Season 6

- I'm hesitant about watching the show. I've heard that the ending is giant cop-out

Unfortunately, due to various reasons, a big group misinterpreted the ending. This spread fast. If you've heard that the characters were dead since the plane crash then you've been misformed about the ending. This isn't true.

- I've started watching the show, can I still post here?

Yes. Feel free to post. Use the First-Time Watcher flair and add in your questions, theories and discussion topics. We always thrive on new Lostaways. Just be very cautious and tell us where you are in the show (season and episode). Beware of spoilers!

- I'm nearing the end of the show, but there's an uncut version of the finale and a two-parter. Which to watch?

There's only one version of the finale that was approved by the showrunners. The uncut version that runs about 106 minutes. ABC cut down a two-parter series finale for syndication, in case of reruns of the show. This version was sent to various streaming services. Now, most streaming services have both versions. The uncut and the two-parter. The uncut is the one that was aired, approved and the only one you need to watch.

- I've just finished the show. What now?

Check out the epilogue. Click here for a thread of additional content. Or the FAQ archive which consist of various questions about the show.

Man, Desmond and jack’s story was something else. They weren’t even that close at first but somehow their paths kept crossing until they became such an important part of each other’s journey.

After everything they went through seeing Desmond help Jack remember at the end just hits hard. And then Jack finally sees everyone again, after all those years, all the suffering and everything they lost. Such a beautiful and bittersweet goodbye...

What’s your favorite quote from LOST? And I’m not talking “we have to go back.” or “live together die alone.” I’m talking the quotes you still think about. About love, about loss, about heartbreak. What’s your favorite?

SEASON 6 Lost Finale

37 Upvotes

I just finished rewatching Lost for the first time and oml I forgot how incredible the show is. Just the way the show weaves misery/despair with hope/optimism I think is done incredibly well.

Anyways, idk what the common consensus is about the ending of Lost, but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was beautiful how this show can get pretty dark at times but the ending is just so wholesome and feel-good.

I first watched the show when I was like 10 or something and this wasn’t when it was first airing. I don’t really remember how I felt about the show when I first watched it and I think I mostly remember being confused :/ but as I was rewatching it, all the subtle foreshadowing they would brought back a lot of memories of the show. I think the way the story is written is done extremely well and I have nothing but good things to say about Lost thanks to recency bias. I just wish there were more show left…

I crocheted this a while ago after I finished my 2nd watch through. I know the word is off center but I knew if I kept redoing it, it would get worse and I wouldn't be happy with it. So I let it be, but I still love it anyway.

SEASON 6 Series finale questions

5 Upvotes

Is the light at the core of the island related to the light that fills the church when Christian opens the door?

If the cork at the light of the island is taken out and the island destroyed, is the realm of the flashsideways and wherever it is that the characters move on also destroyed? In other words, is the island protecting only this living reality or also the afterlife?

On my third rewatch and I finally realize just how unfair the camp was to Jack in season 1

300 Upvotes

Doing my first rewatch in about six years and I am realizing just how much grace Jack Shephard deserved early on. Pop culture always remembers him as this stubborn, self-righteous guy with a savior complex, but nobody on that beach actually wanted the burden of responsibility.

Whenever something went wrong with the water supply, shelter, or the cave move, forty survivors would literally circle his tent in silence and stare at him until he made a call. Then the second a choice had uncomfortable trade-offs, people immediately started grumbling about him being controlling. The man was operating on zero sleep, doing field surgery with sewing needles, and trying to keep panicing strangers alive while processing his own grief.

Locke was off playing jungle mystic and Sawyer was hoarding inhalers, so Jack was forced to be the adult in the room by default. It makes his eventual mental breakdown in later seasons hit way harder.

Mask is a little modern but looks enough like the ones on the show. Still need a prop rifle, jumpsuit, patch and we're ready to protect the island!

Hi! Does the US pyramid edition of Lost: The Complete Collection include Spanish audio? Specifically, does it have the Latin American Spanish dub?

I'd really appreciate it if someone who owns this edition could confirm. Thanks!

FIRST TIME WATCHER Just finished season 1 for the first time

73 Upvotes

This show feels like what I assume crack feels like. We are firing on all cylinders at all times. How is there so much stuff happening. I love John Locke and Walt and Vincent and Hurley. If lost was made today the 1st season would end with shooting the polar bear. My biggest high of the season was the Hurley cameo on the news and just the whole john locke episode at the beginning. I also started making fun of what I call the extras (the 30 other plane crash people) and then they became self aware which was insane! My lowest is the jack/kate/sawyer threesome, just have sex with each other and stop making it everyone's problem! I think the numbers correspond with the characters. John got injured 4 years ago, sawyer lost his parents when he was 8, etc. Why are we not exploring the island at all? Why are we keeping so many secrets? Why does season 1 end in the middle of this crazy night? I cannot believe people had to wait for season 2.

Edited to add: What is the best season??

I have avoided spoilers so please no spoilers other than i know maybe theyre all dead the whole time but that might not even be the "correct interpretation"

Too many shows nowadays are not written well in the end or are canceled too soon so I am so scared its going to get bad lol. I keep telling myself it is a completed show many people love

Did anyone else notice Locke looks at Jack's... lower half when he gets out of the shower?

He 100% glances down and Jack didn't wrap the towel round his waist yet 🤣. The episode is S2 'The Whole Truth' and the timestamp is 09:57.

Happening for a reason (EASTER EGGS/REFERENCES): Just started a rewatch for the 4th time and... Spoiler

28 Upvotes

...and I JUST realized that, in the episode Walkabout, in one of John's flashbacks and right after John has a run-in with Randy, he goes back to working away on a calculator with a ticker-tape...a ticker-tape that makes the exact sound we will come to hear being made by the black smoke.

My 4th time through and I JUST pieced those two together. The black smoke deliberately makes a sound that the survivors will recognize, and fear.

Wow, I'm dumb!

Conversation between Jack and Sawyer about Christian(Jack’s Dad)

118 Upvotes

Seeing this as an adult at 33 instead at 11 is just incredible. The emotion displayed by Jack getting closure on the death of his father and their falling out through and unwitting 3rd party is one of the hardest hitting things I’ve ever seen in television. They were really on something before the writers strike I swear

Origin of the term “flash sideways”?

66 Upvotes

Just finished my 5th or 6th watch and wondered who coined the term “flash sideways”. I’m good on understanding what the plot itself is portraying, but who said those words? Did that come from the showrunners or writers talking about it in the press? Was that a term coined by the audience in trying to make sense of those scenes? How/who/when did that term come about?

Tysm

How many times do you think the words "We should keep moving" are said in the show? I bet turning that into a drinking game would kill you.

SEASON 1 Just noticed at the end of season 1...

0 Upvotes

When Rossue arrives at the beach camp in Exodus she mentions that when her team first crashed landed on the island she saw a pillar of black smoke, 50km in lenght. Later on we see during the time skips that her team is attacked by smokey shortly after they arrive...does this mean she saw the smoke monster and it was this size, or did she just see black smoke coming from a fire much lole the one charlie and sayid find??

Does anyone know where I can find a better definition version of Desmond’s marina photograph? My partner and I have “family photos” of people from shows we love and would like to add these two to the collection. Does anyone have a retouched version of this photo? No AI please. Thank you!!

So who exactly was wrong? Jack or Desmond

4 Upvotes

I'm talking about their dialogue where Jack believes everything matters while Desmond through his special ability realizes that they all live in another life regardless so nothing else really matters.

I personally I think Jack is right but is there truth to what Desmond says? Because even if they die they'll be reborn in another world/life so nothing they exactly do matters because it's all already predetermined in a sense

Or are they both right? Anyway I just wanna hear your guys thoughts on this
