Finished Season 4 in Just 6 Days… What a Ride! (No Spoilers Past S4)
No spoilers beyond Season 4 please! First-time watcher.
I just finished Season 4… and I can’t believe it’s only been 6 days since I started this show. I never expected to love Lost this much. I’m completely addicted.
Some thoughts:
I was actually happy that they finally got off the island and the Oceanic 6 made it out.
But here’s the thing I can’t get behind: everyone suddenly feels like they have to go back. I really hate that idea. You just escaped what was basically hell. Even if your life in the real world is miserable, I can’t imagine anyone willingly choosing to return to that island. Right now it feels a bit forced just to keep the story going, but maybe Season 5 will change my mind.
Jacob was finally introduced… but I still have no idea what to make of him. He just seemed like some kind of spirit?
Ben is still being Ben—lying, manipulating, deceiving everyone. I honestly can’t stand him. He’s one of those characters I love to hate.
Juliet joining Jack’s group was a great development. 👍
I was so relieved when Sawyer and Kate escaped the Others back in Season 3.
The freighter commandos were such a pain, so it was satisfying to see Ben’s side eventually take them down.
Locke is apparently becoming the new leader of the island? I’m really curious where that’s going.
And what is going on with Christian? Why is Jack’s dad speaking for Jacob? And Claire just left Aaron?? That had me saying, “WTF?!”
I was also expecting more answers about the Black Smoke Monster and the whispers in the jungle. Four seasons in, I still have no clue what they are. At this point, it almost feels like the Smoke Monster is somehow under Ben’s control—or at least Ben can direct it—but I’m probably missing something.
Finally, Desmond reuniting with Penny was easily one of my favorite moments of the season. ❤️
Overall, I’m still hooked and can’t wait to start Season 5.
Please, no spoilers beyond Season 4!

Just finished this show. I now feel sad as hell
This one got me real bad.
I’ve only had a few shows give me post depression after finishing them. This is one of the worst.
It’s been one hell of a journey from start to finish. Insane character depth and development; I feel like I grew way too attached to these characters because of that. All of it just ending is putting me in what feels like an actual state of grief. Feels like I just lost a family.
Anyone else feel this way?

Favorite Lost character and why?
There are many well written and interesting characters on Lost, but for me, my favorite will always be Ben.
Michael Emerson did an absolutely fantastic job portraying him, no one else could compare. Ben went from tragic mastermind to anti-hero, having some of the best character development in the entire show, while still being hilarious. In my dreams, there’s a spinoff with him and Hurley and their shenanigans on the island. I love a lot of other characters, (Sun, Desmond, Jin, Sawyer, Charlie) but Ben will always sticks out to me.

Garnering interest for a fan meetup / “convention” of sorts
I know it wouldn’t be like a typical convention, but perhaps with enough planning, we could figure out a bunch of relevant things to do, but the main point would be to just get together and socialize, reminisce, etc
My other favorite show is how I Met your mother, and they kind of do their own thing once a year in the form of a charity concert with the band The Solids (the creators’ band) and after a while they were able to get several cast members to come (I am not at all expecting any cast members to come to our meet up, but it just kind of inspired me to think about what a LOST meet up could look like)
The first thought that comes to mind is a group camping trip on a beach. Obviously Hawaii would be ideal since that’s where it was filmed, but since Hawaii can be cost prohibitive maybe we could consider consider California? Or maybe Puerto Rico (is that cheaper than Hawaii?)
Like a 3 or 4 day summer camp for Losties.
Ideas:
Survivor Camp Games
Build shelters with tarps and rope.
Coconut bowling.
Mango or pineapple relay races.
“Find the hatch” scavenger hunt using GPS coordinates.
Blindfold navigation with a partner.
Team challenges named after the beach camp vs. the Others.
Dharma Initiative Theme
Everyone gets assigned a Dharma job upon arrival.
Examples:
Swan Station (kitchen)
Pearl (photographer)
Orchid (games)
Hydra (water sports)
Flame (communications)
Arrow (firewood)
Staff (first aid)
Someone could be a secret “Other” and we could have some fun with that
Dharma initiative instructional video challenge
We could get one of those camp snap cameras that look like super eight, but is actually digital so we can edit it on the fly, and make our own dharma initiative style videos. We could split into groups and turn it into a contest with a cool Lost themed prize for the winner.
“Live Together, Die Alone”
Campfire discussion night.
Everyone shares:
how they found Lost
favorite character
favorite theory
what the show meant during a hard time
Lost Mythology Trivia
Rounds like:
obscure background characters
music
props
fake brands
Dharma stations
flash sideways
“Who said this?”
Found Objects Exchange
Like geocaching.
Everyone brings one Lost-related trinket.
Examples:
Apollo candy
Dharma magnets
little notebooks
airplane pins
vinyl stickers
fake passports
Hatch keychains
Leave them in caches, with clues or coordinates
Drunk PowerPoint
Some presentation ideas:
The complete economics of the Dharma Initiative.
Was Ben actually the hero?
Which character would survive a modern zombie apocalypse?
The hidden philosophers of LOST
Push the Button
Probably my favorite silly idea.
Set a timer for every 108 minutes.
When it goes off, everyone has to stop what they’re doing and gather to push a literal red button.
No exceptions.
Eating?
Swimming?
Mid-conversation?
Push the button.
I guarantee by the second day people would be yelling, “WE HAVE THREE MINUTES!” and sprinting across the campsite.
Food for thought, I hope!

What do you think about lost philosophically on sci fi vs fantasy
This show starts and eventually becomes a sci fi show with dharma initiative and the numbers, But the true nature of the source is very mystical and fantasy like, it's a fantasy show obviously but how do the source and the numbers connect? does the numbers control the source or the other way? because there are some things that have a hard time being sci fi, like no one can find the cave for example, how does the protector actually change destinies?
What if the recurring patterns that is the numbers are actually controlling the source, and source has to obey them?

Do you think we’ll soon see a 4K Remaster box set for LOST in the coming years?
With “The Sopranos” finally getting the 4K Physical remaster treatment this winter, what do you guys think the odds are for LOST getting the same treatment someday? I think the best time for it would be 2029 to celebrate the 25th anniversary, and I hope that it is a collection similar to the current collectors edition with bonus content and physical goodies! Lmk what you guys think.
EDIT: Did some research, and aside from the point that Disney is the owner of the series, I never considered that a remaster of LOST would also require an extensive recreation of the cgi moments in 4K, which were all originally completed in SD. So a release is probably unlikely unless some executive in Disney is really passionate about LOST 😭

What 2 Male Characters would you say are emotionally the strongest and who would you say is emotionally the weakest?
Two Strongest-
Sawyer and Sayid. Sawyer was able to endure more then enough beatings and being tortured by bamboo to show how tough he was physically and maybe he wasn’t the most positive person but he was always tough on the inside and out in my opinion. Sayid was a Soldier and usually those guys are pretty tough minded.
Weakest-
Michael. He was so mentally unstable that he thought killing two innocent women to get Walt back was the best option and then he tried to kill himself when his son didn’t want anything to do with him which shows you he really can’t handle living without his kid so to me that’s a weakness.
