But the producers were totally just throwing **** at the wall the last few seasons

You have to give them a little bit of credit, bc they were the first to ever just walk away and be able to wind that down with them.

In 2007, you weren't able to just shut down a hit network show with a 3 year plan.

John's episode, Walkabout, S01E04, is where I was truly hooked.

That's our next one to watch.

Loved John Locke

The John Locke from the early seasons was great.

I'm not looking forward to watching Ben Linus mentally destroy him over time.

As my girls watched the first meeting with the smoke monster last night, I got these responses on what they thought it was.

A gator. Like a really big gator
A leopard
A tiger
A giant tarantula

Keep us updated on their reaction when they realize it's just an angry little brother

The Wire is tops

L0ST is the best TV show of all time. No others come close.
Am I right or am I right?

Stream now on Netflix.

Who's your favorite cast member?

---

Jesus, no. Not even close.

Girls and I watched Walkabout a while ago. Still excellent. Neither one of them saw it coming about Locke, although it's remarkable how many hints they give. Question of the night was one of them saying, "Is there something in his shoe?" when they keep showing him looking at his toe.

I did a rewatch a few years back. It was very good to start off then I'm assuming the writers strike and laziness took hold. I did enjoy the finale but there was a noticeable decline.

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.

Why the **** would he do this? I can't stand people deliberately not using spoiler tags

We should definitely use spoiler tags when discussing sensitive speculations - the decent thing to do, which is why I do.

Best TV show ever? No. It began to flail
Best pilot ever? It's up there

Kate was the hottest
Sawyer was my favorite

I did initially have Jack as my favorite but Sawyer became so likeable

I'm currently rewatching it and I'm on the 5th episode. Brings back some good memories. Lots of this I had forgotten

I miss shows like Lost. It's probably the main reason why I don't love the binge watching model of streaming TV. I really enjoyed everyone talking about the same episode the next day. Nowadays, you have to be so careful about discussing a TV show because you never know if someone will spoil something for you, or if you'll spoil something for someone else. Even a show like House of the Dragon, which is released weekly, is difficult because there are so many people who spoil stuff because they know the source material. Lost definitely has its problems, but it is still my favorite "TV Experience."

Well said. I never watched the show until I binged watched post finale, and I never felt like I had anyone to talk to about theories or scenes as it was already over live. Definitely missed that, but was able to enjoy two seasons of GOT with it live.

Funny side note: ABC had a 1 hour recap prior to the 2 hour finale. I had several friends recommend that I watch the 1 hour recap and let me know when my "head exploded" trying to understand everything... I couldn't follow a damn thing, but my head exploded when the "island disappeared". They took bets on when I gave up on it.

Such a great show........for two seasons.

THIS.

I rewatched a few years back and still loved it. One of my all time favorites. Was it crazy at times and did it have some misses? Sure, but it was an amazing ride and overall great.

On original airing I was in from episode 1. I watched the finale live and didn't know what to make of it. After time time to process I rewatched the next day and was a crying mess.

What always drove me nuts was the crowd that would complain "they were dead the whole time"? because they didn't understand it. Or "none of the questions were answered", when almost all the major ones were. Sure there were abandoned story lines but things like "What was the island?", "What was the smoke monster?", "What were the numbers?" were all answered.

I never watched Lost. And to this day, I don't know how it ends. I've avoided the spoilers!

Is it worth watching at this point? Since we are always needing a new family show (I feel like we've watched all the obvious ones), is it appropriate for a 12 and 14 year-old?

I don't think it was laziness as much as the writers didn't have a plan for what to do after the first season or two.

Might have been better as a British style 2 series and done.

Like every JJ Abrams project (cough, Star Wars, cough).....

Kids and I finished Season 1 (their first time watching) on Saturday night and watched the Season 2 premiere yesterday. A few fun observations seeing it through their eyes for the first time.

Really interesting to see how connected they are to Walt (maybe 2 years older than him) and so scared for him getting taken.

Super paranoid that every character is about to die ever since Boone died.

Really good conversations about Sawyer, who is of course hilarious, but also an A-hole a lot of the time. Not a lot of characters like that in their wheelhouse of tween shows.

Both totally freaked out Rousseau was going to kill Claire's baby.

One exclaiming, 'CHARLIE YOU IDIOT" when they showed him with the heroin from the plane in his bag.

Both of them 100000% on edge as Jack explores the hatch with Michael Giachiano's incredibly tense score.

this was the most popular social event for several years in the USA

there were literal blogs analyzing the philosophical underpinnings of the show since so many of the characters were named after philosophers

and yet now- a decade later almost none of the cast has made it as a star.

maybe the Korean guy is still around and the british gnome was in the LOTR movies.

Kate is a conservative pretty much just hanging out now and doing an occassional podcast

anyone seen sawyer in ten years?

and Jack was black balled from hollywood for beating his ex wife.
