LOST is still my favorite show of all time.
-
No other TV show/movie like Lost...
-
the whole show from start to the end is talking about this yin yang thing good and bad light and darkness, faith and science, about people beliefs, always talking about the spiritual part of every individual, and yet people were upset about the ending, some people wish they were already dead and the island was a purgatory, i mean really? that would be a better finale? c'mon, the show has one of the best finales i ever watched, emotional AF and i'm not even a religious person eventhough i think the finale just beautiful, alot ppl took the finale as a meme and not even watched the show they just want to make the same joke, if you watched the whole thing you know the significance of each character in that finale. i can only feel sorry for ppl that whine about, because they weren't toched by meaning of it.

This show was and still is fantastic. It built up so well, propelling further into the roots of the mysteries and answering questions in ways both satisfying and also open enough to make you wonder and discuss ideas with friends. And the end? Beautiful. Sad. Nostalgic. It had it all.

Who else watched the ending of Game of Thrones and then changed their minds about the ending of Lost?

This is the second time I heard about eko's departure and how that gives more ideas for the Ben and (not in this video) Locke development. I always been curious about this original plan for some characters and enigmas; I'm not worry about answers they clearly don't have, but more about the things they actually did in the writers room and never told. In this topic, I asume Locke was going to have that desapointing and revenge arc over Jacob and eko was going to be the chosen by the man in black to possess.

I still dont get why people dislike the ending.... the overall theme of the show is Faith v Science and in the end (season 5 and onward) they made the choice that Faith was predominant over science as there were aspects of island that we were never meantt to fully understand. In the end only Jack and Hugo and Locke got to truely learn and understand the meaning of the island. We the audience (like the rest of the cast) were treated as if we were one of the names crossed off that werent worthy of knowing.

I loved the ending 🤗

The finale was great. Period.

I’m watching Lost for the second time. I have yet to find a show that sucks you in as strongly as Lost does. It’s the most binge worthy show I’ve ever seen. The 100 is the closest I’ve ever came. With that being said, I was someone that hated the last couple seasons and the ending. That’s why I want to go back and rewatch it. I’m much more open to multi universes, time travel and strange anomalies now , so I feel like I’ll appreciate it more now.

2:18 for mythos philosophy
-
lost should continue with new ideas for new generation its best show I have never seen before
-
It's gotta suck coming up with something like LOST and at the end of the day you don't own any of it, Disney does. lol
-
People still think LOST is fantasy. Little do they know, it's actually science fiction. Think about it
-
IF and only IF they could get the original cast together for what used to be called a 'mini series' I would love to see an offshoot dealing with their lives in the 'sideways' realm after they find each other, and what it would look like to experience living in peace as couples and as a group. Personally, I would not have hauled my ass off to the church quite so fast - but I'm assuming that they didn't and we're seeing a truncated version. Or, what happened to Kate, Sawyer, Claire, Miles and Frank when they got back. How do you explain it a second time with different people LoL.

I would love to be the guy who Disney hires to carry on the legacy of Lost! I love the show, was inspired by it, and believe I could write a satisfying sequel story that would work within the mythology, but also recontextualize the original series!
-
5 years later and still nothing. This video makes me sad. We want a continuation Disney!
-
Oh yeah! Who were the people on the outrigger??? I thought they'd answer that in the final season.
-
German serie "Dark" comes very close to it.

Wow. I appreciated this guy for talking about the show in a way that clicked for me. The other guy, Mr. Lindelof, had me confused and a bit repelled by his arrogance and saying he didn't care what viewers thought. This guy was kinder, allowing us to engage our own imaginations as part of the enjoyment! I like that better.
