The Most Asked Lost Questions! (Finally Explained) 

today I finished watching of lost for the tenth time in my life.. simply,the best serial of all times. nothing can beat this amazing.. The best part for me? The constant. lost for ever!! i will be watching it even when i be 50 year old!

Lock's smile with the orange inside his mouth beats every scary scene in all the horror movies 😂

It’s just what Desmond always said i’ll see you in another life And they all did ❤️❤️

I just finished a rewatch. I watched the finale live with friends and had mixed feeling about the ending back in 2009 or something . When I rewatched the show alone on Hulu and got to think about it more everything made more sense. There are moments in season 6 when they mention the importance of being together and the need to “let go” kinda to prepare you for the end. All of them needed to let go. The ending is perfect. I cried when Charlie and Clarie saw each other. t was really sweet. The characters are so well written and acted they seemed real. It’s an amazing show. And they did answer a lot of questions in the final season. And one thing I think makes most people come back to the show is the mystery and trying to figure it out. But the main reason is that you love those characters. The show is called Lost because the characters are lost and need each other. ( one of the producers said this). So it makes sense at the end they are together. It’s a crazy island 🏝 show but also a show about needing people. What better time to watch Lost now when we are all stuck at home wanting to be around the people who we love. My favorite is Hugo. I would love a spin off with Hugo.

Both Jin and Sun were Candidates. Jacob spoke and marked both as candidates when he touched both of their arms at their wedding as a friendly gesture. The name Kwon refers to their last names.

I would love a spin-off that explores the origins of the island that maybe ends with the woman that took Jacob and his brother from their mother, showing how she ended up being the guardian.

I think someone removed the cork again because everything is crumbling around us in 2020!

i just started a re watch the other night after all these years...i don't know why people hated the ending, i don't know why people had such a hard time understanding christians explanation about time...i still cry every time i think about vincent being there with jack at the end, even though i haven't seen it since it aired...you explained it perfectly...it was one of the best shows ever

I just finished watching the series for the second time. Binging it helps versus watching it weekly like I had originally did. I wanted to make sure I fully understood the series as I still had questions before the rewatch. This video confirmed that I understood more the second time around. Thanks for posting.

Personally I think lost had a great ending. The problem is too many people didn’t pay attention the entire time and missed a lot. Almost everything was explained in the show.

That was a great review of the series. I just finished watching the entire thing for the second time and ended up just as confused as I was ten years ago. Thanks man, good job.

Best explaination ever!!! I love this story and series as a whole. Ending and all. Thanks for the great video and amazing insight you give to the more complex details of the series

Thank you so much for this. I already knew about 75% of this (I’m a super fan) but this Is the single greatest thing I have ever come across to help me explain the series to people who don’t understand it, like my elderly mother. She loved the show but she was confused and this is the greatest way to explain it to her. Thank you so much. Sincerely.

I just watch for first time! I got addicted to it hard I finished the entire series in 3 weeks! I got the ending that they did not die from the plane crash. But I was trying to put my head around Jack having a son and everybody else's characters but how you explained it and I spent 2 days even writing notes to myself and you explained it perfectly. We forget that when we die or a past life it moves without time and you can't put a time on it! And understanding that Jack did not have a son but it could have been what may be would have been. And that they had such a deep connection all of them because of the plane crash and what they did to save humanity together all of them. Which is something I've always believed when we pass away our soul make connections are the people we have the deepest connections with that big things happen in our lives that change our lives and that is what happened with all of them on the island! I cried when Jack realized he was dead and then him and lock Shook hands and hugged each other it got me. But I cried often throughout the Series!

I agree with your analysis. The only thing i’d like to go deeper on is the idea that the island is an axis mundi. The show makes it very clear in the later seasons that’s what we are looking at. Hope this helps others!

Mmm so this means that Vincent is still alive😍

I just finished my 2nd viewing...really enjoyed your video. Few things I was confused about you helped me understand. Great job

Lost is my all time favorite show, I love that you do have to rewatch it to understand more. These videos help a lot. I do highly recommend to rewatch it, it really makes you thinks and it does things that most shows don’t do. Even if the ending still confuses you... watch it for Sawyer ahah and Mr. Eko, Bernard and Rose, Desmond all the good characters 😂😂

I've watched the show at least 3 times in its entirety, as a kid around 11 as a pure soul, again at 20 when I was more "spiritual" and looking for amswers, and again at 25 after I found Jesus! And it never ceases to amaze me how many connections to the bible it has . Even as a kid , the very thought of Faith vs science captivated my mind without ever knowing what real Faith was. This show fundamentally changed my view point in reality . I haven't ever gotten into a tv show like I have with lost! I'm glad to see it's still getting some love

I am honestly so surprised how many people genuinely don't understand this show. While I pick up on things each time I rewatch it, the main things you covered were so simple and spoon fed to the audience and people still didn't get it.

Dude, you got it down! Great explanations.

Just finished watching it for the 3rd time as well, one of my fav shows. I'm so glad u explained it like this. I alwayz kinda knew the last episode was way off in the future. I honestly wanted to see so much more from the show, definitely more about the island. Lost kept me wanting more no wonder I kept watching it over and over again. No matter what anyone says I LOVE Lost.

Omg I love what you pointed out about Mr Eko! .. him forgiving himself. (I know I ball my eyes out every time I watch him say his speech.)

After Desmond removed the cork, Hence the movie 2012 end of the world starts. And when Jack put the cork back in. That movie ends with world not actually ending. Great way to connect the movie with Lost.

Great job, it all makes sense now. Thanks

Lost’s biggest problem. It was too smart for a mainstream audience.

Fantastic Video - I love your thoughts, theories and opinions..............and i 100% agree with you on all of them as they all make sense. Well done champ and best wishes from Liverpool UK

Have to say one of the best explanations out here on RU-vid, I re-watched it recently having last watched it 10 years ago as I was watching the finale don't know why but was filled with lots of emotions and just started crying especially when Kate met Jack again I just couldn't hold back the tears LOVE THIS SHOW FOREVER

tku for your clarification when answering Q4. That makes sense. It hadn't made sense to me before.

Season 1 10/10, Season 2 9/10, Season 3 9/10, Season 4 10/10 Season 5: Bat Sh*t Crazy Season 6: Dragged out 6/10

I loved when they did the last scene with jack and i finally understood what " live together die alone " meant where they kept jumping back and forth between jack dying alone without them and him being with them in the afterlife!!! The show's very deep' devastating and amazing

I've never thought about a sequel but how you explained it and what could be in it would be awesome!

I love that u still love my all time favorite show. You would appreciate that I got to meet and hang with Ben in NY as he was a narrator for his wife's show. His wife oddly enough played his Mother on Lost :). I also met Sayid at a premiere. I also attended the producer's interviews and the museum in NY. Fun times!

I got some questions. I think I could think of many more, but these are some that came to my mind: 1. Who built the huge statue on the beach and how? 2. Why is the black smoke monster afraid of ash? 3. How can Jacob teleport to any place in the world, speak any language, know literally everything and watch 7 bilion people on Earth to pick candidates? 4. Why were "The Others'' kindapping people and children? Were the lists of people written by Jacob? 5. What was all that Walt and animals thing about? Like he was somehow atracting animals or something idk. 6. Why Claire left Aaron in the middle of the night and never came back? 7. What were the whispers everyone was hearing in the jungle? 8. Why The Man in Black just didn't leave the island how Ben did (using this strange wheel which teleported him somewhere)? Why all the people couldn't leave the island this way? Ben knew how to do this. 9. How did Ben know about moving the island with that wheel and how does it even work?

I love lost!! My fav series by a long wayy!! Im just about to watch it for the 3rd time myself. I really enjoy the different levels it has and that alot dont get what its about. Love your poster to!! Ps great video!!

Agree with what you said for me I'm addicted to this series I watched it 9 times. The other thing is Ben when he didn't go inside the church it meant one of the two things in my opinion : He didn't find peace and didn't forgive himself and moved on. OR he still alive and the reason why he was there is cause others kept his memory as part of what they have been through. I hope that you watched the " 10min secret episode" which was released after the 6th season which explains alot if things, like who was kept sending food to the island and such.

It was a really fun show to watch while it was on air. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Amazing video. Watched the show many times but the ending always had me somewhat confused as to what was real and what wasn't and watching your video really helped realize some things that are probably figurable as you listen to jack's father at the end but my brain likes to shut off when you most need it so yeah I never managed to figure everything out on me own. Thanks!

This was the most legit explanation i seen on RU-vid

So Vincent is just on the island by himself? I’m calling the writers. We need a sequel. Gotta make sure that pupper is ok.

It is not just a church that they are meeting in. Remember that the church was also the Dharma station, the lamppost. Which was a connection to the island.

Just finished it today, you cleared up quite a bit. I’d still like to know why women die if they get pregnant on the island. Great video!

Fantastic explanation. Thank you!

Finally someone who explained it so it's all clear to me now. Finally!!!!

' The Island is the source of all good and evil in the world' it's amazing how you can say that with a straight face 😆

thank u man so much you really explained it better than those who had real youtube channels for critics and commentary you should have channel for that bro

I love the questions it keeps me interested. My biggest question was what was up with the ancient society that lived on the island who built the temple and the statue. I know the statue is supposed to be symbolism for fertility so maybe they were having problems with giving birth because of the magnetic energy coming off the light. But some babies were born on the island so maybe it mattered on the proximity to where the light was being admitted from. Even though that would not make sense because the hydra island was miles away from the light but its just an idea.

I was thinking that a story involving Ji Yeon and Aaron may be cool.

3 of those 4 questions are addressed directly from the show. 1. What is the Island....Who the fuck knows....its really the only unanswered question. 2. Why were they there, simple answer, plan crash lol. Deeper answer, they were all broken and the island is kinda a home to broken people that might give them purpose or another chance. 3 + 4. Because they go hand in hand. No they were never really dead UNTIL the flash sideways, the flash sideways was a midway afterlife station where they all could meet back up and remember their lives and connections to one and another, so they could all move on together into the next or real form of the afterlife. Once the memories were "unlocked" in the flash sideways, they were finally able to move on if they so choose to ( Ben being proof of this and his choice to stay behind for a while to work on things. ) BOOM answer given....

Omg the music.... chills I miss it

This is the best explanation I've heard so far!

It's your "soul group" the people who meant the most to you. I actually believe this in real life....

I think the reason why people think they were all dead the whole time is due to the very las scene, if you can call it that, where they show the plane crash site again, and it's empty, nobody is walking around... Seems to suggest that that is the reality, while everything we saw was not happening on this side of life.

Hey. Just finished lost for the second time. I noticed as I'm sure a lot did that Jin was the canteate because his wife got pregnant and had her baby. I mean when lock is in the cave with Sawyer and he says he doesn't know witch Kwan is the candidate. It's obviously Jin because his wife had her baby. So maybe it was always Jin. But definitely when lock says he doesn't know witch one it is in the cave to Sawyer. Also would love a spin off of back when the statue was built and how Hugo got on. Him being the new Jacob he could of just touched Ben and made him immortal too. Great show!

Good video. One thing though was that Charlie was the first to realize in the flash sideways and showed Desmond.

ok somebody else HAS TO REMEMBER THIS cuz I'm going crazy about it. When the Oceanic 6 managed to escape the island they showed flashforwards of their life in the real world and then we discover that Jin is not with them and is supposed to be dead, HOWEVER they show Sun giving birth but Jin is actually in China (I believe) with no recollection of his past life and he was engaged to a woman and then this is completely forgotten and he actually managed to survive the freighter's explosion and ends up in the island again?? Am I the only one that remembers this??

I'm currently watching s4, I didn't mind the spoilers cuz I was totally lost by the flash forward to Jack's future. I was okay and getting it till that happened 😂 Thank you man from a fan from across the world [Syria] Thanks 💚 now I can finish it with love not confusion.

After I saw the merchandise, especially the Jack as a doll, I got Lost. 🤣 I saw another vid and someone said they didn’t die at the same time and the church was final goodbye but not all of them were dead at the same time.

Awesome video. Have you by chance read The Dark Tower novels? There is an almost certainly coincidental but VERY weird connection to that series, the Numbers, and the candidates. I don't want to type it all out if you aren't familiar with the Tower though lol.

Great summary. I'd love to watch that show through again (I binged it on dvds from 2008-11) now that I know where it's heading I don't think the ending will bother me as much. That said, season 6 wasted a LOT of time w/people just walking through the jungle when they could have been shooting, switching alliances, and slowly rolling out the reveal w/Allison Janney and the two boys instead of data dumping it all in the 3rd to last episode.

Good explanations thank you. Perhaps now I will rewatch the series as I was always dissapointed as I thought they were just dead lol.

I share your frustration with the purgatory, lol I wish the island would make its rounds in other stories. I saw a bonus scene with Ben and Hurley picking up Walt from a psyche ward and Hurley offers a Job. They could do something with that! Thay probably will, wonder years just came back, lol

Nicely explained brother. 👌 This show is so misunderstood. 😊

Explain how people went into the cave (that turns you into a smoke monster) to build a cork that doesn't actually function as a cork but as some kind of magic video game pressure switch that stops the flow of water into the flaming hole, making it the exact opposite of a fucking cork??? Why did Jacob get Widmore to bring Desmond? To do the thing in the finale? Then why did Jacob tell Widmore to do whatever it was AFTER all the Candidates were killed, and didn't tell Widmore where the Source is, so he wouldn't be able to find it? Why doesn't Hurley just heal Jack's fucking wounds with his protector powers??? Do Jacob's healing powers only work when making Faustian bargains to force people into being servants like with Dogen's son or Juliet's sister??? Jacob needs a man of faith with leadership qualities? Why did he cross off Mr. Eko's name, giving the monster sanction to brutally murder him??? This show is so vague and stupid and dumb. Jacob is objectively a maniac serial killer. You're telling me that Daniel Rousseau "needed the Island as much as the Island needed her"??? Having her team murdered by the Smoke Monster, the rest infected and turned on her, then her child stolen by Jacob's cult (lucky she somehow didn't die in pregnancy like all the pregnant women!), then surviving all on her own until gunned down by mercenaries??? I understood the ending and what the flash sideways are, it's almost EVERYTHING ELSE, that is just total sadistic incomprehensible insane nonsense.

Great explanation thanks!

I just finished watching Lost an hour ago (first time watcher) I HAVE NO WORDS. TEARS. THAT IS ALL I HAVE. AND QUESTIONS. THATS WHY IM HERE. OK BYE.

“Were they dead the whole time?” Absolute moronic question/statement

It help dude, nice video!

What is the island 1 eden We see Adam and eve (in cave) Evil serpent (smoke monster) Apple eat your banished(donkey wheel move you are banished) 2 Bermuda triangle People or ships plains ect disappear 3 were we come from when we are born and go after we die (There's a little peace of the the light in each of us If the man in black won And destroyed the island The light in us can't go back so we all stuck in hell

May be thats why some people said that they didnt like the way the show ended, because they didnt get it.. To me, was brilliant, the only possible way to end this wonderful journey. Every character you see in sideways or purgatory is already dead, trying to make things right this time like Ben for instance, he had to choose between his carreer or Alex, but this time he decided to save Alex.So, everyone of them died in their own time. Someone of them may have died of natural causes and some others not. But when all of them die they got together to go to heaven, thats why you see a white light in the final scene that gives us a sense of that. And in the end, Move on song is so wonderful and moving.

I was just rewatching lost and season 1, episode 15 where Charlie got a job to impress a girl and then robbed her kinda blew my mind. Cuz one of the scenes he comes to her house and asks where her dad is and she says “buying some paper company in Slough”. I then checked and Slough is the place where British “The Office” was based!!!! Was that done on purpose???

thank You for your explanations I just finished watching season 6 Lost was really amazing and I needed to understand also why wasn't Walt and Michael at the reunion

Okay so I’ve got a question.. if the flash sideways is purgatory and they’re just going around trying to find their loved ones/friends after their time on the island “most important time of their life’s” and connect with each-other to move on, does that mean they’re dead at THAT time? But not actually dead in the original timeline. You said that the flash sideways take place after they’ve died. So does that mean that just because it shows them all there in the church moving on, that they’re not necessarily dead in real life/on or off the island. That scene in the church could take place 20 or 50 or 70 years after the last of them actually died in real life?

thank you so much man for making this video, you fucking best explained what happened in the end

Wow this man sounds exactly like the Joker lol Good vid btw

I found the light on my recent trip to hawaii. It was uncorked before i got there.

ok cute but WHO WAS SHOOTING AT. THEM IN THE CANOE?? 😂😂

I thought it was Charlie that "woke up" first, and got Desmond to start moving on?

It wasn't a bad connection in the end considering how long was spent making it up as it went along. A collage of ish thrown against the wall that ended up an interesting mural.

The best explanation I heard

The problem I have with the flash-sideways and the ending is that it's irrelevant to the main story. It's basically after-life. You could have that in every movie, it's just an addendum. To me it's not really pertaining to the main story and doesn't add anything.

This is how I felt too

People who hate the ending don’t understand it.

I think the part that helped me the most was the list of Jacob's rules. It was a big "ohhhh.... ok" moment. He MADE the Man in Black be a dick. That makes sense. That explains why Jacob was actually evil. ^kidding of course. But the first 2 sentences were legit. That last rule made me laugh though.

Yes a new series showing the Island should be made ......and that huge statue story should be revealed

Awesome video man

Can someone explain how the ship crashed the whole statue and ended up inside the middle of the island? Also Jacob and his brother spotted the ship in the daylight but in the scene where they are shown crashing it is a stormy night? Can someone explain?

Got a question about Richard, the man who was granted immortality by Jacob. Did his immortal status end once he left the island? Or maybe when Jacob died? Because I think people would notice if there was an immortal man back in the 'normal' world once he left on that plane... Perhaps that's not answered and we just assume that he died at some point.

I guess you're theory is just as good as some of the others that I've heard 👍

The only way to make sense of it all is to say that the island's properties are as such that it coexists in our reality and the divine since many other characters are from different times/eras.

I couldn't imagine ABC putting together a cast this good again to bring the show back. Or any other network for that matter. I feel bad for anyone who watched this show without a decent surround sound system. They missed so much.

This show was a sick experiment to see how long they can get people to watch something that makes absolutely no sense

Im in season 5 rn. I realise how amazing and confusing this show would've been 10 15 years ago.. Fortunately i watched DARK before Lost.. once u watch DARK, every other Sci-fi/timetravel movie/show is elementary

Lost was ahead of its time; people just didn't get it.

It's been a long time since I've watched it, but I've just remembered this: Walt had the ability to manifest thought into reality sometimes, but he didn't know about his powers. Stuff that he thought about would just happen, correct me if I'm wrong. Couldn't Walt have created the whole island by accident when he was on the plane?

not that you are wrong at all cuz it all makes good sens when you explain it. But it really just sound like a stupid plot... Good video mate!

The dead people was Jacob guiding 815 survivors via the island. This explains Walt being alive who Shannon saw when he was on a different side of the island. However some of them are the man in black guiding them as seen with ekos brother (yemi) who the smoke monster pretended to be for a while before killing him because he was a candidate. In conclusion the dead you see on the island are Jacob and his brother pulling strings while the living live their destiny on the island and those who die are in the church with them (because time don’t matter there)P.s Charlie was the island using Charlie’s soul from heaven via Jacob to talk to Hurley but Jacob still had to see him in person eventually. I think Christian at the beginning was the island because it ultimately guided them to the cave where the water is but it collapsed not too long after so it could have been the smoke idk but Christian in the shack with Claire was the smoke when locke came in.

I thought the island was the centre point of collective consciousness. Life and death And rebirth. The heart of creation. Essentially the lifeblood of the earth. The glue that holds existence together. If a pocket of energy is cracked and the energy spoons out, Then you're essentially cutting the jaguar vain of the Earth. that good and evil analogy was only described to Richard. Because that's the only way Richard a religious man would understand it.

i still dont understand why Michael and Walt were not in purgatory with everybody else. was it because Michaels spirit was trapped on the island and he could not move on? but then why wouldnt Michael have been on the plane when it landed in LAX. and i also dont understand why Mr Eko and Anna Lucia werent in purgatory either (besides when she was a cop and helped Kate, Sayid, and Desmond escape)

Thanks for making this video. I dont mean any disrespect towards you, but I disagree with you on about half of the info on this video. First off, I dont think the flashsideways is purgatory. The flashsideways is just another life that is just as real as the life the Losties lived in the island timeline. In "Ab Aterno" Richard told Jack while on island that he was dead and in hell. Jack also realized he was dead in the flashsideways when he saw Christian in the church. What I mean is that the flashsideways we saw was another life we see into that occurs after the island timeline, but there are also previous lives before the island timeline. Richard considered Jack dead on island not because the island is purgatory, but because Jack died in a previous life and was reborn into the life where we see their time on the island. Jack realized he was dead in the flashsideways, but this doesnt mean he was in purgatory. He just realizes his previous lives where he had died. In "Aceoss the Sea" Mother told Jacob that the light is life, death, and rebirth. Desmond told Jack in the final episode that when Desmond goes into the light he will go into the flashsideways. The light is where new life comes into this life and is reborn from a previous life. Here is some proof. In 4x11, Richard visits 6 year old Locke in 1960s and puts out things before Locke. Richard asks which of these things are yours already. He is asking like Locke lived a previous life. Additional evidence for this theory is Richard finds that 6 year old Locke drew a picture of the smoke monster. Maybe from a previous life. In season 1, the next life has been mentioned. Nadia says that on back of a picture to Sayid in 1x9. In 1x16, Christian tells Sawyer in the Austraillian bar, that he is currently in hell. Also, in 1x11 and 1x22, semantics is mentioned like it is a clue that the viewers should understand some comments from characters should be taken in othet ways. For example, Michael says he was a construction worker in a previous life. In the pilot, Rose says the smoke monster sounded familar. Like maybe she remembers it from a previous life? In the pilot, Kate says Charlie is familar. She later thinks it is because Charlie is from Driveshaft. However, is it because they have met in a previous life? Remember Rose thought smoke monster sound was familar.
