An appropriately unhinged recap of LOST (Season 1)

[@witchflowers6942]

unironically though. Lost was the IDEAL of network television.

[@cradio52]

Network TV (AKA actual TV stations like NBC, ABC, CBS, etc) has 22-26 episode seasons to this day. 8, 10 and 13 episode seasons have always been more of a cable/premium channel thing. The Sopranos had like 13 episodes per season on HBO and that was back in 1999.

[@WiredLain_]

that was the normal for shows before, the 10 episode a season thing only started being super common in the past few years.

[@raven_moonshine39]

@@WiredLain_ it can actually be traced back to the 2007 writer's strike. A lot of shows had shorter seasons because of it and I think a lot of people, networks included realized they'd rather have shorter seasons with a solid plot throughout instead of 26 episodes where sometimes more than half are filler. When you look back at a lot of those pre writer strike shows so many of them have lists somewhere on the internet of which episodes are relevant and which are skippable because they would have episodes long meandering before getting back to the overarching plot for one episode.

[@smidlem1117]

​@@johannathorn6652 seems like neither of ye watched the show haha, the difference between the beach and caves was both literally and metaphorically the difference between desperately hoping for rescue and denying the clear weirdness of the island versus learning to live on and with the island. there's a plot in a later season that makes this very explicit but it's basically said out loud multiple times in the show itself

[@bibi2004-k8x]

@@retsaMinnavoiG You could see it as more of a mentality thing. Choosing to go to the caves was metaphorically giving up on being rescued, not literally. The caves might not be too far away from the beach but the IDEA of going inwards of the island and settling down in one is like building a house because you've accepted the fact that the island is where you're going to have to live for the rest of your life. Staying behind on the beach is like you've already packed your bags and just waiting for the ride.

[@retsaMinnavoiG]

@@bibi2004-k8x that's not my point though. You can literally do both. You can get on with your life and make the best of an unfortunate situation while also having some people on the beach just in case. Sure, 5-10 years later you might say, 'they're not coming and your time would be better spent inland in our community' but this was not long after crashing. Even, if it seems pointless, there is no real harm in doing both.

This is the format by which we'll enjoy old TV shows in the post apocalyptic wasteland: listening to a wise storyteller breathlessly recount each character beat and plot point as we sit around a camp fire together under the light of the stars ✨

I want season 2 so bad. This is just like between seasons when the damn show first aired

[@tomdelongjohns]

yo this show was SO IMPORTANT to me as a young teen and i never even REALIZED all the numbers showing up even in s1. thank you for educating me. this is fantastic.

[@madd0911]

love the representation of LOST fans from our generation. We were in the trenches and we definitely were too young to be enlisting. I had a middle school teacher who'd always ask if I caught the episode the night before and I was always like "how is THIS the one thing we have in common"

[@jessicalund9269]

‘Too young to be enlisting’ NO because why was I watching this show at 9 years old!!! I was invested in every inch of the plot and I hadn’t even seen my first decade of life yet!!

[@winteraustin1198]

I love this.

[@winteraustin1198]

From a fellow kiddo who was allowed to watch lost 😂

[@uschilou]

I was in high school when it came out, there was a Lost group at one school I went to! Now I understand why. I told my husband Mike watched it when he was NINE😂

[@Rye_BreadGod]

The way THIS video made me realise how many times they sneakily referenced the numbers before even introducing them- God Lost is such a masterpiece

[@IsThisUsernameAvailable]

I own physical DVD copies of the first two seasons of Lost that my dad bought back in the day (even when he saw the show as it aired on TV) and the box for season two has the numbers on the cover. It's really cool

Forgot how absolutely FERAL I was for Sayid as a literal 9 year old. The pink print for me personally.

It was Sawyer for me. My God that man was beautiful.

[@JayofLemuria]

Hahaha I was so anti-Sawyer. I’m glad he had his fans too.

[@cypher5796]

Sayid was a changing moment for me, when Charlie punched him and he almost instantly takes control of the situation...what a man, akso his torture scene with Sawyer is always slightly funny

i always watch your videos because tbh i’m pretty lonely in my daily life & it feels comforting to be included in someone’s day-to-day, especially when it’s someone like you who’s always soo entertaining. but i wanted to comment because i wanted to say it really meant a lot to hear you express how you’ve been really feeling. i could relate to so much of what you were feeling & saying & it made me realize that there’s no shame in the life i have & that im doing my best just as you are, & you have an incredible life even despite your struggles. thank you for sharing & being such a positive light & speaking on good energies n such 💟

I remember everyone talking about how Lost was confusing back when it was one air. But I watched it through streaming and when you dont have 1 week between episodes, you remember all those little details much better and it actually makes a lot more sense. I think it was a show meant to be watched in chunks instead of week to week. One of my favorite shows for the interesting concept, story and characters. Loved the recap!! Cant wait for season 2 :)

[@abluworld]

Its scary how much mike is able to verbalize every terminally online gay thought in the exact way I think in... for 2 hrs about LOST 😭😭 im so entertained

[@Lauren-wt1gu]

Mike I have to say I have NEVER watched a single episode of Lost but I’m 38 minutes into this recap and not only am I ENGROSSED in the content but I think I am successfully following along so far???? I know Lost gets absolutely nuts later on so I do not take this for granted! Loving loving loving this.

[@maddyc2412]

People who weren't there will not understand how exciting THE HATCH was. For weeks at school thats all we talked about, theories, conspiracies, all of it. When the light came on, holy shit! It was truly a golden era of TV

[@e.eick-scott6511]

LOST came out my freshman year of college. A group of friends and I managed to watch every single episode live...wherever we could, on literally whatever TV we could find. I remember watching the season 2 opener (and omg what an episode it was) by myself on an ancient TV at an interstate truck stop 😂 I'm 38 now and it makes me so happy to know that there are people so much younger than me who want to re-live (or experience for the first time now!) what a surreal cult phenomenon this series was!! Your overwhelming dedication to making these passion project videos has totally stirred up all the excitement I felt back in 2004-2005, and how much i looked forward to watching every new episode and then going on the forums to geek out and speculate.

[@lili-cl1zx]

mike you've absolutely knocked it out of the park with this one, the sheer production of this is amazing!!! and 2 hours and 35 minutes??? we've been FED!! i was watching this with chips and drinks like its own movie, haven't been this entertained in a while, i hope you're proud of this masterpiece!!

[@k1773ns]

I gotta say, this is a testament to how good this show is, because I too watched LOST when it premiered at age 9-10, (and haven’t rewatched it since then) but as you’ve gone through the plots of the first season I’m vividly recalling the episodes and their stories 😳 nearly 20 years later their still engrained in my mind.. the impact this show has!!

There is so much beauty, love, friendship & human connection in this show, it'll totally cancel out the scary parts if only you give it a fair chance.

Watch it! At the very least watch season 2! It's SO worth watching and seeing it yourself for the first time.

[@yefreitor]

definitely watch it, mike’s videos are fun to watch regardless

[@drakethegay]

tbh the show is only interesting until the finale of season 3, at least for me. I recommend the second season but it gets really boring towards the middle of the show

How’s your LOST marathon going? Lol

Yes. You absolutely must finish watching this show!

I wish I could watched it for the first time again, I heard about the show for a while but never got to watch it until pandemic and thank god I did

[@laurent1009]

No literally. It’s the first show I remember binge watching. I started watching during finals week of my freshman year of college (terrible time to find a new obsession). I had already moved most of my furniture out of my dorm so I spent hours sitting on the floor watching Lost 😭

[@hannah-6080]

@laurent1009 yess me too! I got into it with my sister my senior year of high school and binged it on Netflix (I think this was 2011.) Every night like .5 seconds after my foot stepped off the school bus, we would be SEATED, watching Lost, late into the night

[@simbasmiles5525]

I’m so glad Mike’s talking about the soundtrack- it’s honestly so beautiful! Locke’s theme breaks my heart every time

seriously. I rewatched it with someone had never seen it before and the moment Locke's theme came on I already preemptively started sobbing, talk about pavlovian.

[@JMD314]

As a diehard LOSTie since the pilot aired in 2004, just wanted to say that I appreciate the level of detail and amount of homework you did to make this video. You truly did the show justice and I am impressed. Can’t wait to see the rest of the seasons.

[@iwouldgiveyouthemoon_]

i've seen the video so many times that i now quote along with it. "you're talking bout da numbess", "you just made that up!", and "spookiana venti" are my personal favorite moments
