      That's what I thought but didn't hurly help round them all up. So if he died possibly hundreds of yrs later he would have been the last to show up instead of jack. But some of the last season left me with questions. Like Claire and Aaron if Aaron didn't die why was he there(unless just to remind Charlie.

      ⁠​⁠@@nathanhawee5373One of the best theories I've heard is that everyone in this show's version of purgatory perceives the people they love as how they remembered them in life. For instance, Jack never got to see baby Aaron grow up, so it makes sense that he would perceive him as a baby when he meets his soulmates in that church. Everyone on the island has their own perceptions and versions of this church moment, but we get to experience Jack's because we actually see him die. Same with Charlie. In theory though, after Clare dies, she probably would've seen all her island soulmates as well as a grown up Aaron, but that's pure speculation and left up to us. It's one of the reasons I love the ending - it leaves just enough room for interpretation while giving us closure at the same time.

At work there was a bunch of us who would gather the next morning over coffee and dissect the episode from the night before. Not to mention there was a whole online world that was going on at the same time about the show. Even the writers made a website with a supposed page of script that told about zombies but it was just to throw us off. There has never been another series like this!

  • @yarostarak5977
    @yarostarak5977 Před měsícem +4

    The line when Jack's father says you built this place to help you all 'remember' is one of the most powerful pieces of writing I've come across in media, because it teaches through our current version of storytelling what many spiritual books and teachers have talked about since we first asked the question 'why are we here?'.
    Every spiritual teaching I've come across in some way talks about the purpose of life being to remember who or what you really are.
    If we are to believe we are all spirit having a human experience, which at birth requires us to 'forget' who are so we can truly live the experience of being human, that to me is the best explanation for existence I've come across.
    Lost ultimately left us with this message. They all came together, lived, loved, lost, fully experienced physical existence, eventually all died at different times and places, then moved on, remembering what they really are.
    This moment of remembering at death must be truly incredible. To finally know what you might feel or intuit in life, that stories like Lost allude to, would be the most wonderful experience of them all.
    I for one like to look at death this way, it makes it seem like an amazing transition and expansion of awareness.

    Ryan I need to thank you for making this video. You had me thinking about LOST again, when it was mentioned in the recent ACOLYTE you made, and how that show affected my life and my friends lives and is pretty much responsible for my kids existing. I had a group of 20 to 30 friends who would get together weekly for each new episode of LOST and we did this for 4 years. Anyway I personally really liked the ending of the show even if half the people in my group didn't. They mostly wanted answers to everything and I would always say that it is the journey not the destination that matters and that any answers they got probably wouldn't be as good as they answers we came up with together in our heads. The producers even released that deleted scene with Hurly, Mike, and Walt visiting the Dharma station in the real world saying something similar about getting answers. I really hope everyone who had a problem with LOSTs ending watches your video cause it will definitely help them understand better.

    One of the most misunderstood series finales of all time... And one one of the best. It gives closure to all its characters and wraps its story up in a such a poignant way that it makes you reflect on the entirety of the story. I'm so glad ScreenCrush finally made a video about it.
    And I don't mean to advertise someone else's channel on this one but if you're looking for a deeper insight that strengthens the messages of this video, check out LOST Explained. That dude does a six part mini docu-series that goes deep into everything on the show, from the island's origins, to the symbolism of the numbers, to the reasons these particular people were selected, and yes, to even the ending. The ending of that made me cry and reflect just as much as the show did.
    Anyway, great job ScreenCrush. You nailed the ending. I know it's a long shot but here's hoping for a breakdown of every episode (or perhaps each season). 🛩️🏝️

    I remember binge-watching the first 5 seasons, then watching the last season with the rest of the world as it came out. And I didn't quite understand why people were disappointed with it. I didn't catch all the answers at first, but felt I understood the finale and I liked it a lot at the time. This video really helps and is a great one to show people if the topic ever comes up, thanks for doing this, ScreenCrush!

    Spread the word! Not only did the show stick the landing, it also provided us with everything we needed in order to understand what was going on. The story was complete, the lore was deep, and the answers are all there. Just like Locke and The Swan, sometimes a little excavation is required.

    Lost was great. Loved the finale the night it aired.
    I'm always stunned since that time that not only did some viewers get it wrong back then, but that so many continued to insist on their misinterpretation in the years since.
    Now that it's all on Netflix I hope many more will enjoy and appreciate it.

    To me, as a life long LOST apologist and lover, I humbly submit, that the line of the show.....the theme of the show, really comes down to the line. " if we can't live together....then we will die alone" from S1 EP5 (the White Rabbit) which quite frankly speaking, is a sentiment we could use right now.

    I spent the better part of 15 years being pissed off at this series and it’s ending. The last few weeks I decided to rewatch it and finally finished it tonight. INCREDIBLY different perspective the second time around!!
    I think there has to be significant consideration made for the old “week to week” version of shows versus modern binge watching. So much of the detail in this show got lost (pun intended), overlooked, and/or forgotten week to week, season to season. When you can watch separate episodes in a shorter time frame, those details stay fresh on your mind and give the narrative much more color.
    If you loved Lost when it was on the air but hated the ending…I highly encourage you to rewatch it!

    • @joyb.5090
      @joyb.5090 Před měsícem +1

      I do think that the 1 episode per week format was great if you were super into the show, rewatching each episode, chatting on message boards and listening to the podcasts. It gave you time to process what was going on and catch things you missed when you watched it the first time. I can see how if you were a casual watcher of the show every week that it would be super easy to have missed a lot, or as you say forgot things from week to week. I was in the super obsessed category, lol. So when the finale came I was like, "I can't believe people didn't GET THAT!!"

    Amazing show that was misunderstood near the end. This was a greay breakdown, and seeing some of the scenes brought back some emotions from the first time I watched them, and got me choked up.

    Incredible breakdown! I have been one of those people who were interested in watching Lost. But, I never got past the first episode, because I came to it late and heard about it having an unsatisfying ending. I now feel excited to watch this series, especially since I'm one of those people who don't have a problem susupending there meta-knowledge of a show. I'll often purposefully watch your breakdowns before watching a show so I'll be able to watch it without having to pick out all of those special moments that make it so much better. Thank You! I appreciate all of the hard work, dedication, and passion you share with us.

  • @kellyzahara9561
    @kellyzahara9561 Před měsícem +4

    Thank you SO MUCH for covering Lost! This was absolutely the best show that has ever been made. I feel really bad for the show runners. If you watch all of the interviews they have done since the show ended, you will see that they wanted to have a definitive story from start to finish. However, the network didn't want the show to end, which backed them into a corner. They finally realized that if the show didn't end satisfactorily, their legacy would be ruined. So they told the network that if they kept Lost going beyond where they wanted to end it, they would walk. So all of the hate that gets heaped on the show runners is entirely unjustified. Just because they had to figure out how to get there with the network breathing down their necks doesn't mean they didn't have the ending planned. I agree with you, they STUCK the landing. With the very faint exception of Walt's story line, they answered every question they brought up. And that was only because the actor playing Walt was growing way too fast for them to keep his story coherent so they had to figure out a way to get him off the island. Can't tell you how much I appreciate your analysis.

    Thank you for the fantastic summary. I remember watching Seasons 1 and 2 growing up but never kept up on Free to Air television. Flash forward almost 20 years and I have binged the series over the last few weeks and I must say, it's now in my Top 5 shows of all time. And for me - it's all about the characters, their individual growth and connection to each other that make the show so great. I agree that the cool mysteries and sci-fi setting play a plot backdrop to this as the true story of LOST.
