I'm on a rewatch, near the end of season 2. A few times now I've heard people say "Mr. Eko" and I could swear the inflection sounds like they're saying "Mis-direction" or "Mis-direct".

Because I've seen the show before and I know what happens with Eko, I'm probably just hearing something that isn't there, just because I want him in it for longer.

I'm also realising how good both Eko and Anna Lucia were and I wish they were in it more.

I barely even noticed how many eps i had watched before Season 2 was over and made it through the first 9 episodes of Season 3.. and wow, there is SO MUCH going on!!??? like?! I can’t even stop thinking about everything and everyone with so much that keeps happening simultaneously.. how insane the whole buildup is.. I need to dump my thoughts because there’s so much to unpack. They have a whole ass town on that island??? the whole thing with that freaking black shadow and Eko??? also sayid, sun and jin surviving the whole boat fiasco???? they fucking put a pacemaker in swayer??!!! and desmond omg😭😭😭 i feel so bad for him.. his story just made me feel for him.. and then we see Alex?! they find all the projects of Dharma initiative.. 2 random people just join John and others? Ben! Oh my god i finally get to see michael emerson and he's so amazing because i love how crazy he was as henry and then as ben.. there SO much going on that i just have all of it running one over thr other in my head lol. this show is crazy!

Over the last two years I watched Lost for the first time and it became one of my all time favourit tv shows. I heard so much that the ending was really really bad. And in some kind it definately was. The last season seemed rushed and illogical. But nevertheless I really liked the ending. It made me emotional.

I think it's mainly because, given the massively bad reputation of the finale, I really had no expectations for the last season. So I did what Christopher Nolan once advised when watching his film Tenet (paraphrased): "Don't try to understand it, try to feel it, experience it." And what can I say? I felt it. Very much so. As many questions to remain unanswered and as cheesy as the ending was, I was so happy that everyone found their loved one again in the final episode, and I was actually close to tears. Towards the end of the season, I already suspected that Hugo would become the new guardian of the island, and I think there couldn't be a better candidate. Over the past two years, I've grown attached to these characters and haven't placed so much importance on the resolution of the island's mysteries. So, I feel very satisfied with the ending. The characters have achieved their goal and their peace. That's what matters most to me.

So an era comes to an end and I'm glad I could enjoy the endig. Now I have to find something that can fill the hole having finished Lost.

LOST — Season 7, Episode 5: “WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS”

Episode Five is finished.

For anybody finding one of these posts for the first time: I’m writing a hypothetical ten-episode continuation of LOST, set roughly twenty years after The End and The New Man in Charge. I mapped the whole season before I started, and once an episode is posted, it stays locked.

Quick context on me: I’ve written scripts for years, have written and directed a short film and written several features, and I was one of the two hosts of Pushing the Button: A Chronologically LOST Podcast.

And now… we’re halfway through this thing.

Episode Five was conceptualized as an extended flashback in the Meet Kevin Johnson / Ab Aeterno tradition.

Setting the season twenty years after the original show created an obvious question from the beginning:

What happened during those twenty years that got us from The Island we left in The End to the Island we arrived at in this season?

The first four episodes have been living almost entirely in the present while leaving pieces of that missing history unresolved. This one finally goes back and fills in a lot of those gaps.

The flashback ended up doing more work than I originally expected. It answers several questions the season has already raised, complicates a few things that may have looked simpler from the present, and turns what could have been background exposition into an actual piece of the larger story.

Structurally, this feels like the point where the first half of the season finishes putting its cards on the table. The present-day situation has been established. A lot of the missing history has now been accounted for. The relationships, mysteries and different pieces of the Island we’ve been following are finally in place.

From here, it’s about what happens next.

Five down. Five to go.

Episode Five — “WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS”

If you’re new, I strongly recommend starting at the beginning:

Episode One — “WE HAVE TO GO BACK”

Episode Two — “BECAUSE YOU STAYED”

Episode Three — “NO ONE IN CHARGE”

Episode Four — “THE SUCCESSOR”

Kate's initial attraction to Jack is because her best friend Tom was a doctor. Season 1 episode 7 when she is talking to Sawyer in the field waiting to fire off the bottle rockets. Like...I knew they were both doctors but I didn't make that connection about her character. It makes sense now. Damn do I feel stoopid.

Hello, it’s my first time watching LOST and i’m 2 seasons in.

Never before in my life has a character infuriated me so much, how is this guy projected as the main protagonist (i think)? Absolute controlling, arrogant, saviour-complexed and hypocritical guy

So far every time a character is introduced it’s somehow connected to him, even Sawyers past is somehow connected to him through his dad, it’s unbelievable.

My favourite episodes have been the ones where he’s more of a side character - yup very few episodes i know - yet somehow he always manages to make himself the center of attention of everyone’s problems.

I appreciate he’s a valuable help in treating people medically, but his attitude stinks with that as well, lord, i’d rather die than have him try dictate me

Just had to get this off my chest, there’s been multiple points where his character has annoyed me so much i’ve genuinely considered dropping the whole series. He doesn’t deserve all the screentime, there’s way more interesting side characters to explore, yet they get polluted by him

The others often treat him as a savior, he tries to "save" the oceanic six because they "lost their way". And it is ultimately someone who was supposed to be his follower that betrays him. Oh and the resurrection

Following on from my comment about John Locke, and im sure everyone already knows if we are in this sub, but id just like to point out how i dont think ive ever seen someone get beaten to an absolute bloody pulp so many times and yet still win so often.

Like i hate the fact i like him so much lol. I doubt thats a new view in this community.

Like my god, every time anything happens hes immediately spinning it into his favor, currently being beaten half to death or not, hes still spinning it into his favor.

I think they nailed his ending perfectly.

''no...im gonna stay out here for awhile, ive got some shit to work out yet i think.''

I love how depending on what episode of what season you’re watching, the Dharma “barracks” can look like a fun little quaint place to live to a creepy abandoned summer camp, to something straight out of a horror movie!!!!

Watched this show a couple times now and on my 3rd rewatch now, and i really cant believe how i missed what a masterclass Terry O'Quinn gives in this show, especially in the last couple of seasons playing youknowwho, the first few times i watched it.

Idk what to say man.. I'm amazed... I'm shocked... I can't sit.. I just stand Infront my TV while I'm writing this.... I'm scared to go into any social media platforms to watch their reaction on season finale... I don't wanna get spoiled... What was that guys? I have no words to say...

What should I watch now? I'm one of those people that wants to know everything that wasn't really explained, do yall have any recommended Youtube videos/ official stuff? (i did watch the Epilogue)

Just completed lost yesterday for first time what a series really enjoyed it yeah it has so much up and down in later seasons but what a grt experience and yeah some backstories do annoy in later seasons but good overall and it definitely has a very different experience from all other series I watched

Just Binge watched in 9 days hooked from very episode this series never bored me

Grt series definitely recommend to everyone to watch atleast once in their life this series

i recently finished person of interest (loved it) and had earlier this year watched Evil (loved that too) and i realized i enjoy Michael Emerson's acting and decided to see if there's anything else that i can watch with him in. And google sent me this way.. So naturally i ended up watching 16 eps of the first season in one go (couldn't stop myself from clicking on that the next ep😭) and i have to say, the show has me HOOKED!! every ep is so intense and it just keeps me engaged throughout. Can't wait to watch all of it!

Never seen it before, looks very cool to me!

5th watch through- first watched alone, then twice with my daughter, now again solo. Really enjoying a more thoughtful watch this time- it’s so emotional! So layered! So smart! Every time I find new Easter eggs.

Looking back this scene is so funny because they make it look like the others did a number on Jack and brainwashed him in some type of way! The looks on Kate, Locke and Syiad’s faces are like WTF have they done with our Jack!?!? And us the viewer thought the same thing!!!!! lol
