Just finished watching…
Pretty much gonna start from the beginning again. I feel like I missed so much on my first watch through. I normally watch tv while I’m doing other stuff and half way through I realised you can’t do that with lost. You need to give actual real attention.

why Locke did not explain to Jack about what happened to him in S1?
this question sometimes came to my head but i never posted it here
Locke and Jack saw the world in a very different way, and they argued a lot in the island, so, i wonder, if Locke knew Jack was a doctor, why he did not tell him about his paralysis and why the island let him walk again?
in fact, Locke only tells Walt, others like The Others knew because Bakunin made the research
is there something i'm missing here?

Locke, backgammon, Jacob, MiB
Does anyone think that lockes explanation of backgammon to Walt in s1e1(p2) is exactly the game that Jacob and MiB played on the island as children? I’m sure this has been posited before but a cursory search of the sub doesn’t yield any recent posts. I think his simplistic explanation of the game is a simplistic explanation of Jacob vs MiB.

Letting go
There was a very interesting thread yesterday about the ending. One of the complaints about the ending was that not all the important characters were in the Church.
To that I replied that IMO, we are seeing the finale through Jack's eyes. That doesn't reduce the flash sideways of the rest of the characters by any means. But the "letting go" scene was between Christian and Jack and the people in the Church were the people who were most important *to Jack*.
For instance, if we would have seen the finale through Locke's eyes, there's no doubt in my mind that Helen would have been in the Church and he would have moved on with her. And I think that his letting go scene would have been with his father.
So it got me thinking about the other characters and who their letting go scene would be with.
Some characters that I thought about:
Kate - with her mother.
Charlie - with Liam
Sawyer - with Anthony Cooper
Ben - Probably his father, but Charles Widmore could also be an option.
Then I thought about Sayid:
I think his letting go scene would be with Ben.
But I do think that he would move on with Nadia and not Shannon.
I wasn't a fan of him moving on with Shannon. It makes sense if we're seeing from Jack's POV and for nostalgia, which is why I think that's who Sayid moved on with in the show. But from Sayid's perspective, I'm not buying it.
Basically for two reasons:
After Shannon and Nadia both died, Sayid mentions a few times the love of his life. Most of the time it can be left up to interpretation because both Nadia and Shannon died in his arms. But then he says this to Locke in season 5:
SAYID: It's only because I left the Island that I was finally able to marry the woman I loved. We spent nine months together—the best nine months of my life, John. That's what I know in my heart.
For me that's the ultimate proof that Nadia was the love of his life.
The second reason is that Naveen Andrews did not sell me in the scene right before Shannon is killed and she begs him to believe in her. Maggie Grace was fantastic but Naveen did not convince me.
So...what who do you think some other characters let go and moved on with had we seen the finale from their perspective?

Lost rewatch
I started my annual rewatch last week (on Season 1: Episode 7 "The Moth").
I used to rewatch previous seasons waiting for the new season to start.
Been rewatching the whole show on DVD and eventually bluray since 2010.
Anyone else still as borderline obsessed with the show like I am?

Questions about "There’s a first time for everything" Jack telling Desmond
In The End, when Desmond says "you were right ,Jack", he replies "Well, There’s a first time for everything.". Meaning smt. like he was always wrong.
right before that , Jack talks about how "Locke was right about everything wish I could tell him that".
Do you think it is an allegory or self-hate or a is it direct point of the narrative? The outcome of the story? And do you think it is a fair point?
Because Jack was not always wrong. Even the jughead bomb had to happen so that they could go back to present. There are many cases he was more right about. And many cases he was wrong about. It’s all debatable.
and when it comes to the philosophical debate of science/ faith , does it look like the narrative declares a clear winner with those words from Jack?
or are these words more about his self-loathing character, always being hard on himself, especially as broken he is at The End?
rather than a point from the narrative? Many people seem to think it is the latter. I'm curious about what it looks like for long time fans.

Maybe all we need is less than society thinks (thoughts)
We don't need so much things as society think. We don't need expensive bags, rings, cars, houses, boats. The humble car, humble house etc. is enough. All we need is friends, love, family, music, playing games, eat, drink and having not to work so much for the basic.
But all Widmore cared wasn't about his daughter, he was drinking of an expensive bottle, he was going in auction presentations, he was searching for an distant island, and even capable of killing to find it. And the riches in the real world follow this lifestyle.
This series shows us how important are the simpliest things. I think it's necessary they broadcast it in TV again. It tells so much about everything. The antiwar thing is so much meaningful to me, even more so because there's happening two wars right now.
It's the third time I'm watching the series. I love it so much.

LOST merch and books
I already have a few of the official books for lost (lost chronicles and encyclopedia) but was wondering if there are any other books or other merchandise that is worth getting? I'd love to add it to my collection and its great for once you've finished the series.

Missed opportunities for connections
Ive always felt that Sawyer’s Sydney murder victim was a missed opportunity to tie some characters together. He’s not in any one else’s backstory and it’s such a big deal for such a minor character.
I’ve always thought they could have made Saywer kill Christian. Imagine Christian did some shady things after losing his job, maybe some dodgy loans, and got on the wrong side of the wrong person and they sent Sawyer after him using the same lie we see in the show.
Of course we wouldn’t have THAT scene between Sawyer and Jack if this happened, but it feels like it could have worked.
Any other missed opportunities you would have liked to see play out?

Plot holes in lost
Is it just me or i would have loved to know the secret of the island itself? Like where did it even come from and more explanations to how miracles happened (I assume it was Jacob's doing)
At the start of the last season they showed the island sunk underwater, how come it was still ashore by the end of it?
Or how did Eloise/Charles get to know so much about the windows leading to the islands? Was it really all from Daniel's journal?
Also they said that the people whispering or appearing are the souls stuck inside the island then how come Walt was one of them despite being alive then and why was he important enough to get kidnapped instead of Claire's baby? What was the point of it.
How was jacob even able to leave the island if she never taught him anything. I really would have loved it if they focused more on the twins
If the mib was Christian how come he was John too when Sun was in that cabin
