Yes.
It's an all new beautiful Purgatory.
Get it?

Well...lay it on us (or I guess, on OML). What unanswered questions do you have?
quote:
On the top of my head, here were the only things that weren’t answered:
The Hurley Bird
Who was shooting at the survivors when time traveling (I’m guessing the plan was themselves but they just dropped it in the final season)?
Why did Radzinsky cut up the DHARMA Orientation Film?
Why did Lapidus tell Faraday to hang up the satellite phone if Minkowski picked it up?
Why is the wheel chamber so cold?
Who were the actual original inhabitants of the Island? Was it Jacob’s mother who did another purge many years before? Did she have the same powers as MIB?
What was special about Walt and why was he special?
What were MIB’s actual plans for Eko?
What was MIB’s actual name?
Who was “You look just like her” that Goodman’s wife referred to relation to Ben?
I’m sure there are more, but they answered more questions than people give them credit for, even if all the answers weren’t that satisfactory.
Well there's a fair amount right there
Most of those not even things I can't remember because of a bad memory. Walt being special was a big one for me. Just so dumb.
In the last season there was that stupid magical river/pond/cork that was supposedly or somehow keeping the island together
Why was Hurley cursed by the numbers?
The mother who just pops up, kills someone and raises their kid with no explanation.
Kate's black horse. That wasn't the MIB. Just a random horse that was in Florida and on the island.
Libby. Character made no sense. Just another random character that comes and goes with numerous wild connections to characters that you're never told why they connected.
I'm not a Lindelof hater (or a LOST hater for that matter, it just was just a very bad ending that ruined the show for me). He made my favorite show of all time, THe Leftovers. It got right everything LOST got wrong and it stuck the landing. I will forever be a fan of that dude, regardless of me liking LOST or not.

Watched the first season when my brother in law bought the box set on DVD while we were evacuated to Pineville after Katrina. That first season was some of the best TV ever.

I mean, the cast members had all sorts of different religions ranging from Catholicism, Protestantism, Judaism, Islam, and Buddhists, so I don’t see why that’s all that controversial that they met up at a place where the religions were celebrated.
It actually makes a lot of sense, considering Christian also said this:
quote:
JACK: Where are we, dad?
CHRISTIAN: This is the place that you...that you all made together, so that you could find one another. The most...important part of your life, was the time that you spent with these people. That's why all of you are here. Nobody does it alone Jack. You needed all of them, and they needed you.

I missed seasons 1 and 2 and jumped on for season 3
I wanted to be caught up so I went to blockbuster and rented the first two full seasons on DVD and spent a couple weeks watching them ahead of the season 3 premier.
Each night before leaving for work I would make sure my VHS was set to record anything I saw on the guide I wanted to record and I noticed the week before the premier that Lost was coming on. After doing some research, it was a 3 hour summary of the first two seasons of Lost.

There are A LOT of episodes at 45 minutes a pop, so it's a hell of a time committment. But I don' konw a single person IRL that has ever regretted doing it once they finished.

Through The Looking Glass
The Constant
Walkabout
Live Together, Die Alone
On the table, you have a pretty special show. Those are 4 quint essential all time episodes of television that most shows don't even have one of

Deus Ex Machina is one of my favorites and I’d add it to the list. John Locke is one of the greatest tv characters of ever

The wife and I really got into LOST at first but bailed after the episode where the 2 folks get buried alive after getting a spider bite (I think?). The episode was more like a great episode of Twilight Zone and didn’t have anything to do with the series; it was just filler. Episode after episode of new questions/cliffhangers that never got resolved wore us out.
I always thought the title “LOST” was an acronym and the writers had to change the course of the series because people figured out the storyline. A couple of key actors left the show so the storyline had to be altered to account for that. They ended up with a convoluted, confusing mess where a form of fan fiction has to be relied upon to explain what happened.

Well you quit right before the single best stretch of the show.
I might have to give it another chance. It was such a great experience with the online community and how the network even set up a fake website for the airline, etc. The long , irregular delays between seasons was frustrating too.

quote:This is because ABC execs saw the huge success of the show and decided to get involved in the creative aspect of Lost. They just wanted episodes to milk the cash cow and Lindelof, Carlton and team had to appease them until they get it through the execs heads that the show is going to need to end. ABC didn’t want the show to ever end, seriously wanted 10+ years, regardless of the story.

Never watched Lost when it was popular. Started and sort of getting bored with it already on episode 8.
Just realized each season has like 20+ episodes. No way I make it. Will prob quit now.

Absolutely, and to be honest there's a good chance some of the people discussing the finale didn't have a clue what it was either. It's not some super high level kinda thing but for some reason people still to this day think "oh so [stuff]..." When that wasn't what actually happened AT ALL.
This X 10000%
I still hear people say, " there was a fricking polar bear on a tropical island, why didnt they explain that?"
Then I know they just didnt pay attention to the show and were just looking for something to bitch about.

Most of these remaining questions hardly affect the storyline or move the needle if an answer was provided. What does it matter MIB name. What does it matter if the wheel room is cold...
