Is Lost worth watching for me?

[ArbitraryWater]

Is Lost worth it for 'me' ? I say "for me", because I remember a spoiler (spoiler ahead) post by KG215.. I'm not sure with the information of the post the enjoyment will be worth it.

I planned Lost to be the next TV Show I'll be watching... anyway, what I remember that post saying was something like, people looking for a monster or something, and I think he only adressed season 4.. but he did dismiss the fact that there was a monster.

His post went something like, 'Lost was such a mind**** show, you can't take your eyes off it for a few seconds, people were legit looking for an actual monster to be somewhere'... so yeah, now that I know this question will soon arise, and there likely will be none, is it still worth watching? Is this only a smaller portion of the show? Or the main plot?

edit: I will now use this thread for my personal review, episode to episode, spoilers included.

[DeuceWallaces]

That will have no impact on your enjoyment.

[Draz]

A few years ago I spent the entire day to dedicating an entire season. Would finish a few seasons a week. Was a great show. Up until the last season. I don't even think I watched her last episode. I doubt I did because I can't recall. I watched like a billion shows and didn't finish the dam season. I just dont know what to say about the show.

It's a good show. If you have a lot of time. First few seasons were great. The endings were not that great.

[Theoo]

nah that are not at all big spoiler that thing he talk about are like in the first episode so doesnt matter . lost were one my favorite show for long time definitely woth watch

[fiddy]

Waste of time. In short, not of the shit that happens is real.

[Draz]

Besides the fact Kate was pregnant for five seasons

[ArbitraryWater]

I can understand this is your attitude considering you don't watch any TV shows OR movies :lol


Besides the fact Kate was pregnant for five seasons

well thanks for that.. jk, sounds like a harmless "spoiler"

okay, Deuce's & theoo's words relieve me.

Hint: that was a major spoiler. My buddies watched all of it.

[NumberSix]

Worst series finale of all time.

WHY?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fiddy]

You are going be disappointed at the end. Try the wire if you havent watched it.

[dunksby]

WHY?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:roll: :roll:






















































Seriously though, he saved you a lot of time, I watched it week by week and felt stupid, insulted and betrayed at the end.

[WallIn]

First three seasons were epic. 4,5,6...not so.

I felt like the directors pretty much had no idea how to conclude a series so they came up with a confusing ending, to say the least.

[TylerOO]

That show sucks

[oarabbus]

This is how Lost goes:

Season 1 - "This might be one of the greatest shows of all time"
Season 2 - "Damn this show is truly incredible, still on pace for one of the greatest ever"
Season 3 - "Hmm maybe not the greatest ever but damn good. Wish there was some closure though"
Season 4 - "What is this bullshit? This shit is becoming terrible"
Season 5 - didn't watch. Thank god.


Season 1 is worth watching by itself, if you stop after. But if you watch it you'll probably keep watching, so might as well just skip that piece of shit show all together. Watch the wire like said above.

[ArbitraryWater]

Sounds like it had GOAT potential but disappointed/could have been better.. I guess I will still watch, done with the first ep right now, (spoiler) hard to think of any other way that pilot died than there being someone else, tbh.. and for the rest, the underwhelming part, I'll just try to ignore it or go with the imaginary ending to complete it.

[Suguru101]

I'm also deciding between Lost and The Wire. Might have to try and find an HD version of The Wire and see if the unintended mistakes in it don't make this too bad (show wasn't meant to be 16:9 HD, things show up that weren't supposed to be there.)

You ever finish MM?

Since I have Netflix right now, I really wanna try take an advantage of the HD and watch something on Netflix.. also, its hard to go back in terms of quality.. I would continue MM but its not available on Netflix Germany :ohwell:

[Draz]

Is "The Wire" on Netflix or HULU PLUS? I have both. I never checked it out. Lost had SUCH a great concept. I mean.. honestly. Stranded on an island after a few people survive from a plane crash. Each person has a past to them. It just started getting out of hand when they incorporated their silly shit. Honestly. THREE seasons MAX. To finish off the show. That's all they needed.

I hated the Finale, but it's a fun ride. I would recommend it, but if you haven't seen The Sopranoes are into mob/crime stuff that is the best show ever.

[SpecialQue]

If you like a handful of interesting characters arguing, people motivated by questionable reasons just to hide the mystery, and questions raised that never get answered, you might be into this show.

For what it's worth, my girl and I marathoned it a couple years back. The cliffhanger ending of each episode keeps you watching, but overall I'd say it's an average show with occasional glimpses of greatness.

Jesus Christ, if your choices are either Lost or The Wire, you fvcking jump on the Wire and don't look back.

[$LakerGold]

The ending confused the shit out of me. You should watch it, though. I fell inlove with the characters, as soon as that happened, I didn't care much about the plot. Well, I did hate Mr. Miyagi in the end. Shit was ridiculous. Everyone roamed around like they're at their house.

"Hi, Kate, nice to meet you here."
"Hi, Jack."
High-five then they go on about their business.

Last season was a mess.

It took me about a month and half to finish the show on Netflix.

[ArbitraryWater]

Well I just did the 2nd episode.. really liked it, mysterious, exciting.. want Zen's opinion :oldlol:


This is how Lost goes:

Season 1 - "This might be one of the greatest shows of all time"
Season 2 - "Damn this show is truly incredible, still on pace for one of the greatest ever"
Season 3 - "Hmm maybe not the greatest ever but damn good. Wish there was some closure though"

just checked the seasons, what about season 6 btw?

[ArbitraryWater]

Jesus Christ, if your choices are either Lost or The Wire, you fvcking jump on the Wire and don't look back.

I have a bunch of stuff listed to go check out, and I'm sure there is better than Lost out there (like Wire or Sopranos), but right now, I would rather watch this.. you need to be comfortable with what you're starting imo, I'm just going for what I feel for atm. Someone suggested Death Note a while ago to me, didn't feel it yet going over a quick description and what not, but now I'm getting closer to the idea of watching that.. It builds up, then you start at the opportune time.

[DeuceWallaces]

Don't listen to people bitching about Lost. Assuming you're not going to die in the next 6 months you should take the time to watch Lost, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, True Detective, etc. They all have their pluses and minuses but they're all great television shows that have arguments for being the top 10 all time.

death note are fk**ing SICK man that are also one the best show i have ever watch and i dont watch anime at all , but it are VERY good from 1st episode to last , it are on same level as breaking bad and lost and so on for me

[Draz]

Prison Break is also good. I preferred it over Lost. With Lost you fall in love with the characters not the plot.

[chazzy]

I enjoyed it. Looking back, most of the shows I've watched since then were superior in terms of writing/acting etc. But it's definitely a good experience overall with a little weirdness as it ends. You can definitely tell they didn't plan too much of the story beyond season 1 or 2 initially.

[Batz]

Prison Break season 1 is GOAT.

Season 2 was awesome.


Season 3 was a cluster**** but enjoyable. Not nearly as good.


Season 4 was hell 0/10 do not recommend.

[pauk]

PB season 1 is the greatest thing i ever seen, i think it should have just ended there or added more to that prison break story/draged out wonderfully to season 2.... and then end it with 2 creative episodes outside the prison perhaps or *** it why not just end it when they escaped adding a small conundrum...

Because after Season 1 it was no longer "Prison Break", more like "Chased by Cops", became not so special drama... became completely different, they escaped and that was it, there was no longer the spinechilling atmosphere of prison & inmates (some who were extremly epic, like T-Bag) at their correct environment to exploit & the Scofield genius master plan unfolding and so on....

Its kindof like Matrix trilogy, should have just ended where the actual end was supposed to be with the 1st one, no need to mess up the conundrum, would have been GOAT.

[dunksby]

Prison Break shat the bed after season one but unlike Lost the producers didn't try to paint it gold.

[ArbitraryWater]

Prison Break Season 1 was epic man.. perhaps my favorite season of any show ever.

Was horrible after S2 though.

Obviously, Prison Break's initial plot story was done with after Season 1.

Well, I've watched 3 eps of Lost so far, liked em all.. not sure why the last received 'mixed critics' according to Wiki.

Lost was my second favorite show behind prison break. Once you get attached to the characters, you're hooked and will watch every episode.

[robert de niro]

Lost is in my top 3 tv shows all time definitely, and to the people complaining of the "unanswered questions", you might not LIKE the answers, but they exist. Also, fiddy is wrong, like many people that had the show explained to them by others

[andgar923]

Lost may not be perfect, but it had the funnest ride of any show I've ever seen.

It was a show that used viral marketing better than anything else in history. You became hooked as a viewer and ran to the net to find out more clues about the show as soon as it was over. A highly engaging show that hasn't been topped so far in that aspect.

Most people are misguided as to what happened on the show.

Many others want spoon-fed answers and essentially take away part of the show's lore and mystery taken away. Although everything on the island has been explained (it has), not all of it needs a detailed explanation, some things just are what they are.

What happened HAPPENED!!!

TONS of people are wrong and have been lying to people.

So if you like mystery, sci-fi, drama, with humor, adventure, action and some romance thrown in... Lost is the show for you.

The end may not be to everyone's desire, but the ride to get there will be the most engaging you'll experience.

[andgar923]

Waste of time. In short, not of the shit that happens is real.

100% incorrect

[fiddy]

100% incorrect
Thats what i was told. Ive watched only the first two seasons on TV about 7-8 years go.

[LJJ]

Lost is just a massive cocktease. They set up the mystery and adventure really good in the first season, but they had no idea where they were going with it. Making shit up as you go along is just not a good way of writing a show like this.

[andgar923]

Thats what i was told. Ive watched only the first two seasons on TV about 7-8 years go.
They lied to you.

But sadly, many people believe that.

The show's ending isn't easy to digest, there's many layers to it and concepts that hadn't been explored on tv at that time, so there was some confusion. So to some degree, I can see how some were confused. But there are many more "viewers" that skipped some of the seasons and only tuned in for the finale, yet they spread out the false notion that "nothing happened" which is utterly incorrect.

What happened to them on the island DID HAPPEN. All the stuff they went through happened to them, it wasn't a dream, it wasn't purgatory, all of it happened.

The confusion lies in the final season's use of 'flash sideways' storytelling. Flash forward and flash backwards were easier to digest for most viewers, but flash sideways was a bit confusing. So people get lost and confused which lead to false assumptions.

Also, ALL mysteries are explained (at some point... some after the show ended).

John Locke is GOAT.

[ArbitraryWater]

I can't believe I'm crying lol (Charlie man... when he helped him out of their and threw the drugs in the fire)... what a great show, I feel so invested with these characters.. almost everyone. They did such a great job of detailing them.

Why did this mother****er hit Said over the head.. I was hoping so much for the woman and James to fire off the rockets, and get a signal.. Said needs some success right now, not everyone is believing in him, and as a whole they need some hope.

[ArbitraryWater]

I also like how they're not COMPLETELY abandoning the others.... I mean, we have a main cast here, but 48 people survived.. so I dont know, there are like 30 people on this Island we don't see much of obviously, but at least they're being acknowledged, at times seen in conversations with those from the main cast, or have their names mentioned.

[DeuceWallaces]

Been thinking about watching it again, but I have to finish Breaking Bad first.

Most people confuse Lost for a plot driven show, but this is a character driven one. Even the island itself is a character.

I always considered Lost as The Sopranos' successor when it comes to character study.

[Draz]

Wait till you see Kates tits

I forgot to say it last time, that kiss was awesome...

[DeuceWallaces]

Got to be 1st with Ethan.

[alenleomessi]

he is at episode 7 of season 1 charlie-centric 'the moth' from what i can tell
the next one is sawyer's centric 'confidence man'.. that was one of my favorites in season 1

[andgar923]

I have the worst memory.

I lost track of what is which.

[ArbitraryWater]

Season 1, ep 11 is next for me.. so Deuce that mean Ethan will be gone or what http://r28.imgfast.net/users/2813/22/97/24/smiles/2238782717.gif

but is Claire really gonna run around with this baby for 5 seasons now? they're talking about how she's gonna get it soon so... I'll watch 11 now, Ethan standing right infront of Claire and Charlier..

Locke is a boss. I dont know what he wants but he likes it there..he can be the man conquering the wild, like he always wanted. I wouldnt even care if he turns out to be like a bad guy, doubt it, but he's cool regardless.

My favorite part of Lost is:

"Previously, on Lost"

[Nick Young]

no. It's a shit show, enjoyed by simpletons and 2 and a half men fans.

[rufuspaul]

no. It's a shit show, enjoyed by simpletons and 2 and a half men fans.


Never watched 2 and half men. The first season of Lost was pretty cool for a network show at the time.

[andgar923]

My fav part of Lost was figuring out all the clues and Easter eggs sprinkled throughout.

Even some of the commercials were part of the show. The web sites created, the addresses, companies, Lost took viral marketing to unparalleled levels.

[ArbitraryWater]

John Locke is a ****in' beast...

episode 13 done with, I like how he's being portrayed right now.. his perception right now, mysterious, unsure about his plan, but everyone aware of the power he holds with nature.

Finally they got more into Boone and Shannon, too... and then, nice damn mind**** on the whole Shannon/Boone thing... was about to say 'I can't ****ing believe Shannon died.. she's the only one since the Pilot in the Pilot, that died this way, looking like they were pulled away from a Monster that detached them'... so know I'm thinking maybe the pilot in the opening episode didn't actually died, since it looked the same way? But there's still some patterns that need to match, Locke wasn't involved, no magic creme or whatever that was....

bit shocked at Boone saying he felt relieved when he thought she was dead, though.... especially with the pre-story, on him loving her and all... I'm sure he wishes she could knew what he just went through and did for her, or at least I wish that..

and obviously Claire is still alive since I heard about her keeping the baby stommach for 5 seasons :ohwell:

E12, I wish they would have kept the struggle for the suitcase between Jack and Kate more friendly, these two had this awesome chemistry thing going on between them before.. now there's some trust loss on her side, probably.

[ArbitraryWater]

Been stuck a bit, anyway, E16 (S1)... this was weird, when they burried Ethan you could see him breathing, laying on the ground...

I noticed Lost alot of the times 'fools' the crowd.. the camera is showing/zooming at these suspect angles, you'd think 'oh no! someone is coming up on him!' or 'nooo someone's there!!'...

I'm confused, I thought the murderer of James' mother (he witnessed under his bed), blew his head off / commited suicide? so who was the guy that awaited him in the Hotel room telling him about? Who was the guy James came to Australia (where he also met Jack's father) to kill for? Which he also did, just asking who he thought he was killing...

Lost will actually answer most of the questions you will have during the show.
You just have to pay attention. You will get your answers.
The first 3 seasons are the best.
The 1st season is one of the best of all-time.

[cuad]

First couple seasons were great. Afterwards it becomes clear that the writer, Lindelof, has no plan and is just throwing shit in there.

[ArbitraryWater]

shiiiit just binged like crazy... I only watched this many in a row with BrBa... done with the first season AND the first 3 of the 2nd... the Exodus ones were cool, but the start to the 2nd is even better.. so much shit happening. I have no clue who those guys are that keep Michael, Sawyer, Jin... not sure its the others.. doubt it are the same than those old beared white fisher men look alikes that took Mike's kid..

as for that button and all, I really wanted to see what happens if you dont push it... if something happens at all.. guess the time will come.

Hopefully they get the kid back, and Desmond guy, will probably work with them or something I imagine... have no idea what the deal is with the girl that Jack met at the Airport, who now works with those 'others' (supposedly)... still alot is confusing, but awesome.

I dont know how far you have Gotten, but the man that killed his mother was hus biological father, he killed her because she was conned by a confidence man, cheated on him and "invested" all his money for his scam and the guy ran away with it. So the man he was looking for was the con man.

Spoiler in case you're not here yet; sawyer took his name and started to run the same con as the man he was chasing. His actual name is James.

I liked it a lot, watched it every week as it came out. Honestly, I didn't like the ending but I thought it was a good show. Very confusing parts, and somewhere along the way it lost some of its mojo but I kind of liked the last season even though everyone else hated it.

Fav character was Sawyer by far. Fk Jack.

I liked crazy Jack. Such an Alpha when he was mad:applause:

[ArbitraryWater]

so Jack's father pretty much met the whole crew before the plane crash eh :oldlol:

[ArbitraryWater]

These episodes to end season 2 (not done yet) are once again classic, same shit happened in season 1... just top notch stuff to end it.

[ArbitraryWater]

When Locke was in the sweat lodge, sweaty and having visualizations, I wanted him to fully turn into Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now :oldlol:

[ArbitraryWater]

wtf...................... they killed off Eko like that?! HUH? LOST?!

[andgar923]

wtf...................... they killed off Eko like that?! HUH? LOST?!

Eko wasn't planned to be killed so soon and was actually gonna play a key role in the show. But the actor was being selfish so the producers had to make a decision and kill him.

[imdaman99]

I liked crazy Jack. Such an Alpha when he was mad:applause:
Crazy Jack... for a guy that had it all, he sure complained/whined a lot. I understand he was f'ed up because of his father or whatever, but he still had it made. He was a young successful doctor who had a wild partying side where he could bang any chick he wanted. His obsession to fix everyone/everything :wtf:

I just loved everything about Sawyer. Got dealt a shitty beginning and turned to the dark side but then... OK, I don't think I'm really spoiling for AW but I'll stop lol

So he was selfish because he asked to be taken off the show, so that he could go take care of his parents who were sick?

[alenleomessi]

what episode are you at? late season 3 is where shit goes down.. probably the peak of the show.. make sure you get some popcorn ready.. and a box of tissues.. no, not for nude scenes

:oldlol: I see what you mean.. I like when Jack in that first episode in the Hydra just bent Juliett over and said Im getting outta here... alpha Jack. I like Sawyer, I wanted to like him and now I'm comfortable with it, he's also pretty funny.

I was confused about it and figured some RL stuff interacted, Wiki says the weather in Hawaii bothered him and he wanted to be back in London... I can't believe that, tbh.

S3 E8 is next, 'Flashes Before Your Eyes', its the first 9+ rated episode this season via Imdb, assuming its about Desmond, who's absolutely one of my favorite characters so far.

seriously Lost gonna peak? I thought season 1 was like peak.. thats at least what the consensus is, I guess.. while reading these AV Club reviews I learned that the show was pressured by the Network with their scheduling (why do Networks have to do that :rant ), so they kinda held back to start the 3rd season, but had to build up anticipation for the end... and these last episodes to end the season, are once again all pretty much rated A :dancin

The Dharma Initiative is such a secretive thing, still... I love it.. that Asian guy who does all the Introduction Videos, he's perfect for that role.. he brings so much mystique. Can't wait for the bigger reveal on all that.

[Draz]

Wait till jack dies you'll be pissed

I didn't hear that.

From what I remember he was making demands so they had to let him go. Unless those rumors were false.

[imdaman99]

Jack > Sawyer
Yeah, if I wanted to hear whining daddy issues.

Sawyer's nicknamings >>>>>>>>> anything Jack ever brought to the table

Sawyer is the greatest thing about the show.

[dunksby]

Something that always bugged me, Jack seemed like that it wasn't his first time on the island, especially during the first season and the first fiveor something episodes.
Spoilers: show starts with him becoming conscious and since then you mostly see him do stuff with purpose and least amount of PTSD. He even runs directly to the beach where the plane had gone down, but he doesn't find it until he hears the screams.
Also we witness Jack boarding the same flight and drinking waiting to see if it would crash? I know we get to see them return properly but I think the writers did on purpose but just didn't follow up on it.

[imdaman99]

Sawyer is the greatest thing about the show.
Definitely this. He is the one who makes the greatest strides. He is known as the horder earlier while Jack is the leader who sacrifices himself for the group. As the seasons go on, Jack continues to disappoint while Sawyer with his fun and joyous personality continues to impress.

Jack's prime was the first few episodes, Sawyer started out as a mean bully but earns the love and trust of almost everyone over time. Basically Jack is Tyreke Evans and Sawyer is Anthony Davis. It's no contest, Sawyer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jack.

[Milbuck]

WALT!!!

WAAAAAALLLLLLTTTTT!!!!!!!!

[ArbitraryWater]

The Man Behind The Curtain was :bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

alen, you may be right.. this finale is shaping up to to be awesome, more answers waiting... and next episode looks to be Desmond/Locke centered, another plus point.

[ArbitraryWater]

YOU AREEE EVERYBODY! YOU AREEEE EVERYBODAY! ya

[Giaodollo]

Sawyer is the greatest thing about the show.
Shut up Captain falafel

[ArbitraryWater]

Damn, they're totally rewriting history with Jack lying about Kate saving everyone on that Island.. :lol also they said just EIGHT people stranded in the first place... so that means the other 40(50?)+ supposedly died immediately, and only 6 made it back.... as we know, Jack later wants to go back to the Island... maybe Claire is still there, likely dead though, since Kate has her baby (lol)...

[ArbitraryWater]

Damn, the next episode is the highest rated of the ENTIRE show :eek:

I could watch it now, sit back with a Beer and food, or wait til Wednesday, perhaps last day of class EVER, and have a big ass summer vacation infront of me, and then sit back.... decisions decisions

Best series ending ever.

This time travel think has always been sketchy af... It really makes no sense. So these guys continously come from the future to past places where no one knows them yet, okay, but what are they doing in their CURRENT state? No time traveling, what are they doing in that moment right now, 2006 or whatever?

And are these just dream sequences? Because did Richard remember Locke coming to him in 1954, did this really happen at the time in 1954? He did visit him in 1956 at his birth, then later again asking him about the Compass, yet somehow thought even though he literally time traveled which is only possible if you probably did some serious shit on the Island, that he wasn't 'chosen' to be one of the leaders?

[ArbitraryWater]

Oh and, how did Richard get the Compass in the first place? He had it with him in, 2002 (?) maybe? When those drug dealers' plane crashed? Then Locke got it.... all the way back to 1954, gave him the Compass again? What kind of weird ass circle is this?

And did he ask him in 1959 or so when he visited young Locke about the Compass, because he rememberd older Locke owning it, in the future? "Which of these things belong to you already?" ? Okay, this is still really muddy.

BTW, what the hell happened to Claire on that Island? Last time she was together with the Chinese guy and Sawyer, then ran away in the middle of the night... met her father aka Jack's father and was in the Cabin in which Locke came.. were those illusions? ghosts? How did she die? He is already dead, suppedly..

Lost's time travel is the best time travel theory I've seen, there's an episode in which Hurley and someone else discuss it from a fan's pov. A very funny scene with the writers once again poking fun of themselves and showing how they search the boards and listen to fans.

It honestly it... its tough to grasp but I don't think Lost has really made a factual error yet in all these flash forwards/backwards and both at the same time...

which "episode" do you mean?

You said they used marketing and clues better than any other show.. and its probably true since I also read that when fans commented on the bracelets Sayid's first love and the woman he had an affair with in Germany had, Lost writers thought about possibly connecting those later on (it wasnt even planned).. so they were definitely open to suggestions as each season passed by, pretty much invented that stuff in the summer each year... (obviously they went into this show with a bunch of options ready, I'm sure)

This Lost 'downfall' sure is weak.. these late seasons are still holding up well.

Here's some info regarding their viral marketing: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Lost_Experience

There's much more to that, I'll see if I can find some of them. The internet was riddled with easter eggs. They also did a great job at selecting songs, books, background set design, audio cues, etc etc that served as easter eggs and gave clues to what was happening, what happened, and what may happen (at times for seasons to come).

Bad Robot (JJ Abrams' production company) the company behind Lost also did a great job at promoting Cloverfield through viral marketing. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2008/01/15/cloverfield-a-viral-guide

One has to remember that this sort of shit was still infant, and all very cryptic which only teased the shit out of us (geeks). The viral campaign was an event onto itself, you felt like you already knew the characters, you saw MySpace posts, clicked on links that led to another link that led to more clues, it was bananas.... same thing with Lost. You ckilcked on a link and nothing really happened, then forward to a weeks later and someone on a board posts something about that link now being active, and that leads to more information, and more deciphering and so forth.

I sound like a geek but it's really hard to explain. It's something that you had to experience at that moment in time to fully grasp it.

Which is why til this day I still say Lost is the best experience I've ever had bar none. May not be the best show, but nothing comes close when you consider the entire experience. GOT has nothing on Lost in that aspect, but only some of us 'geeks' were bored enough to fully experience it.

You should've been part of it.

[andgar923]

I just saw some crazy shit!

The Dharma Initiative logo appears in Cloverfield, and the Cloverfield monster appears in Lost.

who knows.. maybe I was, but I just don't know it yet :crazysam:

[ArbitraryWater]

I really dont know whats best for the Island and our people right now.. if they should go back or not.. Ben comes across way more sensible, he just as Locke wants to save the Island, he's getting advise straight from Daniel Faraday's mother, and they've said they need to go back... then of course none of the Oceanic Six initially want to go back, and that one chick that just told Daniel before dying that she grew up in the DI, said nobody should go back, 'this place is death'... and I know I'm forgetting someone who vouched for one side of this conflict.

The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham..

All questions are answered.
You're an asshole. :roll:

[ArbitraryWater]

Finished... nice show, been searching for answers on questions Lost did or didn't provide clarity on for hourrssssss....

I tried looking at it like this..

The Island had 2 brothers, 2 watchers... one of them picked to be its protector. They were opposites of each other, Yin and Yang, good and bad... yes, Yin and Yang, because we need both...

They both exist, they both have a purpose. Good and bad, as represented by white and black.... 'Backgammon is the oldest game in the world. Two players, two sides. One is light, one is dark" Pilot, Part 2.

God created Devil, for one to evolve, for tests... Jacob created Smokey, and Smokey also tried to kill Jacob since forever.

Nobody is completely good or bad. If this balance is taken away, then the universe in which humankind exists must cease to be because there can only be humanity when both extremes exist. MIB must only be prevented from leaving the island.

The unique place, the Island, is a special bridge between Earth and Heaven. The Light source, the anchor of the island, of all of life and being everywhere. One protects it 'as long as he can'... Jacob wants this unique place to be protected, so he chooses candidates.

Jacob doesn't care much about someone's past once they're on the Island.. he can tell what they were, he knows they have something better in them, something more deserving, and he wants them to learn themselves, as he literally said.

God (I'm speaking on common religious beliefs which I find reasonable) wants to help us, too, as long as we confess, as long as we search to be better. But we have to be responsible for it. We need to make our own choices, as Locke urged Charlie to with his drugs.

God can't make the decisions for us. He can't work for us, he can help us, if we do our past we progress.

that really only comes into the play the last 2 seasons, I think... time traveling was introduced in the 4th season.

[joshwake]

Hint: that was a major spoiler. My buddies watched all of it.
Your buddy didn't understand the ending then. The last season was definitely the worst, but it's all still worth watching. Final seasons/episodes rarely live up to the hype.

[joshwake]

Prison Break season 1 is GOAT.

Season 2 was awesome.


Season 3 was a cluster**** but enjoyable. Not nearly as good.


Season 4 was hell 0/10 do not recommend.
This is something I can agree with. Season 1 of prison break was amazing, then it just gets worse every season to unwatchable at the end.

[ArbitraryWater]

Top 6 show for me...

this is how I'd rate the seasons:

S1: 10/10
S2: 9.5/10
S3: 9/10
S4: 7.5/10
S5: 7/10
S6: 6.5/10

surprised to see a Lostpedia theory say The Man in Black actually isn't Smokey...

[ArbitraryWater]

Soo, everything Lost connected that says 'purgatory' means hell?!

Interesting. How would you rate Breaking Bad and Thrones?

I know Mad Men would be all 9s apart from the 2nd season.

[ArbitraryWater]

When do you think everyone died? It just makes less sense when you think about events happening from scenes, were supposedly this guy was still alive but he the other was dead..... and how did Jack really die...

[Straight Pimpin]

It's ight.

S4: 10/10
S5: 10/10

I know, very simple but thats how good it is IMO...

GoT not finished with the 2nd Season, but I'd rate the first 9/10.

So, you think MM's 2nd season was better or worse than the rest?

[ArbitraryWater]

Anyone ever noticed the numbers added up equal to 108 (108 minutes)?

Realized it few weeks back.. pretty irrelevant but cool none the less, I guess.

7 part 1: 9.5
7 part 2: 10

I meant high 9's apart form the 2nd season. They're all amazing, 2 just had a rough character that got too much screen time.

[ArbitraryWater]

1: 9.5

Bobbi Barrett yeah, true.. back on MM again, had a break and needed it, but been watching alot again, about to enter the 4th season :applause:

Some of them died on the island and others died away from the island. Those who got to escape on the helicopter at the end, they died away from the island. Jack died on the island (the last scene of the show).
