As someone who watched it as it came out with a week between every episode and then rewatched it recently by binging it in one go, watching it in one go was much more satisfying. It was easy to get lost and confused by the mysteries when you forgot exactly what happened in previous episodes. But when I watched it all together, everything made sense and I could really appreciate it.
You loser. All that the map was supposed to show is that there was more than one station.
WHAT was the point of the stations again????? Isn’t this a weird magical island that doesn’t exist? Why does it have red October control rooms underground all over the place…?
Because modern people found it and wanted to study/harness its magical properties. Jacob and his brother come from an earlier time, so it was all mystical and shit. Modern humans understand things through science and research.
They literally say it. The island has weird properties like strong electro-magnetism, healing properties, etc. How else would people from the 1970s try to understand it? >"we found this island, let's throw away everything we know and become aboriginal hippies who dance in the forest"

They also ran behavioral experiments on people there. Just watch the show, everything is explained.

it is if your research is in a hostile environment like the island when you got others and smoke monsters trying to kill you
They were studying the weird effects of the island. Most of them are pretty boring, except for the one that studies the electromagnetic pocket and the one that studies time travel.
The show sucked major dick you only liked it because of everything you just said which has nothing to do with the poorly written show with no coherent plots or ideas that ended on a fart.
Never forget the four-toed giant statue.
>Never forget the four-toed giant statue.
The island can exist between universes. Hence the people from the island could find each other in the church when they all died, that was another (temporary) universe.
It's not aliens, dumbfrick. The Island exists outside of time and space. That's why the island can move around to different times and different places on the Earth.
Now when I think about it, it's not about different universes. The four-legged statue is from an ancient ancient ancient civilization that existed perhaps a million years ago, that has since disappeared. Basically it's to point out the island is much older than we know. Jacob, his brother and mother are visitors to it also.
That’s the stupidest explaination I’ve ever heard, they gave it four toes. That makes everything you just said pointless. If they wanted to establish the island is le old just have some ruins or a regular foot statue. They were teasing the audience with nothing with the four toes. And it’s not even a fricking island it’s some weird other dimension. Why are there four-toed Egyptians building 500-foot tall stone statues on it? Come on.
Imagine not being able to understand LOST (the greatest show ever made or that ever will be made for the audiovisual kinographic medium) in 2777 AUC. That would really suck (for them) lol.
>watched first ep with my brother >"so, its purgatory then?" >"seems so" >stops watching
Cue several years of the writers realising how fricking obvious it was and trying to hamfist a work around so "lol it isnt akshually purgatory gaiz"
Nah, it is, your show sucks
And I suck cause I'm currently going through the same shit with 'From' and am just deluded enough to think it'll all make sense by the end
>insane hype and theory crafting after every episode
And all of it meant nothing. Because Abrams can't write worth for shit and doesn't ever make a decision on what's in his moronic mystery box.
Old timer here. Lost was the first show that was helped by the internet and the hype was magnified by a.sll groups of people interacting with each other online.
Millennials and Gen Xers will never understand what real hype and word of mouth is. Take all the hype and discussion generated over all the seasons of Lost and it's not even 1% of the hype that Dallas generated in the summer when JR was shot.
That show got Super Bowl level audiences on its first airing and discussion was entirely word of mouth with no help from the internet. It even spread internationally. Young kids will never understand how popular TV really was in 70s and 80s.
I printed out a transcribed version of this map when it dropped. I wasted my life on frivolous bullshit.

they explained the toes
no, they didn't. "it was once a full statue" doesn't explain why four toes.
>It was easy to get lost

the point was to get people to tune in next week

Next question.

What does that mean? So the writers were just like “aliens exist btw, but you won’t see them 😉 “ ? Frick that.
No it means this is prime JJ Abrams Mystery Box Make It Up As You Go Along bullshit. We just weren’t aware of it then

where my sun worshippers at?
season 1 to 3 were good, but it already started falling apart at 3, rest was shit
>season
*episode
I was there when it was airing
It was stupid then and it's stupid now

Lost actually got me through high school because the school Chad and I bonded over it.
i've watched it few years ago for the first time with my friends and we discussed our theories after every episode, fun experience
I wish I was also as lucky as they are

shut up you stupid homosexual. the blair witch project is known for its word of mouth gorilla marketing campaign
Ah, yes. It's legendary $50 million entirely word of mouth advertising campaign.
You know what is a real tragedy? We will never again sit through the /got/ threads and endlessly shitpost about season 5-8 as it aired.
We had /bcs/ but that will truly be the last of the great Cinemaphile generals. It’s over.
its funny how literally the one and only thing people can praise about the show is the marketing.
What zoomers have instead:
>8 episode seasons
>All dropped at once
>2-3 years between seasons if it gets renewed at all
>Any discussion dies in a week
We unironically have to go back.
fr
I'm fine without discussion because I don't need things explained to me, because I'm not a moron, and don't enjoy explaining things to morons.
What the actual frick. Why are you on this site in this thread right now, shitbreath lol
>if you're not moronic why are you here
not the own you thought it was bruh
>I don’t like to discuss
>comes to discussion forum
frick off
you realize there's discussion beyond simply describing what happened each episode, right? or did you have breakfast this morning.
>plays intelligent
>bruh
have a nice day my Black person
This is the dumbest post I've ever read on this board. Try looking up what the word 'discussion' means.
On the upside they already know JJ and Lindelof are fricking frauds. So many hours saved
nobody is going to post sun? buncha slackjawed homosexuals. zoomies who burned their libidos out edging on drugs with fox ears on their head.
she's a basic chinese b***h there's millions of them
