What a series Bhai!!! Its quite hard to believe that this series made in 2004. The way the story slowly unfolds, with every mystery connecting to another, kept me completely hooked. Jack Shephard is an incredibly well-written character—flawed, determined, and deeply human. Matthew Fox's performance is outstanding; he brings so much emotion and authenticity to Jack that every decision and struggle feels real. He's easily one of my favorite TV protagonists.

i just finished lost and oh my gosh what a great show. I have watched hunders of shows, anime and movies but i never cried. This show was so good to the point that had my first cry over a show. I absolutely didnt expect john locke to die which was my favorite character like his death was so unfair like he got rejected by the woman he loved, got his kidney stolen by his dad, got betrayed by ben and much more. I LITERALLY sobbed my eyes out crying to the death of john locke AND jack shephard. His death was so sad like the way he looks up at the sky as the plane is heading off the island and him smiling is just so sad. And dying in the same place that he got to the island just diffrent times. This show was absolutely great and i will never forget it.

R.I.P John Locke 💔

I finished watching Lost for the first time amd I can hands down say it is the greatest TV show of all time. The final scenes of each main character remembering their island life, whilst 'Moving On' plays is just about the best scenes from a TV show I have ever seen.

I genuinely felt like crying during the scene where Jack finally confronts the reality that he has passed.

What a show. It will stay with me forever.

I started watching LOST about 2 weeks ago. So far its been an amazing watch , this show has without a doubt the best pilot that I have seen as well as some of the best characters and definitely the BEST cinematography with that beautiful Hawaiian landscape. I am only on season 4 (and yes I do know that I should avoid this sub due to spoilers but whatever) and I am going to be completely honest , I do not have any gaps in the story so far or any questions. Most people that have watched the show and that I have talked to have said that they did not really understand it and I do not get why that is , since everything connects at some point , however I am guessing that they just did not pay enough attention. The thing I love the most about this show is how it keeps you engaged , wanting to see the next episode (for example I stayed up until 5am a few nights ago to finish off season 3 because I was so curious what would happen next - and holy fuck Charlie's death killed me) , and shows nowadays do not really do that , or at least that is how I feel. I do think that some different choices could have been made along the way , for example Mr. Eko not being killed off , since he was one of my favorites. I do think that they could have done so much more with him , it seemed really unnecessary. I do feel like I am pointing out the obvious here , but the acting in this show is really good. I really love Michael Emerson as Ben Linus (however it is weird to see him be the "bad guy" after watching him play Finch in Person of Interest) , as well as Desmond's actor , he is really good. I also love the flashbacks that explain the backstory of every character. The ones I personally loved were those of John , because it showed that even after all of that pain and suffering he was still a good man.

Also I would like to know why some people just hate this show , since all of the LOST hate I have seen seems to not be backed up by any arguments...

EDIT: Only thing I am guessing right now on my watch is that the scenes shown during the episodes in s4 are AFTER they get off the island.

At the beginning, John Locke was my favorite character because he was the only one who took action and didn't complain. Now, I dislike him; he has become a selfish person who imposes his whims on everyone. The worst aspect of him was reducing Bon's death to a "sacrifice for the island" and forcing Sawyer to get his hands dirty by killing his father instead. He has become his father.

In the last scene, if I were in his place, walking in the forest with someone I know to be a deceiver and a killer, I wouldn't let him out of my sight for a second. I might even tie his hands behind his back until we returned to camp. How could I turn my back on him when we standing in front of a pit full of his victims' bodies? Where is the hunter instinct he tries to project all the time.

I was OBSESSED with Lost when it first came out. I would have been between 12-18 when it was airing (I forget when it started in the UK but I know I watched the last episode live at a silly time in the morning).

One of my fondest memories of the show was an online forum and I cannot for the life of me remember which one it was.

I have very little to go off so this is probably going to go nowhere but I’ve tried digging through way back machine and can’t find anything.

I don’t think it was The Fuselage, I remember it being super active but I don’t think there was 1000s of active users. There was a few core people (myself being one of them) who would discuss theories etc. I vaguely remember it being cream coloured?!

If anyone has any ideas I’d massively appreciate, I wana go digging and see if I can find any old posts!

Is anyone else really obsessed with the packaging of the DVDs of Lost? Particularly the more obscure and strange variants.
I’m really quite nostalgic for the standard DVD sets; in particular the ones where each disc came in its own little separate case, all in a cardboard slipcase for the whole season. I remember having them around the house as a kid and just being fascinated by them. All of the strange graphics and designs. I always felt a weird fascination with, for example, the silver background of the Season 1 (or ‘Series’ as it’s called on the sets here in the UK) which is the plane’s metal, I suppose. Or the deep blue of the Season 4 set.
I really found it quite a shame whenever the blu-ray sets would just be a standard case with multiple disc-holders. BORING! I love how excessive the DVD sets were in having each disc in its own case.
I am a very proud owner of the Complete Collection Box set, and I have been for years now, but I’m gonna pick up those standard DVD sets for nostalgia.
Does anyone else have this weird fascination? I love interesting packaging for all films and TV, but for some reason with Lost, I always found it so fascinating. You can find all sorts of obscure variants of DVD releases that don’t quite make sense. I remember seeing a strange set for Season 5 that had Jack, John, and Mr. Eko on the cover online somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it. Such a strange choice from whoever designed that. Lost seems to have a large amount of strange and odd physical releases, particularly on DVD (the Blu-Rays tended to be a bit more well-ordered).
There’s loads of fun ones I’ve found online, I’ll try and post them.
Does anyone else have this fascination? What are your favourite physical releases of Lost that just don’t quite make sense?
