re: Lost On Netflix

God I love LOST

May skip Season 2 since it drug so much with the backstories.

I feel like that's the beauty of LOST though.


The mysteries are cool but at the end of the day the characters is why I keep going back.

Jacob and MIB are the people I care the least about... Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurley, Ben, Locke, etc... these are the people I'm invested in, not the Yin Yang twins.

totally agree but Jacobs story and his eventual demise tugs at your heart which is a huge part of LOST. His "selections" and how and why he picked them is a big part of the lure of the characters. It gives you the feels and made you believe that he needed them.

Mr Eko was one of my favorite characters in the show. He played that part to a T

Yes, that is definitely true. I think the point I was trying to make is how the show is really a character study. We see people who have problems grow and change.

The mysteries just gave the characters something to do in order to face their pasts and who they were.

Not answering about Walt is a pretty big deal

Yes they did. Locke doesn’t bring him back to the island because he “had been through too much.” It’s obvious he had some kind of special powers like projection or telepathy, but his arc basically ends when Michael takes him off the island.

Then the island pulled Michael back via Ben to punish his soul by trapping it there after he died.

Dang it that Jin and Sun storyline always leaves me bawling my eyes out.

I meant to start a thread on here a couple months back about my 2nd watch/1st watch. The first run, I missed much of the first season and then I missed a lot of episodes in between as I sorta lost interest then didn't want to catch up. My wife had never seen any of it, so we went for it and watched all of it in about 3 months.

I actually enjoyed it more the 2nd time and the end was better than I remembered. I really missed a lot that first time. I was living in Kauai when it first came out and didnt have as much connection, but I remember watching because Hawaii. Now I'm living in Oahu and have been to many locations, so it was the right time to catch it again and it's fun seeing places we've been, many without realizing. That plus using subtitles when you need! My wife got hooked after about the halfway point of the first season. At first it was one or two episodes and we'd go to bed. Soon enough we were watching 4-5 episodes and going to bed late

There's definitely things they didn't answer, but it really didn't bother me nearly as much. I mean, you have to suspend disbelief pretty hard for this show, so who cares about a few weird things unanswered. The show was cosmic among many other things.

One of the things I wanted to post about was how fricking annoying Kate could be. I was too in love with her the first run, but her indecisive, somewhat dumb self was really evident this second run. That and how pompous Jack was. Still loved them overall

IMNSHO, season 2 was the best season of any series I've seen. It was the first show that ever hooked me and I was a teenager at the time. It was literally the only form of entertainment that distracted me from trying to frick every female in school.

I loved Lost but in retrospect, it went about two seasons too long.

I know from friends the payoff is disappointing

if you are watching LOST for the first time with this in mind, you should just turn it off and watch some ESPN.

Going into any show with disappointment in your head is just pointless


I can find flaws in any show ever made if I have that mindset

There wer so many hot women on that show. Clair was very hot but I really disliked her character. Just not one of my favorites.


I think Juliette was my favorite female character. She reminds me a lot of my wife (too old for you kids) in a lot of ways. She was also very hot to me.

If I had to pick one girl on the show for hotness, it would probably be Penny. She had the look and everything.
