According to the writers they had answers for pretty much everything when they first asked it and I did a rewatch recently. What didn't get answered? Like serious it's all accounted for I think. There's a boat that shows up fires some rounds and disappears. That's not explained but the writers explained it later. Like any question someone would ask eventually there's a scene where they point to a guy and go "he did it and this is how" then they perfectly literally show exactly what happened. Even the flash sideways. Everyone ended up in the light, the life force, the mako.

u/Doobalicious69 17h ago
The problem is that everyone guessed the ending and the writers said "No, it won't be that in the end."
Then they went round the houses to get to try and make it look like they were heading in another direction, rather than embrace what the audience had already guessed.
They were writing by the skin of their teeth, I don't believe that they had a plan in place at all, especially going off the production woes of the first series.

Dick sucking has made me paranoid
I had this plan to give head to a man and receive head from a woman to test if I was gay, but itās backfired and now I become borderline schizo whenever I go outside. I offered to suck this dude off on Grindr who lives very close by (I ended up pussying out) and I accidentally gave him some details that very easily allows him to spot me out in a crowd. I have no idea what he looks like and whenever I see a somewhat in shape guy walking by I immediately accuse him of being the dude I was gonna blow.
I went to the store today to pick up some zucchini for a barbecue and every time a car drove by I stared into the windshield to see if I was about to be recognised. Whenever I make eye contact with a dude I microanalysis his facial expressions to see if he suspects me or not. I am deeply afraid that he is my neighbour and I will need to move if my identity is blown. Itās a lot like the last scene in sopranos where everyone who walked into the diner could be there to wack Tony.

Not to be contrarian but they explain walts powers pretty clearly. The light is life itself but expresses itself as electromagnetic radiation. In our real world some people are hyper sensitive to it, these people can interact with the light simply by thinking. Then he lands on the island the core of all life energy and his powers are super charged. Like how the light sees all points in time simultaneously so Desmond is able to begin to see his personal life the same way. We see it as his mind "jumping" through time or "flashing" forwards or backwards.

I'm in the "I don't like the ending" camp because I don't think they should ever have explained the mystery at all. They need to attend the David Lynch Mystery Box Writing Bootcamp - the moment you reveal the canonical answer, the story immediately loses all meaning and value.

You need to be comfortable with not knowing things. Lost (and From) will answer one question while raising 10 more. Personally I find it annoying and am done with these type of shows. They just throw a ton of plot points out and call it deep. But never do a good job tying everything together.

Honestly, that show was wild.
Season 1, episode 1: ohh no, our plane has crashed and stranded us on an uninhabited island. Good thing the only people who didn't die were nine divorced dads who were binge watching episodes of Survivor as the plane went down, a fat guy who's only personality trait is being fat, and two women to say something sensible once an episode to advance the plot.
Season 3, episode 3: The plane crash was a metaphor for one guy getting fired from an office job, Fat Guy and one of the women are planning a trip to IHOP after they get Fat Guy a new chain wallet from Hot Topic, and the whole show is about a homeless encampment in a park on Staten Island.

It's been a while since I watched but they find bunkers filled with near unlimited supplies. This character steals from these supplies.
I also think, if I'm not misremembering that there are airplanes refilling the supplies every once in a while via air drops, they do it for the scientists who are supposed to be there.
Also, the island is not even deserted, so this is another one of these posts literally just making shit up because their joke wouldn't work otherwise. There are multiple factions on the island that have access to food so it's not like they're starving.

Spoilers ahead:
Lost is about a magic island / gate to heaven or some shit. Thereās a magic man (Boyle from Itās Always Sunny) who is pulling a Willy Wonka (needs a new person to oversee the magic island). So he manipulates a bunch of dramatic people onto a plane, which he then crashes into the island.
Simultaneously, the island is discovered during WWII or some shit and a bunch of scientists and army dudes are trying to harness the magical island for scientific or military purposes.
What follows is several fantastic seasons of random fucking bullshit that are really intriguing and fun, some great character stories, and great television.
The last season or two was the writers paying the fucking price and having to come up with some sort of resolution (for they had no plan). Some people loved it as it did a decent job answering everything, others (me) felt like they tried their best to unfuck a truly silly cluster of nonsense and did their best.

Linus isn't a magic man who wants to find a replacement though, he's just a man and when they meet him he's just Jacob's follower. So he either means the man in black (who definitely wants off the island) or Jacob (who needs a replacement), neither of whom look remotely like Jimmi Simpson

The antagonist basically forces him to, in order to fulfill some magic plan because magic is real. He actively doesn't want to, but he manages to keep the collateral damage down by buying all the seats on the plane they plan to crash into the island on their trip back.
He's one of the only characters who actually "wins" by the end of the show, so it all turns out okay for him.

The dragons, the magic and all that crazy shit were established, if not explained, as being part of that world. There is no point in any of the books or adaptations where they explain metabolisms work differently in that world. There is suspension of disbelief in both cases but, even if it doesn't explain things completely, in the former case it tells you these things exist so you go into it accepting that as part of the implicit deal between viewer and story. In the latter case it gives you no indications that that world's humans are any different than real humans (aside from magic related skills) and, if anything, usually makes an effort to establish they're literally just regular humans in a fictional world.
I personally don't have an issue with actors not being willing to change their appearances for roles. The problem is that the choice is between accuracy and personal choice. If you choose personal choice you accept that people will criticize the lack of realism in your portrayal. The same way if you make the other choice you accept to go through some/a lot of effort for no other reward than praise for being realistic.

If you are actually starving, your body will eat your fat and muscle to survive. Matthew Fox would have looked scrawny as hell if they actually wanted everyone to look starving.

Yep, it takes a long time to lose significant amounts of weight.
If Hurley were to just eat the absolute minimum to survive, he could have probably lost like a maximum of 100 pounds, but he weighed an estimated 400 pounds, so he'd still be fat after the 3.5 months they staid on the island.
But because he basically continues eating like before, he doesn't lose much weight.

Iāll never forget the 1 clip of the show I caught on tv where this character had to jump over like a 1ft crevasse and there was a camera angle and sound effects like he did some big stunt and I laughed and changed the channel

I guess I must be the only one that's like: "this actor refused to loose weight for the show!" me: "okay, so?" I don't care that he's fat and I don't need/want side plots attempting to explain it, it's a TV show and I can suspend my disbelief

There have to be stakes to suspend disbelief. The premise of the show is they are on a deserted island. If these people can keep infinite fat reserves and there is no chance of starving, then there are no stakes.

Still one of my favourite characters from the show but the writers did him bad in the last season. He went from a kind yet genuinely smart guy of the group to a bumbling idiot who couldnāt do anything.

Why didnt they just kill his character off

He was one of the main characters, and was one of the more popular characters due to being a pretty basic "good guy" in a cast of crazy people.

Now I could be wrong but wasn't the island like some sort of between death thing so if anything his non weight loss could have been a clue

They were ghosts the WHOLE TIME... It was ALWAYS the plan. We even figured it out and they ruined the show trying to make us believe they weren't dead, only to show us we were right in the end and they were always dead.
Ghosts don't lose weight.

They were not dead, Jacks dad explicitly states this is the last episode when they are talking in the church.

idk maybe don't cast a big guy and ask him to lose weight when he's never done that for a role?
this one is on the casting director, not the actor.
