Watching with friends and discussing on Texags was at least half the experience for me.

I first watched it when a friend lent me and my roommate Seasons 1-2 on DVD in 2006, and we watched them freshman year in the weeks before Season 3 premiered. We pretty much blasted through it.

By the time of Seasons 5-6, I'd moved into an apartment with two friends (guy who lent me the DVDs and got me into the show, and another friend who loved the show), so we'd all watch every new episode on Wednesday nights and then discuss our theories for a solid half hour after each episode.

Then of course I'd come on here and discuss the show the rest of the week.

I associate LOST very closely with my whole college experience. Was a fun time.

Remember when Redstone spoiled "We have to go back?" the day of the S3 finale?

I was fortunate to have missed that one.

17 years later, however, I still remember that jackass doing that.

Very timely post. My mother-in-law is visiting, fell, and is immobile so we started rewatching Lost with my 17 year old daughters. They. Are. Enamored.

They can't get enough...watching 3 episodes a night and can't wait to start again the next evening.

My wife and I watched it live and even hosted watch parties at our house. I can relate to reading the message boards, speculating, and then being wrong every time...and we loved it! It was a great live experience.

I'm BORED with the second viewing. I know there are some great moments coming up but I can't get over the feeling that they reeled us in with no plan and just played us all for fools week after week. I'm a hater but I can't say anything because I don't want to ruin the fun for my daughters who are experiencing it for the first time.

I know he'll show up here soon enough, bc mentioning his name is a bat signal, but for posterity:

" I don't even like the show, and have never seen a full episode."

And he ruined the whole thing by copying and pasting spoilers from elsewhere on a show he didn't even like or watch.

What a time though. An 81 page thread just on that season.

Totally forgot that there was a year that existed where we actually considered that Heroes (lolololol) might have become a better show.

This thread should be a sticky at the top of the ENT board . What a dumbass. ANd just over and over with the BS justification. Miserable.

Watching it live was amazing (I was even ok with the ending). Trying to figure out stuff week to week, listening to podcasts, reading theories, etc.

Tried to get back into it on Netflix and it's just not the same for me without all that.
also the fact that Mathew Fox (who I had always liked)

was kicked out of Hollywood for beating his wife or something like that

I was a big fan of Lost when it was running, but it went a season too long and half of their plotlines ended up going nowhere

I had never seen in any media before that suddenly it was okay to commit incest with your step sister



then Game of Thrones raised the bar.

Could I introduce you to Cruel Intentions?

(A fantastic movie, btw).

Which showed up several years before LOST?

Who's your favorite cast member?

Get back to us when you finish it.

My favorite character was the Smoke Monster that mysteriously disappeared towards the end of the series and was never really explained. Kinda encapsulated the whole show in one character.

The SMoke Monster is the Man in Black. They explained it, maybe 35 times.

I distinctly remember after "we have to go back" posting something like Heroes ends the season on a high note and then LOST comes along and says let me show you how it's done

I didn't watch Lost live even though I remember everyone talking about it. I always hear people talk about how it's one of their favorite shows. Well I tried to watch it about a yhear ago and got about 8 episodes in and turned it off.

The show is not good. It's not a good twist or surprise if you just make random **** up, of course nobody expects these things because you just throw in whatever you think of that week.

Did you have a stroke or develop amnesia around the final season by chance?

You know how to enjoy the show (for those of you complaining about it)?

Stop watching it for the mystery.

Yeah, yeah, that's the underlying plot mechanism, but truthfully this was a show about a group of metaphorically lost people who had to find their way to a place of peace. And in that regard this show delivered in spades.

Watch it for the characters and their development (except Nikki and Paulo, go ahead and skip tgose episodes) and you'll love it. This show has some of the best character development in tv history and that's why its very high on my alltime favs list.

If you don't walk away loving Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Desmond, Juliet, Hurley, Locke, Sayid, Jin, and Sun...well, I don't know what to tell you.

My wife and I started watching LOST during the second to last season. We ended up getting the DVD of the first season from Netflix (this was pre-streaming) and liked it so much we ended up buying up all the available seasons and binge watching them over the course of a summer. We'd stay up till 2AM some nights watching, just couldn't get enough....great memories. I've tried going back and rewatching it all the way through but life is just too busy these days.

Wasn't a huge fan of the show, but it was OK to discuss theories, especially ideas of purgatory as I was converting to Catholicism in late 2005.

It's one thing to post spoilers.

It's another to copy/paste them from somewhere else, make no apologies for it, and then continue to act as if you did nothing wrong.

Worst kind of poster on the EB.

Agree. Posters should not do that. All spoilers should use the sp tags, which is what I've always done.

If you'd just admit you were a huge a-hole about the whole thing, imagine the good you could do.

Dude- your dumb ass did not use one single "sp" tag.

Nor, per your own words, had you ever even watched a full episode of the show.

And you lifted spoilers, on a show you claimed to never have seen a full episode of, and called it "speculation".

And then, 17 years later, you popped back in to talk about a show you never watched a full episode of.

Which, like clockwork, I said you would show up and do.

And of course, you didn't even make it half a day.

My favorite part about him claiming to use spoiler tags is that they didn't exist on this website in 2007

I generally respect the fandom of others, but never understood the appeal of Lost. And sure enough it petered out into nonsense, exactly like I predicted on old thread. Showrunners now have a well established pattern of disappointing audiences.

Criticism today of a show that started 20 years ago.

Where were you in 2004? Kindergarten?

How would you have any idea? Because as you made sure to tell us, you never even saw a full episode. While you spoiled it.

But here you are again, 17 years later, still talking about something you've never seen.

Introduced my kids to the first 3 episodes tonight. One is already 10000% hooked. All I told her was that every character has at least one secret.

Both horrified watching Charlie do heroin. The scared straight program is working wonders at the school

JJ Abrams is the king of intriguing plot points with little payoff or long-term plan.

I loved Lost when it was on. One of my favorite shows week to week. Still consider it a great character drama. But the producers were totally just throwing **** at the wall the last few seasons.
