>No, JJ Abrams wrote it and fricked everything up.
No he didn't. All he did was direct the pilot and one other episode, and pitched in with a few storyline ideas early on. But the vast majority of the show was the brainchild of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse.
If anything, you should be thanking JJ Abrams if you are one of those people who loved the pilot but didn't like the direction the show went in.
>There's a reason nobody talks about that show anymore.
The show ended in 2010 and came out before social media was even a thing and yet go look at the subreddit for LOST and also check out the archive on this site to see how many LOST threads there have been in the past year. Compared to other shows of that time period, it still has a highly active fanbase, and also tons of first time viewers discovered it during the pandemic.
>Social media had already been a thing for years, underaged homosexual.
What, fricking Myspace? No one used Myspace to discuss stuff like they do now with Twitter. And Twitter back then was totally different. People just used to post random shit like what they were eating for dinner. Hardly anyone was on it.
>the vast majority of the show was the brainchild of Damon Lindelof
Which is why it's shit, just like Prometheus. Lindeloops is a fricking hack who turns everything he touches into garbage.

Most people don't talk about any 20 year old shows unless they're going on a nostalgia trip. Like when I feel like watching Ed Edd n Eddy or Tom & Jerry.
Yes. The idiom "going off the rails" defines this show by the end of its run, but the first few seasons are great television. Many good reasons why it became a hit in the first place
No, watching the show in real time and having water cooler discussions with coworkers, friends, family, Cinemaphile, etc about all your latest theories is like 75% of the enjoyment of LOST. It doesn't hold up just watching straight through in 2022 by yourself.
There are lots of great shows worth watching alone. LOST isn't one of them, because it's not a great show and the primary thing that's interesting about it is developing and sharing theories over the course of several years. As an actual show it's just not very good.
No, watching the show in real time and having water cooler discussions with coworkers, friends, family, Cinemaphile, etc about all your latest theories is like 75% of the enjoyment of LOST. It doesn't hold up just watching straight through in 2022 by yourself.
I didn't watch it until years after it had finished and I watched it completely alone with no one to discuss it with and I loved every moment. When I watched it for the first time (around about 2015), LOST was at a low point in terms of popularity and online presence.
Now is a much better time to start the show. There are dozens and dozens of LOST rewatch podcasts, videos about it on youtube including a great channel called "LOST Explained" which explains every aspect of the show in detail, tons of reaction channels, retrospective essays and articles on various sites about it, and a highly active subreddit where you can mark your post as "first time viewer" and get people to discuss the show with you spoiler-free.
I would say so. My husband and I are watching right now. I’ve seen the complete series and he hasn’t. It’s been fun revisiting it. The hype though was around theories people would craft, like this one site that reviewed each episode and talked about theories and clues. Can’t remember the name.

So, yeah. I'm thinking it's worth watching. Just be prepared to suspend your disbelief and don't get too bogged down in needing for everything to make complete, logical scientific sense. Focus on the characters and enjoy the ride.
If you have a kind of super-logical engineering type brain and are not someone who connects to characters emotionally very well then it probably isn't the show for you, though you may still enjoy aspects of it.
I know it was jarring that LOST seemed to set itself up as a sci-fi show and then pivoted in season 6 to some kind of fantasy/magical realism ending, but I think it worked even though some of the stuff with Jacob/MIB wasn't great.
There was nothing religious about the ending you pleb. Them being at a church was not symbolic of anything other than faith. Not faith in religion, you fricking moron. Faith in each other.

You can do mystery box but you need to keep it short and sweet, three seasons max. Dark understood this, so did The Leftovers.
I don't think Dark was very good but The Leftovers was fantastic. Dark's aesthetics just didn't do it for me. But if Dark or Leftovers was 6 seasons long it would have been unbearable.

A mystery box show is something built around mysteries with no actual resolution. They clearly had all three seasons of dark planned out, also structured in a way that it could end after one or two.

no.
aside from the epic and amazing first epsiode it quickly devolved into huge plotholes and ridiculousness.
I mean, someone is kidnapping the survivors... but let's focus on other shit ...for...some reason?
I know it's probably the weakest season, but season 6 actually improved a lot for me on rewatch.
There are a few dud episodes here and there, and some of it is kind of a slog to get through, particularly the first half. But there is way more great stuff than I remembered there being from my first watch. Pic related is probably a top 10 episode for me, and also the finale just gets better and better every time I watch it.
And even in the worst episodes such as What Kate Does, there are some great scenes. The scene with Sawyer and Kate on the dock, for example is excellent and moving. Josh Holloway absolutely nails it.
cope would be me trying to justify why I wasted 5 years with this trash, like you.
actualization is coming to understand that I wasted 5 years with this trash and I will never get them back
I dont think about Lost. Someone asked if it was worth watching it. It may be, if you can binge it, and realize everything shown on screen is completely meaningless. Just don't waste 5 years on it like I did.

i'll never be sawyer though. just like i'll always be freddie and not cook.
Watching L O S T as you get older gives you more perspective on characters. First watch I wasn’t married or had any kids. Rewatching it now makes you sympathize with a lot more characters. Except Shannon she’s super annoying.
Still on season 1 and I’ve forgotten a lot lol. I’m sure I’ll think differently once I’m there.
Watching it as you get older makes so much of the show hit way closer to home. Now that my parents are getting older and are in their 60s and not in the best of health, the scene in the finale with Jack and Christian absolutely floored me because it made me realise how little time I have left with my parents and to cherish it.
It sounds so corny and simplistic, but when you're a teen or early 20's, you really can't see that far ahead. You feel like things will be the same forever.
I’m sure it’ll get me too when I get there. I’m almost 40 and I remember watching the finale in my early 20’s. It’s quite different now compared to then. You’re right it seemed like nothing was going to change back then but now we’re living life and you start to see your parents in a different light.
I hated Shannon at the beginning of my rewatch, she was a useless annoying boring vapid waste of screen presence for the first half of the first season but she comes into her own around the time shortly before Boone dies.

Yep. Mysterious things with no actual mystery. Bait for people to speculate over. LOST fans are too dumb to figure out the writers didn't actually have an explanation for anything when they wrote it.
It was made worse by how abrams and lindelof would get up in front of comicon every year and act like they had a plan. Until the end, then suddenly it was only ever about the characters.
She didn’t agree with the vaccine, walked it back because it was soon after lockdowns in 2020 and then went to another protest last year kek so she appears to be based still.
Make of this what you will, but Lost is one of those shows that I genuinely get jealous of others who get to experience it for the first time. It's one of those shows that if it clicks with you, it will be *really* click and be with you for the rest of your life.
It's not a perfect show, and there are aspects of it that would be improved were it made today for some streaming service instead of on a major network where they just needed 20+ episodes a season to fill time. But when LOST is at its best, there is simply nothing else like it that is comparable.
So yes, if I were you I would move Lost to near the top of your shows to watch list.
For it to "click" you have to be too dumb to recognize the writers didn't have any explanation for anything. Then you spend a bunch of effort imagining something that's not there, like a child seeing faces in foliage.
It's fun right up until you figure out the gimmick.
The ending and last season leading up to it is why there’s only a few literal morons still acting like the show wasn’t a completely worthless waste of time.
Do you like Evangelion or other shows where creators write themselves into a corner and then have to end the show in open-ended ways so that YOU have to do the work of defending the plot?
How was EoE open ended? Hell, even 25-26 weren’t even open ended, it was just abstract and not animated as a ploy to get money to make a proper ending.
EoE is ok, but everything made afterwards is geared towards the deepgays who enjoyed the anime ending, and they're still milking the fanbase.
In 2020 my old classmate came to me and said: "It's been 10 years, I am ready to accept that Lost's ending was terrible", he used to be one of the fanboys in denial back then.
Meh ok, looks like all the fans left and all we have left are stinky haters. Makes sense, most fans are probably busy with their wives and children as haters are just picking their rancid buttholes.
The problem was mostly how the explanation for everything it the last season was >it’s all magic this is a fantasy show now oh look, another kate episode is next!
Literally one of, if not the greatest shows of all time.
>Watch for the mysteries
You might ultimately be disappointed in where the shows goes but it's nowhere near as bad as some of the morons in this thread would have you believe. The idea that they just wrote themselves into a corner and that nothing gets explained or makes any sense is just complete BS frankly. Most of the mysteries get explained eventually, make logical sense for the most part, and are satisfying and entertaining.
>Even the ones that start off good, they continually “subvert” to keep the audience guessing.
Eh, this just isn't true at all. You must have been watching a totally different show. I mean, some of them have some weak arcs here and there such as the dark Charlie arc in season 2. But the vast majority of the characters have highly logical character progression over the course of the show.
If I'm remembering right I think the orchid? Whichever one where the *actual* purpose of the station was underground and featured a testing chamber that goes nuts if you put metal in it. I wish we were able to see the arrow when it was still operational though. We only see it when its stripped of virtually everything.
>used to watch episodes with my mom every week (for some of the seasons) >she always predicted it was religious related >finally watched it all the way through recently >she was right the whole time >mfw
To this day I'm conflicted about Michael. When it comes down to it though, yeah. Absolute sympathy.. but unforgiven. There was always a better way; he took risks in hurting his friends at every turn, but never took the risk of trusting them and finding that better way, on his own terms and not the others.
i did, started in 2021 and finished earlier this year
it was worth it but i right now it's too soon, also i'd like to watch it with someone else who has never seen it before
It's as if he stopped watching after season 2 and tuned back into the series finale for "answers" he'd lack the context to understand anyway without any investment in the years' worth of character development (which was ultimately far more important than LE MISTEREE ever was to begin with) and no understanding of how many plot threads actually had been solved by that point. We had a good Lost thread the other night at least and I'm glad I was here for that one.
Most people said it was a dogshit episode, and yes the flashbacks and the tattoo aspects are pretty fricking uninteresting, but I was invested enough in Jack staying behind, the aftermath of Juliet killing one of her own and Ben's operation that I didn't find myself bored
Also seeing them beat the crap out of Jack at the beach was pretty funny
The best thing about rewatching Lost (or even watching it for the first time) in binge format is that the bad episodes are far more forgivable because you don't need to wait weeks at a time for another good one. For instance, Stranger in a Strange Land is immediately followed by Tricia Tanaka is Dead which I've always viewed as a Season 3 highlight.
Nah, never watched it or wanted to. From what I remember, when the show reached its later seasons all anyone could talk about was how dumb it had gotten. Like GoT but 15 years earlier.
>Nah, never watched it or wanted to. From what I remember, when the show reached its later seasons all anyone could talk about was how dumb it had gotten. Like GoT but 15 years earlier.
Massive fan of both GoT and Lost and I can say with absolute confidence that GoT had a way *WAY* worse decline in quality. Lost just got weirder, more convoluted and harder to follow for your average normie. It started out as a basic survival-type show and gradually became full-blown sci-fi and in it's final season it veered into almost bordering on magic realism. Your average normie who just wanted "answers" got filtered hard.
It had excellent character development, right up to and including the final episode, whereas GoT absolutely fricking assassinated almost every single goddamn character in service of its rushed plot.
I love women so much bros
I’m deathly afraid of them but they’re great yeah
Certainly fun to play with that's for sure.
I guess the ending in Season 1.
Still enjoyed the ride though.

Pic related is probably a top 10 episode for me, and also the finale just gets better and better every time I watch it.
And even in the worst episodes such as What Kate Does, there are some great scenes. The scene with Sawyer and Kate on the dock, for example is excellent and moving. Josh Holloway absolutely nails it.
Yes just realize some will have you believe 40+ people survived a catastrophic airplane crash onto an invisible island.

And?
Oh, you were being serious about the show with a monster suspending your disbelief, I'm sorry anon I wasn't aware you had profound mental moronation
no
i wasted 5 years with this trash
cope
cope would be me trying to justify why I wasted 5 years with this trash, like you.
actualization is coming to understand that I wasted 5 years with this trash and I will never get them back
No, what you need to do is cope to deal with the unhealthy obsession and anger you have against an 18 year old show.
Cope.
I dont think about Lost. Someone asked if it was worth watching it. It may be, if you can binge it, and realize everything shown on screen is completely meaningless. Just don't waste 5 years on it like I did.
>I dont think about Lost.
No, you just post on threads about it many many times
I watched it for the first time in April and it was okay.
Yes, I just finished it last month.
No it's time to rewatch MAD MEN.
this proves it's not a kino if it doesn't have hot big titty women in it
Now your getting it.
You're all wrong. It's time to rewatch Halt and Catch Fire.
Feels like nobody else watched that
mad men has no plot and only a slight pretense of conflict in the early seasons. it's like watching a larp of the 50s for no reason other than to be self masturbatory
Did they expand her breasts with photoshop?
I love Tauriel so much.
yikes
?
She's aging well. The short hair is not great, but she still pulls it off.
>sometimes i might be wearing a strap-on
Looks great for 64.
She could grow her hair back at any time and her body is still a 9/10
It is the short hair, looks awful on her.
i think it's on hulu which i have. i might do a rewatch too.
I did my second watch in 2017. I’m putting off the next watch for at least a couple more years. The longer you put it off the sweeter it is
fav episode? for me it's "The Constant".
PENNEH? IS THA' RLY YUU??
Penneh mah luv

>hangin with (then) gf and her roommates
>always go to her place on Wednesday to watch L O S T
>she says i look like jack
>still wear that badge of honor
i'll never be sawyer though. just like i'll always be freddie and not cook.
Watching L O S T as you get older gives you more perspective on characters. First watch I wasn’t married or had any kids. Rewatching it now makes you sympathize with a lot more characters. Except Shannon she’s super annoying.
Shannon's underrated, I sympathize with her
Still on season 1 and I’ve forgotten a lot lol. I’m sure I’ll think differently once I’m there.
I’m sure it’ll get me too when I get there. I’m almost 40 and I remember watching the finale in my early 20’s. It’s quite different now compared to then. You’re right it seemed like nothing was going to change back then but now we’re living life and you start to see your parents in a different light.
I hated Shannon at the beginning of my rewatch, she was a useless annoying boring vapid waste of screen presence for the first half of the first season but she comes into her own around the time shortly before Boone dies.
Watching it as you get older makes so much of the show hit way closer to home. Now that my parents are getting older and are in their 60s and not in the best of health, the scene in the finale with Jack and Christian absolutely floored me because it made me realise how little time I have left with my parents and to cherish it.
It sounds so corny and simplistic, but when you're a teen or early 20's, you really can't see that far ahead. You feel like things will be the same forever.
I didn't have console or cable tv. I was only allowed on the computer for an hour. I don't want to go back.
Whatever you do, DON'T look up pictures of what she looks like now. Bros.... it will destroy you. Just re-watch LOST.
she looks fantastic still. frick off.
>she looks fantastic still. frick off.
doesnt look aged much just has a weird lezbo hair style now. go back put a long dark wig on her and she'd look almost the same
Frick LOST. Stupid fricking series without any payoff.
Yep. Mysterious things with no actual mystery. Bait for people to speculate over. LOST fans are too dumb to figure out the writers didn't actually have an explanation for anything when they wrote it.
It was made worse by how abrams and lindelof would get up in front of comicon every year and act like they had a plan. Until the end, then suddenly it was only ever about the characters.
Already on it - currently season 2 episode 19. I started few days ago. It's so good.
First time viewer?
Stay away from threads like this. Tons of crazy shit happens in later seasons that you could easily get spoiled on.
Nah man, watched it back then. I miss the livestreams here.
didnt she come out as a lady chud in recent times? cant remember what she did or said but twitter trannies and SJW types all hate her now
She didn’t agree with the vaccine, walked it back because it was soon after lockdowns in 2020 and then went to another protest last year kek so she appears to be based still.
I would rather get Lost for real
the fake teeth really tie the whole cavewoman look together
do you think israelite israelite Abrams fricked her butthole?
>watching it even the one (once) time
hah
She must be a real fricking nutjob if this is all they could think of to talk about on the show
dyke chic
they had to take a year off to figure out WTF was going on with the "plot"
So many shows in my backlog, should I make Lost one of them?
Make of this what you will, but Lost is one of those shows that I genuinely get jealous of others who get to experience it for the first time. It's one of those shows that if it clicks with you, it will be *really* click and be with you for the rest of your life.
It's not a perfect show, and there are aspects of it that would be improved were it made today for some streaming service instead of on a major network where they just needed 20+ episodes a season to fill time. But when LOST is at its best, there is simply nothing else like it that is comparable.
So yes, if I were you I would move Lost to near the top of your shows to watch list.
BAAAAAASED
Oh yeah I LOVED Yunjin Kim, she would catch tons of my cum whenever I was bored of Evangeline and Maggie Grace.
Not a cell phone in sight. Just people living in the moment...
For it to "click" you have to be too dumb to recognize the writers didn't have any explanation for anything. Then you spend a bunch of effort imagining something that's not there, like a child seeing faces in foliage.
It's fun right up until you figure out the gimmick.
Seeing something that isnt there? What kind of like you homosexuals who believe in God and Christ?
She’d actually be hot if she had them photoshopped breasts
LOST sucks it was always for coomers and midwits
can't believe my brother suckered me into watching this shit.
Cinemaphile needs to do rewatches of tv shows like Cinemaphile does storytimes.
>Cinemaphile needs to Cinemaphile
no, anything Cinemaphile does should be instruction on what not to do. frick that board.
literally the least normalgay board on this entire website.
>least fun board
>intense, almost inhuman levels of moderation
>can literally get banned for posting on-topic
that board is a joke
Maybe uou need to have sex.
LOST is the Attack on Titan of American television.
The ending stuck the landing unlock AoT which bombed hard.
The ending and last season leading up to it is why there’s only a few literal morons still acting like the show wasn’t a completely worthless waste of time.
Were her breasts always that big huminahumina
No, it’s shopped
Do you like Evangelion or other shows where creators write themselves into a corner and then have to end the show in open-ended ways so that YOU have to do the work of defending the plot?
If so, watch Lost.
How was EoE open ended? Hell, even 25-26 weren’t even open ended, it was just abstract and not animated as a ploy to get money to make a proper ending.
EoE is ok, but everything made afterwards is geared towards the deepgays who enjoyed the anime ending, and they're still milking the fanbase.
In 2020 my old classmate came to me and said: "It's been 10 years, I am ready to accept that Lost's ending was terrible", he used to be one of the fanboys in denial back then.
Your old classmate sucks dicks
>everything made afterwards
You mean that shit no one wanted or watches?
Fine, ignore the point being made.
LOST is like an IQ test. The longer it took you to drop it the dumber you are. I dropped it at the start of season 2.
Meh ok, looks like all the fans left and all we have left are stinky haters. Makes sense, most fans are probably busy with their wives and children as haters are just picking their rancid buttholes.
Why are you posting like you’re a teenage girl who just discovered Taylor swift?
The problem was mostly how the explanation for everything it the last season was
>it’s all magic this is a fantasy show now oh look, another kate episode is next!
>Watch for the characters
Literally one of, if not the greatest shows of all time.
>Watch for the mysteries
You might ultimately be disappointed in where the shows goes but it's nowhere near as bad as some of the morons in this thread would have you believe. The idea that they just wrote themselves into a corner and that nothing gets explained or makes any sense is just complete BS frankly. Most of the mysteries get explained eventually, make logical sense for the most part, and are satisfying and entertaining.
Bruh the characters are garbage. Even the ones that start off good, they continually “subvert” to keep the audience guessing.
>Even the ones that start off good, they continually “subvert” to keep the audience guessing.
Eh, this just isn't true at all. You must have been watching a totally different show. I mean, some of them have some weak arcs here and there such as the dark Charlie arc in season 2. But the vast majority of the characters have highly logical character progression over the course of the show.
She literally has no hips. Instead of being wide, they are very narrow. She'd probably die giving birth if it weren't for modern medicine.
Saying the show is about the characters seems like a ridiculous cope. The show was popular because of weekly speculation over fake pseudomysteries.
>Half of every episode is dedicated to exploring a character through flashbacks
Yeah, it totally wasn't about the characters, bro... trust me
Adebisi should have ruled the island.
im on season 2 already
Cant wait to meet that fricking creep again
Favorite Dharma Station?
For me, it's the Flame. I used to prefer the Swan but the more you think about it, the Flame is way comfier.
Looking Glass
If I'm remembering right I think the orchid? Whichever one where the *actual* purpose of the station was underground and featured a testing chamber that goes nuts if you put metal in it. I wish we were able to see the arrow when it was still operational though. We only see it when its stripped of virtually everything.
Not if I have to watch a KATE episode
Give me some BASED Locke KINO instead
>used to watch episodes with my mom every week (for some of the seasons)
>she always predicted it was religious related
>finally watched it all the way through recently
>she was right the whole time
>mfw
yeah man they were dead all along
(You)
Yet another /L O S T/ thread on Cinemaphile in the past week?
Damn, it seems like this show is more popular than Rings of Power at the moment, lmao
Finna open another 50 year MacCutcheon to celebrate.
>Nobody mentioning this current great mystery show
Look past the black main character, you Black folk
>Look past the black main character
No.
Sorry, but I can't forgive him for pic related
To this day I'm conflicted about Michael. When it comes down to it though, yeah. Absolute sympathy.. but unforgiven. There was always a better way; he took risks in hurting his friends at every turn, but never took the risk of trusting them and finding that better way, on his own terms and not the others.
What is Epix? Never heard of it. Maybe more people would watch if it was on a better network
Im waiting for a holiday to binge it, trailer looks pgood.
i did, started in 2021 and finished earlier this year
it was worth it but i right now it's too soon, also i'd like to watch it with someone else who has never seen it before
>enter LOST thread
>the Black person still seething after all these years about the mysteries is shitposting on it again
It's so tiresome.
It's as if he stopped watching after season 2 and tuned back into the series finale for "answers" he'd lack the context to understand anyway without any investment in the years' worth of character development (which was ultimately far more important than LE MISTEREE ever was to begin with) and no understanding of how many plot threads actually had been solved by that point. We had a good Lost thread the other night at least and I'm glad I was here for that one.
He's lying about dropping it, no one could be this butthurt and asspained about a show they simply dropped and never looked back
Let's say woman like this and a fit 13 year old boy are stranded in an island alone... how long beffore bang?
Terrible epside, worst of the series, etc.
But...
I'd hit it
Most people said it was a dogshit episode, and yes the flashbacks and the tattoo aspects are pretty fricking uninteresting, but I was invested enough in Jack staying behind, the aftermath of Juliet killing one of her own and Ben's operation that I didn't find myself bored
Also seeing them beat the crap out of Jack at the beach was pretty funny
The best thing about rewatching Lost (or even watching it for the first time) in binge format is that the bad episodes are far more forgivable because you don't need to wait weeks at a time for another good one. For instance, Stranger in a Strange Land is immediately followed by Tricia Tanaka is Dead which I've always viewed as a Season 3 highlight.
it was a hilarious whitewash of someone's trip to southeast asia
Nah, never watched it or wanted to. From what I remember, when the show reached its later seasons all anyone could talk about was how dumb it had gotten. Like GoT but 15 years earlier.
>Nah, never watched it or wanted to. From what I remember, when the show reached its later seasons all anyone could talk about was how dumb it had gotten. Like GoT but 15 years earlier.
Massive fan of both GoT and Lost and I can say with absolute confidence that GoT had a way *WAY* worse decline in quality. Lost just got weirder, more convoluted and harder to follow for your average normie. It started out as a basic survival-type show and gradually became full-blown sci-fi and in it's final season it veered into almost bordering on magic realism. Your average normie who just wanted "answers" got filtered hard.
It had excellent character development, right up to and including the final episode, whereas GoT absolutely fricking assassinated almost every single goddamn character in service of its rushed plot.
topped in its own show
Hey, man! Everyone's inside!
BOOBA! BOOBA! BOOBA!
SEX! SEX
COOOOOM!
I think season 5 was Lost's weakest season for the most part, but The Incident was a fricking all-timer of a finale.
cute
LOOOOOOOOOOOOCKE
who rewatches?
I did. I watched the entire show as it aired, but I watched it all again some time afterwards.
>rewatch a tv show
do americans really?
PENNEH?
