Over 10er here
Nothing groundbreaking in this post. Just came to be with the tribe. Share feelin’s.
I’ve gone through the series over 10 times, and I’ve seen how others poke fun at those of us who’ve gotten into double digits. And they’re right, I do have a relationship with it.
Every watch is different. Every time I watch, I’m at a different place in my life. Different concerns, events, etc. So, my approach is alway different when I head into the jungle.
Every year, I’ll pick whichever character I resonate with and sit in their POV the whole time, thinking about the things that brought them there, how they’ve overcome or been defeated, what love means to them and what they do with it.
I just finished this year’s watch last week. I don’t know what I feel this year. I feel everywhere and nowhere at the same time, so I just let the ensemble wash over me. It felt like friends and family gathered together to show me “I’ve got what it takes.” Just what I needed.
——
I watched it with my son when it originally aired. It was a shut-up-it’s-on thing in our house. He’d be zoned in, trying to figure it out. I’d watch and get a look at how his mind worked.
He passed away 13 years ago. Lost is what I am and Lost where I go. Somehow, there’s a nugget of something I need each watch. Somewhere along the way is a memory of my son blocking the screen in front of us. He got closer and closer to the screen when he was chasing “clues”.
While not the most important time in my life, I count my time with them and the island high enough to revisit.
So, over 10 and counting.

The Five Ages of the Island
I posted awhile back about watching Chronologically Lost, and while I haven’t been able to watch much the last few weeks it has inspired me to think about the show from the island’s perspective and not from that of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815. As I’ve been running it through my brain I think we can divide the Island’s time into five distinct “ages.”
1. The Age of the Mother. We don’t know anything about this, but it’s whatever came before “Beyond the Sea” up until the man in black kills her. I think we can surmise she was in charge for a very long time potentially hundreds, if not thousands of years. People came to the island naturally, she didn’t bring them there. As long as they left the source alone, she left them alone although she obviously disdained them. I think it’s fair to assume the massacre we witness in that episode is not her only one.
2. The Jacob “Absent God” Age. Jacob continually brings groups of people to the island to prove his mom and MIB wrong. Crucially though, he never intervenes, god is absent and unknowable, because he felt his presence corrupted the experiment. Essentially what he says in “Ab Aterno.” None of these populations survive and endure, for reasons unknown but we can guess it’s either through natural conflict or MIB’s interventions and corruptions.
3. The Richard Age. Everything changes when Richard accidentally convinces Jacob to take a more active role on the island with Richard as his emissary. He’s actually quite successful! A long term stable community, The Others, takes hold on the island that stretches back to at least the early ‘50’s, and probably much earlier. There is still conflict (the dharma genocide), but an enduring society under Jacob has been established. Which I think is what convinces him to start the fourth age.
4. Oceanic 815. The events of the series, predicated on Jacob intervening harder than ever before by nurturing and gathering a large group of candidates so that one of them can become his successor and defeat his rival. Which one? Doesn’t matter. Anyone will do.
5. The Hurley Age. A hopefully much happier, less violent time under the guidance of Hurley with the assistance of Walt and Ben.
All this is to say that I’ve never thought revisiting Lost in a new series was a good idea, but looking at it this way I see a lot of story potential setting a show in the islands distant past in the first or second age. I’d watch that.

Just finished Lost. I sobbed through the entire finale.
Absolute kudos to the writers of this show for handling so many themes, storylines, and characters while still wrapping it up in a way that made sense. All the way down to the small details, like Vincent lying down next to Jack as he died. I LOST it for that part!!!!!
Charlie being the first to remember because he had been waiting for them. “Desmond Hume is my constant.” Ben staying outside the church to move on with Alex. And HURLEY. If we could all strive to have as big of a heart as Hurley, the world would be a better place.
Not to mention Sawyer’s endless arsenal of nicknames. One minute I was crying over the pure emotion being showcased and next scene Sawyer walks past Hurley and calls him Big Foot. It’s hard to strike gold like this for one season of a show, let alone six straight. Bravo, Lost. Bravo.
We have to go back!!!!! 🥲💔

Greatest Show Off All Time
I finished 6x16 last night and didn’t want to watch the last episode till the next day with sum snacks. Tonight I just finished the last episode.
It’s the greatest show I have ever watched all the different characters not only being side characters but having such detailed back stories and why they were on the island. Amazing.
Jack being the man of science to becoming the man of faith like Locke and understanding that Locke was right was amazing. And when the man in black tried to reminisce with Jack acting like Locke and Jack stood up for Locke. Hurley being the islands protected after Jacks death amazing.
I have seen a lot of people in this sub Reddit rewatching Lost and I will one day.
Locke, Jack, Hurley, Sawyer, Desmond, Sayid, Jin are my favourite characters. Actually all the characters are amazing show.
It was good being a passenger, I’m no longer LOST.

Just finished Lost… still processing 😭
Just wrapped up Lost for the first time… and yeah, I’m still processing it.
That finale? Broke me. Vincent just lying next to Jack in his last moments… no words, just pure loyalty. That hit hard.
Charlie being the first to remember? Of course. “Not Penny’s Boat” still gives chills.
Desmond and Penny… constant, always.
Hurley... honestly, if the world had more people like him, we’d be sorted.
Ben choosing to stay back… quiet redemption, no drama.
And Sawyer… still throwing nicknames like “Bigfoot” in the middle of emotional chaos 😂 classic.
What really got me though..the show starts with Jack opening his eye in chaos… and ends with him closing it in peace. Full circle.
Six seasons of going from tears to laughter in seconds… not many shows pull that off.
In the end, it wasn’t really about the island or the mystery… it was always about the people.
We have to go back. 🥺💔
See you in another life, brother.

Forethought by the writers? (S4 & 6)
Was it implied if Jack hadn’t had his appendix removed he would have died sooner when MiB stabbed him during their last fight? If so that is wonderful forethought. I didn’t really understand what purpose his appendicitis served way back in season 4, but if it allowed Jack to survive long enough to defeat MiB at the cliffs I think that is a brilliant little detail.
I don’t actually know if an appendix stab wound would kill someone faster, but I thought it had to be meaningful somehow since they show exactly where he was stabbed after the fight.

Charlie Pace
So I have a question.
" I am dead. But I'm also here."
Charlie says this to Hurley when he visits him at Santa Rosa and tells Hurley he needs to do something and they need him. He also tells Charlie that he's dead but he's also here.
In the flash sideways, we see a completely different Charlie who doesn't know who Hurley is and needs to be awakened. We also know that before the awakening,bthe person hasn't realized yet that he has died.
I know there is no "now, here" but how do you explain the scene in season 4?

Lost Explained Easter Egg
Could anyone DM me to help out with the Easter Egg for the Lost Explained channel? I have found the clue, but I am stumped on how to find the actual link to the secret video. Of course I won’t spoil the clue itself! But if anyone could message me and tell me where the actual link is I’d be very grateful.

No tapes in the Swan
One thing I noticed recently is that there’s no tape player in the Swan. Locke mentions it when he’s talking about the Pearl Orientation tape and says there’s no way to play it down in the Swan; instead they have a film projector. I have no idea if it was intentional, but I think it’s incredible attention to detail since the high magnetism of the Swan’s energy pocket would interfere with magnetic tape, and so they cant have that format down there. Again, not sure if that was intentional, but it works really well!

Craziest Smoke Monster theories?
I just started my 6th rewatch. I didn’t get to watch as the show was airing on tv, so I don’t know any of the discourse at the time.
>!Before seeing the smoke monster for the first time, what were some of the crazy theories fans were coming up with based off the noises, the pilot getting shredded, etc.!<
Also any other crazy theories as the show was originally airing will be welcome as well
