Lost was the greatest TV show of all time if you ask me

[@Niko-du8gt]

yessir

[@jpeg204]

Nah it wasn't very good, it was super obvious they were making it up as they went along, its a mystery show but all of the mysteries had horrible reveals, a lot of the original characters changed and majority of the new characters sucked. a show like breaking bad is so much better

[@thomasriding1224]

It started off good and got worse after season 2. Then season 4 was good again, but it should have ended then. Season 5 and 6 turned into a magic show and Jack's character development made mo sense.

[@gamblerfls]

For everyone who followed every episode when they aired, and discussed about it on the internet, every week, the show ended with so many unexplained events and inconsistencies that saying it was the best show ever is just untrue and delusional.

[@rohinipanchal3417]

Yep 👍😊

[@YelløwKing666]

Best series I’ve ever seen. I know it’s not flawless and eventually plotholes and story lines got convoluted but it Was enthralling. So captivating. Not only the crazy mysteries and stories but the characters were perfect.

[@HappyDude1]

It was one the first shows that everybody watched and talked about

[@MrBurgundy76]

i always thought lost was about the how characters reacted and developed while on the island than the island itself. watch it that way and youll love the finale.

[@humbleopulence]

So by ignoring an entire half of your brain, you can enjoy the series? Okay.... That's a bold strategy, cotton

[@jackhall3959]

The finale was great, but I totally understand how people didn’t understand it. A lot happened all at once and missing that conversation Jack has with his father meant people didn’t understand the flash sideways. I loved the ending, it just made sense.

[@lockheart619]

Lost was a masterpiece 😭

[@ClarkieCapeCod]

These were so creative and the best. Jin parking the van in the Sopranos ending is hilarious. Nothing compares to the Newhart ending. Even here it is still the best ending in televison. They matched the set exactly.

[@OnRockIT]

LMAO! I laughed so hard when young Jacob showed up behind Kimmel!!!

[@reubenshupe2273]

Such a good show. We need a hurley and Ben sequel though

[@PlayingWithWilson]

Yes! Why has this not happened

[@I-AM-THE-REAL-STIG]

I thought the ending of LOST was pretty great actually (by ending I mean the whole last season), but you had to understand it or at least try to understand it and make up your own version of what it all meant. It seems to me a lot of people here say the end was crap just because they read it on the internet or someone told them so.

[@novastudios2147]

Yeah people need to actually think about it rather than hate something because you're confused by it!

[@Tina-dg3tq]

I just finished the show yesterday and I don't get why people were unsatisfied with the finale. I think it's heartbreakingly perfect. It just fit, I've never experienced a finale like it. I seriously don't get all the negative talk about it.

[@luciferfaust]

@@Lifeofpablo1230 everyone dies eventually. The story of the island ends after man in Black is killed and Jack sees the plane taking off. The rest is the souls of everyone reuniting in a place where time doesn't matter, and they move on together.

[@adriangironchavez6638]

Lost is for me what Star Wars was for people in 1977. I just love it. It taught me people are two kinds: a person of science or a person of faith. Even the finale proves that...if you hated it, you're a person of science who tries to find a logical explanation for everything... if you loved it, you're a person of faith.

[@MaconiE90]

LOST was truly the greatest TV show that has ever been created. It made me think in many ways that i had'nt done before. It was (over the past 6 years) the only thing i used to watch on TV, i really cant believe its over. if i could turn back time to before i started watching it. i definently would watch it all over again!!

Lost pave the way for all the shows today and people still talk about the ending greatest of all time in my opinion of course

[@PopeUrbanX]

Lost didn't pave the way for Television heck it didn't pave the way for anything.The Sopranos is the most influential show ever,all of the TV shows that came after it were inspired by it's brilliance.The Sopranos paved the way for what a tv show could be.Without The Sopranos The Wire,Breaking Bad(and BCS),Mad Men and countless other tv shows wouldn't exist.Lost was a good show but it wasn't groundbreaking in any way.A lot of stuff that Lost did was taken from The Sopranos for example Anti-Hero main characters and the whole idea of an entire episode focused on one or two characters,which Lost did a lot and a lot of the episodes were totally redundant.

[@Damon242]

@Pwells1 that's the point. you do not make things too different, otherwise you risk changing the fundamental elements of the character, therefore a creating an entirely new one. The flashbacks and island didn't deal with "what would I have done had things be different", they dealt with change ("If I had a second chance..."). It all ties in from the second episode 'Tabula Rasa' which means clean slate, and compares their pre-island lives with their island lives.

[@ancapikitty]

I loved the Survivor ending the best, because it reminded me of my dad saying way back when before the show ended on the castaways going to Survivor. XDDD

[@samvise85]

The first two are simply AWESOME!!!

[@RadagonTheRed]

Most people don’t understand Lost because they didn’t watch it properly, not paying close enough attention. It’s so annoying - the way they don’t understand the most important and deep plot points.

[@jordancrossgrove8827]

It truly was a show that could only be fully appreciated if you watched it live when it originally came out. It’s totally a bingeable series, but if it’s your first time seeing it, it doesn’t have the same impact the old school way of waiting week to week. Being a LOST fan was something different, something totally special.. it just added to the experience of it all. No show will ever be quite the same or do what LOST did quite as good as it did it.

omgg this is hands down the funniest thing LOST thing i've ever seen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kosh2001]

Hard to believe it's 2023 ...it seemed like yesterday I was watching "LOST"

[@Damon242]

@Pwells1 no. you misunderstand me. By setting, I mean the environment in which the characters exist (i.e the star wars universe). In terms of character, the setting serves no other purpose than to carry the issue of the character (similar to a supporting character, it exists to guide them). The setting can be changed to anything, what it is specifically isn't the issue, but rather how it serves the character. So if Luke and Vader were all characters in a completely other universe.......(cont.)

[@Damon242]

@Pwells1 As aforementioned, fate is one of the core concepts of the show. Is it destiny that these characters end up in certain circumstance (the seeimingly identical life situations of the characters in the flashsideways, always slightly altered; kate is innocent, sawyer is a cop, jack has a son, locke was on good terms with his father, etc)? Is there free-will (this is presented in the 'choice' format)? The flash sideways were heavy on concept.

[@Beatleslvr4ever]

lmfaoo, their faces at the end: :D & D: HAHAHA hilarious...

[@Damon242]

@Pwells1 it actually deals primarily with internal conflict, not external. And I am a writer. The flash-sideways in the finale were not irrelevant. I would agree with you that as a whole, they were unnecessary, really only serving a purpose in the final episode. Until the reveal of their nature, they operate under the allusion that their directly linked to the present occurrences on the island. But they did serve character, you were wrong to say they didn't. It provides alternative aspect.

[@StrangeAngell]

This is fantastic!

[@Damon242]

@Pwells1from the beginning (therefore not changing the primary setting halfway through an already established story), then there would be no impact on the character, because at the end of the day, the story is about the protagonist (or in Lost's cast, group of protagonists) resolving their problems, and developing. How, is what they show you. But the means can always change, so long as the end is achieved. That is what I meant by the setting not playing an absolutely vital part to the character.

[@Choekaas]

Look in the background at 1:57 It looks like "The Last Recruit" was supposed to be called "The Comment" and "Across the Sea" was supposed to be "Beyond the Sea".

[@Cugiterl]

Where is the third finale from?

[@TexasSnyper]

@rimakala they were not dead all along, its just in the sideways time line that they are dead. Jack didn't die til the very ending after setting the stone in. It never shows Hurley's death or those of the people on the plane as they escaped. Everything that happened on the island actually did happen. Its just in the sideways time line that they are all dead and reuniting before moving on.

[@_DaneB_]

That Jeff Probst scene was awesome! Go Survivor!

[@Damon242]

@Pwells1 The character development involves the choices characters would have made had things been different, and how their choices in the flash sideways parallel with their island lives. The best episodic-example of this is Dr Linus. Other than that, there are also small moments (though only a few), where their remorse and desire for forgiveness is further touched upon (the absolute best example being Ben and Locke outside of the church in the finale).

[@Damon242]

@Pwells1 Remember that the audience was not meant to be aware of what the flash sideways really were at this point, so there was material thrown in to maintain the allusion that it was something possibly generated by the hydrogen bomb. Which of course, the audience was tricked by from the very beginning (purposefully, it was made so that they mistook initial recap for being a part of the episode).

[@coolbullshit27]

When they were inside the temple for Jack's fathers funeral, Kate said "It's time to leave", I think that meant It's time to let go of their individual memory of the island and move on with their new lives(Maybe heaven or maybe a new wave of existence), So when Christian Shepard opened that door and let the light in, that was the moment when all that they have worked for,

[@Damon242]

@Pwells1 No. It's about the characters, and how they change and develop in response to their trials (their trials both consisting of their personal life and the issues of the island). That is how storytelling works, it is always about its character(s). They were the point. Not the island (the island, only a partial trial, could have been anything else and wouldn't make a difference). Also, it's the basic template of the 'hero's journey'--it's about the hero, not the journey.
