What's funny about it to me is that it was the third time they delivered that baby in the show.

I thought it was way funnier that Ben remembered by getting the poo poo beat out of him.

I never really understood why everyone immediately understood what was happening to them (that they were in a sorta-afterlife), even if they suddenly remembered what happened on the island and how they died. I'd be a little freaked out and would probably think that I was dreaming or in a coma or something.

Best old thread was the one where they aired the pilot right before the finale and everyone posted like it was 2004 and they'd never seen the show before.

The series finale thread owns if only because it introduced me to One Hundred Years of Solitude, which is cool as hell and the best book.

Anyone catch Lindelof on Talking Dead? He talked a little about killing off characters, Charlie in particular. He seems like a really insightful, cool dude.

Bit of a necro on this thread... Took the family to Oahu for the holidays and we did a guided tour of a bunch of Lost shooting locations as well as other TV shows/movies. This is Kualoa Ranch and the hill they pushed the Dharma van down in "Tricia Tanaka is Dead". (easily the best episode of the series imo)

I've done tours with them both times I was in Oahu. Great folks and it the BEST way to see Kualoa Ranch. I pitied the people driving past on the school bus or the 4 wheelers.

Doing a re-watch with the missus, and we are nearing the end of season 2 (Michael just shot Libby and AL). I haven't watched this show in probably 5 or 6 years, but it's blowing my mind how much stuff they did in these first two seasons that they either ignored or changed drastically without much/any explanation. I don't want to ask someone to post an essay about it, but is there anywhere I can read about what they originally planned back then or why they changed things they did (Walt's story/importance for starters, but even things like Libby being a patient with Hurley then killing her two episodes later)? It's great fun watching the show again, but there are parts that remind me how frustrated I got with it my first time through.

I think Walt leaving the show more or less was just because of how fast the actor was aging. Or at least that was the rumor I heard for the longest time. I dunno how much sense that even makes since "The magic of the Island made him grow faster" would have been the easiest justification in the world to use to explain it away if they wanted to keep him on.

There's this huge essay that a Season 1-3 writer wrote about the writing process for the first few season and what sort of things they had outlined. It's huge though and in a really weird format: http://okbjgm.weebly.com/lost Here's a random quote I pulled out of it: quote:During these sessions -- which began on February 24th of 2004, exactly one day before Damon and JJ finished writing their very first draft of the pilot -- a lot of the ideas that became the show’s mythology and format were discussed, pitched, and put into play for what would eventually become the series. Also, to be fair, more often than not, we were paving the way for the good ideas by coming up with a lot of bad ones. Very bad ones. On the first day alone, Damon downloaded on us the notion that the island was a nexus of conflict between good and evil: an uncharted and unchartable place with a mysterious force at its core that called humanity to it to play out a primal contest between light and dark.

Libby was in the institution because she was grieving her late husband, Dave(who Hurley saw as a ghost in the mental hospital, but thought was a hallucination, and who he saw as the man in black on the island). Libby sold her late husband's ship the "Elisabeth" to Desmond, which he used to get to the island, and is what Kelvin and eventually the man in black tried to use to escape it. In the flash sideways, Libby helps Hurley remember their life and who he was. Lost isn't really a mystery show with clean, cheap, satisfying answers with tons of exposition like the mainstream wants it to be. Its a drama with christian overtones about people being put into confusing and emotionally difficult situations and the life lessons they learn from it. And they happen with and without a strange island.

And they happen with and without a strange island. I wouldn't say it had Christian overtones but that it recognized religion as part of human culture, and not just Christian religion. That is clear if you realize the final church includes multiple denominations. There's also a host of reference to early Egyptian ideology, among others.

Was Libby caught up in the "got in trouble with the law" thing like the hispanic girl? I think I remember the actress that played the cop ironically got a DUI and they killed her off.

The tour guide I had said that Libby got a DUI also and that's why they popped her too. Also, they got rid of Mr. Ecko well before they wanted to because the actor was miserable on Hawaii.

The Event was one, everyone in the world passes out for a minute and sees their future or something. Another one was called The River or The Bank. There were quite a few shows looking to capture LOST's success and they were all adequate as TV shows go, but just because they had LOST's budget didn't make them any good. I'm positive that "Under the Dome" would have been a mini-series instead of a weekly show if it wasn't for LOST.

I guess I am confusing The Event with Flashforward, probably not a good sign for either show.

There was also that one about a bank robbery where they would reveal slightly more about what happened each episode.

I actually really enjoyed Flashforward and was sad it didn't get renewed. Some of the acting was pretty rough, but the story was pretty fascinating and the first season ended with a big cliffhanger that I'd loved to have seen followed up on.

Jack Gladney posted:There was also that one about a bank robbery where they would reveal slightly more about what happened each episode. The Nine. The problem was that the robbery flashbacks were the only interesting part, and they weren't that interesting. The rest was just a weak character drama. They also had that Six Degrees show where everyone was connected, except... the rest was just a weak character drama. Then there was the trilogy of alien serials that came out around the same time: Invasion, Surface, and Threshold. Each had their ups and downs but were clearly cashing in on Lost's success as a mystical sci-fi serial.

Just came across the Cut Epilogue with Ben and Hurley driving around shutting down Dharma factories. Was pretty cool except for the ridiculous explanation of the bird the says Hurley's name in season 2.

sweetmercifulcrap posted:e: I can't read With Paranoia Agent specifically, it's a lot like Season 1 Lost where each episode focuses on a specific character, their problems resurfacing, and how they then react to some crazy supernatural stuff impending on them. Going from character story to character story also progresses a larger, main plot. It's also only like 13 or so episodes long, so it doesn't overstay its welcome. Thematically, Paranoia Agent comes to fairly different conclusions than Lost though- it would view something like the Flashsideways in a very suspicious and negative light, for example.
