long to do it consistently methinks
>>69146712

Really underrated episode, one of Desmond's best.
>You're all dead, we're in hell
Confused Richard was best Richard
>>69151096
The show did this too much, too much baiting with pretentious dialogue that imposes something incredibly threatening or shocking and then it never lead to anything at all.
Feels insulting when rewatching the show.

Fuck off, he's the only sane person in the whole series despite being a mass murderer (though his fucktard of a brother killed much more people indirectly).

The rest of y'all know...
>>69151406
Speaking of grabbing Kates tits, watch the season 2 finale again. The dock scene. Watch when Alex goes to pick up kate.
What do you think the island was like with Hurley and Ben running things?
>>69153379
Ben probably tried to kill Hurley desu
Did Sayid stay on the island? I don't remember.
>>69153910
Oh nvm shit i forgot he died
i didn't browse /tv/ for the lost threads
were they ever as cancerous as the got threads
>>69152725
That episode was great. Season 3 overall was the best season.
>>69143420
>he thinks suit and tie christian is the MiB
Top kek lad
>>69154287
What was it then
>>69142931
It's on them for not securing a contract with him for the whole season I believe.
>>69151741
kek. He looks like he doesnt even want to be there
>I could be shitposting on /tv/ right now
>>69143126
I will agree with season 1, but season 5? Really? I was a huge fan of the show and season 5 almost lost me.
I skip most of it on rewatches.
i never finished this show, what happens to le battery iraqi in the end?

https://youtu.be/_nH1rCXv36A
>>69155570
Only casuals hated the final season because they only watched it for answers, but no explanation would ever be satisfying and not make them even madder if it turned out to be aliens or whatever gay shit.
>>69147958

>>69155285

It was as big as capeshit and bane posting is now. Probably half the threads were Lost related.

When I started watching Lost I already heard how it would end but I wasn't sure when they "died" so some scenes were really eerie.
>>69157356
Yes. These scenes fucked me up familia
>>69156510
>>69156165

>don't make such great lore and mystery, and then throw it out the fucking window
what were you honestly expecting them to do that could tie everything together besides what they did
it was a well done conclusion which answered all questions
>>69142685
The ending didn't even make sense. MiB literally just wanted to get off the fucking island. He wasn't even the worst person there.
>>69157960
Sweaty dirty Kate is best Kate. Just imagine the unkempt bush she must have had going on.
>>69158168

MiB was evil. Stop being dense.
>>69158263
Yuck!
>>69158122
Eh I never really saw it as a completely religious thing. Just good vs evil, black vs light. I haven't watched it in a while though so maybe i'm not remembering something.
>>69158243
this >>69158306, the man's the literal embodiment of evil just as jacob is the embodiment of good
>>69158306
No he wasn't. He was just a dude trying to escape from his mother's murderer and his crazy brother.
>>69158241
it was a copout. why have the big foot? the temple? the wheel? the jacob/mib as kids and richards flashbacks were as close as we got to anything like that.
>all that dharma lore
>lost civilizations
>hanso and degroots

To be fair, some of that was resolved outside the show with ARG bullshit

>>69158515
how is this a thing you think needed to be mentioned again? It was just a fucking bird that appeared in 2 finales. They probably only jokingly had it in the 2nd one because people thought it said Hurley the 1st time.
Good lord, Lost watchers were some of the most insufferable and autistic cunts.
>>69158499
i feel as though they should make a better version of lost, without as much fantasy elements, and much more hard scifi and grittiness that spans several hundred years. fuck it, I'll cherry pick all the good stuff and write it now.
>brb, going to make millions
>>69158576
All of them?
>>69158574
Doesn't change the fact he's evil.
>>69157887
wew, she was bestfu
>>69158449
He was literally the physical embodiment of evil and wanted to spread across the entire world... He was also almost entirely responsible for every bad thing that happened to the main characters.
>>69158496
>>69158600
Honestly, how is he any worse than the other characters? What did he do that was comparatively "evil"?

>>69158638
Who said he was? You're arguing he isn't evil and we're pointing out he was.
Now if you want to discuss the other characters? They're all evidently evil or else they wouldn't have been on the island.
>>69158781
you'd watch it and you know it
>>69158810

>it's bait if I don't agree
Jacob manipulated and got people killed too. All to keep his brother on an island for a reason nobody really understood.
"Across the Sea" really fucked up the story, because he showed that Jacob was insane and the MiB was completely justified in everything he did.
Really, it was their fake mother who was evil. She murdered their real mother, murdered MiB's friends and destroyed his hopes of leaving the island. He had done nothing wrong at this point in time.
>its been 6 years and some people still meme about no answers
remember, not providing detailed scientific rundown on how everything works doesnt mean it wasnt answered.
for example, some people claim the smoke monster wasnt answered, even though it was.
Just let it go. The show was fantastic
I need the jackface where his eyes are closed and he's flinching and its a little blurry
>>69158563
yeah I liked a lot of the filler too. I don't get the hate for the Nikki and Paulo episode or the other stuff.
>>69158948
sure, he did nothing wrong before he became satan incarnate
then he did, and then he had a reason for wanting to get off the island: to destroy/conquer/wreak havoc on the world like he terrorized the island's inhabitants for centuries
makes a lotta sense why jacob would want to keep him locked up to be honest
>>69158638
They weren't people like the rest of the characters. They were the physical incarnations of the balance between good and bad. It literally could not get any more black and white. I don't get how you're arguing that he's not bad when that is his entire character...
>>69158961
the nikki and paulo episode was a really good way for them to get rid of characters everyone hated while still being able to do something memorable with them
>>69159067
>before he became satan incarnate
This was entirely Jacob's fault. And Jacob was the only one peddling the idea that his brother was the source of all evil - an idea he got from the crazy woman who murdered his mother.
In "Across the Sea" we know that MiB was just a normal dude who wanted to get off the island.

Yeah, but that's not how it played out. The "good guys" did bad things and the "bad guy" was somewhat justified in the bad things he was doing.
This stemmed from shitty, shoehorned writing that they tried to wrap up in a neat little bow.

gee anon, maybe the idea was that morality isn't truly reduced to black and white.
Maybe the human condition is defined by the varying decisions we make, good and bad, shaping our destiny
>>69159518
almost all instances of the good guys having to do bad things were directly caused by the bad guy because of some bad, manipulative action he took in the past
only looking out for himself and just being an asshole who uses everyone he meets to get what he wants is not a justification for any of his actions; neither is "oh all his friends got killed as a kid"

First it was about black/white morality, but now it's not? Your contradicting yourself. In any case, it's clearly that the writers gave up and/or changed their minds.

He was being kept on the island against his will for absolutely no reason beside his brother and a crazy woman wanted him to stay there. He would have left off without hassle if Jacob hadn't killed him. He would have been a normal guy if the crazy woman hadn't lured their mother to the island.

keyword would have been a normal guy
thing is, he wasn't. now he could have been, i dunno, a reasonable person and just tried to get off the island without murdering/abusing everyone he met, but he didn't. just because funky stuff made him a smoke monster doesn't mean he had to be a bad person all of a sudden
something bad someone does to you a couple millenia ago and a "crazy brother" doesn't mean you not a bad guy for killing a bunch of people

I can't believed he looked directly into the camera.
It's like they knew.

Something big. Like discovering a Stargate to Atlantis or some shit. Something to justify all that epic bullshit they inserted that turned out to be nothing but fodder to keep us hooked.
What an epic disappointment that show was.

I'm never said he wasn't evil, just that he was justified - and he was.
As I said, he became "evil" after Jacob (the "good" guy) murdered him And he still wasn't the worst dude on the island.

They were slavers or something weren't they? They were about to kill the slaves before smokey showed up, so no big loss.
Widmore gassed the Dharma Initiative staff under Jacob's order, or am I misremembering?
