LOST Explained - The Theory of Everything: Part One (The Light, The Island & The Protector) 

The fact that this show ended over a decade ago and this channel is still active and posting content is incredible. Good stuff!❤

You know why I love the internet? I woke up this morning thinking about a TV show I used to watch a decade ago. That show was a little complicated, and I wondered what stuff I missed when I watched it. I search for an explained video, and here it is. Now I got my entertainment for the next little while sorted out. Thanks, my guy, you have made my day,.

i first watched this show during the absolute rock bottom of my life. I will never forget it. For the message, emotion, and not to mention brilliant story telling. Cant wait to watch it all over again for the 7th time. P.S. The music makes me cry every damn time.

Finally someone making a explanation that is about the mystery and the mythology. Most fans still latch on to "lost was about the journey and the characters" because they still dont know what the island is. Even I didn't perceive most of this in my multiple viewings, cause they are never explicit in the show.

Your critical reading of the show like a text is logically sound, well-supported, and a great service to Lost fans. So many complained about the ending for not spoon-feeding them a holistic explanation of the plot and every one of its finer points. In doing so they ignored the complexity of its narrative and rich philosophical themes. You exhibit here how the show endures in the minds of fans precisely because of its complexity and themes - and as one who feels the world is somehow lesser with the show off the air, I have faith it will return in some form in the future.

As someone who watched the series 4 times now, I take great comfort in knowing that I'll have a 5th watch in the future, when you do an ep-by-ep guide, I'll re-watch every episode with your guide and it'll be something else entirely!

Oh man, I hate to be another person that says this, but the natural reading is so much better than the text-to-speech of the video I came here from. I'm happy to wait for the rest of these videos, great work putting this together.

LOST is the only show that I keep rewatching again and again. And everytime I watch it I notice something that I didn’t notice before. It’s the only show that makes me care about so many of the characters. In my opinion it’s completely unique and it almost feels like a personal experience watching it. I don’t have a top 10 favorite tv shows (because it would probably rorate and constantly change) but I do have a top 1, nothing else comes close for me.

This video also made me realize that in season 1 when locke is looking out at the ocean through jacks eyes were meant to see him as crazy and a “nutter” according to charlie, but then much later in the series we see Jack staring out into the ocean the same way Locke was. He was just enlightened much earlier.

At 53 this is still my favorite show.

excellent work -- I recently finished watching Lost and naturally had a ton of questions. The series deserves more credit than I initially gave it credit for and this video really shows why. I was particularly interested in the sci-fi aspects of the series, which were very much secondary. I only wish the series could have incorporated what this video shows.

I love when Jack tells the MIB "I'm going to kill you." It's really the first time you see the MIB look nervous & uneasy. Each new protector seems to unlock some kind of knowledge that the island has held back until the right time comes.

A part of me, just a part, can't believe Cuse and Lindelof don't want to build on what they've created. There are so many ways to expand and fill in the future and history of the Island without actually compromising Lost.

Good afternoon, my name is Márcellino, and I am a Practitioner of Divinity. I have had a premonition of the future. This show will be revived soon. It's going to be great and raving with glowing reviews. P.S. I loved this show!!

W O W 😵😮😯 My mind is blown and it is only the first episode! What an amazing job you've done! I'm a fan of both Fringe and Lost and while Fringe was more of a scientific bend on supernatural things, I have felt from the beginning that Lost was a spiritual journey based on things science would try to explain away...The Island, the vortices, the light...Thank you for a terrific video! Subscribed.

Protector being a fail safe key of the island is a great observation. Charged Jack starting the ”engine”… didn’t see that coming. Superior work!

This masterpiece is only the confirmation that the Source has really found and chosen you to make its infinite complexities iundestandable to us mere humans... Nothing more needs to be said, except thanks !

Finally convinced my partner of almost three years to watch my favourite show with me. It'll be my fourth time through, and I'm so happy to have this insight this time around. Thank you!!

Since Lost I've watch Person of Interest, Manifest, Ozark, Stranger Things, and Cobra Kai. Nothing still comes close to Lost, just got done watching for my 7th time and sure I'll be on number 8 soon.

I feel a lot of emotions every time I watch LOST, I have been watching it since 2005 and every now and then I need to go back to the island. These videos amplify those emotions, thank you very much.

Currently watching this series for the 6th time and I'm just now really understanding (having gone through a spiritual awakening) how beautiful this story is at the core. Your series of explanations is brilliant. Thank you!

I've watched the whole series almost two dozen times, it's always gonna be one of my favorite series!

Rewatching the show for the umpteenth time with my boyfriend who’s never seen it. Your videos make me feel confident that I can explain things to him if he has any questions. Thanks for your hard work!

Best show ever. I just started watching it again. I was upset when Netflix dropped it. Thank God that Hulu picked it up

How did I just discover this channel? This video series is great, I'm so happy it exists! And I'm equally happy that other people love this show just as much as I do! 🛩️

You can see the show's creators tried to explain the concept of the island many times. It's great that you've pulled them all out. It's a good theory too. I like that "the light" is essentially some being that gives life to dead planets and in some way is the life of the planet. Using planets like hosts in a way.

I love your videos. I am so happy, that you have chosen to use your voice. It makes it much easier to consume but also forms a connection. Your work is incredible and satisfying to watch. the more I understand of the "endgame" (aka the seasons I didn’t like on my first few watches - 4, 5 and 6), the more I appreciate the whole piece of art. I also realize that I wasn’t fully ready for it. I was a teenager/young and inexperienced person. Now, years later, I am much more able to comprehend and connect to it.

Your editing is superb my friend. Both with your writing and with the construction of this video, well done! It has definitely shed some light into a couple of gaps in the lore for me. This show still remains one of the best after all these years.

This is the one show I'm obsessed with, just rewatched it again.

This is going to be sooo good, thanks!

You always have the most thoughtful analysis, thank you for these!

This is yet another incredible video. SO well done!

Another great installment. We appreciate it.

This is so great!! I love this and am looking forward to the next installments. Thank you so much ❤️

This is my favorite show of all time! I've watched it 3 times through but still had questions. I recently found your channel and it's been so helpful and eye opening! My son and daughter-in-law just completed their viewing and SHE also discovered u! We're meeting up this week to discuss our theories, etc, together because she was as moved by the series as i was! What a fantastic way to come together as a family! 👍😀 Thank you! Please don't stop!

I'm :18 seconds in and I cannot wait for all of the other parts to this. Thank you.

Thank you for posting this. This is incredible. Great analysis and content. Really enjoy the videos and concepts. Please keep up the great work.

the long awaited remastering of the theory of everything! love it

Great job with this video! This is the best analysis of Lost I’ve seen. Can’t wait till your next installment!

Love this channel so much. Thank you for your in depth analysis, there is surprisngly little on RU-vid ATM. You're content is by far the definitive video essays on Lost. Reminds me of the @TheSeanieB days.

This is a huge difference compared to the voice to speech .You have a great narrative voice

Brilliantly done, great job ~ shall look forward to the rest of these. Thank you 👏

Awesome video, mate. Thoroughly enjoyed that one

great job, thanks for redoing this series.

One of the best channels ever

Great video, you did an incredible job. I really enjoyed it 👏

This is a wonderful video series and channel. Thank you so much for your work!

After all this time Lost is still my favourite show and I keep rewatching it as a whole once in a while. This channel is very well made, even in my rewatches I can forget some details in the plot and this channel helps me to tight everything together. Thank you

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for making it

I freaking love these vids. The origins speculation was welcome input!!

i just rewatched this, so thanks for the perfect timing to help my brain make sense of everything.

Your videos are so brillant. I watch them multiple times, over time

Brilliant!! I've watched Lost 11 times until now and this show is a source of energy for me! I fully support your ideas in this video. Congratulations!!

As always thank you for what you do 💚🙏💚

Just watched Lost for the first time… amazing series!!! Thank you for explaining ♥️

this and part two are the most well thought out and comprehensive look at lost and the background stories that you unfurled carefully and completely. TY sooo much and keep up the great work~!@!@!@!@

Recently picked up the entire series. Looking forward to viewing your series.

Going through a rewatch and just found your channel. This is incredible content!

Wonderful, I have more insight into the show and now more questions, love it....!!!!

Wow this is fascinating! Cant believe I slept on this show for all these years

These videos are so good and I appreciate the effort you put into them. They also remind me of the endless discussions (Dark UFOs website anyone?) that were had during the torturous wait between seasons, between episodes, when the show would have a couple episodes and then take 2 weeks off, off a month for winter break and how 99% of the discussions turned out to be wrong 😂. It was so fun reading and discussing virtually everything and it’s now just as fun to have very well thought out ideas and explanations about what the show was all about in these videos.

Lost is such a beautiful show it has been my favorite story ever since the first time I've heard it and ever since then I have Revisited it how about five times now❤

What a terrific video! I am impressed not only by your mastery of video editing, but by the excellence of your analysis. Very well done indeed. My analysis is different from yours, but that does not detract in any way from my enjoyment of your very evidence-based perspective on the series. If you've read my stuff, you know I follow more of a faith-grounded interpretation of events, even though my training is in hard science (35+ years as a pharmaceutical R&D chemist). Regardless of the fact that we interpret events in sometimes quite different ways, we reach some of the same conclusions. If I understand your interpretation of the cork, for instance, I believe we find agreement that corking the Island was more of a positive fulfillment than 'corking' or imprisonment of evil, though obviously the MIB was imprisoned on the Island due to the power of the light. I can't tell you how much I truly enjoyed this video! There is so much garbage out there about LOST. It's hard to find the good stuff. Your contribution is definitely top-shelf. The only reason I began writing about LOST (I was featured writer at both SL-Lost.com and Dark UFO in the final season) was that the only thing available online at the time (2004-2010) were 'recaps', which simply regurgitated what had happened the night before. This was so utterly inadequate! LOST begs for analysis, and that's what you are providing here, and what I attempted to provide in my six books on LOST. Even 12 years later, I have discovered nothing on television matching the depth of LOST. GoT and now HotD have attracted more viewers, but the shows lack LOST's depth. Something can definitely be said for GoT's development of ASoIaF's preoccupation with the marginalized, what I call in my GoT analyses 'The Sisterhood of the Damned'; the theme is deep and worthy of detailed analysis. Even so, LOST remains far richer in subtext and depth of expression than even ASoIaF ever attains--and certainly D&D pretty much destroyed GoT in the last two seasons. Here's hoping GRRM can rescue his creation in The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring. I very much look forward to future installments of your analysis, and I recommend the series to all. Nicely done! Pearson Moore 2022.

Amazing work!

Thank the Gods I found this channel! I have been asking for this explanation since the friggin show started! I couldn't handle all the omni-directional "flashing".

Brilliant review i loved it

This is a fantastic video. Mind is blown!

I’ve watched and rewatched and rewatched this breakdown. Amazing what you’ve called out here 👍🏻

the runway part actually blew my mind

Great documantary. Now ı understand much about Lost. İ will watch all part. Thank you for making this documantary.

I love this channel!! Just started the video and wanted to ask if you can make the volume louder on the next one because its hard to hear on my phones speaker and one canalways turn the volume down but not up , thanks

much better with your voice! This is awesome. Thanks!

Great videos!!!! I watched them all! Could you explain how time travel works in next video?again amazing job!

Great explanation man

Amazing channel!! I’ve just started my second go through of Lost…I watched the original, then I would watch a bit here or there as I felt drawn to this storyline or that within that universe. Tonight I find your channel whilst browsing YT. It will be interesting to consume your content while I watch the series “chronologically” or as chronological as watching the seasons in order is. 🍺⚡️🍺

Just recently watched lost for the first time. This explains alot

Excellent question

Randomly stumbled on your video and was expecting a simple timeline. Instead I get a Dark Souls Lore level of a video. Great work!

I just finished watching lost for the first time last night. Can't wait to dive into this

I feel like your videos could also be a cool podcast besides the episodes here on yt, easy to listen to while being out :D Love your videos!

Great video....I loved that show

So excited for this!!!! Do my gal Juliet justice, I believe in you!!! Love this work of yours!

I remember watching your first videos with that shitty IA voice, and now you are making bangers with your very voice and it's even better, you are the best Lost channel that ever existed

Amazing work man, I’m glad you decided to use your voice for the videos now. Your voice is built for video essays

Would love to see a video on Ekos possible storylines if he hadn't been written off

Excellent!!!

you know more about this show than the people who wrote it. and you also did a better job explaining it

What a lovely video

LOVE IT!!!

You deserve much more views. I made some french videos about this.... Thing we obsess over that we call a show, and I align with pretty much everything you said. I made six parts too. Keep your real voice, keep on being this factual and most of all : thank you.

So worth the remake in your own voice - thank you

So glad that I found this channel.❤❤❤ I miss thinking about LOST I was so much into this show....I would put a pause on band practice just to watch it.😅 Great Times...

God I fkn love this channel so much

Jacob has always given me obi wan vibes and man in black always was like Darth Vader to me lol. I always wish there was more of both. I love both their characters the conflict the game the mythology love it all lol

Lost, one of my fav shows of all time. Its got it all, drama, mystery, comedy and more.

This guy understands the show better than the writers lol

They dropped hints in the show using dialog and objects. Ben was told to read a book again. The book was V.A.L.I.S. by Philip K. Dick. That one clue alone, besides others, made me think the island was either truly alive , or some ancient, sentient machine. Still operating.

Best lost video i have ever watched

Yes, beautiful voice. Great audio!

This was excellent. Watching lost for 1st time. I know im a tad late but im hooked. Im on season 5.
