First time here? READ THIS!
Welcome to r/lost. This is the subreddit for the ABC TV show Lost (2004-2010).
If you have lost your pet, your money or feeling depressed - please seek help other places. You're unfortunately in the wrong subreddit. Your post will be deleted.
EPISODE DISCUSSION FOR FIRST TIME WATCHERS
Please adhere to the guidelines in the series hub.
Season 1
Season 2
Season 3
Season 4
Season 5
Season 6
- I'm hesitant about watching the show. I've heard that the ending is giant cop-out
Unfortunately, due to various reasons, a big group misinterpreted the ending. This spread fast. If you've heard that the characters were dead since the plane crash then you've been misformed about the ending. This isn't true.
- I've started watching the show, can I still post here?
Yes. Feel free to post. Use the First-Time Watcher flair and add in your questions, theories and discussion topics. We always thrive on new Lostaways. Just be very cautious and tell us where you are in the show (season and episode). Beware of spoilers!
- I'm nearing the end of the show, but there's an uncut version of the finale and a two-parter. Which to watch?
There's only one version of the finale that was approved by the showrunners. The uncut version that runs about 106 minutes. ABC cut down a two-parter series finale for syndication, in case of reruns of the show. This version was sent to various streaming services. Now, most streaming services have both versions. The uncut and the two-parter. The uncut is the one that was aired, approved and the only one you need to watch.
- I've just finished the show. What now?
Check out the epilogue. Click here for a thread of additional content. Or the FAQ archive which consist of various questions about the show.
Let us know what you think of Lost. You're always welcome to our club as long as you follow the rules.

System Failure Sunday I'm going to tell my kids this was Jason and Lucia from GTA VI.
In honour of GTA VI releasing this week, I swear Jason and Lucia must've taken some inspiration from Jack and Ana Lucia from LOST because the resemblance is uncanny.

I've watched Lost 4 times. This scene will always hit hard.
There are countless emotional scenes in Lost, pretty much every character has one, some have multiple (looking at you Mr. "because he's the only one that will have me")... But after a few rewatches, nothing hits harder to me than this scene in season 1 between Jin and Sun... one last look, that's all it took.
I think this scene hits particularly hard on rewatched, when you have the full picture of the messy yet beautiful relationship between Jin and Sun. Lost is my favourite show of all time, I will never get tired of watching it, and these two are for sure one of the reasons for it.
I would love to know what are some of your favourite scenes in the show!

System Failure Sunday I just realized the most ironic thing about Juliet. Spoiler
Juliet is the reason that women cant get pregnant on the island. When she detonated the bomb that caused the incident- after that event women could not get pregnant because of the radiation. Ethan was born before the incident.

SEASON 6 My heart is broken
I couldn't move on after this scene
I'm still in the house breaking every piece of furniture with Sawyer

The Dharma beer, when they fixed up the van. Wouldn't that beer been disgusting, spoilt and gross 30 years later?
You know that episode when hurley, jim, sawyer and Charlie jump started the van. That beer, that was in warm jungle for years would probably taste like crap, like sawyer said its flat and it stinks. Why drink it, wouldn't it not be effective per se.
Moving past a character dying Spoiler
Just finished season 2 and I am ashamed to admit I really fell in love with Ana Lucia + all of the other 48 really.
I like all the characters honestly and find their stories compelling, sympathetic etc etc….but I didn’t realize how unattached I was until Ana Lucia came along, I was super invested in her character and possible growth. Her relationship with jack, eko even sawyer, kate and sayid. I really liked her personality and thought Michelle Rodriguez was doing great !! She seemed to add something to the already established relationships and I thought she was going to end up staying at least another season longer. (I knew enough about Michelle Rodriguez to know she wasn’t on this show beginning to end) but I thought or guess hoped for a bit more.
Anyway after her death I really didn’t feel like watching. I kinda just kept thinking about what Ana Lucia could have been and what the storylines would have looked like if she were there. I even looked up her ending and it seems like that’s even worse (less satisfying).
Has anyone here struggled to watch after a character they loved died or stop watching completely as a consequence?

Kate went over the sonic fence? Wouldn't the smoke monster be able to do the same thing?
So Im at the episode where kate climbed over the fence with the tree. If the smoke monster flies, how does that work? Wouldn't a smoke monster just tear a tree, put it where it needs to be climb then go be smoke again? Or just fly over it high enough

GOLDEN PASS: Rewatcher Charlie Swimming? Spoiler
How does it gets missed by Jack that Charlie doesnt know how to swim?
Remember in season 1 when Joanna was drowning and Charlie ran up to Jack saying 'I dont swim' etc. And then in season 3 Charlie is all the sudden swimming champion that can hold breath for 4 minutes? And all the sudden Charlie can swim?

Fan Art This is Incredible. Spoiler

Jack and Locke, I love you both and thank you for such a transformative journey. ♥️

SEASON 1 lost rewatch
hello guys, after more than 1 year i decided to rewatch the entire lost series, i'm currently still on the later part of season 1. Do you think it was a good idea?
r/lost • u/SmoothHippo8155 • 1d ago
SEASON 4 Help me understand. Spoiler
Rewatching this, again lol. I don't understand why the Oceanic 6 felt they had to lie about what happened to the plane and the other passengers. They say it was to protect the people left behind, but protect them from what exactly? Charles Widmore had already found the island and had people on it. My thinking is that telling the truth would have made it easier to get help for the people who were left behind. By lying about the crash, it almost makes it seem like they don't want those people to be found or rescued. Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't fully understand why lying was necessary.

SEASON 3 S3 Finale
I just finished s3 finale and what a twist. Shocking. This is my first time watching the show and I love it. But after that twist AND so many people saying the show falls off after s3, I’m finding it hard to believe the next 3 seasons will be as good, or even make sense based on that ending. I’m gonna keep going either way, but just curious what people have to say about it. A lot of people say the show gets too ridiculous after season 3.
Any thoughts welcome

Why is Lost not that popular anymore compared to other older shows?
I love Lost (GOAT show for me no doubt) and I noticed this.
The show at one point was like the most popular show worldwide but these days I feel like while it still has a sizable fanbase other 2000s shows like Dexter, The Sopranos, The Mentalist, House etc. have somehow become popular. At least on the internet it seems that way
They all have lots of scenes on youtube (posted in recent years too) with tons of views. For Lost you barely get any and all are older videos from back when it was airing. The youtube edits are also not very popular compared to other 2000s shows. Same is true for reddit & tik tok

SEASON 6 Random thought on a 6x14 rewatch Spoiler
How are they gonna kill off Sayid so casually like that? -_- No build up no music or anything like that. Immediately got over-shadowed by the Jin/Sun situation too, they didn't even bother to give him his own death episode
Hell you could even argue he was a bigger protagonist than Jin and Sun. Kinda sad

Does anyone else have this book (came originally with the DVD of pilot)?
It’s quite interesting reading about all the background to how Lost got greenlit and the pilot produced but it’s also so funny - they got Kate’s name wrong and called her Kate Ryan and also refers to Charlie’s brother as Ian. Didn’t anyone proofread it?
r/lost • u/Individual-Green-795 • 2d ago
QUESTION Helen / Locke question. Spoiler
In the first season we get introduced a backstory to Locke when he tells Helen on a call about a walkabout and she charges him for her time and he wants to meet her, presumably later. Kinda seemed like a sad man.
In the second, we meet Helen, and its a real relationship they have. Who was John talking to in the first season?

GOLDEN PASS: Rewatcher What did you only notice about LOST on a rewatch?
I’ve rewatched LOST more times than I can count, but I’m sure there are still little things I’ve missed. Not plot holes or inconsistencies, just small details or bits of foreshadowing you didn’t notice the first time.
What did you catch?

Old ipod game available?
I was wondering if anyone here remembered the old ipod game...? Anyone know of a way or two to play it?
The “Old Lost iPod Game” — What It Was and How to Find It
The “old lost iPod game” you’re referring to is Lost: The Mobile Game by Gameloft, released for Apple’s iPod on May 22, 2007 — just one day before the Season 3 finale of the TV show lostpedia.fandom.com+1. It was originally designed for Java ME mobile phones, then adapted for the iPod with improved visuals and layout lostpedia.fandom.com+1.
Story and Gameplay
The game covered the first two seasons and the first six episodes of Season 3, played from Jack’s perspective lostpedia.fandom.com. You interact with key characters like Kate, Locke, Sayid, and Hurley, explore iconic island locations (beach, Swan, hatch, Black Rock), and relive major events such as the plane crash, meeting the Others, and escaping the black smoke lostpedia.fandom.com+1. Activities included:
Searching for dynamite
Tending to the wounded
Hunting and puzzle solving
Stealth and survival tactics Softpedia+1
Release and Availability
It was available for purchase on the iTunes Store for $5 TechCrunch, and could also be downloaded to mobile phones by texting “PLAY LOST” to 80100 lostpedia.fandom.com. The iPod version was more visually polished than the mobile phone version lostpedia.fandom.com.
Finding the Game Today
The game is no longer available from Apple or Gameloft. There is no official legal source for downloading it now, and it’s not in the “Lost Media Archive” as a preserved, playable title lostmediaarchive.fandom.com.
However:
Archival sites like the Internet Archive have collections of iPod Classic click‑wheel games, but these are not playable without custom firmware or emulators Archive.
Some users have shared .ipg files via unofficial sources, but these are not licensed and may violate Apple’s and Gameloft’s rights.
The only safe way to experience it is through retro gaming communities where enthusiasts share screenshots, story summaries, and historical context.
Tip: If you want to relive the experience, you can read the full story summary on Lostpedia lostpedia.fandom.com, watch fan‑made videos of the game on YouTube, or check retro gaming forums for legal historical coverage.
In short: The “old lost iPod game” was the 2007 Gameloft Lost title, now unavailable legally. It’s preserved in archives and fan discussions, but not officially downloadable today

Discussion Opinions on John Locke?
I found out people don’t like him after watching the Mikes Mic recap after watching the show and at first I couldn’t understand why because I love that man, but I kind of get it, but I also don’t really know how to put it in words why I like him as much as I do either
so I’d like to know your opinions on him.
This is my first time watching and after rewatching I will be better at explaining my standpoint I think but for now I’d like to hear other peoples opinions
(I hope I tagged this right)

Watching Lost with my teenage kid for the first time and seeing it through her eyes is a whole new show
I watched Lost live back when it aired, week by week, theories every Thursday at work. My daughter is 16 now and found it on streaming, so we started watching together on Sunday nights.
It's wild how different the experience is. She has no idea what's coming and gets genuinely upset at cliffhangers, and I'm sitting there pretending I don't know. The episode where they open the hatch had her yelling at the screen. I'd forgotten how good the pacing is in season one.
What surprised me most is which characters she likes. She thinks Sawyer is the most honest person on the island and finds Jack exhausting, which is the opposite of how I felt at her age. She also immediately clocked a couple of things I didn't notice the first time around.
The hard part is keeping my face neutral during certain scenes. I almost gave something away last week with a single sigh lol. Has anyone else rewatched with someone experiencing it for the first time? Did it change how you felt about the ending once you saw it through fresh eyes?
