It is a fairly long series, Carmen, so I would really recommend doubling up on episodes. But also, you don't want to go through it too quickly because part of the fun is pondering the mystery and questions raised.
I'd probably agree with you if the writers didn't openly admit they were making it up as they went along. Some of the worst writing on television, and if this show hadn't been released during the golden age of TV, it'd have been cancelled after 3 seasons. JJ's "Mystery Box" at it's worst.
RE: Kate's counting - she was trying to take a lesson from Jack's story in an attempt to overcome her terror of the situation. "Let it in....let it take control....but only for five seconds....."
Lost is indeed a journey. It’s a show that was binge worthy before binge worthy was even a thing and pretty much set the stage for other shows with non conventional story lines and complex plots The pilot episode alone was close to $14 million to produce, making it the most expensive pilot at the time, most of it was buying a decommissioned plane and tearing it apart for the crash scene that actually caused some locals in Hawaii to call 911 because they thought it was a real crash.
It's not "binge-worthy", it's cable television at it's most manipulative. Ooooh what's that noise in the forest? Oh it's this machine but watch out, it's a polar bear! Oh okay, that's where the polar bear came from, but what's this giant foot about? Who cares, nobody got on the plane, Hurley owns a chicken shop. Wait, no, yes they did - and there's two guys having dumbass philisophical nonsense conversations on a beach to pad out the episode. To hell with it, just go back to the original idea, they all died, it's purgatory. Such great writing.
The trick of watching the show is to...watch it. People are tempted to convert a bare wall of their house into spot where photos are posted, with scribbles and strings connecting events or characters together, as if they are tracking a serial killer. No! Just watch and enjoy the mysteries, unexpected events, random new characters, wild backstories, and of course SEASON FINALE CLIFFHANGERS. You may be tempted to binge watch. That works too.
The worst thing you can do with LOST is enjoy the mysteries. Understand every mystery will be answered with another mystery, before finally wrapping around to the idea everyone guessed within 6 episodes. JJ is a hack, and the writers he left behind had to pick up his Mystery Box crap.
Cat's location on screen was really cool because occasionally it looked, from the edge of my eye, like there was a cat IRL in my room chilling next to my TV screen. :)
Welcome to LOST, Carmen, another JJ production. I repeat what I said before that you should probably have someone else monitor the comments because of the HIGH potential for spoilers, even inadvertent. If not the story, then the way the show is presented. During the TV run, there were LOTS of internet conversations of people's various ideas, but unfortunately to do it today would be spoilers. And you don't want to be spoiled. The fun about LOST is the ride.
Oh my god! Carmen! I am beyond excited for this! Yay yay yay yay! I could just scream, that's how stoked I am about it. LOST is the best. You're watching all my favorite shows. This is awesome, you're gonna love it, and you're gonna love talking about it. Best mystery box show of all time.
The squeal I let out when I saw you had posted this video was not natural 😂 LOST is one of my all-time favourite shows, I'm so excited to see you reacting to it! 💖💖💖
Subbed for LOST!! Trust me, you are in for an incredible journey! This is my favourite show of all time and I'm so happy you ard reacting to it!! Welcome to the island!!
Yay this is one of my favorite series of all time. Watch out for spoilers I know as always but people seem to spoil and even light spoil this show. Can’t wait to see a fresh take from a new perspective I tend to love your takes and agree with your opinions!
I just found your channel and subscribed for LOST. Welcome to The Island. Two pointers, the details are important and a good memory lol. Enjoy the ride. Also, the people who don't like the ending were the ones not paying attention and thus didn't understand it. I judge people's IQ by how much they understood the ending lol. Hope you feel better soon :)
I'm ready to get Lost with you Carmen! Your excitement over the doggo is my kind of doggo energy! And as always, love how your kitty/kitties like to make an appearance.☺💚
You just finished my second favorite show of all time (BSG) and now you're starting my number one favorite show of all time (Lost)! The universe really wants me to watch your reactions, lol.
Favorite show of all time! I watch it at least once a year, as it’s still AMAZING on the rewatch! Wish I could go back and watch for the first time again. Definitely subscribing 🤩 Heads up: The ending is more than satisfying, and the perfect way to close out the show! I have a feeling that the people who didn’t like it, just didn’t pay enough attention to understand it. I don’t know you, but I’m stoked for you to start this wild ride!! 🏝️
To paraphrase Jaws, you're gonna need a bigger notebook. Get yourself a pack of like a dozen. They'll fill up fast. Welcome to LOST - other than Big Bang Theory, this is the last network show I ever watched first run - in 6 seasons didn't miss a single first airing. Sit back and enjoy...it's going to be a long, strange and VERY worthwhile trip.
Probably still the greatest pilot ever shown on TV. I missed the initial hype and caught S02E13 with friends, and thought it was worth watching. Ended up binging 24 episodes in one weekend. The characters are just so good ! Kate is counting to five because of Jack's story about how he beat the most terrifying experience of his life.
Oh my god. Is this real? You never saw LOST??? Okay...Back in LOST again then. we're off for 6 seasons of 22 episodes so until the end of the year. LOST is one of my all time favs. Don't listen to people who didn't like the end, it's a beauty series. Ok Carmen. 🤐🤐🤐
I also started LOST a few months ago (currently at S3) and it's so crazy to see someone else starting the show since it was a huge thing when it came out so almost everyone has seen it. I also heard about how fans didn't like the ending so I'm so curious lol
I'm always happy to see new people discovering what for me is, my favorite series. I've watched it 8 or so times, I've watched a lot of reactions to it.
- Nice to meet you Carmen & Samuel. (Samuel is very cute by the way) - Most of us Losties love to use the word "journey" for the LOST ride. But "roller-coaster" might be a more appropriate description, you'll need to decide that during your journey. - Forget about the controversial ending because %80 of the controversy is based on some total and frankly stupid misunderstanding. I am one of those fans who weren't 100% satisfied with the last season and as a result, the ending; but I assure you the "journey" is definitely worth it. - LOST's story-telling is similar to giving small random pieces of a huge puzzle at a time and you don't have the guiding picture on the box. It's quite interesting. - As a result, LOST is not a very casual show to watch; please pay attention to details in the storylines, minor reveals, clues, etc... something seemingly irrelevant or trivial might become a more important plot-point or lead to a quite enjoyable plot-connection later, even seasons later. When it first aired, fans were so obssesed about the show they've talked about it a lot, had re-watch sessions in breaks, read about in online, made researches on forums, discussed theories, freeze framed details, etc... as a result writers trusted viewers to catch subtle clues and details in future seasons because they knew even if someone doesn't catch it right away, a friend will help them see or they'll read it online, etc... You can't depend on that type of help which means you'll have to depend on your memory and notes alone. So, keep yourself alert. But don't let this discourage you, it's not incomprehensable, just requires some attention. - Don't be emberrassed to put out theories and guesses, even they end up wrong and ridiculous, we've all been there. - Avoid searching anything, not even actors, writers, etc because internet is full of MAJOR LOST SPOILERS. - If you can arrange a reliable LOST-expert as an admin in this section to get rid of spoilers, comments might be your mate and guide in this journey. We might point out stuff that you've seem to miss during your reaction, of course in a non-spoiling way and when it's only in the way and time absolutely as the show intended. - I hope your episodes flow is stable though, there have been many inconsistent LOST reactors on RU-vid which is very discouriging with this kind of show. Of course, occasional breaks will be inevitable as life goes on but please keep us informed about delays and etc... - It would be nice if you can release the season finale parts in the same day as because they're aired in the same day and intended to be watched as a single long episode. Thank you :)
Yes. The very end is very divisive (like G.O.T., I guess…) But the ride is amazing. Great acting, great production value. The pilot episode was the most expensive pilot ever (up to that moment).
Love the reaction! Loved your Battlestar Galactica reactions, my 2nd favorite show, and Lost is my favorite so this is awesome! Lost is certainly a journey, so have fun and enjoy it!
haha, she's watching LOST. Good luck. I hope you like mystery on top of mystery all reflected between two mirrors, because that's what it feels like watching it.
Hi! I just found you today. This brings me such a great nostalgia. I have to admit that I'm one of those who didn't understand the ending. I still don't. I've had people explain it to me, but no dice! But I can be slow on the uptake, so .
When Malaysian Flight 370 went off-course and vanished years after LOST, it reminded the fans of the show how possible it is to lose a big plane like that. They are still looking for it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yc6Ui6ld6Ik.htmlsi=dakuQ_B7uuCarMK0 Great Reaction, feel better, and enjoy your journey.
My fave characters haven't appeared onscreen yet. When this was on the air, I told my aunt that if it didn't do well in the ratings, they could be rescued! Depending on how you interpret the finale...Are they rescued? Aren't they? Curious to see your conclusion! Re: Galactica: will we see your reaction to Caprica?
Carmen Young you enjoyed Fringe and now you're heading down an even bigger rabbit hole. Make sure you strap yourself in for this giant rollercoaster you're about to face
Great reaction ! Glad to see you’re taking notes. This show is so well done, from storyline to character development to writing, casting, etc. Subbing and looking forward to taking the journey with you. Welcome to Lost. 🌴😎 PS: spoilers will ruin the experience, if you can enlist a mod to scan the comments before you do, that would be good. 👍🏻
Welcome on the Island. Have a nice journey...better than the survivors of Oceanic 815’s one. 😁 In the original scenario, Jack was supposed to die during the episode pilote. Michael Keaton was supposed to play the role. But, the writers changed their mind, kept Jack but Keaton couldn’t stay for more than two episodes, so they hired Matthew Fox. Good choice.
Wow thats great news!! But i highly recommend that you upload atleast two Episodes per Week, otherwise its gonna take forever.. :D I will watch every reaction. Loved your Finge and Dark Reactions aswell.. ;) Also Lost is a good Show so its a no brainer. :D
First 4, maybe 5 seasons are the best television has to offer. It and Game of Thrones share a special place in my heart... Best series ever with the worst endings ever.
Decent stuff from you, just a tip: try harder than ‘I like Jack because he’s the main character and I’m supposed to’ I know you’re American so you don’t really know how else to think, but decide for yourself if you do. Likewise Kate as the female equivalent. If you like them, you like them, but just because they are rammed down your throat in cliché tv formula is pretty poor. Don’t worry, 95% of people are the same, but decide for yourself. You’ll definitely get more out if it. And good luck with spoilers on here, I’ve seen these lost commenters, they are pretty brainless. I hope to see episode 2 soon!
Let me save you some time - the show sucks after they find the hatch, the writers had no idea what they're doing or what the overall story was, none of this will pay off for you.
That's so strange, for some reason I thought you already had reacted to LOST and i watched it...but maybe that was just a prophetic dream lol. But you are the perfect person to be reacting to this! I mean I know its a bit early yet haha but I can't wait to see all the crazy theories you come up with like we all did when it was live and everyone was trying to figure out wtf was going on hahaha
