I wish I had watched it while it was being aired, it seems hyper comfy but I was more into cartoons and my family didn't watch it.
Knowing how it ends I'm wondering if it's worth it.
should I give it a go?

LOST is based as frick. GOAT TV show.
Also, do you actually know how it ends or did you buy into the "they were dead the whole time" meme?
I thought it was something about it was a dream the whole time or something.
Just watch it. You don't know shit.
Kk
Nope. I'm not looking to spoil things, so I'll just leave this in case you do choose to watch it:
Everything that happens within the show is real. It's not a dream, or purgatory, nor were they dead the whole time.
That’s what double digit IQ people got from the ending but it wasn’t like that, it’s more complicated, it’s hard to explain without spoiling it, but everything that happened on the island was real.
No, the ending is less complicated than “dead the whole time.” Dead the whole time requires shit like Plato’s hades (Jason and crew just coming and going as they please), Egyptian multi-soul, native american burial tree, and even a sprinkle of some obscure interpretation of the bible that people would be restored to their original flesh in heaven.
The actual ending doesn’t have anything actually going on except the writers trying hard to convince whatever audience remained their time wasn’t entirely wasted while lindelof and abrams pasted their signature shit-eating grins and literally tried to tell people “it was about the characters the whole time!”
>lindelof
As long as you don't expect the mystery boxes to have things in them it's fine. s2 especially is peak comfy. It has some real moron tier "from my point of view the jedi are evil" kind of explanations though. Like it hates you for even wanting explanations.
Based i didn't know lost was a backgammon chad.
Is it actually the oldest game in the world?
> Contrary to popular belief, backgammon is not the oldest board game in the world, nor are all tables games variants of backgammon. In fact, the earliest known mention of backgammon was in a letter dated 1635, when it was emerging as a variant of the popular mediaeval Anglo-Scottish game of Irish; the latter was described as a better game.
Not even close, but its ancestors go pretty way back. That scene is a metaphor anyway, the oldest game in the world is "light" vs "dark".
Black and White. You want to know a secret Walt? Did you know that despite comprising only 13% of the population.....
Was sayid the first step in accepting middle easterners after 9/11?
The magic of LOST is the character development, nowhere i see some political character.
This show is like fine wine, it will last long.
Interesting atmosphere and plot but the ending is phoned in
There's nothing wrong with the ending. It doesn't provide an explanation for all the show's mysteries but that's a problem with the whole show, isn't incumbent solely upon the ending to do that in my opinion. What it does do is wrap things up in a satisfying way for all the characters since that's what the show becomes about toward the end.
The mystery box shit is annoying, yes. Throughout the entire show it never resolves a single mystery without appealing to an even bigger mystery. But as I said, that's a problem with the entire show start to finish, it's not like it builds up to a big reveal at the end which it steals away from you.
The thing that annoys me the most about the mysteries is that many of them do get answered in season 5 and 6, but they contradict half the scenes. The Whispers, Jacob's relationship with the others, the "Security System"/monster, they don't make sense when you think about it.
>it was all a dream bro
kino
I tried watching it a few weeks ago, dropped it at episode 2 because I already knew most of the seeds of mystery they were plotting would never actually get a definite conclusion. If that doesn't bother you then go ahead.
Sawyer is like a gigachad. Frick I wish I looked like that.
I wish I were more like Ethan
>appears and disappears constantly
>abducts pregnant women
>has good fighting skills
also
>meant to be in his early twenties in that scene
>looks 40
Interesting
I use my hypernormie friends with super shitty taste as a barometer of whether or not something is going to be good, and they absolutely loved Lost when it was airing so I never watched it.
I do that as well, but I actually watched the show with my mother and younger brother. It was really entertaining and had a really interesting premise and setting if not much else.
most of the fun was watching this with Cinemaphile
you will never ever get this back
Half the fun of mystery boxes are experiencing the mystery with an audience. The other half is the suspense between episodes/seasons. Both are lost (lol) when you just watch it all together. So if you take all the fun out of it you are just left with an allegorical monomyth story about the axis mundi. Which isn't horrible.
I'd say if you like this listen/read some of Jordan Peterson's work before all the troony shit. Maps of Meaning the book was called. It is also a good way to get into media literacy.
LOST is my favourite TV show but as I get older it was because of the ARG and discussions I had while it aired. I learned so much from it. Twin Peaks and The Leftovers are probably better standing on their own. The Prisoner is also worth recommending because it is so influential to the genre.
I just like watching the characters interact with eachother.
They aren’t real. There is nothing happening. Their interactions and reactions bullshit. There is nothing organic about the show.
Are you okay anon?
I also liked that and lots of that was the acting but honestly the final season was such a letdown. My hope was that after jughead they were thrown into the future where the island was exploited by Widmore and a corporate Dharma replacement, along with the smoke monster winning in a sense.
Instead of Flash-Sideways we would have gotten Flash-Forwards again. Much of the mystery would have been that it was the correct timeline and jughead just transported them into the future that was supposed to happen. The final goal of resolving the timeline would have felt like it was going to fail but it actually does change things. With the finale revealing what the island was (the axis mundi).
There was so much potential and they really fricked it.
It’s a meandering load of bullshit that goes nowhere because that was, apparently, the plan all along. The characters are not good enough to warrant the fact the show goes nowhere, as not even their arcs or developments, if they can be called that, we’re planned out either. Every episode is just damon lindelof and a writer’s room examining test audience reactions from the previous episode/season and slapping together what would be the most unexpected/shocking development for the next, which eventually left them with nothing but “haha they’re all never going to expect the ending to absolutely suck all of the dick!”
Except the way the show was shot they couldn't put together episodes on a week by week basis. The writing team was often wrapping up the season while the first episodes were being shot.
>they couldn't put together episodes on a week by week basis
damon. Stop lying. That is exactly what happened and no one is going to believe the writing was like Omg so complex that no human hands could slap it together in a few hours, on the fly.
There’s been dozens of shows doing exactly that. They’re called soap operas. They are shot and written quick and dirty on, in some cases, a daily basis.
The writing wasn't insanely complex, plus they needed to put together set pieces and shit. They needed a run up, there were production photographs and leaks about the show weeks in advance. Like the big foot and shit.
This was before Twitter and the production filming became about shooting 3 different options then waiting for the audience to response for which one to pick like GoT.
they recorded three different people in the coffin at the end of S4 just because they correctly guessed it would leak months in advance, you're just talking out of your ass
nah
Regardless of anyone's opinion on how the show turns out, it's a one of a kind experience worth going through at least once. It may end up being one of your favorite things.
No, it is not one of a kind. It was a prime time soap opera. Not the first, but it seems like it was the last.
You may as well be shilling Dallas or Dynasty. There probably is or was some autistic person fixated on those, or maybe not, as we didn’t start swaddling autists in permanent childhood until your generation.
Lost is god tier. Yes, the ending is lackluster but it's about the journey. Watch it with friends and laugh your ass off
It's worth it anon
C O M F Y
awesome
Don't. They say that's good because of the nostalgia and Kate. That was modern sci-fi pioneer show but that's it
>kate
>implying
the superior waifu is clearly sawyer
given how shitty tv shows have become
Lost becomes better and better with age
was great
should I watch person of interest or the leftovers next?
Leftovers is great and short but depressing
PoI is stupid and long buy really nice and incredible past season 3
Fringe is kino too
pretty curious how a few of the actors stayed in Hawaii after the show ended
I watched the first 2 seasons the show is trash 90% of every episode were gay flashbacks, at the beginning that was fine cause they had to introduce all characters but then it kept happening, the remaining 10% is something interesting which usually happens near the end so every episode ends in a cliffhanger
Would not recommend
You're fricking moronic lol. Maybe you should be watching Michael Bay movies
s1 is perfect
Hurley ruined the show. He should have lost weight
Knowing how it ends should encourage you to watch it, since its nowhere near as bad as most would describe it.
Apart from that, yes, you should watch it. There is nothing like it, except its spiritual successor, the Leftovers (which you should also watch btw).
