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.

Watching lost made me realize I was tested as a kid just like group 815.

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.
