20 Years Later, LOST is Still One of The Best Shows in Television History I A Lost Video Essay

[@WhatKariDoes]

These are the three examples I always think about. *Spoilers ahead* -Shannon's dad being in the car accident with Sarah (Jack's wife) - Kate's father in the army with Sayid -Charlie saving Nadia (Sayid's love interest) of being robbed in the alley

[@KoolKeithProductions]

NOW you're worried about spoilers? Why would you mention early on in your review that there are flash forwards and flash sideways? Both of those being introduced were GAMECHANGING to the show's structure later in its lifepsan, but you casually mention them like they had existed in the show from the start. That was horrible.

Michael Giacchino (who wrote the music for Lost) is now old enough to have a SON who is scoring The Penguin on HBO. This made me feel SO OLD.

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@greyeyed123 Wow!! I’m definitely watching The penguin.

[@robl6933]

Lost was one of my all time favorite shows. Lost made me a spoiler free person after season 3. I no longer check spoilers on any show or movie. To me Lost had some of the best dialog ever, very quotable. I love the ending, it wasn't the ending I wanted, but it was the right ending for the show. Great video!

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@robl6933 Thank you! And you’re right. It had great dialogue, a lot of good quotes!

[@Sandervideoclipsegames-or7ui]

The best serie all the time!!!!

[@LissKuk]

girly, i love seeing this lost renaissance your video is great, very happy to stumble upon it. and seeing your catalogue of works spikes my interest , you got yourself a new subscriber:) also the allusion to kate's episodes with your channel name is chefs kiss

[@WhatKariDoes]

Thank you so much! Your comment just made my day. I'm glad someone got the reference of my channel's name :) I am enjoying the Lost renaissance a lot!

LOST is like life. Both bring their share of questions, and the answers? They are given to us, or they must be deduced, or they must be invented by each one so that the whole is coherent. And finally, all those that remain, in the next life perhaps.😊 20 years later, still my favorite series, from the first to the last second.

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@youtpfpm6097 Nicely put!! Lost is like life! I love that.

[@ritabalmin2771]

best show of all times

[@robertw31968]

I watched Lost every week when it first came out. Now i watch Lost at least once a year, sometimes 2 times. I'm 56 and its my all time favorite tv show. Everytime I do a rewatch I find something I missed. Just found your video and channel. You have a like and a new subscriber. Great video.

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@robertw31968 Thank you so much!!! I also watch Lost once a year, this year maybe twice and every time I find something new.

The final episode footage of the plane crash debris on the beach was shot during the pilot to document the exact position of each plane part. It was filmed on a public beach. At the end of each day the plane parts had to be removed and then replaced in the exact same positions the next day of shooting. It is a shame that that footage caused all of this confusion about the castaways being dead the whole time. I believe this was discussed in the interviews for the final season DVD.

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@sonic31century1 That’s very interesting!! A shame indeed that it was misunderstood!!

[@greyeyed123]

All the internet polls right after the finale were well above 50% "very satisfied" or "satisfied" (60-75%, if my memory serves). I had no confusion at all about the wreckage. I suspect a large part of the finale audience were people who stopped watching after season 1 or 2, then came back for the finale to find out "the answer" (which was the only reason they were watching it anyway). If that is the case, it wouldn't really matter that Christian Shephard basically looked at the camera and explained what was happening. If you hadn't watched the show in a few years, it would seem like he was saying they were dead the whole time. The rest of the haters may have watched the whole series, but got confused and stayed confused. Many of them are still confused 14 years later. I have a cousin who watched each episode once on tv and thinks they were dead the whole time. I can't bring myself to correct him because I feel like I would get so upset that it would ruin our relationship, lol. I just let it go...like Jack ultimately did.

[@jillmacafee3988]

I love the ending! I agree, it was perfect.

[@commie_maybe]

I only just watched Lost. I kinda thought it was old news. To see so much fresh content keeping this show relevant is marvellous. ❤

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@commie_maybe I love the fact that is still relevant 😊 it deserves it!

[@etothej]

I'm 57 and I JUST watched it for the first time. Can't believe I waited this long. Loved every moment of it and now really miss it now that it's over. Will be watching it again, for sure!

[@WhatKariDoes]

It's the feeling I got when I finished it for the first time. Definitely worth the rewatching.

[@KoolKeithProductions]

@12:34 I still dont know why the ep gets so much hate. Sure, the flashback isnt as exciting as other eps, but the on island stuff is VERY relevant.

[@Thunderflare99]

Lost is one of the best shows ever and it does still hold up well today, especially since TV now is generally so bad it has been time to break out the DVDs and rewatch. After multiple viewings the flashbacks in season 3 were really pushing it, so it's good they changed course. Season 2 is my favorite, but I had no problem with and enjoyed the ending.

[@WhatKariDoes]

I agree, Lost is better than many new tv shows for sure! I’m glad you didn’t hate the ending 😅 thank you for your comment 😊

[@KALtheHighstorm117]

I just finished watching Lost a few months ago, and I still haven't stopped thinking about it! The acting, the soundtrack, the mysteries, and the emotional character development combine to make a show that is absolutely enthralling. Some of the characters that I thought were horrible people or were just plain boring at the start became my favorites at the end. Benjamin Linus is my all time favorite fictional character! His journey from being...that....to....gosh, I can't even put it into words. Definitely the most complex character on the show, and the best acted too imo. Have you watch Michael Emerson's other show, Person of Interest? It also is excellent, and Emerson plays a completely different but still enthralling character!

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@KALtheHighstorm117 I agree so much with what you say!!! I love Ben’s journey a lot! Amazing characters and character development! I haven’t watched Person of Interest, thanks for the recommendation 😊

[@greyeyed123]

"How many times do I have to tell you, John. I always have a plan." I always love the evil genius character, and Michael Emerson knew EXACTLY how to play the part. And after seeing his performance, the writer's leaned into it also. (He wasn't guaranteed that part when he first appeared as "Henry Gale". They were going to have someone else play "the leader of the others", Ben Linus. But Michael hit it out of the park, so they kept him around.)

[@zoo8985]

14:06 this! I totally agree

[@Taj_Rahine]

Great video, yes I think the story of Lost was great. In my opinion the greatest story ever told on a television show.

[@midknightgeek6629]

Agree 100% Truly amazing show! Need a rewatch soon I'm thinking 🤔😎👍

[@NahuelPavano]

Great review! Im introducing my girlfriend to this show, and rewatching "walkabout" gave me chills. Saludos desde argentina.

[@WhatKariDoes]

Gracias y saludos hasta Argentina!!! I'm doing the same with my boyfriend, he's already in Season 3

[@maryangeldeiriarte8273]

I think many of them or maybe all of them were happier in the island .I love this show a lot.

[@WhatKariDoes]

I think so too! 😊

[@mitchell428]

Never not going to be happy seeing love for this show. I grew up watching it with my father a little and as an adult it is probably my fav show of all time after I experienced it for myself. Cannot even count how many rewatches

[@darlenestover4745]

Why can’t someone make another series like lost. Come on writers! If they did it in 2004 ,than surely writers can come up with new ideas.

[@magisterdamask3947]

Besides "The Leftovers", the best legacy of Lost spirit is "Person of Interest"

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@magisterdamask3947 Thanks! I still have to watch both of those shows!!

[@magisterdamask3947]

@WhatKariDoes Person of Interest is a real favorite. The actor of Ben in Lost is onr of the main characters here and he plays a good guy. The show is about AI and has great narrative and dialogues, it's awesome !

[@Fantastic758]

i love lost .. its in my top 5 favorite shows of all time .. thank you for the vid .. i think i am gonna watch it again soon .. who is your favorite character from lost ?

[@WhatKariDoes]

Thank you! You should definitely watch it. My favorite has to be Jack, but I love many others, like Desmond, Kate, Faraday, and Jin.

[@Fantastic758]

@@WhatKariDoes i think desmond are the most complicated character in the show

[@axétério]

Lost was / is one of my all-time favs shows however I am one of the disappointed fans of the ending. Not for what it was but that the creators (IMO in my hazy memory) lied about their story way early in their show run start only to prove certain questioners correct at the show run end. Interesting to hear what you said about fan reaction to the episode end credits, I don’t remember it that way nor thinking what you relayed due to that so…I might check that out thx. I loved the series, rewatched (way back when) a couple times and only 1 season did I feel ugh lol

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@axétério Oh I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t like the ending :( About the credits, maybe it was not the main reason but it definitely influenced how fans viewed the ending.

[@gettinglostdoc]

We think you'll love the documentary!

[@WhatKariDoes]

@@gettinglostdoc Can’t wait to see it!! Such an amazing project.

[@xioncorp]

Any suggestions of similar shows?

[@WhatKariDoes]

I would recommend: Dark, Yellowjackets, Once Upon a Time, The 100. Those are the ones I like but they are not VERY similar. I'm still waiting for a show that feels like Lost.
