**OFFICIAL** LOST Topic

10 years ago tonight was the worst wrap up of all time to the best series of all time.

 

GoT blew this out of the water

 

True

 

I’d watch the final 2 seasons of GoT 10x before I watch the final 2 seasons of Lost. I’d say the last 1/2 of GoT final season were much worse than the last 1/2 of Lost final season though

Seasons 1-4 of Lost were amazing. They could have left it with half leaving and half staying and been been just fine.

 

I loved the ending and cried a lot.

 

lost ending was great

I refuse to believe any real fans who stayed with the show didnt like it

it's usually people who gave up on the show then came back just for the finale who don't like it

 

I get why people didn’t like the ending but I loved it. I’ve only done 1 rewatch and it wasn’t too long after it ended.

I’m sure it doesn’t hold up as well. It had a lot of things working against it. However it’s one of my favorite shows.

 

I'm in the minority that still enjoyed everything up until the post-night king episodes of GoT.

And I was very heavily invested in Lost - pre-TMB I participated in discussions elsewhere online for the first few seasons and loved spinning theories more than the True Detective/Westworld Season 1 threads on here.
Once they started with the island moving locations, skipping around through time, and the flash-fowards in general - I got soured. jack vs. locke and eventually jack vs. locke vs. linus were top tier and their character development in the first 4 seasons was great to watch. Then the island turned into Sci-Fi space camp and also Junkie Jack didn't do it for me.

Plus the entire time we were watching the final season, everyone knew exactly what we were watching and the writers in every interview were all "no we promise it's something else" and then the finale happens and it was like "we got you guys didn't we!"

 

And as far as the one-off episodes that give a heartfelt backstory to a non-main character - Desmond&Penny flashback episode is still one of my favorites of all time

 

I never watched it when it came on but have watched some of it when it was on Netflix and now Hulu. I find it a chore to watch when the time travel stuff starts to dominate the story in season five. Still haven’t finished it because of that.

 

Part of the Lost experience was talking about it on a weekly basis and sharing theories and picking up on all of the Easter eggs. I enjoyed watching it again, but the experience of it being a weekly show to read about and digest made it more than one dimensional as a piece of entertainment. It would be hard to recapture that now.

 

“Big fan” doesn’t even know it’s called the constant

smh my head

 

I don’t really care that much about doing that for TV shows so wouldn’t have made any difference to me. I just like to enjoy the ride.

 

I was a big fan of it for lost for the first few seasons.

Then some dip shit on the rivals mainboard read spoilers and tried to pass off some wild random shit as their own theory that ended up coming true and I stopped talking about it and just sat back and watched it.

 

Disgraceful to not know that. One of the greatest hours in the history of scripted television.

 

Your opinion STINKS!

 

I could definitely see myself growing to hate this show if I had watched it live because seemingly every fucking episode ended on a cliffhanger of some sort, though I haven’t finished season five yet

 

I lived on the darkUFO site during Lost. they had some really good people who would write reviews. picked up so many details.

 

I started a rewatch before quarantine and got about halfway through season 4 and just haven't watched it in a month or so.

I'll probably just skip to season six and do that

 

Watching seasons five and six live must have sucked because on streaming this is just bad TV

 

Loved j woods recaps

 

This brings back some memories.

Good times.

1) The Constant
2) Greatest Hits
3) Through the Looking Glass

 

Thread bump made me start a rewatch

 

Arzt blowing himself up always gets a chuckle out of me.

 

Some interesting stuff I wasn't aware of

 

You may have been to Phuket, Doc, but I've been to Tallahassee.

 

Wouldn't have had The Constant if it had ended after three though. Last two season were bad, and season 4 for the most part was a far cry from the first three.

 

Seasons 4-6 were good. Seasons 1-6 were great.

 

Seasons 1-3 were phenomenal

 

mid season 3 was the low point of the show

that's the nikki paulo nonsense

 

and that’s the stuff we don’t get if they agree to only four seasons. very good chance we still get The Constant.

 

ah, that first flash forward

 

just finished a rewatch in less than 2 weeks

yes, i have no life

 

Doing a rewatch. Early in the second season now.

 

Just got to the shootout in the canoes

 

just saw the actress who played Rousseau died a couple days ago. rip.

 

JIN LIVES!!!!!!!!!!

 

Of West Nile Virus what the fuck

 

I will never have a connection with a tv show like the one I had with this one.

Man, I miss the days of pissing away time at my entry level job reading theories on DarkUFO.

 

Just hearing that song pulls at my heart strings

 

I miss communing with some of you every week when a new episode came out. We were some hyper-nerds
