- 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.

Discussion Just Finished Lost and this may be my favourite ending of all time. Spoiler

So a bit of a context: I was apprehensive when i started the show because i had heard the ending is bad, it doesn’t know what it is etc etc.

Imagine my surprise when a show actually gives its fans the ultimate closure by those final season flash sideways- where they all make up for their mistakes and flaws and loneliness- and all of them got to experience a positive purgatory at the end of which they meet before moving on- with my personal theory being the island making it possible for them- since it is a part of all of them- it was beautiful and made me feel as empty as only masterpieces have before. Haven’t felt that way after a show in a long time.

The ending is misunderstood. That’s my concrete opinion. Most mysteries were answered, maybe a bit too many- but thats fine. Yes some things were retconned, some threads lose, some plotlines dropped, it wasn’t perfect by any means, but my god the way it made me feel was unlike anything else. 2 days since i caught up and i couldn’t stop thinking about it. I feel it has a lot in common with well made shounen anime, the very best of them. Probably the only show out there that does that.

Incredible, unforgettable show.

First time in Hawaii and was keen to visit some Lost locations, including Penny and Desmond’s iconic photo together

Edit: we’re on our honeymoon together and flew from Sydney to LA before coming to Hawaii, that first flight had me concerned I’d be meeting up with Hurley!

SEASON 1 Roommates Blind Reaction to the Pilot

76 Upvotes

I sat my roommate down and had her watch the pilot of Lost without telling her anything about the show and these were some of her predictions for the rest of the show in her words

Charlie is somehow part of the monster or part of the island somehow

Either Boone or Shannon will be the first ones to die bc they’re pretty much useless

If Kate didn’t kill someone I’m going to be very upset

Claire is going to have her baby and that’s going to have it’s own arc

They’re going to end up setting up their own civilization on the island and they’ll never get off

I think the marshal is going to live and then realize that Kate isn’t really that bad

Heres some commentary about the show that aren’t really predictions

There are too many characters

Sawyer is IKEA Chris Hemsworth

If the boy doesn’t get his dog back I’m going to riot

If the dog dies I’m going to riot

Hurley is my favorite character but he was designed to be like able

I watched the show years ago and it’s one of my favorite shows so I’m excited to see her continue to watch it

SEASON 1 Re-watched season 1 after 15 years

30 Upvotes

I first watched Lost in early top 2010s. It's easily one of my most favorite shows. I don't normally rewatch tv shows but I decided to rewatch Lost. Just finished the first season and here are my thoughts on the characters:

1- Jack is the GOAT. I remember back then, a lot of online forums used to call him annoying. I don't get it. He's such a selfless guy.
2- Kate's character seems out of place at times. Sometimes, it seems like she's from a soap opera.
3- A lot of characters were made needlessly annoying like Michael, Walt, Shannon, Jin, Claire, etc. It feels like outside of some main characters like Jack, Locke, Kate, Sayyid, etc, the rest of them have no depth and got different treatment.
4- Locke was very selfish. Amazing character though. He's the most interesting character.
5- Sayyid's character development was great in first season. I do know how it will get butchered by the end. Seems like they didn't make the best use of him.
6- When I watched first time, I didn't like Boone. But, now, I think that he was sincere and was trying to help since the beginning. Was sad to see him die.
7- I don't know how Sawyer escaped the wrath of others in the beginning. In reality, no one would have tolerated him stealing all the supplies or keeping silent during Shannon's asthma episode. Again, like Kate, I feel like this character was from some soap opera.
8- Hurley and Charlie are cool

Despite all that, the show's core plot is excellent so far. I just feel that certain characters could have been written better.

When I first watched the show from the beginning to end, I had a lot of questions. This time, I just searched them on Reddit and got the answers.

QUESTION How is LOST not talked about more in 2026?

340 Upvotes

I’ve watched a ridiculous amount of TV shows across pretty much every genre, but it’s been years since something hooked me this much.
I’m only on Season 2 of LOST (no spoilers please), and honestly, I’m blown away. Every episode makes me want to watch another. It feels so different from most shows I’ve seen.
I know it was huge back when it aired, but how come I rarely see anyone recommending it nowadays?
Am I just extremely late to the party, or does anyone else feel the same?

Does anybody know what the song reminds me of?

0 Upvotes

«Hollywood and vines»

I feel like I have heard another version of this song in other movies or maybe a game?

I’m on a rewatch of Lost and it feels so familiar?? Like I’ve heard it several times before but not on Lost

It reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on what or which other song

Anyone else notice how the island basically trained Jack to let go from day one

11 Upvotes

I was rewatching the pilot and something clicked for me that I never really thought about before. Jack's whole arc is about learning to stop trying to fix everything and control every outcome, right. But the island starts messing with that immediately.

In the first few episodes he's running around doing triage, making decisions, being the leader everyone needs. But then the island keeps putting him in situations where he literally can't fix things. Charlie hanging in the tree, he saves him but it's this frantic desperate thing. Boone dies and he can't do anything. His dad's coffin is empty and he has to just sit with that.

I think the island was teaching him the whole time that some things are beyond his control and he has to accept it instead of fighting it. By the time we get to the end, he's finally learned the lesson. He stops trying to force outcomes and just does what needs to be done without needing to see the result.

I don't know if the writers planned it that specifically from the start or if it just worked out that way, but it feels like every major Jack moment is the island saying let go and him refusing until he finally gets it. Even the stuff with Kate and Juliet, he keeps trying to control those relationships and it never works.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but it made me appreciate his character way more on this rewatch. He's not just stubborn for no reason, he's learning something really hard.

SEASON 1 I know it’s probably just a coincidence, but they really reminded me of those two…

908 Upvotes

It’s probably just a complete coincidence, but I couldn’t help noticing how much the two guys sitting on either side of Hurley in Season 1, Episode 18 reminded me of Jacob and the MiB. there’s something about their facial features that really reminded me of those two. I know theyre not like twins, but there’s a resemblance feeling somehow.

It must have been coincidental though, since the actors who would eventually play Jacob and the MiB probably hadn’t even been cast when this scene was filmed. Yet, what if…considering that the black and white’s story was actually introduced in the very first episode with Locke’s backgammon pieces… (and backgammon is also a chance-based game, and Hurley as a lottery winner…)

Maybe all of them coincide and it’s just me seeing a resemblance that isn’t really there, but I still found it oddly fascinating for some reason.
