that shit didn't affect the plot at all, it was just silly scene to show how crazy hugo's life was
you probably seethe at pic related >noo it would be impossible for him to walk in that state
then just pretend it didn't happen, it literally doesn't affect the plot, and it's not like the show is full of these moments
I guess some people can turn off their brain when watching TV shows but I can't

They survive a massive plane crash in Episode 1, anon.
Before we see this Hurley flashback we see a living monster made out of smoke.
Sounds like autism to me. Very obviously.

Most of the passengers didn't and the black monster is part of the universe of the show, they never established that in the Lost universe meteors don't cause as much damage as they do in real life, did they? Honestly after watching that scene the whole show just lost its spark

They clearly did in that very scene, anon. Not sure how your brain works like this.

They should have revisited it in the later seasons then >Ooh noo a meteorite is about to hit our camp >Why are you worried? Meteorites are not that big of a deal here
Something like that...

If you show a meteorite causing little damage in the first season you have to show another one causing little damage later on, that's filmmaking 101

this is some autist that would lose it if a train was slightly anachronistic in a show
Season 3 was the last good one
4 was shit, 5 was ok
6 was.. I don't even know what 6 was but every time I rewatch I consider the season 5 finale the series finale
It never really "jumped the shark" but killing off John was the worst decision they ever made and the show got significantly worse after that
correct, it doesn't help the show muddies the waters with fake locke and sideways locke
in fact including the flash sideways at all means that characters' deaths lose all drama and finality
I don't think the time travel stuff is bad, but I can see normal people being repelled by it, it's not complicated but it's waaay to far from what the show was at the beginning. At least they started slowly intruducing it in season 3, so it's not that much of a shock by season 5, but still.
stop misusing that fricking word
tho ya that scene was p stupid
no.. this show is literally the only time time travel ever worked for me. they did a good job of introducing it plausibly and the material was compelling
i'd say they only jumped the shark when they bothered to explain the source of the island
>When did it jump the shark?
When Jacob showed up and it started focusing on magic and shit. By season 6 with all that magic well shit it was unsalvageable.
John's resurrection should have been real because the island had healing properties and he had faith, or something like that. I don't know if it was just fanon but I've heard several people say over the years that the island was supposed (literally written to be) purgatory, but like the buddist version of it or something, and it would work well like that, with people passing on to the afterlife when they were ready, but John's faith keeping him there because that was the form in which he was happiest.
>John's resurrection should have been real because the island had healing properties and he had faith, or something like that
Did you even watch the show? The smoke describe him perfectly he was a sucker from start to finish
>Characters suck
Oh please. The show was almost entirely carried by the characters. Anybody who cared about the actual plot was indeed watching for the wrong reasons.
Three of the original four main characters are just pretty faces

I don't think expecting a show which is premised on a magical island and the unraveling of its mysterious inner workings to be somewhat cohesive or purposeful is too much to ask for. people demand different things of different shows, but in this case a lot of people were expecting a little more than gimmicky, aimless entertainment, as this anon says
>Be Damon Lindelof >introduce 100 mysterious things to draw in viewer, discard 95 of them
Lost abuses its tricks and at some point it just gets VERY tiresome
this, locke was a great flawed character but they couldn't find a way to get jack back on the right side of history while locke was alive
>When did it jump the shark?

Reviving Locke would have been so stupid, dead is dead. It just leads to an endless hole of why didn't the island revive x?
Why were they in the middle of the jungle, again? Were they worshipping the big black and obviously evil cloud of death or what was it? I can't remember because it was so long since it aired.
But if they were anti-smoke then why did they hang out in the temple in the jungle he was haunting instead of at the beach with Jacob? Wasn't the temple even for worshipping the BBSC, with holes in a wall for it to possess people and shit?
That was a different temple (it's also not clear why there was another temple), the asian guy and his followers had those anti-smoke-monster defences made out of a line of ash.
When Kate blows up her dad and drives away on a motorcycle with the explosion behind her. I don’t get why people say this is a deep show, it’s fricking CSI tier
What is it with that "circa" word? Is it some mandela effect? I swear to God that first time I read it was some months ago and now I read it everywhere. It gives me reddit vibes.
I'm pretty sure the world shifted again when they started up the hadron collider a few months ago. I'm SURE there was no such thing as a German terrorist group called Baader-meinhof before I first heard about it some months ago but now I see it referenced all over!
It jumped the shark - if you follow the original definition of the phrase "jumped the shark" - with the episode Mirror of Erised. At that point it was no longer possible to deny the show had completely L O S T it's way and was spaghetti-written garbage with magic used to handwave the mysteries of earlier seasons
honestly can't remember
first it got kinda boring when most of the cast has spent most of the season sitting in some fricking zoo cages and then shit got moronic pretty fast
For years I thought this .gif was from a game and people were just comparing it to lost because they thought the sub looked bad. We had a fuzzy enough CRT/aerial that no one in my family reacted at all on that quality.
What meteor scene?
The meteor that hits Hurley's chicken shop
that shit didn't affect the plot at all, it was just silly scene to show how crazy hugo's life was
you probably seethe at pic related
>noo it would be impossible for him to walk in that state
then just pretend it didn't happen, it literally doesn't affect the plot, and it's not like the show is full of these moments
Hugo and the reporter's crew were too close to the shop when the meteor hit, they would have been incinerated
The island wasn't done with him yet
Love finding new brands of autism on this site daily.
Yeah. Some fricking inconsequential Hurley flashback is when LOST jumped the shark. moron, lol.

It didn't.
I swear the majority of people who b***h about this show and particularly its ending were watching it for the wrong reasons to begin with.
Why would I waste 100+ hours of my life watching it? If I want deep themes I’ll watch something better, this is a glorified soap opera
No one claims this show is "deep", you pretentious homosexual
Characters suck and themes are paper thin so it’s really just a big nothing burger you homosexual
Nice moronic drivel
The show is moronic drivel it’s perfect for you

when the hatch was opened. That's when the really stupid shit starts.
nikki and paulo was the moment it jumped
It never really "jumped the shark" but killing off John was the worst decision they ever made and the show got significantly worse after that
>but killing off John was the worst decision they ever made
Kind of agree, Flocke was such a moronic plot line.
this, locke was a great flawed character but they couldn't find a way to get jack back on the right side of history while locke was alive
Reviving Locke would have been so stupid, dead is dead. It just leads to an endless hole of why didn't the island revive x?

Never

no need to thank us anon
Why were they in the middle of the jungle, again? Were they worshipping the big black and obviously evil cloud of death or what was it? I can't remember because it was so long since it aired.
No they were anti-smoke monster guy, other than that it wasn't really clear.
But if they were anti-smoke then why did they hang out in the temple in the jungle he was haunting instead of at the beach with Jacob? Wasn't the temple even for worshipping the BBSC, with holes in a wall for it to possess people and shit?
That was a different temple (it's also not clear why there was another temple), the asian guy and his followers had those anti-smoke-monster defences made out of a line of ash.
Guarding the temple
Couldn't Jacob have given them some slack from Temple Guard duty?
>His actual character name is Lennon
That's the deepest into shit the show has been.
When they showed the others living like hippies in the forest, you knew they had hit rock bottom
It never jumped the shark, but season 4-6 are a different genre than 1-3.
When Kate blows up her dad and drives away on a motorcycle with the explosion behind her. I don’t get why people say this is a deep show, it’s fricking CSI tier
What is it with that "circa" word? Is it some mandela effect? I swear to God that first time I read it was some months ago and now I read it everywhere. It gives me reddit vibes.
used all the time if you study history
>vibes
You are r*ddit
I'm pretty sure the world shifted again when they started up the hadron collider a few months ago. I'm SURE there was no such thing as a German terrorist group called Baader-meinhof before I first heard about it some months ago but now I see it referenced all over!
it's because you're an illiterate moron
> I swear to God that first time I read it was some months ago and now I read it everywhere.
It is Baader–Meinhof, not Mandela.
>Be Damon Lindelof
>introduce 100 mysterious things to draw in viewer, discard 95 of them

Huh? Is this some form of weird ironic pasta? Mirror of Erised is Harry Potter. Not LOST. You are a confused person.
i stopped watching when they moved the island
honestly can't remember
first it got kinda boring when most of the cast has spent most of the season sitting in some fricking zoo cages and then shit got moronic pretty fast
Claire is always cute and sane in my headcanon
the submarine CGI scene. final fantasy 7 for the playstation 1 had better cinematic graphics than this.
Hahahah holy shit this show is pure frickery and somehow gets away with it
