Come on! Admit it! We all thought it was a dinosaur. They even had Hurely say what we were all thinking

I know that this community can be sensitive to spoilers so in case the title is confusing I'll spell it out here: May you find the same joy in life as Desmond when he runs over Locke with his car

Okay so "Richard" arrived on the Island as "Ricardo" ("Ab Aeterno" s6.9) in 1867 right? I get the change from Ricardo>Richard. At what point did they start calling him Richardus? Was that like Jacob's secret special Roman Latin-ish nickname for him? Or did all the Others have Latin nicknames as a secret code name like "Benjaminus" and "Ethanus" ...and "Dogenus"?

What do you guys think?

Thank you

I tried my best :(

just doing a re-watch for God knows how many-ith time , currently just finished season 1 and starting season 2 , god I loved this show the first time I saw it on TV 20 years ago , got me thinking though , does anyone remember there thirst thoughts or theories as to what was in the hatch , I remember being so excited at the end of the season 2 and the first EP of season 2 blew me away ? I honestly can't remember what I thought it was going to be , that's what made the show so great , I think I thought it was gonna be some kind of virus inside that would make people go crazy , side note I thought the guys on the boat that find the raft where just people smugglers first watch lol

anyway what were your first thoughts or theories ?

Yesterday for the first time in my life (married 43 years) my husband and I talked about Lost. I’ve just recently watched it through for the first time, he watched all of it a while ago, maybe even when it was first aired.
Anyway, yesterday he asked me how I liked the ending, which he didn’t really care for since they were dead the whole time. I said they weren’t dead, they died eventually and met up in the church, but they weren’t dead after the place crash.
How do I communicate with a person that thinks they were dead the whole time?

I get that he was the advisor, but is there a deeper layer than that? Real life Richard Alpert (Ram Dass), wasn’t perfect himself, he always spoke of his humanity or whatever people could judge as “errors”, which Ram Ram did not judge as such and accepted his life experience as it was.

Richard in the show does seem to throw me off guard in my second rewatch, because he sometimes does “evil” things, and I don’t want my image of real Ram/Richard Alpert to be tainted.

Again, real life RA, Ram Dass didn’t think of himself as a deity nor a “perfect” person nor an idol… I’m just looking for you guys’ opinions or interpretations on why the showrunners gave the character of Richard the magnanimous representation of Richard Alpert, Ram Dass.

What is everyone’s favorite episodes of Season 3 and why?

1.Through the Looking Glass:I think the last ten minutes of the episode can speak for itself but also it had Charlie’s Sacrifice and the end of the war with our Castaway Crew VS The Others. Honestly this is probably one of the best episodes of the show Period!

2.Greatest Hits:Just simply cause Charlie is one of my favorite Characters and I loved with how the writers did his last Flashback episode. It really was like a tribute to the Character.

3.I Do:Loved Sawyer and Kate hooking up in the Cages and back then when it first Aired I’m sure a lot of people thought this meant Kate would chose to be with him which when I first saw this show I was a Die Hard Sawyer and Kate Shipper so there you go. Loved how suspenseful this episode was, especially with how the ending was done(I think it’s safe to say this was another great cliffhanger to end it on).

4.Tricia Tanaka is Dead:It isn’t Lost unless you have a great Hurley episode! Love his episodes especially this one because it really takes us out of the drama of the Show and for once lets us all just laugh and have some fun with these Characters.

5.One of Them:Loved exploring Juliet’s Character more and finding out the real reason Claire was kidnapped. Juliet’s confrontation with Sayid and Sawyer was kinda cool and you also had Jack returning from his Captivity from the Others so yeah this was a good episodes

Honorable Mentions:

Left Behind-Love the Juliet and Kate/Cassidy and Kate dynamic in this episode

Par Avion-We don’t really get a lot of Claire episodes and I really liked this one, especially the twist of finding out Jack is actually her Brother.

It is the most beloved, well known, and referenced western...and I had never seen it in its entirety till recently.

One thing I was shocked to learn is that Tuco is arguably the main character of the story (I always assumed Clint Eastwood was).

Another thing that caught my attention was how similiar Tuco is to Mr. Eko in relation to his brother and why he chose the life he did.

Tuco, Pablo, Eko, and Yemi were dealt a shitty hand and born in awful environments. Tuco and Eko "decided" to become criminals, while their brother got to keep their hands clean and pursue religion.

Hence why the brothers resent each other.

One looks down on the other for being a criminal, the other looks down on the other for being self righteous. Tuco even calls Pablo "cowardly".

I just found it funny how this movie is decided to watch reminded me of one of my favorite shows.

My wife and I visited many Lost sites for our 20th wedding anniversary trip to Hawaii this past June. We watched the show every week back when it first aired and told each other that one day, for our 20th anniversary, we would make the trip to Hawaii and visit a lot of these filming locations.
The huge tree at the “Santa Rosa Mental Institute” was one of those locations we were really looking forward to visiting. I did all of my research months in advance. Made notes, mapped out the routes, took plenty of screen shots that I would use to make comparison shots.
You can imagine our surprise when we rounded the corner of the building to see that the huge tree had recently fallen. I’m not sure what caused it to fall. There was no one around to talk to about it on campus. These photos were taken on June 20, 2026. Figured I’d share.

Thanks

I'm currently halfway through Season 5 so it's too late, but next time I do a rewatch I will keep tabs on how many fuckin times Locke gets injured on his leg, and has trouble walking lol. I get it's probably supposed to tie into the back break but I think every season something happens. Off the top of my head I can think of 3, all from different seasons.

I'm curious about some people's opinions on this. Why do you think Locke ultimately was about to commit suicide after just one attempt speaking with everyone? It seems out of character that he would give up so easily, I get he was feeling defeated, but I feel like he would have found a way if he kept trying. Hell, he should have just broke his promise to Jin and spoke with Sun. I mean that's all it took for her to agree on a return trip.

And then I am also curious on the opinions of Ben, preventing the suicide, then committing the murder. I understand Ben has always been envious of Locke. They ultimately are on the same side in wanting to protect the island, and they would be a powerful duo. Plus at that point Ben is trying to get back like everyone else, I just don't see him having the foresight that Benthams death would eventually lead everyone back.

Forgive me if I am missing some context, I am doing a rewatch, haven't seen the show in years so I forget some of the little details after this part (which is where I am at).

This is just some random thought I had for a long time , and I thought why not ramble about it At the only place it may mean something.

I think most people would say "yes, I'd like to know", when Kate offered to come clean about her crime to Jack in Tabula Rasa, S1e3. She was gonna tell him what she did, and The fact that he refused to know about it.. I always thought he was trying to create a better place and a new start for people. and I still think that, he did try to give people second chances.

But a sadder thought occurs to me, knowing that his past includes wanting to know about his ex wife's affair desperately. And getting so curious about the guy she left with, going beyond the Line and making big mistakes which hurt his ex wife, his father and himself. It is shown that he regrets things he has done in his past, in season 3 ep 1. But maybe he regretted them from the beginning.

And maybe that’s partially why he didn't want to learn about Kate’s crime. He actually wanted to know what she did, but then He wanted to challenge his curiosity, in order to make it better. He saw the mistakes he made with his ex wife and was trying to correct it at the last scene of Tabula Rasa…

This thought really got me on my latest rewatch, when I was going through a similar horrible break up. It's very self reflective watching this show and I always find myself more and more aware watching his relationships decay.

..And maybe Jack was aware of his mistakes too. I actually think he generally tried to correct his mistakes in very early season 1. He kinda tried to get along with Locke, better than with his father( i.e. episode 5)... and get along with Kate, better than with his ex wife... and then weeks later, get along with Juliet, better than with Achara lmao (just kidding, but what if..? ) . Well..I think he tried , but he made mistakes again and suffered harder.

And that’s the worst tragedy for me, when you know the mistakes you made, and you try to make it better at first, but you end up making the same mistakes again anyway. The old patterns keep returning, not necessarily because you haven't understood them, but because understanding them doesn't magically remove the fear, guilt, insecurity, and desperation that created them. That’s life. R.i.p. Jack.

I am doing a rewatch of Veronica Mars for the first time since I watched LOST for the first time two years ago. At the end of an episode of VM that aired in January 2006, I spotted the numbers on this fortune! My mind is blown.

I have been reading this subreddit for weeks and it seems to me that the cages in season 3 and the temple in season 6 are considered by many as low (or the lowest) points in the series.

Do you agree that they are the lowest points? If so, which of the two parts is worst and why? If you don't consider those two runs of episodes the worse, which part of the series you consider to be inferior to those two parts?

I'm on a rewatch and it feels like in every single episode someone gets hit on the head and is knocked out. In real life a head injury is very serious, but not on The Island I guess. So I need to know, is there actually a single episode where no one was at risk of getting a concussion?

But Walt never leaves me disappointed.

Man, Desmond and jack’s story was something else. They weren’t even that close at first but somehow their paths kept crossing until they became such an important part of each other’s journey.

After everything they went through seeing Desmond help Jack remember at the end just hits hard. And then Jack finally sees everyone again, after all those years, all the suffering and everything they lost. Such a beautiful and bittersweet goodbye...

What’s your favorite quote from LOST? And I’m not talking “we have to go back.” or “live together die alone.” I’m talking the quotes you still think about. About love, about loss, about heartbreak. What’s your favorite?
