@@jamescarr1265 It serves no function to the plot, is a bait and switch making the viewer think that new characters would be added, and it is placed immediately after John Locke's dad gets to the island. It's objectively a bad episode.

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

I really appreciate the faith you have in me there! And I am flattered by your sentiments, truly. But I am not alone. There are many fans still actively running Reddit pages, discussion groups and channels across the internet who are keeping conversations about LOST going and writing their own analyses or making their own content. There is even a 20th anniversary documentary in post-production right now that is earmarked for release later this year, which will have interviews with many of the cast and crew (and super fans). I hope my work reaches far and wide within the fandom, but we are all part of keeping the legacy of the show alive.

[@erawa2740]

12:11 Personally, I absolutely LOVE the iconic orange peel smile scene, and I find it extremely cool that the writers decided to include it in Locke's flash-sideways "awakening" moment! The scene is bizarre, extravagant, comical, intriguing and memorable all at the same time (honestly, it comes close to the epic "Walt...do you want to know a secret?" scene for me). It perfectly captures how Locke's perception of what was happening to the castaways completely differed from the rest of the group right from the start. And let's say it: Locke is rather an ambivalent, multi-faceted and perhaps even paradoxical character, which is quite well expressed in his one-of-a-kind smile pointed at a confused Kate haha :).

[@ffnitan]

Muito bem observado meu amigo! Aquela fala de Locke a Jack, quando este queria de todo modo sair da ilha, é sensacional.

[@jennaalcalaa]

I completely agree!!!

[@circling-girl]

I love that scene too! I love that from our perspective in the pilot, it's creepy, but it completely changes after Walkabout, and you realize he was just exuberant, experiencing small joys in the light of his miracle, maybe kind of punch drunk from the experience. His joy is only disturbing when contrasted with everyone else's trauma, and the question of why he's acting differently.

I actually like the orange peel smile it serves his character well with optimism and hope. Afterall he is the self-described "man of faith." When everyone around him is sad and crying, he tries to cheer them up. Never saw any mean malicious intent behind it. Just hope that things will get better and they're lucky to be alive.

[@jamescarr1265]

In the first episode it appears creepy but in the final flash it retroactively looks wholesome which is a fun spin. However not sure about John being an optimistic nice person? He’s basically a sociopath.

[@richardyoung8308]

Completely agree with your hot take on Hurley, he isn't very funny. But what he is is an extremely positive, endearing, and kind presence. So that every time he appears onscreen, I think many people - including myself - feel warmer and happier, and that things are going to be safer and calmer with the characters and story with him around. In that, his character goes way beyond simple comic relief, and to becoming a much deeper kind of relief for the audience. And that is the beautiful way Hurley is acted and written.

[@gateauxq4604]

The attitude of ‘the fat guy is the comedic relief’ is a holdover from late 20th century media. I really resented all the comedy being foisted on Hurley this watch thru. So glad he got a lot more to do later on because he wasn’t always funny but he was always the one who picked people up, dusted them off, and said ‘let’s build a golf course’

[@dlaimer]

Congratulations on the quality analysis. It's like Lostpedia - The Series! I was eagerly waiting for this, and now I am eagerly waiting for more! I always thought, though, that the means by which so many 815 passengers survived had something to do with teleportation. We see it happen to Locke, Desmond and Mr. Eko when the hatch implodes and to Jack when he puts the cork back in the source inside the cave only to reappear outside, in the bamboo field. One could also argue that flashing through time is a sort of teleportation, especially when the Ajira passengers arrive back in the seventies in scattered spots on the ground, rather than all together in the air. And of course, the most notable case of teleportation happens to the Island itself in the season 4 finale. I'm also pretty sure the Smoke Monster is capable of some degree of teleportation, especially when he changes form. Since all these instances - even Smokey's transformations - happen alongside a discharge of electromagnetic energy, I think it's fair to assume it might have occurred to the 815 survivors, at least some of them, like Jack. What do you think?

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

I think that’s a totally plausible thesis actually. At the very least for Jack. And we do see him teleported again when he is taken off the Ajira flight - not just teleported through time but also to a very specific space; he wakes up in a dense part of the jungle again. So, I would agree that there is evidence to support what you are saying. I don’t know about all of the survivors of Oceanic 815 being teleported though - surely at least one or two would have been in a heightened state of adrenaline and awareness and would have noticed a jump from a midair free fall to suddenly being on the beach in wreckage? I think they would all have to be out cold before the teleportation and impact occurred for that to work, or a lot of caveats. However, I think you’re right on the money with Jack there!

[@dlaimer]

@@LOSTEXPLAINED108 I don’t think we’ve seen anyone being teleported while conscious, though. Even after turning the frozen donkey wheel while healthy and wide awake, both Ben and Locke seem to firstly wale up in Tunisia, suggesting that they somehow lost consciousness. Maybe this is par for the course when one is not used to the electromagnetic energy that emanates from the source. My theory is that, after 2000 years, Jacob can teleport at will - or when the Island allows/requires him to -, which is how he travels from the Island and back. And maybe Walt, who has a history of projecting himself across space and time, one day will be able to do that as well. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

I am fully with you on Jacob and Walt having that power. I think the show demonstrates that fact across several instances. In my video on The Game, I discuss how Jacob uses the lighthouse mirrors as a targeting system for his travel. He goes through the looking glass as it were. Almost all of the candidate locations reflect places we saw him visit. In time, Walt might develop his abilities in a similar way and be able to aim better.

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

Yes, I’ve seen that news! Hopefully it will expose LOST to a whole new audience. 🙏 I plan to release a new video every month or so, although I can only go so fast. It’s 120+ episodes to cover and I’m a one man band. It takes a lot of time to write, record and edit one single video. I would love to do this full time and release a new video every two weeks but the ad revenue generation just doesn’t justify that commitment yet. As the channel grows and affords me more time, I’ll be able to invest longer man hours into the project and speed up the release schedule. Part of me is hoping the Netflix release will reignite larger interest and increase my own traffic. However, I also think this episode guide should be something to savour, and that my focus should be on quality rather than speed. That way, in the years to come, whenever anyone watches or rewatches the show they can always reference my guide. That’s the hope anyway.
