I was thinking the same thing. Have been bored of it after the first 4 episodes and stopped watching though. Pretty big coincidence if they used an actor from lost, a show from over a decade ago with a similar thing going on, if it wasn't meant as at least a nod to lost
no. all the mysteries are solved. if you mean something in its world, yes, you could make dramas about the various points in time of other groups on the island, but it would not have a central mystery that would actually be entertaining when all the answers are already there.
what might be fun is just making some other show and have the twist be that its somehow connected to the universe
This, it was mostly about figuring out who "the others" were, the hatch and Dharma. All of that was shown, theres nothing left to show. They went back as far back as slave ships and jacob and apparently nothing of note happened between then and dharma so a prequel is out of tje question unless you go pre-america times
there are still stories able to be told, but every aspect of the island that people could conceivably have knowledge of has already been mined and/or destroyed

>the others have no continuous legacy except their devotion to one man and regularly get entirely destroyed, with the current group only having started in the mid-1800s
what a mistake
just canonize the apollo hatch theory and go off from there
wild theory on one of the fan sites during season 2, basically the swan was dharma's prison for the god apollo, the immortal guardian of the island >swan is a symbol of apollo >arrow of apollo >staff comes from the son of apollo >apollo bars in the hatch >apollo born on the mythical moving island of delos
some versions had the true identity being a time traveling aaron, the theory was so well done that i bet the writers stole the concept for jacob
it's really no stupider than seasons 5 and 6
jacob should never have been an essential character for the main cast to blindly follow and we're asked to care about the villain because of the actor who plays him
[...]
my favorite one was the theory that the smoke monster was a flying machine emitting exhaust and that the hatch was a dead smoke monster
this sounds absolutely wild
it's obvious the plans for jacob changed massively between seasons 3 and 4, as well as those for the smoke monster a little later

the idea of the smoke monster basically changes to something else every season. s1 it's an artificial "security system," s2 it's some sort of soul-judging divine spirit, s3 it's treated like a natural phenomenon you can control with high-tech fences, s4 he's a fantasy monster you summon via an ancient ruin and so on. when they eventually try to make it a character they've already tried and discarded so many ideas there's no way for it to be coherent.

Russo is the only one who though it is a security system, and the man in black told her that anyway. "Soul judging" can only be related to ekko and that was part of his manipulation

>Russo is the only one who though it is a security system
no, the writers actually thought it would be. it's in that leaked internal document. the changes in the monster do not represent the changing perspective of the characters, they represent the writers actually changing their mind and writing it differently each season, which is why nothing it does ultimately makes any kind of sense. if you actually think that while writing the first season they were like "russo thinks it's a security system but it's actually an ancient wizard's angry brother that fell into a magic hole and is now trying to incarnate himself into a corpse so he can escape the island" then i have a bridge to sell you

I wouldn't lean on this, they didn't even know what would be in the hatch, or even the length of the first season. And then the length of the show itself which explains most of its flaws, I just wanted them to dig into the dharma stuff instead of a well with a cork that sinks the island
that honestly sounds better than the terrible flashback episode about jacob and his brother and their crazy fake mom. at least if they tied it to real mythology it wouldn't be so creatively barren
Not that anon, but every time I talk to someone who talks like you do, they still think the polar bears were a mystery. Can you give me a list of your questions? Most of the time, things were just answered poorly, but they gave an answer.
The only thing the epilogue answered was "where did the food come from"? Which is a fair thing to complain about, but the rest was stuff you could figure out from watching the show.
they could only send things a few minutes into the future by tapping into the wheel, they didn't have past time travel or anything useful. the video says it'd only work on the island too, due to the energy being localized there
The fact that its not exactly practical wouldn't disappoint a bunch of scientists that discovered time travel. And about the wheel >i'm gonna build a well and a wheel to leave the island >how do you know it's gonna work? >i'm special
That was horrible too
the fandom's insistence on discussing the show by means of its marketing slogans ("questions will be answered" etc) is stupid and misleading. nobody actually cares, it's misdirection. nobody's experience of the show was improved by some 30 second exchange a couple of hours before the end where hurley goes "so i guess those voices were trapped souls or whatever." that's awful, it's basically the show admitting that hours and hours of its runtime didn't matter and were just purposefully wasting your time.
No. The show ends pretty definitively. A prequel could work, in theory, but you and I both know it would be dogshit, and I'd rather it be *one* great series that just gets left the frick alone.
>Um you didnt play the website game during the early internet to learn the meaning of the numbers?!?! Guess you deserve to be clueless about whats happening in this completely separate tv show.
How is this show viewed positively. JJAdams is a hack.
>Implying any of the shitty ARG games gave answers to anything
They even pulled the plug on the new Dharma Initiative one not even a quarter of the way through.
it's not one continuous culture, in ab aeterno jacob explicitly tells richard that MIB clearss the entire island out of frustration after every cycle and that richard is the first member of the current iteration of island inhabitants
the universe of the show is broken to the point where historical flashbacks have zero impact on the original series
maybe or julie, or someone new we never got because they settled on Ben

did another re-watch 2 years ago its still pretty fresh, probably do another one next year, and if you do that to alex you lose the absolute kino scene with Eggs were ben for once realizes he really fricked up
lindelof doesn't like explaining things he let an intern write the penultimate episode that of the two brothers also he was a fan of the end of sporanos david chase even made a cameo
this doesn't need a sequel, it needs a remake. do a tight 30-40 episode hbo version where the writers actually know what the point is from day one and it would be great. just slash half the characters and all the plotlines that go nowhere, which is most of them.
I think it could. The issue is that a new series would do a memberberry show instead of something new.
You can do something like the cube/saw/silent hill setup, a new group of survivors crash on the island and shananigans ensue. We start with knowledge of the previous series so on some level we now more of the characters inside the show, but they could descover new lore that can surprise even us.
yes
>Found
kino. film it.
The leftovers is Lost done right
leftovers is just more lost
its kino but it doesnt have as much soul as lost

it sorta works

Are you disagreeing with me? Because I'm with you, I hated the whispers' explanations in particular.
They tried. It was called Severance.

>I'd rather it be *one* great series
we all would've preferred lost to be something other than shit
a short 6 ep sequel to new man in charge could work
would mostly be fan-servicey though
not sure theres another great story in there

Lost is a very good show especially for moments like when Jack makes custom glasses for Sawyer by using two halves from the luggage.
