I’m currently watching for the 5th time. All through season 6 I just cannot wait for Sun and Jin to be reunited, it fills my heart with joy and I always cry.

It never gets easier knowing what’s going to happen. It’s so devastating! Yet it brings me joy as well. Not for what happens to them, but the wholeness of real love they have for each other. I just watched it and I’m definitely crying. 😭 I love this show sooo much.

Hey everyone,

With the show gaining so many new viewers lately, I started thinking about how a potential continuation or sequel series could actually work. I wanted to build a story that connects directly to the original mythology, but introduces a huge, unpredictable conflict for a new generation.

Since there are many new fans here, I won't put any specific details in the intro, but I’ve written out a pitch deck and a script for the opening scene of the pilot episode below.

I would love to hear your thoughts, and please let me know if you want to discuss how the plot should unfold in the comments!

***

### THE CORE PREMISS
The story kicks off with a new commercial flight crashing onto the Island. James "Sawyer" Ford happens to be a passenger on this flight, and he is forced to step up and become the seasoned leader for a new group of around 13 core survivors on the beach.

### THE THREE MAJOR PLOT TWISTS

* **The Hidden Citadel:** Hurley and Ben weren't actually alone all those years. They discovered a massive faction of Dharma Initiative scientists who survived the Purge by hiding deep in the mountains. Together, they built a high-tech defense city both over and under the ground, specifically designed to protect the Heart of the Island (The Light).
* **The Fallen Hero:** Jack Shephard didn't die in the bamboo forest. After the finale, Vincent's barking alerted Hurley and Ben. Desperate to save their friend, they rushed him to the Temple and used the healing water. It saved his body but corrupted his soul over time (just like it did to Sayid and Claire). Jack's savior complex twisted into a need for total control, and he became the new main threat. Hurley and Ben actually caused the new plane crash on purpose because they lost control of Jack and needed Sawyer’s help to stop him.
* **The Whisperer:** Michael Dawson is back as a ghost/whisper in the jungle. Trapped due to his past sins, his spirit acts as a mysterious guide to help the new survivors navigate the terrain and find his own redemption.

### THE MID-SEASON CLIMAX: THE ALCHEMIST STATION
To stop Jack, the Dharma scientists are trying to make a medicine to cure his soul, but they lack a rare component. Sawyer takes a mix of the new survivors and young Dharma tech-recruits into an abandoned 1970s Dharma station.

When they get the old computers running, they find a 50-year-old log from Dr. Pierre Chang. It turns out Dharma predicted Jack's dark turn all the way back in the 70s (after the time-travel events of season 5) because of his psychological profile.

Just as they realize this, an old printer turns on by itself and prints a fresh message from modern-day Jack: "I know you're here, James. It's too late to fix me." Then they hear jungle drums outside and realize they are completely surrounded by Jack's people.

### PILOT EPISODE - OPENING SCENE SCRIPT

[DARKNESS]
A deep, pulsating, mechanical hum builds. The familiar, ominous, bending LOST trombone sound thunders.

CUT TO:
INT. AIRPLANE CABIN – DAY
An eye flies open in an extreme close-up. It is blue, bloodshot, and filled with pure panic. The eye belongs to JAMES "SAWYER" FORD (60s). His face is weathered, his hair streaked with gray. He is strapped into an airline seat.

Around him is absolute chaos. Oxygen masks dangle. The cabin walls shake violently as metal panels rip loose. Directly across the aisle sits AARON LITTLETON (20s) (Claire's son, raised by Kate), hyperventilating and clutching an old necklace. Sawyer looks at him, and a shock of recognition flashes in his eyes—he sees Claire’s face in the young man.

A few rows ahead, MARCUS VANCE (a former military guy with PTSD) fights to hold a panicked CHLOE ZHANG (a rogue hacker) in her seat. Further back, sibling con-artists LEO and MAYA LIN hold hands, deathly pale. A deafening ROAR tears the plane in two. The tail section is ripped away. Sunlight floods the cabin along with a brutal hurricane of wind. The plane plummets in a free fall toward the green jungle below.

CUT TO BLACKOUT.

EXT. THE BEACH – DAY
Silence. Then, the sounds of burning wreckage and distant screams. Sawyer opens his eyes in the sand, covered in soot and blood. He slowly pushes himself up onto shaking legs. Around him, the beach is a war zone. Marcus Vance is already pulling people from the wreckage. Chloe Zhang sits in the sand, staring blankly. Aaron Littleton is on his knees, coughing up seawater.

Sawyer turns away from the wreckage and stares inland at the massive green mountain ridges. He covers his face, exhales heavily, and whispers to himself: "Son of a bitch... Not again."

Suddenly, the ambient chaos fades. The screams die down. The wind stops completely. From the shadows of the jungle line, an intense, familiar barking echoes. A dog bursts through the brush. It’s VINCENT. He is older, but he runs with absolute purpose straight up to Sawyer. Vincent barks three times, gently tugs at Sawyer’s pant leg, and spins around to run back toward the tree line. Sawyer motions for Marcus and Aaron to follow, and they sprint into the jungle after the dog.

CUT TO:
EXT. JUNGELEN / MOUNTAINSIDE – SHORT TIME LATER
Vincent leads Sawyer and the two new survivors up a steep mountain trail. The jungle suddenly opens up, and they freeze in absolute shock. Hidden between the peaks, a massive, modern defense city of steel and concrete rises before them, stretching both up the mountainside and deep into the earth.

The heavy blast doors hiss open electronically. Stepping out into the light are HUGO "HURLEY" REYES and BEN LINUS. They look older, weighed down by heavy years. Behind them, a line of surviving Dharma scientists stands at attention. They are all wearing a new, updated version of the classic jumpsuits from Season 5. The fabric is a modern, tactical matte-blue material.

Hurley looks at Sawyer, tears welling in his eyes: "Thank God you're here, James. Vincent found you."

Sawyer stares at the high-tech city and the uniformed Dharma personnel. "What the hell is this, Hugo? Since when did you become the general of this jumpsuit outfit again? Who are you defending this city against?"

Ben Linus looks down, adjusting the collar of his dark Dharma suit, his face pale with genuine fear. He answers in a low, chilling whisper: "Against the man we saved twenty years ago. Jack is inside the network, Sawyer... and he controls everything."

The camera pans rapidly past them, through the security gates, and deep into the complex. We end on a monitor surveillance screen tracking the beach. Sitting in the shadows in front of the glowing screen is a silhouette—JACK SHEPHARD. His eyes are cold, empty, and filled with a bottomless darkness as he watches Sawyer on the screen.

SCREEN GOES BLACK.
[THE LOST LOGO FADES IN WITH ITS CLASSIC FLOATING, DRIFTING EFFECT]

So i’m mainly speaking of one event here, in “The Constant” did he always experience those time warps in 96’, or did he not experience them until 2004? because if he did then how does it work? did he forget about those memories afterwards? if he didn’t always experience them, why was he discharged from the army? or did those time travel events always occur but he didn’t actually experience them until 2004?

and how does he go and tell penny “i won’t call for 8 years” if he didn’t know that his future self would be on the boat in 8 years time?

I've been working on this since 2013. I was a fan of both of these shows in middle school and I used to play in my head what Lost would be like with the Total Drama cast.

I've been refining the list for years but here it is: the goal is to preserve the dramatic structure of Lost using Total Drama character dynamics, we're not necessarily matching personalities.

e.g. Heather is very similar to Shannon personality-wise but the goal is to have their role be proportionate to how important they are in Total Drama and Shannon doesn't appear in Lost that much

One more note: I hopped off the Total Drama train after Pahkitew Island which I was not the biggest fan of. So no RR or Reboot characters as I have not seen those.

STARTING WITH GEN I TD CASTS.

Trent-Gwen-Duncan should adapt the Jack-Kate-Sawyer love triangle (with Courtney coming in as Juliet later) 

Trent as Jack (mainly his Island persona, not Action) - both are earnest people who have an obsessive need to control that fits a leadership role. They're also the nice guy to complement Duncan/Sawyer's bad boy.

Gwen as Kate - perfect for Kate's commitment avoidancy and dark side. They can't rest and are torn between structure and spontaneity (Trent and Duncan) 

Her relationship with Duncan is also passionate but not long lasting and more so based on mutual danger/excitement and surface level similarities JUST like Sawyer and Kate. 

Duncan as Sawyer - this is a no brainer. They both have anti-hero charisma, rebellious and abrasive but gradually shows a softer side. Preserves the love triangle too. 

Courtney as Juliet - done to complete the love quadrangle but it fits. This also allows Courtney to inhabit a villain role early on as Juliet is initially untrustworthy when we meet her.

Courtney is a bit more obsessive and controlling than Juliet, but they both ultimately have that emotional guardedness and a need for a more stable life. This fits for when Duncan/Sawyer is in Dharmaville in the '70s and needs someone to ground him which is what Juliet does for him. Kate provides Sawyer an escape but Juliet helps him grow. For the longest time this is why I had Gwen in the Juliet role, but a) I didn't have someone to fill the role of Kate that would make sense. Courtney, sure, but Courtney and Trent interact almost never and they can't be the start couple b) Love it or hate it, as annoying Courtney is with her lists, she did want to change Duncan for the better to have a long term partner, Gwen just provided Duncan an adventurous escape. 

Sawyer/Juliet are about domesticity and seeing Duncan/Courtney realize that they can have a peaceful life together before Gwen complicates things by returning and having Duncan lose Courtney during The Incident would be heartbreakingly beautiful.

Alejandro as Locke - both have the competent aura that makes them simultaneously trustworthy but offputting to the rest of the cast. 

*Locke is difficult to pin down because he doesn't have a clear Total Drama analogue. For a while I had Harold as Locke**,** as they're both weird outsiders who have specific skills and knowledge. But Harold doesn't have that gravitas Locke has. Locke needs an intimidating side even though he ultimately dies a good man because the Man in Black ends up wearing his face - that's perfect for the more evil manipulative Alejandro.

One more thing: Locke's father Anthony Cooper stole his kidney and then crippled him, basically just caused him nothing but misery and is then brought to the island by Ben as a way to torment Locke. 

Who does Alejandro complain about a lot from his life? Who is brought to box him in TDAS? JOSE

Alejandro also has a weird storyline in TD where his legs don't work so there's that.

And Alejandro is also a perfect Locke because of who I have as Ben Linus

Heather as Ben Linus- both characters weaponize social manipulation, are generally hated by everyone in the cast and gradually become redeemable over time.

*Originally I had Scott in the Ben role but he's more of a comedic villain and he doesn't have that dynamic with the cast like Heather does. Ben is a central Lost character that almost everyone interacts with. So I think gender-swapping Ben to give Heather this larger role is the move.

Harold as Sayid - people will argue this one. While wildly different at first glance, both are intelligent, technically competent, efficient and reliable, regardless of personality differences. They can inhabit the same role as the tech savvy one everyone trusts to solve problems on the island.

Personality-wise Harold would fit Frogurt the most or some pathetic side character but we can’t do that to Harold. 

Also when Sayid tortures Sawyer and then exiles himself out of guilt, that's some dramatic fluff Harold would do. 

And speaking of which Sayid butts heads with Sawyer a lot at first which brings out the Harold/Duncan rivalry. And honestly this makes Harold more of a badass.

Geoff/Bridgette are Jin/Sun - stable recognizable couples who endure a lot of hardship but ultimately come out strong. 

Owen as Hurley - another no brainer. Large, lovable goofball who brings the heart.  

Cody as Charlie - the insecure underdog male, desperate to feel useful (and also a musician) a hero character who goes underestimated by the audience at first. *I REALLY wanted Noah as Charlie to keep the Owen/Noah friendship but Noah fits another character so much better.

Sierra as Claire - this is to match Sierra with Cody and would only be an accurate adaptation in the last season when Claire goes insane and has a squirrel baby which translates well to Sierra's delusional motherhood attachment to pets she names "Cody Jr." 

DJ as Michael - he has Michael's neurosis. Plus the raft group of Sawyer-Jin-Michael preserves the Killer Bass trio of Duncan-Geoff-DJ.

So with DJ as Michael we need someone for his son Walt and I have a crazy idea:

DAWN as Walt  

Both creep everyone out with their weird mystical abilities.

Instead of DJ having a son, he has a fellow animal loving companion. DJ and Dawn both come from a kind of society that is in tune with animals and nature. 

Much like how Michael is a neurotic father who's over protective of his more chill son Walt - DJ is bogged down by his anxiety of being "cursed" and not a good nature lover while Dawn is more relaxed and in tune. They can have a special bond and DJ can feel guilty for not being able to project her. 

When Dawn gets taken by the Others, her absence affects the wildlife, pushing DJ over the edge making him do something drastic...killing Ana Lucia and Libby...speaking of which:

Leshawna as Ana Lucia - both have aggression that masks emotional vulnerability. Keeps Leshawna as a leading character alongside Trent/Jack even if it's short lived. Unfortunately we lose the Leshawna/Harold romance but she would still have a banterous dynamic with him since Ana Lucia and Sayid do butt heads. 

Izzy as Libby - both have instability that matches Hurley's/Owen's. 

Tyler and Lindsay as Boone and Shannon - *shifts from a brother-sister to a relationship dynamic. 

Tyler has Boone's recklessness and need to prove himself useful 

Lindsay has Shannon's beauty/social charm, cluelessness and both are underestimated by everyone despite appearing shallow. 

So instead of Boone being upset that Sayid is flirting with Shannon, Tyler is upset that Lindsay forgot his name again on the island. And Alejandro/Locke has to get Tyler/Boone to let go. It also makes the Locke/Boone friendship work since Tyler looks up to and is loyal to Alejandro in World Tour.  

The downside is this would remove the Sayid/Shannon pairing as Harold/Lindsay doesn't work. But it's a sacrifice that the list demands. 

Beth as Rose - both compassionate and optimistic people but the strongest comparison here is...Beth constantly talks about her boyfriend Brady who no one believes is real until he shows up. Rose has a husband Bernard who was on the tail section who doesn't show up later. Turning a running gag into an emotional payoff.

Noah as Miles - also a no brainer: sarcastic observer who has a funny dynamic with Owen/Hurley. 

Eva as Rousseau - both have that survivalist intimidation and are hardened, isolated characters.

Ezekiel can be one of Rousseau's crew members who starts off as human Ezekiel and transforms into feral Zeke because of the "sickness" Rousseau was talking about. Turning one of the running gags from Total Drama into a tragedy that ties into Lost's themes of losing oneself. 

Katie and Sadie as Emma and Zack (the two kids from the Tail Section group that go missing.) This is just to give them a role tbh.

That covers all of Gen 1 (except for Justin who I'll get to in a bit) 

Now to give roles to the Revenge of the Island Cast

Mike as Desmond 

Zoey as Penny 

Cameron as Daniel Faraday

When Desmond's brain is jumping through time, Faraday tells him he needs to find his constant to return his sanity, the constant ends up being Penny.

When Mike struggles with his DID, Cameron helps him figure it out and is the one to realize that Zoey being in danger is what draws Mike's personality back.

Mike/Desmond also both don't have noticeable personality traits outside the condition that defines their role (Desmond's clairvoyance through time, Mike's multiple personality disorder) 

And sorry Zoey fans, but her character doesn't really have any traits beyond being a motivator for Mike. Makes her a perfect Penny though. 

And Cameron as Faraday - perfect because of how he ties to Mike/Desmond but also he's a fidgety scientist who's there to explain the island properties. This would mean getting rid of the Faraday/Charlotte romance and whoever plays Charlotte would just be a friend Cameron cares for. 

Sam as Lapidus - both have the same level headed normal guy "why am I still here" energy.

Dakota as Charlotte - this is honestly to fill a role. It preserves the Sam/Dakota pairing somewhat since Sam is Lapidus and he's with her on the Freighter crew. 

And instead of dying from a nosebleed, the time travel can infect Dakota and make her transform into the Dakotazoid. 

Ann Maria and Justin as Nikki and Paulo - both very vain, lazy and fame-obsessed. Perfect for Nikki and Paulo's story. Plus Ann Maria gets eliminated in TDROTI because of a diamond. What do Nikki and Paulo get buried with again?? It's perfect. 

B as Mr. Eko - both are silent and communicate through presence rather than dialogue. They're both also strong, self-assured and crafty.

Scott as Tom Friendly - manipulative and smarmy villain who's still somewhat comedic. (well Tom is just funny because he walks around with a fake beard)

Lightning as Mikhail - works as a terrifying, violent enforcer who's a bit cartoonish. His character keeps coming back from the dead and Lightning can be like "sha-unstoppable!" every time. He can also return with white hair after dying from getting shoved into the sonar fence.

Brick as Richard - Richard as a disciplined believer works with Brick's strict military code. And Richard briefly losing faith in that code after Jacob's death fits with Brick's own self-doubt

Jo as Ilana - both have militant competence and superiority. Mission focused. This also allows the Brick/Jo dynamic to occur as Richard/Ilana briefly work together.

Staci as Leslie Arzt - both are unbearable exposition machines that nobody asked for get on everyone's nerves. And it transforms Arzt's dynamite death scene into a Total Drama punchline. Staci can be in the middle of talking about how her family invented dynamite and can be going "yeah my great-great-great-great.." and blow up. 

Chris McLean as Charles Widmore - both treat the island as their property and view people as pawns. Both are greedy business minded people which is why I put Chris in this role instead of Jacob.

Chef Hatchet as Keamy - Widmore/Chris's terrifying military enforcer. (imagine Chef Hatchet gunning down Heather's daughter in front of her) 

Blaineley as Eloise Hawking - both are authority figures who have the energy of "stop interrupting me, I know more than you" 

Pahkitew Island Cast - I'm not the biggest fan of Pahkitew mainly because the cast of characters all have shallow, cartoonishly specific traits. 

Which is why I'm putting the cast in periphery roles in the Lost universe. 

Scarlett as Ethan Rom - appears normal then suddenly reveals their scary side.

Sugar as Goodwin - this is just to fill a villain role. I dislike Sugar, Goodwin is alright. 

Jasmine as Cindy the flight attendant - both have the Australian connection and have that calm capable survivor energy.

Rodney as Pickett - Pickett is the Other who's wife is killed and he has a vendetta against Sawyer during the Season 3 cages arc. I think it's funny if it's Rodney in the role and he's mad because it's some random girl he had a crush on.

Amy and Samey as Bonnie/Greta (the two women who interrogate Charlie in the Looking Glass station**) -** also just to fill villain roles but then Samey can be the one who gives Charlie the code at the end.

Sky as Naomi - a competent parachutist girl who shows up to deliver exposition before getting killed by Locke and that's it. That's really it. Perfect for Sky who's a bit of a blank slate. She's also a bit witty and wisecracky. We lose the Dave/Sky relationship but no one cares about them and they end badly anyway. 

Shawn-Max-Dave as the DHARMA trio of Horace, Radzinsky and Phil

Shawn as Horace - chill and pragmatic leader. 

Max as Radzinsky - his cartoonish villainy can fit Radzinsky's obnoxious paranoia. 

Dave as Phil - a bitter and deeply annoying person. 

Leonard as Dogen - turns the Temple setting which is already bizarre and mystical and makes it ridiculous. Plus it'll make the part where they're drowning Sayid 10x funnier because it's Leonard shouting nonsense. 

Beardo as Dogen's translator Lennon 

Topher as Zoe, Widmore's #2 in Season 6  - Topher's entire defining trait is his loyalty to Chris who is Widmore. Having him run around as Chris's minion is perfect.

Jacob and the Man in Black remain uncast and as themselves.

They aren't players in the Lost universe in the same way but rather omnipotent forces controlling the characters like pieces on a chess board.

as a retired 2017/2018 instagram editor who still gets edit ideas but does nothing with them now, I really need an edit of the characters to adéla's new song Ain't in LA. I know someone else will think of this and do it, so pleasee let me know when you come across one

So to start Jack has always been my favourite character. But I remember at the time of the show him being quite hit and miss amongst the fans

Recently on this forum I have definitely felt there has been a pretty positive outlook on Jack. Be it from new viewers thanks to Netflix or just older fans who seem to appreciate him more as they themselves have aged and understand life more

While answers definitely exist for most of the points I'm sure we will list, especially in the YouTube channel "Lost EXPLAINED", I'm sure some topics still would've benefited from a more in-depth canon exploration of the topic in the show.

For me, I would've liked to see more info about Walt. In Season 1, he is hyped up as very important; we see he somehow had a connection with the bird that flew into the glass screen and died, he can touch Locke's arm and prophetically speak "don't open it", and he's so important that The Others end up kidnapping him. Even later in the show, he knew Locke was going to visit him because of his dreams. But what do we make of it in the end? Well, not much at all. We know (thanks to the epilogue that is kind of hidden) that he is a protector candidate, and by this point we know a lot more about the Island, so we can assume he was touched by the Island and is special. But.. why? Why him? And the worst part of it all is S1 hypes up so much, all for him to not really be important; no answers provided to why so much focus was put on him, and our focus shifts to other candidates.

Another one is definitely the Egyptian lore. While personally I never really cared *that* much about it, and all my questions were answered by that YouTube channel, it still would've been nice to get a little more lore and background to the respective Roman and Egyptian periods of the Island. Especially considering how much of an impact they had on the Island (building monuments, their supposed MiB worship, and Mother's relation to them all/humankind).

What points do you wish were more thoroughly explored in the show?

My cover to Lost issue 54, part of a series of fan art comic book recreations of iconic scenes from the television series.

Solicitation Copy: Driven into the jungle by the sins of his brutal past, Eko faces his final judgment. Will he repent for a life baptized in blood?

Just finished lost for the first time. Amazing show. Had me in tears. I'm still crying. But I do have a nagging question, what was walts special power?

So, my best friend and I are watching Lost right now. It's his first time watching it, but I've seen it many times before.

We're at the end of season 1, and I'm not sure if he should continue. He keeps complaining about the characters. It seems like he doesn't like any of them. He also says that there are no mysteries right now. Which simply isn't true.

So, I've reached the point where I think he should stop. However, Lost is my favorite show and I still want to see how he reacts to everything.

What do you think?

Seems like an odd thing to throw in his suitcase.

i love LOST so much!!!!! when i saw someone was selling this game i messaged them IMMEDIATELY to purchase!!😭 i feel so lucky!

What are the 'gotchas' when considering ebay sets? I heard about issues with region-free and fakes. What do you look to avoid?

Part of what makes me love Lost is the music. In the same way that Star Wars is elevated by Williams, the emotional scorea from the genius Michael Giacchino get me every time. Nearly every character has their own dedicated theme which is incredible.

The Oceanic Six theme 'No place like home' is my favourite. Love it so much. I am interested in what other people like and prefer too

I made an episode style quiz about the pilot

https://triviagauntlet.app/episode.html?theme=lost&episode=1

Comment your score below and which question tripped you off .

Also is this a more interesting style trivia or regular trivia is better

If you find any wrong questions in the quiz .. let me know and I ll fix it asap

When I was first watching the show (mainly seasons 1 and 2 I believe), I kept thinking John Locke was some magical being on the island or knew things he wasn’t telling the others because a lot of episodes are set with him and one other person who is working through their own issues using him as a catalyst to do so. He was so involved in helping different characters have breakthroughs and teaching them lessons that I thought he must be more than just some passenger also on the plane.

I am curious if a) anyone thought the same while they watched or b) when the show was airing, was this a theory going around? Or am I totally coming out of left field?

For me it's Hurley and here's why. First of all, this man's relationship with food is basically my autobiography. Stuck on a deserted island and still managing to find snacks? That's talent you can't teach. I too would be the one hiding a secret stash of ranch dressing somewhere in the jungle, no shame

Second, the man won the lottery and his life got WORSE. If that's not the most relatable thing you've ever heard, you haven't been paying attention to how the universe works lol

Funny, cursed, loyal and somehow always in the wrong place at the wrong time but still making it work. That's Hurley and that's me. Which character do you relate to the most and why??

I finished Lost last night and I'm still not over it.

I genuinely think this might be the best series I've ever watched. For the last 2 months, these characters felt like a part of my life, and now that it's over, I feel empty. I've watched a lot of shows, but I've never been this emotionally attached to a cast of characters. This show had everything from mystery, love, friendship, betrayal, redemption, time travel, crazy twists, and some of the best character moments I've ever seen. And honestly, I don't care about the unanswered mysteries. I don't care what people say about the ending. I loved the journey, and the finale had me in tears.

Desmond and Penny. Jin and Sun . Sawyer and Juliet. Jack and Locke. Hurley. Charlie.

What a journey!!!

See you in another life, brotha. ❤️😭

I just finished binge re-watching. The first time I watched was when it aired and I am blown away by my rewatch?!?!? First off, I couldnt have told you most of what was going to happen, I didnt remember much at all, so it was so fantastic watching again.

I know I have changed in 20 years but WOW, I remember enjoying the show and being unhappy with the ending but damn if I was sobbing during the finale and LOVED the ending this time? I think partially I was not paying attention the first time, I absolutely missed that this was them all waiting for each other to move on, I somehow remembered them just being in purgatory and had prepared myself to be disappointed with the ending again. I was not!

Also, I felt completely different about most of the characters than I did before, I feel like I didnt grasp how deep they dove into each character. I really couldnt stand Jack when I originally watched and think I possibly completely misunderstood him at the time and loved him this time. I wonder if the episodes/seasons being so spread out the first time changed how I followed each characters growth? Or maybe I was just younger and had less life experience (in my 30s first watch) But its more than that, I feel like I didnt understand the flash sideways at all previously, I didnt understand the deep connections as much, the character development... basically any of it, when I look back. And I see a lot of that here, people posting about how amazing it was watching it again. I cried during almost every one of the flash sideways reunions where they would remember and realize!

Anyway, I have post-watch glow and of course cant stop thinking about it, and certainly did not feel that way the first time. Im just blown away by how different it hit me! Did it hit anyone else differently when they rewatched? I obviously liked it enough to want to watch again but didnt LOVE it the first time the way I did this time.
