>You will never watch LOST for the first time ever again
>>69233528
I have this thing where I watch it ever 10 years... it's like the first time, everytime.
;_;
I haven't and probably won't watch it. Seems leddit.
>>69233552
It's not the same man, I recently rewatched it and it's just not as fun the second time around. All the theorizing, the leaks, lostpedia, spending hours and hours speculating with /tv/. No show will ever capture the magic that Lost had ever again
>mfw I will never watch LOST for the first time ever
>>69233594
This.

>>>/reddit/
fuck off capeshitters
We can all agree that Lost is in the top 3 shows of all time, right?
>>69233599
The key is you watch it with someone that has never seen it.
>tfw started re-watching it a few weeks ago
>got to season 4 and couldn't stomach to watch any more
Jesus Christ it got so bad.
the appeal of watching it for the first time was that you had an expectation that it would all lead somewhere and have some kind of satisfying conclusion
it did not.
>>69233662
>>69233528
Thank god.
>>69233599
oh anon
why did you have to make me so sad?
>eko will never live until the end and become the new jacob after killing the meme man
Fuck Jack
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALT
is this show good? now that i finished the vampire diaries and originals i need another timesink, supernatural seems pretty meh and i can't watch the 100 because of that dumb bitchface mc
>>69233928
>bait
go back to /co/
>>69233528
jokes on you, ive never watched lost ;^))))))))))))))
>>69233961
literally not bait i watched the whole 8 seasons
now are you gonna answer seriously or not
If you're browsing /tv/ and haven't watched Lost you are pretty much guaranteed to be underage given it was the only thing the internet discussed for 6 years
WE HAVE TO GO BACK /tv/
WE HAVE TO GO BACK
Lost is what happens when you're a genius at pitching shows but a hack at writing.
>>69234768
TIGHT
>>69234768
more?
>>69233683
I usually stop there. Season 5 was kind of fun while it aired, but I don't think I've watched it since. Season 6 is probably unwatchable now. Seasons 1-4 I've probably seen around 10 times or so though.
>>69235629
Season 5 is by far the worst. The time jumps were just an complete mess, and Jack's plan to blow everyone up and reset the timeline was fucking stupid too. I know a lot of people disliked the alternate afterlife flashsideways but it was never as bad as S5
>>69235796
The timejumps weren't messy at all. They jumped to random times of the islands history. The end.
And the bomb wasn't Jack's plan, it was Daniel's... and it wasn't any more stupid than moving the island or pushing/not pushing a button that supposedly saves the world.
>>69235872
>The timejumps weren't messy at all. They jumped to random times of the islands history. The end.
Why not thousands of years in the past or future? Why convenient points in the islands immediate history?
>>69235796
ill never understand how can anyone not like season 5.
Even if the first few episodes were a bit shakey, there was a tremendous amount of payoff to time travel. The dharma plot was 10/10 and the finale was 11/10.
Also the 2007 stuff with Locke being "resurrected" is even better after knowing the twist.
It was a season with great payoff in the end. Very satisfying.
Messy is how id describe s6. The flashes were largely filler. Watch the first episodes flashes, 11's and the finales and its perfect and the reveal is just as effective in the end.
>>69233599
>lostpedia and lost chat rooms
rip :(
>>69236011
>and the finale was 11/10.
No it wasn't. Jack literally risked killing everyone and everything on the off chance his unsubstantiated theories about time travel were correct. It was pure lunacy and poor writing
>>69233599
>trying to make lost kino
You've picked the best screencaps the show can offer and it still falls short
>>69236011
>finale was 11/10
Literally the most retarded ending in the history of television. It was so bad that it retroactively destroyed the entire show and exposed Jew Jew Abrams for the talentless kike he is.
>>69236051
You simply don't understand the character of Jack then.
His doctor/leader personality is just a thin veneer over the insecure loon that's underneath.
That's basically what all his flashbacks are about.. him not being well adjusted or relaxed at any point in his life.
>>69233599
This is true. Lost the show is a pretty fun ride but without the internet fandom you're only getting half the experience.
The great thing about Lost's internet fandom is that people had such a fucking meltdown about the show being ruined and shitty in season 2 in the internet and media, by the time it got to like season 4 most of the fans were tired of arguing and instead of getting mad at dumb writing just made jokes about it
>>69235920
There was a bunch of time jumps that were unknown times or thousands of years in the past. But I do agree it was a bit too convenient.
>>69236236
>him not being well adjusted or relaxed at any point in his life.
Only spontaneously does he lose control. This was a plan he thought about and concocted for a very long time. You had multiple other people go along with it, despite someone questioning whether the timeline would simply reset. It was awful, poorly written tripe that made no sense and completely undermined the previous 4 seasons of character development
>>69236236
well damon lindelof pretty much admitted jack is based on him (hence why so much time is dedicated to his issues)
so when you think about it, it can be a metaphor for what lindelof did with the series... i guess
>>69233528
What are some good shows that have the mystery and allure of Lost...but actually deliver a satisfying conclusion?
>>69236315
>>69233709
this
I remember watching the pilot and hating it, I've never seen anything else and never want to
>>69233599
>>69236034
>>69236255
I've only seen a few episodes some years ago and want to get back into it.
Do you guys know where I can find forum discussions and stuff like lostpedia or lost chatroom archives where you see people arguing and theorizing.
Because I really want to get in the mood and read the discussions after every episode.
Is LOST worth it? Never made it past season 4 cus shit was getting seriously boring. I heard the ending sucks too. Should I continue watching?
>>69236366
didn't they remade this with james caviezel?
>>69236427
Wasn't really a remake and it was shit
Lost sucked
>muh smoke monster
>muh flashbacks
>muh shitty one dimensional love triangles
It was entry level garbage with a story full of plot holes and unlikeable static characters. Prove me wrong.
I never did, so I guess I could.
Do you envy me, /tv/?
>>69236465
>Prove me wrong
I can't.
People defend it to the grave because they invested 10 years of their life into it and refuse to acknowledge that it really was shitty. Some characters were ok though, Eko in particular.
>>69236485
No, because watching it along with the internet and discussing with your friends is what made the show truly stand out.
>>69236412
not if you don't want to see Juliet get hotter in every passing season
I didn't have a problem with the ending, but I didn't have a problem with the BSG ending either
>>69236485
no, probably because you're 16 years old too lmao
>>69236485
Not really, you missed out on the cultural zeitgeist and peak /tv/ in 07 and 08 that accompanied the show
If you watched it now you'd be amazed by the first few episodes then wonder how the fuck they tricked the audience into 6 seasons
>>69236522
If it requires internet discussion to stand out then it wasn't very good to begin with.
I marathoned it and S1 was 9/10, S2/S3 were 7/10. S4-S6 were 5/10.
>>69233528
>>69233552
I've intentionally never rewatched any of the episodes so that I can go through it all after a very long time to try to experience it again. Hopefully with someone who's never seen it before.
>>69233599
Sadly I never got to really experience the metatextual stuff. I don't think I had discovered /tv/ yet at that point and didn't read up about it online between episodes. But I remember seeing the pilot when it first aired in my country and I never missed an episode after that.
>>69236578
6 seasons is one thing. 6 seasons with 25, hour-long episodes each is another thing entirely.
>>69236585
I never said that it was only good with internet discussion. I said its what made it stand out.
>>69236607
>6 seasons over 6 years with on average an episode every two weeks that everyone eagerly anticipated
such a chooore
>>69236615
bullshit, no chick ever wants to be the big spoon.
>>69236640
>1 episode a week takes half a fucking year to finish ONE SEASON
what a chore indeed.
>>69236585
internet discussion made it stand out, it was one of the first shows that had normies get into that type of thing, people forget that in 04, 05 most people still thought of the internet was a place to steal music and post blog updates
>>69236659
Speak for yourself.
>>69236669
why? Are you one of these limp milennial faggots who prefers to watch 8 episode seasons once a year?
Lost is my favorite show of all time, but I don't consider it a 10/10. It's weird, I can see the faults clearly, and I didn't even enjoy the final season that much at all thanks to the flash-sideways taking up waaaay too much time, but still.
It's not the best, but its my favorite.

>people forget that in 04, 05 most people still thought of the internet was a place to steal music and post blog updates
when did this change? If anything forum and chatroom discussion was much more popular in the mid 000s. Now everything revolves around le social media
>>69233528
Don't tell me what I can't do
>>69236703
you'e most likely a millennial too. stop trying to use it as an insult
>>69236745
Forum and chatroom discussion turned into social media/reddit. I'd say it was roughly around the time TWD and GoT came out.
I remember Lost S6 was still largely discussed on fan forums with thousands of new posts every day. Good times!
>>69236749
you can be a millennial but not be a cultural millennial, just like you can browse reddit but not be a redditor
>>69236175
>exposed the guy who had nothing to do with the show past the finale
ok bruh, I hate jj as much as the next neet on tv but he had nothing to do with the show other than developing the concept for the pilot
I'm glad I never cared about answers. The ridiculous twists and storyline in later season made this an excellent rollercoaster ride. And the characters being awesome helped. Seriously, best ensemble cast right here (ignoring the minor mis-step with Ana Lucia and NikkiPaulo).
The music was god tier too. Probabbly the best of any tv show.
Hell, I wish they actually showed less of the light-source thing. It was way too cheesy. But I guess people would be even more mad if they didn't.
>>69233528
Why is LOST the only "Great Show" that actually gets worse and worse each time you rewatch it?
>there was a point in time where the actors on lost were as hot as the GOT actors but none went on to do anything in hollywood
>>69236939
does it? how many times have you watched it? imo season 1 is the greatest season of television ever produced
>>69236939
but it gets better.
>>69236987
>who is evangeline lilly
Any of you guys watching The Leftovers? Feels like everything great about Lost minus all of the shit that dragged it down. I'm extremely excited for the last season.
>>69236987
why do people think that because they were in something popular once that they're entitled to have their careers blow up? Jin was just some asian extra and he became main cast. Fucking great. Same with locke. Evangeline was doing fucking phone sex commercials and look at her now. It's not like they were all great actors, they were decent and they have had decent careers post lost.
>Lindelof insists every single mystery will be clarified
>you trust him
Never trust a TV executive.
>>69237202
>bit role in the hobbit and a generic love interest in a marvel movie
wew
>>69237287
>bit roles in pretty huge movies
how fucking embarrassing, right?
>>69237253
Jin probably ended up the best afterwards with a solid gig in hawaii 5-0, WALTTTTTTTs dad is or was on that shitty zombie show that had GRRM on it. Only other person I remember getting something was the hot blonde sister being in Taken as the daughter and boon being on that vampire show
>>69237335
>love interest roles
Yes, those are the signs of a dead career. See literally every other LI in marvel movies
I'm not a tv guy, but 3 or 4 years ago I asked people to recommend me something to watch. Of all the things suggested Lost and Sopranos seemed the most interesting. So I watched both. It took me like, 2 or so months. I was exhausted by the end, but also stunned at how great both shows were.
To this day I couldnt get through any other tv show. i always watch a few episodes and then give up. It seems like theres no point, those 2 shows cover everything. Breaking Bad just felt like a poor mans Sopranos for example.
>>69237354
>shitty zombie show
First, it's good. And second, he was in one episode
Never got in to this shitshow.
>>69237438
Check out both Mad Men and The Leftovers, both of them being spiritual successors to The Sopranos and Lost.
>>69237670
Thanks, looked them up, both look interesting. Will check.
>tfw i and dad were hyped af.
>staying late in the night to see the new episode.
>tfw you missed one episode you were fucked.
Great times lads.
Also i can't remember if i rewatch it or not, in the last 5 years.
But tbqf I'll rewatch it soon, i guess.
>>69237819
>tfw discussing and theorizing with all my bros after an episode
>all those retarded theories that somehow came true
>all those things we were completely certain about that didnt
>being more excited for a desmond/locke/ben linus episode than for fucking xmas
Fuck, it was awesome.
>>69237904
Oh man when they discover Desmond place , i thought he was the mastermind of the island, but he is just a lost soul.
When Ben ' manipulative master mind " Linus appeared, mind gaming all of them WOW.
When they found the old van with bones and booze.
">being more excited for a desmond/locke/ben linus episode than for fucking xmas"
That feel.
>>69237594
I guess that was the first episode since I only watched that before dropping it
>>69238069
he literally died in the first episode dude
>>69236987
Charlie was literally a main character in all 3 Lord of the Ring films, he was Merry. This was also BEFORE Lost
>>69233599
God damn.
I've been rewatching it, and while I'm loving it, this is the truth. There will never be another show like LOST, the experience of being along for the ride is the most memorable a tv show will ever get for me.
I always say, Lost as an experience is 10/10.
But if you try to be "objective", look at the quality of the writing and cohesiveness, then yeah its got a lot of flaws.
Regardless - there is nothing quite like it. I actually chucked when the TWD showrunner had the audacity to compare their s6 finale to Lost finales.
Never saw it
>>69233599
>those screencaps
i havent seen lost since it ended but i can recall every one of those moments very clearly.
I want to watch it again but there's so many useless boring shit like the gooks love story flashbacks or the black father/son love/hate.
Also kate is stupid and ugly.
>Lost is the ultimate example of a long con
so meta
>>69241281
Jin and Sun are really good characters though. They really only start getting boring in season 3 when there's nothing left of their story to tell and they just start subsisting.
But Jin remains a great side character throughout the entire shows existence, who doesn't love this guy?
>>69241281
Yeah there is a lot of shit that is just terrible. Eko would've changed the whole series if he didn't want to leave the show and then they did that fucking stupid death to kill him off which made little sense.
Just fuck half the shit that happened. Apparently they also never finished writing a proper explanation of Walt on why he was "special" because they thought they were going to cancelled after the 10th episode.
Overall a great fucking show but the potential it had is ridiculous.
Most of the women on the show are redundant and don't do anything. The fucking pregnant Aussie chick oh my god. She fucking does nothing at all except cause pain for the other characters then goes crazy in the most annoying way.
>>69241648
sounds like real life
>>69241281
ill agree about Michael but Jin and Sun are based.
I've never seen it. Should I bother or it is just "you had to be there" bullshit? Of course I've never had friends so I wouldn't have theorized anything with anyone even if I did watch it when it was recent
>>69241769
You should still bother, being there made it all the better. But it's still worth watching.
I've rewatched the show many times, knowing everything that happens and it's still a good time.
>>69241746
>>69241587
Not that I don't like them but the forbidden love with the strict father and shit really feels like watching some bad tele novelas.
This full episode where he buys some stuffed panda seriously...
>>69242043
that was a trick episode, though. The panda wasn't for Sun. It was a Jin flashback. Sun was having a flashforward. It was pretty cool, although once you know the twist its pretty flat.
>>69241769
you should, its not perfect but its actually incredibly entertaining from start to finish.
>Mr eko whole arc
>that flashback of him with his brother as he's dying
>him reciting Psalm 23 with charlie in season 2
GOAT character
>>69233528
>started watching lost couple of weeks back, get through season 1 and a bit of season 2.
>favourite character is locke, his ost is one of the best, especially the one when he wakes up after the crash realising he has the use of his legs back.
>go on youtube to listen to it; top comment spoils what he becomes later on.
Fuck this shit, wish I watched it when it was first on tv.
>>69242168
Regardless, Locke's entire arc is amazing, only surpassed by Jack's. Don't be disheartened by getting spoiled.
I only watched it for the first time a month or so ago.
Season 1 was great.
Season 2 was less great.
Season 3 sucked.
Season 4 was GOAT (except for maybe 1)
Season 5 was middle ground.
Season 6 was solid.
1 > 4 > 6 > 5 > 2 > 3
>>69242625
What makes you dislike season 3 so much? I loved it.
Season 4 felt like it lacked substance by comparison, outside of Desmond and Ben's episode there are no episodes that are all character driven, it's all very plot driven which made it feel shallow compared to the previous ones.
Iv never seen lost
>>69240341
That probably is the best comment I've ever read to describe LOST.
>>69243100

>we'l never see Sawyer do Sawyer things for the first time again
Favorite character. Has he been in anything lately?
>>69242096
screw mr eko and screw his actor for deciding to fuck off. I just have this feeling the show would've been much better if he had stayed.
>>69242096
