How is LOST not talked about more in 2026?
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?

How did I miss the toys?!
I am currently doing a rewatch and on the Blu-ray bonus disc for season 3 there is a whole bit on the Todd Mcfarlane toys! I'm a Mortal Kombat fan so I have a few of their figures from Mcfarlane.
I guess my question is if anyone here has any of them or experience with them? From what I see they look super detailed and good quality. And of course they are expensive on Ebay. But there is one set piece with Jack and Lock looking down the hatch which looks awesome, and I kind of want to get a Sawyer one since he is my favorite character.
I still can't believe I did not know about these, but it's funny how I am more into things like this as an adult than I was when I was 17, maybe I did hear about it but back then I didn't care or pay attention to it.

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

Re-watched season 1 after 15 years
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.
