Do you think we'll ever get a TV show as hype as S1 of Lost ever again?
There’s two Jacks
No. Everyone involved with Lost and the criticism it got took it to mean that we no longer wanted original ideas, and so they all went on to write capeshit and make remakes.
wrong they coped by making everything about "muh characters" and "muh issues" and didn't learn you need to have an idea where you're going from the beginning.
There will be lots of woke shows with hype.
They won’t be watchable
After Rings of Flop television will never be the same. Goodbye to high budget productions. At least we have succession and bcs coming shortly
>most of cast is white
>lead male is straight, white and handsome
>lead female is straight, white and beautiful
>no trannies
>no homosexuals
a very problematic show like that must never be allowed to happen again
If LOST was made today, the first job of the survivors wouldn't be to find food, water and shelter, but it would be to build a dilation station. Also, the survivors would be more traumatized by Sawyer's casual racism and sexism than they would be by the plane crash. They would never give a character like that a redemption arc. He would be a one-dimensional villain throughout.
Also, the love triangle between Jack, Kate and Sawyer would either be changed to be between Kate and 2 black men or be made into some kind of gay/bisexual thing.
But there were a few important black dudes, the second most important couple was Korean and one of the ten most important characters were Arabic and Latin American. I think it's more diverse than a lot of shows right now, while actually being as such for a reason.
it was pre-woke liberal, it had minorities but they were there for reasons of logic (it's a flight from sydney to la) and weren't given special deity-like status
it was diverse, but in the '90s/'00s meaning of the word
If you think about it, most of the minorities got brutal deaths.
Mr Eko got mauled by the smoke monster. Michael became suicidal and blew up on the freighter. Jin & Sun drowned to death. Sayid literally died by suicide bomb, which is fricking hilarious.
Only Rose and Miles survived.
Hurley too, I suppose. Tbf, there weren't a lot of survivors.
Kate, Sawyer, Lapidus, Hurley, Ben, Walt (obviously), Claire, Miles, Rose and Bernard... Am I missing someone?
aaron, richard, vincent, cindy and the kids (presumably, maybe some other tailies we didn't know)
Mr Eko was supposed to be the Man in Black but he left the show and they changed it to Locke

pick one
No. The hype and anticipation for LOST took place on an internet that no longer exists. It was genuine. Everything nowadays is astroturfed and contrived.
Came to say this. The internet was nowhere near as big as it is now and social media was a pipe dream, MySpace was barely a year old.
Nowadays shit goes by way too fast. An excess of information and content available at the touch of a button means that we don't get hype for stuff as much. "The next big thing" comes out every 2 months at this rate. There's no mystery because millions of people are busy in threads theorycrafting and everyone can rewatch episodes willy nilly. No more switching the channels and suddenly encountering a promo for this brand new series that catches your eye, instead here's a 15 seconds ad for it while you're doomscrolling or browsing youtube.
I'd say Lost actually marked the end of that era, once it was over it was the time for the social media era of series
He was dead the whole time and it was just a dying dream. I hate this.
no he wasn't, moron
Then what was it
the "dying dream" was only the flash sideways in the last season (the parts that seemed like an alternate reality where the plane never crashed)
everything else in the show really happened
they explicitly explain this, dumb ass
It’s amazing how people couldn’t understand the plot even when the characters spell it out very directly in the last episode
Game of Thrones but that didn't really become a mainstream phenomenon until the later seasons when it had already gone to shit.
I never watched LOST until after it aired. It's one of the biggest regrets in my life that I never got to experience the whole fandom at its peak and all the theorizing etc.
Having said that, there's a chance that I wouldn't like the show as much as I do now if I had watched it live and not binged it.
you really missed out
the official message board "thefuselage" was kino af
no. culture is too fragmented now for that kind of universal obsession. and the show itself was kind of a strange accident that would not happen in a modern corporate environment.
Before the days of binging Netflix they did a great job of hooking people in with the pilot. A lot of shows in that era were social events, was a good time to watch TV and talk about it with friends. Between Lost and the Matrix it was fun to theorycraft, now people just go to Reddit and read the most updooted answer or the "10 things you missed in Stranger Things" listicle from Buzzfeed and that's it.
>between Lost and the Matrix
larping zoomer, those two things happened five years apart
he's presumably talking about the sequels, which is where "theorycrafting" would have been more appropriate.
THERE WILL NEVER BE A TELEVISION PROGRAM THAT IS BETTER THAN «L O S T».
It was called Game of Thrones
Well, they were all dead from the start, that is why it all began with Jacks eye hole. The camera pulls out from Jacks Eye, to the last scene of the last episode, goes back to Jacks eye and zooms in, and he finally dies. The whole series happens within a span of a few minutes, but obviously during the last minutes of a mans life, with his life flashing before his eye holes.
you're a fricking moron
found the troony. I suppose you believe it all really happened. No, it was in jacks head. Deal with it. You will never be a real woman, you will never find happiness. Your birth name will be used on your tombstone after you kys.
you're a fricking moron
No but I really liked the idea that the smoke monster was somehow involved with saving Jack or being in that place and that's why his pupil "contracted" the smoke monster was leaving him and Jack shrugged it off as seeing things as a result of the trauma from the crash.
This shit fell apart after season 2
Nope. I actually think season 2 is one of the weakest seasons.
For me it's:
3 > 1 > 5 >>>> 2 = 4 = 6
I struggle to put those bottom seasons in order. 2 has some amazing stuff, but also large stretches of mediocre, middling episodes and the worst episode of the show in 'Fire + Water'. Also, the tailies don't really amount to much in the long run of the show. Also, I think the season 2 finale might be the weakest one overall, though it's still great.
Season 4 is a lot of fun but I feel like it's too fast-paced. It's almost over before it began. There's not enough room to breathe. And there aren't really that many great episodes outside of The Constant, The Shape of Things to Come and the finale.
Season 6 gets a lot of hate and there's tons of stuff I don't like about it, but I actually really enjoy the flash-sideways. Some great character moments. Also, the finale is fricking excellent and Ab Aeterno is also in season 6 which is one of the best episodes of the show. So whilst season 5 has some low lows, its highs are some of the highest out of any season.
Don't know, why I'm telling you though. If you didn't like the end of season 3, then you have objectively shit taste.
For me the best part of lost was how racist and homophobic it was for TV at that time. Who would have guessed TV could be so racist? The only blacks on the show got voted off the show by the other losties. The rumor going around the set was they stunk really bad and stole all the back lot bicycles. They also didn't have a decent story that made any sense. They showed reverse reality- a black child with a black dad instead of only a black mother. A black dad that wanted to be involved in his black sons life (not at all a reality in the real world, it was obvious the writers were making fun of the black community, especially at that time, all blacks on tv and in movies, had to be magical, so the kid had magical powers that turned him into a giant magnet... The black dad turns on the losties to get him and his son off the island, so they end up shooting up all the white people. The only gun crimes on the island, gun murders, done by blacks. Another racist take on the real world statistics of gun crimes in the US. The only homosexual on the island was in the closet, (guy with the beard with the "others", "others" as in, the LGBT community. Homophobia of course. He and his boyfriend live in the closet in the real world away from the island, where they are the stereotypical gays- that go antiquing, have really good taste and can decorate apartments. They have obvious an eye for clothes like the stereotypical homosexuals. Lost was guilty of being such a racist and homophobic show, I don't know how liberals watched it at the time.
this is a very silly take on the show wearing 2022 clown world glasses, anon
Did you need an /s maybe to understand his post?
just in case you forget how moronic some anons are, there are people here who think "they were dead the whole time"
fricking hell...
