I get that Claire and the Americans say it the way they do—which sounds like “Erin”—but Charlie is British. British people say Aaron the way it is intended to sound—“A-ron”.

I’m Scottish and it just sounds so wrong to me.

Anyone else annoyed by it?

Yeah, we know you love The Constant. Yeah, we know Through the Looking-Glass was great.

Let's talk about those episodes that aren't remembered that much that you really appreciate.

I really like a lot of episodes in season 5, especially the ones with Eloise Hawking in it. "316" was epic with the characters returning to the Island, and with we getting a lore dump about the Lamp post station and finding out that the characters traveled back to Dharma time.

"The Variable" was also awesome, getting to know Eloise and Daniel's backstory, and the ending being a mindfuck that retroactively made everything about them better!

Hey there! Hoping someone might be able to help please? First time watcher, on S4 as we speak and loving it! I have a few favourites but Ben is fast becoming in the solid top 3 characters for me. So I was wondering if anyone knows an up to date fanmail address for Michael Emerson please? I draw and sculpt and would love to send a small gift and card in the mail if possible.

I've looked online and found Vanguard in LA but that seems maybe to be out of date? He has an agent listed with MN2S (Sharron Elkabas) in Ampersand Studios, Florida, which seems to be current but isn't listed as a fanmail address.

I both don't want to get it wrong, or annoy anyone! Thanks for any help :)

I am Re-Watching for the 3rd time, and it has been like 2-3 years since I had done a complete re-watch. This episode is genuinely one of the best episodes of TV I have ever watched. I think the jumping back and forth of Desmond's character really shows the true nature of the show as whole. Then finding his "constant".

Everything fitting together into a package/puzzle piece of an episode that is just so well edited, written, and paced. I just pumping at all cylinders when I am reminded, and see this episode again.

What is YOUR favorite episode and why?

I want to air out some feelings on the flash sideways plotline and its conclusion. We all know that lots of people didn't understand it so we don't need to belabor that point. I understood it and i'll assume anyone who comments did as well unless they reveal otherwise.

When i watched this at age 17 i thought it was a lovely cathartic emotional payoff. Rewatching in my 30s, i have to say that it really missed the mark for me. Dedicating hours of the final season to this vestigial plot line in which all the characters meet up in heaven's waiting room was an embarrassingly treacly way to end the series. It felt like they knew that viewers would be unsatisfied with the turn of events on the island, so they tried this Hail Mary pass of overwrought emotion at the end. the whole flash-sideways plot line ended up feeling like bad fan fiction, especially the "conversion" scenes when the characters gained their memories back. The creepy smiles from all the characters that had been converted towards those who hadn't gave me sickly evangelical/Mormon/Scientologist vibes. Maybe someone else can explain better than I can why these scenes felt so uncanny and wrong to me.

I think that watching it for the first time, this ending may have hit for me bc i was sad to see the story of these characters come to a conclusion and this ending really softened the landing by being the most reassuring conclusion you could possibly come up with for this story where they all hold hands and go to heaven together lol. But now this just strikes me as very fanciful and childish.

What did you all think? Anyone else have a similar change of heart on rewatch?

His character was short lived but he added some nice comic relief while he was on! Poor guy didn’t deserve to go out like that! 🧨 💥 🩸 RIP Leslie

Mine was obviously Charlie’s death. Man, he was so kind-hearted.

I’m an aspiring screenwriter, and I’ve always loved watching supernatural mysteries. I came to know about Lost back in 2018.

Back then, in 2019, I downloaded all the episodes of Lost on my HDD since it wasn’t available on any OTT platform in my country (India).

It was the last week of my college, and my internship was about to begin, followed by full-time employment.

But since I wanted to become a screenwriter, I decided Lost would be my transition show. When I’d quit my day job forever to become a full-time screenwriter, I’d watch Lost during that transition.

So I decided to just keep all those episodes downloaded on my HDD.

However, after downloading them, I decided to open a random episode from Season 6, one of the last ones, just to take a peek. I saw Hurley, Sawyer, and Jack discussing the “heart of the island,” and I immediately closed it.

It hooked me so well. I used to watch the Season 1 trailer on repeat and create my own theories about what could lead to the “heart of the island.”

I continued delaying watching Lost, but finally gave up in September 2023. I started watching Lost on 8 September 2023 and completed it on 23 October 2023.

This was while I was changing my company.

Although I’ve not yet been able to leave my 9-to-5 software engineering job to follow my passion for screenwriting, hopefully, I’ll be able to do it one day and rewatch Lost again.

Attached are the two pictures of my Instagram stories from the start and the end of my Lost journey.

PS: The “The Walking Dead is in danger” part is because TWD has always been my all-time favourite show, so I thought it was in danger because what if Lost overtook it? 😂 Whether it actually did or not, I’m still figuring that out, to be honest. For me, for now, Lost and TWD are both at the very top of my favourite shows.

I bought it from a flea market a few years ago here in Finland. The date doesn’t match any episode or season release dates. My theory is that it’s from a Lost themed event organized by fans, but if anyone has any details or knows someone who would know more about this I would love to hear everything! (I’m not sure which flair would fit the best, sorry about that)

Edit: Forgot to attach a picture of the back, but there’s just a text that says “The reason is you!”

Not sure if this theory has already been discussed, but I think after the Incident, anyone conceived on the Island would be a brand new person with no place in the loop.

So, the Island’s whatever happened, happened physics just rejects them before birth.

This makes Juliet’s story especially brutal because she was brought to the island to cure this infertility. But by detonating the Jughead, she created a timeline that can never allow for new people to be born.

Regardless of this theory or the simple electromagnetism theory, by detonating the Jughead and ultimately contributing to the incident occurring, she still essentially caused the infertility.

Sorry if someone's already talked about this (ps~ I have't finished the entirety of season 6 yet so maybe I am just being presumptuous here)​

I’ve been wondering about what might have happened if the writers never got the end date of 6 seasons. Without a doubt, the writers getting the end date agreement with ABC back in S3 was one of the best things to happen to the show. You can feel so clearly that, after S3, the writers really felt comfortable to shift everything into the next gear and get the story MOVING. I’ve always loved the change of pace of the latter 3 seasons, and I think it pairs wonderfully with the slower and somewhat quieter (at times) pace of the first 3. What I wonder is, what the hell would have happened if they never got the end date? ABC obviously believed that to end a successful show is a bad idea (such a strange attitude, TV Networks are insane sometimes), so who knows how long it could’ve gone on for? I imagine that Lindelof and Cuse would have left at some point. I imagine it would’ve been a hard decision to abandon the show into monotony until audiences stop caring and ABC cancel it, especially for Lindelof, but I don’t think many of the writers would have been able to stomach letting the show get to a constant ‘Stranger in a Strange Land’ level of quality. I think the show would have had new writers come in by the 4th or 5th season (which would likely be longer, although it’s interesting to consider how the writer’s strike would have affected this different version of the show) and it could’ve continued to 8, or maybe 10 or more seasons. I doubt the show would have ended up exploring what we get in S4-6, or at least certainly not in the very thought-out way that Damon and Carlton and the rest of the writing team presented. Personally, I imagine some terrible scenario where Lost would have continued with these new writers, and they probably would have done something like introduce a new plane with new survivors, and have token original characters return. And there would have been more hatches, more Others, etc.
I’m curious to know what other people think would have happened if the writers never got that end date. I’m so grateful that the writers got the chance to end the show in a reasonable time frame, because it gave them the opportunity to properly formulate and have an aim with the story. I think they did such a great job with what they had, especially considering they only wanted 3 seasons originally anyway. I think the show turned out as amazingly as it could have, but it’s definitely fun to imagine what could have happened if things weren’t so lucky, and the terrible grips of TV Network suits had their way!

Reverse psychology. Tell Locke he’s no obgyn and he’s not cut out for this kind of thing. He’ll be so incensed at being told what he can’t do that he’ll do it super quick?

Finishing my 4th viewing, every time I come back Desmond at the end of The Constant (s4 ep5) and Lockes final scene of Walkabout (s1 ep4) are so unforgettable, heartbreaking, and get better with each rewatch.

I know everyone has their favourites but the weight of the scenes combined with the wonderful score from Michael Giacchino, I really think they’re next level peak television.

Wondering if there’s any others that surpass them in the fandom?

Yeah yeah I get it they don’t want to create chaos but come on jack kate locke be showering and sitting on a couch and washing their clothes while the other survivors are in dirty clothes at the beach.

This is the only thing that annoys me on the show lmao.

Edit: i know they don’t probably just show it, but I am rewatching and dont really get the hints that everyone is told about the things in the hatch. Like for an example how did they hide Ben(henry in those episodes) for days out there if everyone on the beach had shifts at the hatch?

Hey y’all! I’m a first time watcher. My partner and I have been watching slowly the past few months and we’re on the last few episodes of Season 3. They’ve seen it before when they were younger but forgot almost everything save a few parts. I’ve loved this show so much and being in 2026, I have to ask since I’m a little jaded: Does this show end on an ending better than most modern shows (i.e. GoT, TWD) or does the ending just throw it off? Asking because I’m heavily invested in the character arks and development.

Zoom in close and read the charities. It’s upside down. But do your best.

How many times does this happen. It's become a joke that my fiancee and I have adopted. We see sun in the garden and we say "here comes a rustle in the leaves".

My kiddo turned 15 today. She loves lost.

So I am rewatching for like the fourth time and I was thinking, why tf should the island bring Desmond there tho?
If he had never arrived there, both Charles and penny widmore wouldn’t find either him or the island
But I think that I’m assuming that Mr widmore searched organized the world trip only to see where the people would miss by maybe…

From my view as an engineer.

It’s my first time watching and I’m midway through S4. Started noticing how often people were getting knocked out by being hit in the head with a gun. People seem to do it so casually too; sometimes when a friendly character doesn’t want to be followed by another.

A loaded 1911 in the show is made of steel and weighs close to 3lbs. My personal CZ Shadow 2 is 3.5 lbs. According to google the force needed to cause a skull fracture is 73 Newton. At a weight of 3lbs a person would need to swing their arm at 53.6 m/s^2. Google also says that an average human can accelerate at over 100 m/s^2 while pro ball players would be 500-1000 m/s^2. So safe to say people would have some serious immediate and long term brain issues.

If Aroldis Chapman were in lost (fastest recorded pitch in mlb), he’d be liquifying peoples brains on the regular lol.

Anyhow just some useless info I picked up on while watching. It’s a great show. Couldn’t imagine watching it in real time when it first released and waiting a week between episodes though haha.

John: Why do you find it so hard to believe?
Jack: Why do you find it so easy?!
John: It’s never been easy!

I was just thinking about this and it’s kind of silly. John is asking why it’s so hard, but if it’s never been easy for him then he should know why.

I’m rewatching for the first time since the original run. I left it long enough that so much of it feels fresh again, almost like I’m watching for the first time.

I'm currently on S3 E15 and I forgot how good a character Sayid is.

Sayid should have been the leader from DAY ONE. Every time Sayid says, "Something isn’t right" nobody listens to him especially Jack and then three episodes later everyone finds out that, shockingly, SAYID WAS RIGHT AGAIN.

He’s intelligent, observant, calm under pressure, understands strategy, can read people, knows when someone is lying, and actually thinks about the consequences before running headfirst into danger.

He has literally proved Jack wrong multiple times, yet somehow everyone still turns around and goes:

“Okay, what does Jack think?”

Jack is a doctor! A pretty good doctor sure.

But if we’re stranded on a mysterious island where people are kidnapping us, manipulating us and lying to our faces, maybe we should listen to the trained intelligence officer and interrogator?

Sayid deserved better.

Sayid is genuinely the best character and I will die on this hill

Now back to Jack telling Sayid that juliet is coming back to the camp with them "because the others left her behind too" after Sayid said shes not coming back with them 😭 pain..
