The Ringer
The 100 Best TV Episodes of the Century - The Ringer
Ranking the 100 best television episodes of the 21st century, from Mad Men to Succession to Game of Thrones.
I have started watching Lost for the first time and just finished S4e5 - The Constant and I’d like to say WTAF!!!
So as the title says, I have started watching Lost and tbf it was a struggle to keep going in the first few episodes of season 1. But I wanted to finish the series as I love this suspense, thriller sci fi type genre. And oh my god, how brilliantly the show has progressed!! I can imagine what big phenomena it would have been when the series first aired in TV…
My favourites from day 1 were John, Charlie, Swayer and Jun until Henry Ian Cusick arrives to play Desmond in season 2….. What a great actor and literally the best and most interesting back story line he got. I want a happy ending for this dude and nothing else would matter.
And this episode, The Constant - this is the television at its finest, one of the most perfect episode and I’d rate it at the level of Breaking Bad, Dark and the some highest rated episodes of game of thrones…

The number of episodses it's insane!
I'm binge watching for the first time and following the discussion in the discussion thread. I just started Season 5 and thought "I'm almost at the end, that kinda sucks", then check the episode count and there's 34 episodes to go. The last 2 seasons has almost as many episodes as the whole of Stranger Things (42)!!! Goddamn. I love it but that's a lot of episodes.

Anyone else disappointed we never got a Sayid and Jack embrace at the end?
So for me the ending was perfect aside from not seeing Jack and sayid embrace in the churc
For me Sayid was genuinely the only person Jack respected and trusted from early on and I really enjoyed there dynamic throughout

Favourite Patreon Reactors?!
These are my favourite and I will add where they currently are if you are looking for any new reactors to watch along with! I have had several on the go for years haha. One of my favourite reactors has only just started (Alexxa) but her reactions are so great. They all are to be fair.
TheLexiCrowd
(Finished),
Carmen Young
(S06E12),
Alexxa Reigns
(S01E06),
ShadowCatReacts
(S05E12),
MandyMooMovies
(finished),
If you're looking for really emotional reactors then Carmen and Lexi are 10/10 for that. Alexxa probably too but she hasn't got that far in yet. Give them some love. I am sure they'd appreciate some more Losties to come and watch along with them. I am almost down to 2 haha.

No Spin Off (Thankfully)
Just to give you all some context, on my mini rant of sorts, strap in, we’re not going to Guam.
Brief history; I was enlisted in the military when the 1st season of Survivor debuted. I hated it then (& now). I was back from a deployment and went to my local sports bar to watch ten NBA finals. I was stationed in VA Beach & the winner (Richard, I believe) was from that area. Hence why on every tv in sports bar, Survivor was on. Cut to 2004 & one of the key description of LOST was “it’s like Castaway, Lord of the Flies & Survivor. Heading that last part in was immediately turned off by the show.
Around 2008 I’m hungover as hell, make it through the workday, get home, turn on the tv, pass out. I wake up to what I would later find out to be The Other 48 Days. Having no idea it was LOST until that opening crawl, I was immediately hooked on the show. 4 hour block on the Sci-Fi network. Watched all 4 hours. Texted my buddy who had the first 3 seasons on DVD. Burned through thoughts and watch multiple times. The only season I watched live was season 6.
With that bit of “history” I must say, I know I’m in the minority on this topic, but I’m so glad they never did any prequels, sequels, rebootquels, so on and so on. It what I actually LOVE about the show overall. 6 seasons (with books and RPG’s, etc) and that’s it’s. That’s how great the overall story was and is, that we as the audience don’t “need” more. All of these shows nowadays have so many other spinoffs and I feel diluted the product. There are exceptions, but I’m just happy there a self contained show out there that like LOST. Hopefully if whomever decides to make another “LOST” it’s done with integrity and does the original show correctly.
My question to you fellow LOSTIES, if they did decided, what would you like to see? I have two thoughts on this; early island days or a continuation with the kiddos finding the island or brought to the island by Hurley or Walt.
Thanks, for taking the time to read my babbled nonsense. Haha!

Mikes mic just dropped the 'Appropriately Unhinged Recap' of LOST season 4 !
If you love LOST like I and so many others, please go watch him on YouTube. I'm in no way connected to his channel or anything related just a huge fan and want to show the love. Plus I'd love for another person who watches to talk to!!

Jack is the quintessential ACA (ACoA)
From a 12-step program perspective, Jack qualifies as a textbook case of the adult child of an alcoholic. He is The Fixer and spends the entire series jumping into the middle of everyone else's problems without ever looking at his own. It seems to me that he never grows very much as a character. From beginning to end he remains The Rescuer. There really is no redemption for him. From the time he opens his eyes in the bamboo field till the time he closes them again in the same location, he remains unchanged.
And maybe that is the philosophical lesson of LOST. We have to deal with life from the position we find ourselves in. Sometimes the pressure never relents. As I am fond of saying, life just keeps coming at you. I wonder how others feel about the character arcs of all of the LOST island residents.
Perhaps the most progress was made by Jin? Sawyer came along pretty well as he evolved into James. Claire nearly seemed doomed to follow the lost soul niche left by Danielle. For a show that purports to play with concepts of fate and destiny, I am left to contemplate if either really make any difference.

Jacob
I still don't get what he was doing. He needed a replacement, he watched them their whole lives but still didn't pick ONE, he brings them to the island but they aren't made aware of anything. Then Ben and MIB are trying to kill people and sending confusing messages. He sees they being manipulated but doesn't intervene EVER. Richard is supposed to be his middle man yet it seems Jacob never speaks to Richard or if he does I'm confused, Ben pretends to communicate with him but it's a lie... I just don't get it. What was Jacob doing? The MIB pretended to be HIM multiple times ... and he let them? I don't get it
