Yeah it was very annoying and frustrating with all the many finely set up mysteries that meant nada in the end.
Good post by the way.
Television Lost: The Final Season
- Thread starter The Flying Potato
- Start date
Good post by the way.
Am I the only one who played the Lost video game? It was set right after the end of season 1 or 2 and had a pretty sensible ending and loved the atmosphere running around the island.
I remember buying it at full price. I also remember banging my head against a wall three hours later when I had completed it
Yeah, the length was on the shorter side. I bought it for really cheap after binging on a couple of seasons.
Good review, and how i felt.
Journey defo better than the destination especially as it was happening.
A show defo worth it for the week to week watch (rather than a binge).
Watch lost up to the end of Season 2. We have to go back Kate. We have to go back.
That's the real ending.
No answers.
The hell? Don't get it.
I have a big problem with this: the current trend of writers misleading viewers/readers by setting-up cliffhangers with little or no genuine resolution. It's hackwork, IMO.
Oh, thanks. And I agree. That's so cheap of them.
Recently started rewatching this and it's still so fecking good. It's rare that I can sit through a few episodes of something, nevermind an entire season, but something about this show captivates me upon every rewatch. I don't tend to watch things for stories so I guess that's why the latter seasons never bothered me, but the journey of the characters is something else. I don't think there's any other show I've seen with such a diverse range of enjoyable characters, I can never stick to one favourite. And then there's the setting which despite all its dangers somehow feels like a paradisal escape, you can just spend hours lost in the world. I'm probably just reiterating what I've already said in this thread.
I'm sure as I go on I'll notice things I dislike about the show, but for now I'm just going to try and enjoy it for what it is, and be sad when it finishes again.

I re-watched this 6 months a go when Sky had them on box set. Yeah completely agree. So many likeable characters. I don't think I've come across a series with so many question throughout and it really created a buzz.
It was a sack of shite. Refused to watch the final season because what was the point .
I did like Sawyer though. Cool guy.
Each season got worse and worse but the first 3 were great.
Sweaty Kate made it tolerable at its low points.

The mystery and intrigue was great, but as soon as it became apparent there was nothing good at the end I stopped. That's what was so interesting for me. Same as @esmufc07, didn't watch the last season.
The setting and weird stuff they were discovering was just perfect though.

I enjoyed the finale but overall the last few seasons dropped in quality cos it did seem like they were making it up. Biggest thing was it seemed like fans guessed the correct answer after s1, and the writers were like 'ahh, shit, nah youre wrong' then changed it, but then added a second timeline in the final season.
But the first few seasons (bar a few in second where it seemed like it had no purpose of trying to leave the island) were great. Some great moments too.

Time flies! Didn't realize its been more than a decade since this show started 
how is this thread still going ?

Just a flashback.
Must say though it was the first real series I got into so have fond memories of the show.
On a side note, The Constant is probably one of the best ever episodes of TV ever made
Same.
It wasn't aired in my country so i used to download a episode every week.
I was much less forgiving back then, so I've rage quit it after three or so seasons. Same with Battlestar Galactica.
They are both better binge watched. A lot.

Just started rewatching it a few days ago. Best TV show ever.
This goes down as my favorite for sure
Did anyone watch this on Sky through a Virgin Media subscription? I can't remember which season it was but one week there was suddenly no Sky One. No Lost. I spent a couple of weeks depressed, chasing and eating rats to sustain my mortal shell. My beloved Lost was gone.
It was during this time that I discovered Heroin. Heroin isn't what you think, - it was actually the harmless nickname for my first serious girlfriend. She got the nickname because she loved superheroes but hated the letter "E". And also because she was addicted to heroin.

I love you
It’s simply the best. I’ve watched Breaking Bad and Prison Break and all that. I really like those shows, but the complexity and the characters of Lost just makes it stand out above the rest.
Yes, definitely. People go on about mysteries they never got the answer to, but the reality is that LOST is a character driven drama!
«Don’t tell me what I can’t do!» No TV show (or actor for that matter) can match that scene.
My favourite show ever as well.
The wire is better. Sopranos. Mad men.
But Lost will always be my fave.

Honestly it's something you love so much you hate and you hate so much you love.
It made absolutely no sense and you can tell they had no clue where to go with it or how to end it and the ending was both a cop out and perfect.
And Evangeline Lilly is bloody beautiful, idst.

Currently on season 2 episode 15. What annoys me the most is the irrational behaviour of the characters. I can’t stand Jack. Hate how he tries to intimidate people to do his bidding. And the way he uses domination/suppression techniques to push people down genuinely pisses me off 
. Sometimes he talks to Locke like he’s a child which is also annoying. He tries to be a leader, but always acts on his emotions rather than logic. I guess it’d be a boring show if people were highly rational though.
I also hate Claire. She’s absolutely useless and literally acts like a 10 year old all the time. God I can’t stand her.

So, bumping this as it's the big lost thread but just restarted this on Disney+ with the wife who's never seen it
Binged through two seasons within the last week or so. The first two seasons are great. I forgotten quite a few number of things but this show was a phenomenon for a reason.
The mystery around the island is great and makes you want to know more. But the characters and cast is brilliant
Season 1 is amazing and season 2 is almost as good. It's the perfect show for once a week when you want discussion and for it to be a big thing
The flashbacks to flesh out character mysteries is superb upto this point (one exception is that Libby was in hurleys past but I don't know if they ever expand on that)
The wife predicted the numbers pushing thing causing the plane to crash.
I also forgot how many deaths in the first two seasons there were. A helluva lot of episodes for a season but it worked.

We watched the whole way through for the first time recently. I’d watched a couple of episodes way back when it first came out but was too stoned at the time to really remember any of it.
It’s a seriously gripping show, particularly the first few seasons. One of the few shows I’d genuinely not want to stop watching. They went mental in the late stages but feck it, it was quality, probably my favourite show behind GoT.
I’m still in love with Juliet.
Hated that woman in the show. Her faced always bugged me, always had the smirk. "My whole family died"

F off. She nailed every scene.
Haha done the exact same thing. I’m on season 3 halfway through. It’s fantastic. I looked into the Libby thing. She got a DUI or something so had to write her out the show. Same with Ana Lucia. Ecko also quit, they had big plans for him (which they basically gave his scenes to Locke I think).
Rewatching it with the wife who has never seen it (or heard of it). She enjoyed the first two seasons, thought the third was decent, 4th was okay and the 5th season seems to be the end for her
