A bunch of people crash on an island. A ton of mysterious bat poo poo hosed up implications are made as to what's really going on. Three episodes from the end of season 1 the viewer realizes the writers are setting up stuff with no idea where to go with it and making promises they are never going to be able to deliver on, and the viewer stops wasting their time watching this stupid poo poo. A decade and a half later a mysterious thread appears on the internet about a show the viewer had "Lost" to faded memories and confirms an opinion once made but long forgotten. How meta. And that viewers name was Albert Einstein's Skeleton. *Now that I think about Game of Thrones totally stole it's whole general concept from Lost.

The world's moral compass got hosed up and has to be unplugged and plugged back in, like resetting a router. Also there is a cool dog.

Bug-eyed bad guy Ben got his rear end kicked about twice per season, and teenage me skimmed a TV Guide interview where the actor said something like "I'm the most beaten character in television history" and that was more than 10 years ago and I still remember it so maybe it's true

Universe Master posted:They were definitely in purgatory in the final season. The "mystery" is whether they were there all along. Okay but see, the last season was like...a flash-sideways alternate timeline where the nuke got set off in the 1970s and sank the island (FOR SOME REASON). Pee pee poo poo Lost is a bad show

A cheerleader gets stranded on an island after a plane crash and a Stephen King movie breaks out where she has 24 hours to get to some button and save the world Apparently the show was so popular it created a whole genre of big budget TV

I've never seen an episode of Lost, but my mom watched it and said it was confusing. Some people are on a plane and it crashes. They end up on a mysterious island, and there are aliens and/or sci-fi poo poo there. There are dramatic reveals that what they see is not all there is, and the characterization of peoples' morality becomes a centerpoint of the show. Some guy or gal who was designed to be the audience favorite bites it, and everyone is sad. Then there is like one guy left and we discover it's all a dream and nothing in the show made any lick of difference because the writers didn't know how to end the thing. How'd I do?

I liked it when they had Zepp in a cupboard for six eps. I liked when the Scotch man from The 100 got hosed up on a boat because he couldn’t find his wife in the past. I liked it when the blonde lady hit a nuke with a rock so good that the 70s ragequit on her.

The ending was really dumb and it was fantastic when they go to the church and the guy was like "I'm Christian Shepard  " and everyone face palms for how ham handed it was. Also everyone needed to wait in the church for everyone to show up because everyone on the island was connected and so important. Except for Leti or whatever her name was, she's being left behind to serve as a traffic cop for the rest of eternity? Sayid spends his happily ever after with a person he was with for like 4 hours instead of his wife It's been so long that so many TV nerds feel empowered to come out of shameful hiding and rave about how great Lost was anywhere they can because no one cares enough about that show now to give them a wedgie I watched The Leftovers despite hating how Lost ended and knowing 100% full well that the show would end similarly and, surprise surprise, it was some crap too but that's 100% on me Also remember when the smoke monster made mechanical and chain sounds so people thought it was just some steam punk island defense mechanism but nope turns out it's a dude? Also The Others brainwashed people for some reason? I mean, I'm sure they gave a reason but that reason ultimately means nothing because it seemed like the inhabitants of the island are ultimately meaningless? Remember when ABC hyped up an episode by saying "Next episode one of the mysteries of the show will be revealed" and it turned out to be how Jack got his tattoo WhyteRyce fucked around with this message at 21:29 on Oct 12, 2020 |

Remember when some character would show up in the background of some other characters flashback and people would nut themselves over the reveal. It started cool with things like Hurley buying Locke's box company but then they ran out of ideas and did stuff like have Hurley's girlfriend show up out of no where and finance Desmond's boat for some reason. Also Hurley's girlfriend was in the mental ward with him but nothing came of that either

A man crashes on an island, suffers and dies a pointless death after learning that his destiny was to take out and then put back in a cosmic buttplug in the rear end in a top hat of the universe in order to destroy a sentient fart.

The Dharma Initiative was legit the coolest part of the show's mythology despite the writers doing everything they could to make people think they were more evil than the genocidal brainwashing island cultists. The best part of the show was Charlie and Hurley because they felt like actual real people and not just walking soap opera tropes or jokes for the writers at the audience's expense. When Charlie died at the midway point, I kept watching but my heart just wasn't in it anymore because you arrre everrbody!

donnie darko has a time-travelling ghost that makes donnie miss his death which creates the time travel ghost so that he can later time-travel back to that moment and die like he was originally going to anyway. its a time loop except theres no way it couldve started in the first place lost is worse

Sometimes you would believe that events were occurring at a particular place and time (say, a sunny apartment) and then it would turn out that it was actually in a different time and/or place (in this case, in a hole that just had the doors blown off), and as far as I can remember those reveals were usually dope as hell.

All I remember about lost was some flashback scene where someone was visiting some old lady out in the australian outback(which is apparently a few km outside of Sydney because of course it is) and she had the worst attempt at an australian accent I've ever heard. That and there cocaine smuggling priest skeletons and the writers insisting that they had everything planned from the start, which is obvious lie and one that guarantees to backfire in the long run when your show built around cliff hanger episode endings to keep the audience wanting to come back will blow up in your face when inevitably write yourself into more increasingly convoluted corners. They should just ended it like The Prisoner. All of that and the main character looking like the most generic main character on american television at the time, late 30's white guy, muscular build, short brown hair with slight facial hair and named Jack.
