We have to go back: Lost premiered today, 20 years ago

[lapsus_calami]

On September 22, 2004, Oceanic Flight 815 crashed on a mysterious island that was home to a smoke monster, polar bears, hippie scientists and ancient Egyptians. At the time, it was the most expensive television pilot ever filmed. Over the course of six seasons, the show enthralled and frustrated viewers with its convoluted plot and labyrinthine

20 years?? TWENTY?!

I’ve never done a rewatch although I think about doing it quite often. I think a big part of my enjoyment back then was having to wait for a new episode and how there was a week of speculation and research online about references to mythologies, literature etc. Would be interesting to just binge it now I guess.

My faves were Charlie, Libby and Benry.

Charlie was like my least favorite - LOL.

Libby’s death sucked but I felt less bad when I found out she also had a DUI around the same time as Michelle Rodriguez.

I hate Charlie so much lmao I’m always happy when he dies idc

[crazyfreakyaj]

I was waiting patiently for him to die.

Aww. I recently finished my first watch of Lost a few weeks ago. I miss it so much. There’s a huge emptiness I feel, because Lost seems like that large of a show with all its lore

I just finished my first watch two weeks ago! I had so much fun. After 2 1/2 months of having something to watch every night, now I'm like wtf do I watch when I'm eating dinner lol

[crazyfreakyaj]

We must have been watching at the same time!

That sounds so cool, like you're also part of the story, just living in an alternate timeline! It's really amazing how they filmed the locations to make it look like different parts of the world.

If you all haven’t seen the like 10-15 minute Epilogue on YouTube make sure you watch it. :)

Believe they are premiering the Getting Lost documentary today in LA. Kinda interesting who participated and who didn’t (they asked every cast member). It is also going to be at the Hawaii IFF next month but I found out too late and it’s sold out :(

[jearsforqueers]

I follow the instagram account for the documentary! I hope they drop it on the streamers! Also I’m follow a LOST Reddit page and apparently Matthew Fox and Dominic Monaghan said no to the documentary as far as I know…

Dom also gets annoyed at cons when fans tell him that they love him on LOST and that they appreciate his portrayal which makes me sad tbh. Like you came off a HUGE trilogy (LOTR) and landed a hot gig on prime time TV. He’s the reason why I had interest in watching it when it came out his was gonna be in it! Apparently he wants nothing to do with being associated with the show now.

[crazyfreakyaj]

Apparently he is super bitter about Lost because of a bad break up with Evangeline Lilly.

[flyingpigs_live]

Which is weird because he's still close with Emilie

The show is still great. There's so much garbage on tv. Atleast lost is entertaining and fun.

[hyperpop]

Probably my all time favorite show, it was such a phenomenon and I came to it late but it had me hooked

I recently had my first rewatch since it originally aired and I made it to the beginning of the final season and had to take a break, all the feelings of not wanting it to end came flooding back and I just couldn’t. I’ll finish it soon, but they had some nerve [Spoiler (click to open)]making me watch my precious bb Juliet die TWICE

[crazyfreakyaj]

Even as a binge watcher, I had to take a break before starting season 6 because i knew it was gonna come to an end soon.

I'm on Richard's flashback in my rewatch but I haven't gone back to it in a while, I should. I just don't want to see my bbs Jin and Sun ;_;

[green_monsterx]

I started rewatching earlier this year and stopped midway thru the last season because I didn’t want the end either lol
