This channel's definitive explanation of the mysteries and mythology from the seminal TV series LOST (2004). Part Three covers the nature of the game between Jacob and the Man in Black. We shall explore how "the rules" work and what they specifically cover; the history and ethics of The Others and how their society functions; the nature and purpose of The Candidates and how they were selected; and how the Man in Black "claims" and "infects" people.

I have been re-watching this show with my family and using these videos to help explain things to them. The amount of new things you can learn even after 3 watch-throughs is amazing. Love this show so much.
Thats a lot of re watching.
@@Luke_wait_for_it_marengo I have a lot of time... lol
@@iamme201 fair call there mate.
if they ever relive the Lost franchise, you need to be in the writers's room, at least as a consultant. nice job with these videos!
That would honestly be my dream job. 🙏
Up
So much better with your voice and not the bot sounding one. Was loving anyway but got to the long ones and have been binging hardcore!! Great work my guy. Appreciate you!
I couldn’t get beyond 30 seconds of the AI videos. And I know it gave him plenty of views and watch time but he would probably keep people around if he deleted those. I almost hit the do not recommend channel button until I randomly found this playlist of his. His voice is perfect. That AI voice was awful with even worse audio quality. Im here for these!
Clear my schedule! I’m busy for the next hour and forty five minutes.
That's what I like to hear! :-D
Little longer for me, I find myself going back 10-20 seconds from time to time 🤯
Yep we all in!
Now that he stopped with the AI voice, I can actually enjoy it myself. I watched this show way back when they first released the DVD box set and I fell in love with the show. I was like 17 maybe 18, it was before 2010. I don’t have Disney Plus and I think it would seem a little too corny to watch nowadays because it definitely had a sitcom feel to it. So these videos bring me back! Thank you, channel owner!!!
@@juanthompson7395Sucks because this series, the longer “explained” version is the only content that is listenable. The rest is AI voiced. But these ones are good.
I think we're going to need to watch that again.
I am so glad you are still making these videos. When I found your videos I binged all of them and watched the series again after your analysis and I got so much more from the series thanks to you. Please keep making these. Though the show is long over these are great. Episode breakdowns would be awesome with full spoilers. THANK YOU!
That's music to my ears, Kelly! Once I have completed 'The Theory of Everything' series (three more parts to go), I shall be launching the episode guide, which I am really excited to do. And it will be made for the fans rather than newbies, so therefore it will be totally spoilerific. That way we can talk about and link ahead to future episodes and make connections.
@@LOSTEXPLAINED108 awesome!! I have tried to get some episode guides and they are all designed for people new to the series and never reference the overarching story, lore, or future episodes. Glad to hear you are making it for us LOSTIES!! I cannot wait.
I’ve just finished lost for the 2nd time. I’m just not done. These vids are amazing. I may have to rewatch it again
THE ISLAND ISN’T DONE WITH ME
I wish Mr. Echo had stuck around. He was such an amazing character!
I agree, it sucks that he died so early into the show... John Lock and Echo was a great duo in my opinion
I wish i could see echo versus linus
Too bad the actor that played him wanted to leave. Its why his character died so early in Season 2.
@@spirit_green season 3 but yeah it really sucks
Best series' best analysist is back at it again with the white vans!
Daaaaamn, Daniel (Faraday)

I just want to say thank you for these videos, the amount of hours you put into editing, scripts and research, I can't even imagine.
You also have the perfect voice for narrating the story, it's soft, clear and very easy to understand even for a non-native english speaker (it's my 3rd language).
Once again, thank you for doing these videos, they are truly something else, it's like watching the same yet completely different version of "Lost" once again and I just appreciate it so much, thank you! 🖤
Also Lost has this very peculiar Obsession with “Dan” as a first name.

You're gonna love this one, folks!
Thank you, Christian! :-)
I love your comment!
@@LOSTEXPLAINED108whats up with the 🐍 on the logo on the dharma logo ? Seems every culture here around the world there it a type of snake worship
@@oscar_jjuarez5266 It's a swan to represent The Swan station. Every DHARMA station logo has a different picture that represents the specific station.
Now ı understood Lost more than before. Every Lost fan must watch these documantary series. Thank you so much !
Lost might be the best title to describe a show!
I can only imagine the amount of work to create this content. Fantastic work. love everything about this. You’re crushing it
I was traveling when you released this on Patreon and only watched the first half and totally missed the Eko part. Hells yeah, Eko is a real one. A total G.
Agreed! Eko is one of my favourite characters on the show. And considering how short lived his arc ended up being, it shows how much impact he had.
So sad the actor who played Ekko wanted out because his was one of the most compelling stories on the show and would have loved to see where it went.
It's one of the biggest "what if" scenarios from the show for me. All we know for sure based on what the writers said is that Eko was supposed to have Desmond's flashes and be the one to deal with Charlie's death arc; that he would be drawn into a longer and more involved conflict with Locke over spiritual leadership of the island; and that they had a general arc mapped out for him for several more seasons to come. But they gave his flashes storyline to Desmond and other unknown elements to Ben (my guess is they transferred over the whole conflict with Locke). By Eko leaving, we got more time with Desmond and Ben, and it's hard to imagine LOST without either of their awesome arcs. But I can't help but wonder what would have been...
@@LOSTEXPLAINED108 I wonder if Eko would have been the one to spin the donkey wheel, and not Ben.
It's hard to know how much the writers had planned ahead in terms of plot at this point, but I feel like Eko might have been more likely to follow the path that we see Ben eventually take and becoming the one to kill Jacob, who is someone that Eko might have viewed as a false god. We see the DNA of this idea survive to some extent in Eko's final episode 'The Cost of Living' with the Man in Black trying to manipulate and control him by appearing as Yemi. I imagine that Yemi would have made more appearances throughout the seasons, guiding and coercing Eko along the way.
The Legend is back 🙋😎💐
Bro! Let’s go! 😂
I am ready for a second watch homie. Great job as always!
Ashton, you continue to be an absolute diamond of a supporter on both here and the Patreon. Thank you ❤️
I can't get enough of these. They are so good and seem to be a huge part of the Lost story. You are wonderfull. I would love some input on Rose and Bernard also. They seem to have a little story of there own. Especially as Season 5 unfolds
Thank you, Silas! I will explore Rose and Bernard within the context of the show before the end of The Theory of Everything series.
I gotta say, I watched LOST years ago, long enough after it ended that the novelty of it had worn off, but not long enough that people were nostalgic for it yet. It was so frustrating to find hardly any discussions or communities around this show at the time, when it had once been the biggest thing on TV! I’m so glad to have found this channel now! Glad to see others are still obsessed with this show like I am
Watching your videos reminds me how much I loved the show back in the day and how I love how you explain every tiny little bit in a way I never thought of before.
as always thanks for all your hard work!
I love these videos. It makes the show even greater when you consider the depth of research and knowledge you share with these videos. Incredible. Makes me love the show even more. It’s crazy how well this programme was written
Dude I just started watching lost 2 months ago when my wife showed me, just finished watching the uncut finale on Hulu last night. Subscribed...
I think you should do a complete chronological timeline on LOST! Using this series as basis.
Did the Island have a rule against product placement? Is that why everyone wears plain shirts with no logos, clothes with no labels, and eats Apollo bars and Dharma cereal? My god, what sort of power is this!!??
Love all your work!
You'd think at least one can of coke would have survived the crash! Do Oceanic water bottles count? 😂
Amazing content, as usual!
Thank you for your great work!
The Island isn't done with us yet!
Excellent video! This series always covers answers to questions I did not realize I had. Lindelof and Cuse would be so proud. Keep them coming!
Just come across this video always loved lost since it first aired in the UK I think the sickness that sayid had was basically the equivalent of ptsd almost to the point of being a fugue state rather than a sickness created by the island your insights are brilliant and you've convinced me to rewatch the series in a new light
Another, great, video. I built a lighthouse and saw this coming in the mirror. You followed your predestination. You have remained faithful.
Oh my god yes 🎉❤
Your essayist skills and deep dive interpretations are elegant, thoughtful and extremely well presented. Extremely impressive. if you decide to analyse another show... please let us know
PLEASE keep up the wonderful work! You're videos are amazing and incredibly well put together. TY so much for taking the time for these videos and enriching the LOST experience as a whole! CHEERS mate!
This is such a great analysis and definitely made me realize things about the series that I hadn't before.
Watching your channel should be mandatory for anybody who just watched Lost for the first time.
This is the kind of video I’ve been waiting for! Thank you for all the work this series had to take, very well written and edited! Love this series
i've binged almost every single video that has your voice in it, the videos are so amazing and fun to watch while learning so much more about my favourite show, and your smooth voice does an even better job explaining everything, love your work and keep it up!
Excellent video, as always. You’re videos inspired me to rewatch the series. I was 19 when it premiered and I watched it as it aired. With maturity and your insights, I got a lot more out of this rewatch than I did when I first watched it. Great work and keep these excellent videos coming ❤
Your videos are always top quality. You bring a whole new layer to a show I've seen twenty times
So I have watched all your videos so far, and im gonna invest the 1oo+ min on this, my question is how close am I to my masters in lost, and can you confirm that I am on pace (not Charlie, see what I did there?) for a doctorate in LOSTology? Brilliant as always, thanks for your dedication
LOL! I'd say that you are three more videos away from graduating with honors, my friend.
@@LOSTEXPLAINED108 its going on my resumé
This show is DEFINITELY made for lots of reruns. Not just dialogue and clues on what they say, but you'll constantly see one of the crash survivors in the back ground of some flashback of other characters.
This is brilliant! You do such a good job of explaining things, I don't have the same confidence as you do that the writers had any of this planned, but you do an amazing job of connecting it regardless! Thank you!
These videos are so well thought out. Kudos!
Fantastic videos, cant wait for the next part! Ive seen Lost 4 or 5 times (and just about to start again because of your videos 😁) and youve still given me many many new perspectives, absolutely love your takes!
Excellent video! Absolutely loved it mate.
I do wish that the rules had never reached Hurley though. In the flash sideways when the plane lands in L.A and Sawyer tells him that he shouldn't be telling people that he won the lottery, Hurley tells him it's okay because nothing bad ever happens to him. Hurley is happy in a world without the island, he does good for people. Then he meets Libby and remembers, I always get a bit sad about that.
Hurley was happy to take over the role as protector and he surely would have made a fantastic one, but I can't help but be sad about how happy he was without the island.
I don't believe Hurley would have stayed as a protector for centuries like Jacob and Mother did. It wasn't in his nature to want to hold power for a long time. He was the right man for the job in the aftermath of the Island War, but he wouldn't have wanted to watch all of his loved ones age and die around him. I think that's why we see him and Ben pick up Walt in the epilogue. It's heavily suggested that Hurley will pass the torch onto Walt in the years to come. In the sideways, everyone gets to experience what their lives might have been like without The Island and had Jacob not interceded in their fates. The important part of their lives was that they found each other; something that would not have been possible without their experiences on The Island. So, even though they suffered greatly there, they also found their soulmates along the way.
I can't watch right this second but I am SO happy this is out!!!! Thank you and congratulations!
These videos are very well put together. Lost was lightning in a bottle; no other shows have come close, not for lack of trying.
Anyways, glad your channel is still keeping Lost alive!
Amazing video! Your explanations are incredible.
Hey man you work very hard i can't even imagine how much time and effort it takes to edit the video ... Hope you earn enough from this :) . I really enjoyed your videos goodluck :)
These videos are great for people who really didnt see the connections between the characters and that there really was an overall plan for the series and those who STILL think they were DEAD the whole time. There so many things I missed during the original run.
I still wish they would do a sequel series starting with Hugo, Ben and Walt running the Island to see whats been going on the last 13 years starting with the 12 minute NEW MAN IN CHARGE epilog. They could have recruited a new group of scientists to study the Island and help those souls trapped on the Island like Michael to move on to the Sideways/Purgatory universe on their way to THE LIGHT.
Some of those who left on Hydra Island on Flight 316 could make a return as well.
I love these videos so much, I’ve been listening at bedtime, but I really wish there weren’t so many ads… though I understand why they’re there. Amazing job explaining everything!
I hope creators of Lost find your account and they will be inspired to make a sequel or restart
Great stuff. Looking forward to the next one
Another great video. Thank you so much for your excellent content. I'm looking forward to your bootstrap paradox video. I hope it will touch on Sawyer's part in it at the well when the island skipping through time. His holding the rope that John was on then skipping backwards with it in hands, I believe led to someone finding the rope and then digging the well...
It did indeed! I have discussed the rope part of the time travel loop on the channel before (one of my earliest videos), but I shall be returning to it in more detail in the next video. There are quite a few causality loops in Season Five and most people don't always catch them all. The rope is definitely one of them.
I've always wondered just how sentient the Island actually is... 🤔 as in some ways it does seem to show alot of self awareness in a way.
I absolutely believe that The Island is alive and sentient. I discuss this very concept in The Theory of Everything: Part One, which delves into the origins of the island. You can view it here: czcams.com/video/oTZ88eUQrJo/video.html
Amazing video series, thank you!
This was fantastic!!! I love your videos so much and can't wait for the next one! I hope it will explain one of my favourite episodes "Flashes Before Your Eyes". That one always confuses me.
You will be pleased to hear that I am absolutely diving back into 'Flashes Before Your Eyes' in the next video.
Another fantastic video!! Thank you
your series is very well edited, narrated & paced, thank you very much for making these & bringing me back to one of my favorite stories. i've learned so much in your theory of everything & will be diving deeper into the mythology & layers of the series with all of the videos. it's been many years since the last rewatch & when i'm ready for the long journey i'll be going in extremely well prepared for all of the mysteries, connections & hidden details like it was the original broadcast & i was running to the pc the next morning to search for screencaps for key scenes to find new clues!
My primary objective with this channel is to deepen and/or enrich the mythology of the show for fans (and convert the naysayers), so I get incredible satisfaction and validation from reading kind comments like this. Thank you🙏
@@LOSTEXPLAINED108 🙏
I guess one quite problematic area to address when undertaking an explanation exercise of a production like this, is that the original story arc and all of the facets within are very rarely able to be completely fulfilled and protected once the production is up and running, especially if a series like this is successful and runs for this length of time. There are always ongoing practical adjustments and limitations arising that require rewrites. The departure of Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje as mentioned in this video is one such example. One of the most taxing and trying things for writers to undertake are fast and affective "write arounds" required when such situations present themselves.
The agility and expertise demonstrated by writers in these situations are a testament to their talent, but I think it's salient to observe that a degree of erosion of the original concept occurs over time and multiple adjustments. However, you really have done a stellar job of breaking down the quagmire of detail and themes within this heavyweight production. Well done.
I genuinely cannot wait to start lost again after your videos mate , its a whole new show after this.
Thank you for the videos. I am appreciating Season 6 more now that you have tied these things together.
That's music to my ears! Thank you for saying 🙏
Cant wait to dive in. Thanks I know these aren’t easy to make
Thank you! Yes, these videos do take a lot of time, energy and effort to create, but I love making them. And I really appreciate the fact that people take the time out of their days to watch them. The reaction to the work I'm doing really makes all the effort worthwhile.
Please keep on dwelling down the rabbitt's hole. Just as effortessly you loured me so far. I cannot overstate how pleasent it is to hear your voice. In comparison to old vids thru maschine. Namaste!
Keep these coming!
Well this series is absolutely incredible.
Been waiting for new videos!
Wonderful!
Wow. This video made me realize I only understood about 2% of the show
I'm 16 minutes in and it feel slike it's been a full episode and two minutes at the same time and there's still an hour and a half to go.
The pacing on this is really good. The information is dense, but it lights on every just long enough to solidify the point and then moves on. Have already listened to hours of the channel on mobile. Just a really good companion to a really great show.
I was happy with the ending at air time. The show was about the characters to me , not the mysteries, so I was satisfied. All the mysteries are still loads fun and I appreciate the method this channel uses to investigate them.
Just really good all around.
quite impressive the amount of work you must have put in to creating the content on this channel - given the huge effort its a shame you don't have more subscribers - Ive now watched part 1 to part 3 & look forward to the next part - as I am rewatching Lost ight now I may try to start watching your original 5+ hour video which I only found after watching part 3
Thank you! It has taken some time to build up an audience and subscribers are increasing each month. Slow and steady. The 5-hour supercut isn't as polished as the content I've been making in the past year -- it used a text-to-speech voice and lower quality resolution footage -- but if you don't mind that then it's still worth a watch. The versions I'm making now are superior in both quality and content (I am rewriting a lot of the old videos as I go through). It's up to you!
Favorite new channel! Fellow Losties
Great work!
cant wait for the next one!
Good work enjoyed these
My thoughts on the cave, who used it and for what purpose, and my apologies if someone has already beaten me to it:
Jacob used it to keep track of which lighthouse VIPs he had activated as candidates (i.e. touched), while putting the MIB on notice who the candidates were so that he would not attempt to kill them.
Jacob would have written the names on the lighthouse dial to keep track of which VIP could be viewed at which degree setting, and he would cross out names when those settings would stop reflecting images (probably because they died). Jacob would have needed a separate list to keep track of the VIPs he had marked as candidates (with his touch), and by putting that list someplace MIB could find, he was alerting MIB as to who the game pieces were, which explains why he placed the scale at the cave entrance as a symbol to MIB that the cave is part of the game. "Here are the people you can't kill. Game on." We can deduce that MIB was not aware of the lighthouse because 1. the lighthouse can't be found unless you are looking for it ("I guess we weren't looking for it"), and 2. MIB seems clueless as to what the numbers represent ("Jacob had a thing for numbers").
This also explains why Kate's name is scratched out in the cave but not in the lighthouse. The island marked her as a VIP and she was still alive, and so her degree setting still reflected images in the lighthouse, but in the cave Jacob attempted to "deactivate" her as a candidate, so that the island might spare her to be mother to Aaron (I find it interesting he would do this considering he would likely have known that she comes back to the island in 2007, but I suppose there's a chance he didn't).
I get the reasoning for Dogen's test but if it was to see if he was the smoke monster, why did he ultimately say Sayid failed the test?
We don't know the precise criteria for passing or failing that test beyond the obvious things. Such as: Does his skin sear? Does the ash repel his body? Does the electric current scramble and distort the apparition? If you watch closely, you can see Dogen really studying Sayid and how he reacts to pain and also how the ash spreads across his body. Basically, Dogen was not satisfied by Sayid's reactions, for whatever reason. And while the test proved that Sayid was not a smoke monster manifestation, it didn't mean he wasn't infected by the smoke monster.
I think a big part of Dogen's scepticism is the result of the resurrection from death. Sayid should not still be alive. Dead is dead, or that's what they believe amongst The Others. And the only thing Dogen associates with "resurrection" and dead people physically walking around the island is Old Smokey. Sayid was never going to get a fair test. The "invigilator" had already predetermined that he was beyond saving. However, we know that wasn't true. Dogen turned out to be wrong about several things.
Good job mate!!
This is WEIRD ! Last night while watching a FRINGE weekend marathon on HLN - LOST crossed my mind last night and I went to LOST EXPLAINED and saw no new videos in 3 months.
I thought "I hope LOST EXPLAINED guy is ok!" - and then today a new video appears!
Did I receive a signal from the FUTURE? Are we living in a SIMULATION? 😉😁😃
Do not mistake coincidence for fate ;-) Thank you for the concern though! This video would have dropped a month ago but I had to wait for a copyright claim to clear. They've always been very good about letting my videos run on this channel without restrictions, but sometimes they flag the IP automatically and the process to get the claim taken off can last up to 30 days before it is lifted. I would like to be releasing content more regularly but that does often throw a spanner in the works with the scheduling unfortunately. Thankfully, the Patreon has no such issues with copyright and they let you upload directly onto their platform now, so I can still deliver for the patrons during the long wait on CZcams.
Currently rewatching lost for like the 50th time lol. On season 3. Love your videos
Nice. Tyvm
i just realized AI voice technology Has gotten WAAAAAy better and you could of used AI voices again, but instead you deliver phenomenal Lost Theory and explanation in your own voice.I appreciate the hard work and effort you do.
I was before my time lol. But thank you. I think my real voice has proven to be a bigger hit overall.
@@LOSTEXPLAINED108 Your voice is majestic sir.
This is such a great outcome 👏
@@LOSTEXPLAINED108 I much prefer a real voice. The text to speech can sometimes be hard to understand as it doesn't have the same inflection of a real person.
You're awesome, brotha!
YES!!! THANK YOU!!!
Awesome videos! I was a huge fan of the series till it ended, then I thought the whole story had been ruined by rewrites and interference from ABC. But you have shown me the writers did have at least a semi coherent set of rules for a story they (almost) stuck to the entire time. Show is definitely worthy of a rewatch. Can’t wait for part 4!
You are amazing!!
Still love this show so much.
Another epic! Thank you for all the work you do. I was curious as to whether or not you watch/read the work of any other LOST theorists online? There are a few who have popped up on youtube lately and I wondered if you ever came across them? If so, what do you make of them?
I don't tend to watch LOST CZcams channels unless their content differs significantly from what I'm doing on here. The problem of consuming too much of what other people are thinking and interpreting about the mythology is that it can pollute your own thought process. You start comparing and contrasting how you're doing it with how they're doing it, and it can be a frustrating experience if there is a lot of disconnect. I think if your own ideas are going to be challenged and/or validated, it's better that it happens through the comment section where a dialogue can take place between yourself and others rather than seeking it out from people doing similar work. "Does this content creator agree or disagree with my ideas?" isn't nearly as helpful as "Do my ideas hold up to scrutiny when questioned by a viewer?" My scripts for videos have improved immensely as a result of my interactions on here.
Don't get me wrong, I still need to do relevant research for the videos themselves, e.g. checking transcripts, revisiting creator interviews, finding soundbites, mining facts from Lostpedia, reading up on any historical/scientific contexts, etc. So, I'm immersed in all of that stuff. And I enjoy a good debate in the comments here. I just don’t actively need to watch or study other people's attempts to explain the series as I feel like I've gotten there on my own. Hope that makes sense!
You are super awesome to make these videos
And you are super awesome for watching. Thank you!
This video series is absolutely incredible- I have just watched lost for the 3rd time and I missed half of this stuff! It makes so much more sense now that you have taken the time to lay out everything. Thank you for this
There are a lot of parallels between the Others and Israel in the Old Testament. God directly communes with his people and gives them his perfect law but the people become corrupt over time, twisting the law for the own ends and missing the point. Locke even calls them Pharisees.
Great work. Definitely one of my favorite shows of all time, if not the favorite. Finishing up my 5th watch. 🤘I still feel like this show is overlooked, or underrated. But I guess deep theory and concept is not for everyone.
Lost really was one of a kind. They tried their hardest to make a show that had every single genre jampacked in one. It's so silly but entertaining at the same time. I remember being a kid watching on cable and losing my shit each week after being blue balled. I was so glad to stream the whole thing on netflix a couple years ago.
You just made me lose the game man! I was on probably an 8 year streak then!
The same happens with every new video you post, I am completely and uttely in awe and lost for words. As I don't like to use the same praising vocabulary every time, just refer to my other comments... I'll just say a biiig "wow" again.
what i find interesting about jin and rousseau is that prior to season 5 they have never interacted with each other. there were a few times where they were near each other or in the same general area but never noticed each other due to rousseau interacting with other characters. i assume this is due to the writers deciding later on down the road to have jin encounter young rousseau during the time loop in season 5.
52:20 wow never thought about that.
Hope you eventually do a video going over the Lost Experience ARG in detail.
I will be exploring a significant part of The Lost Experience in the next video. Not a complete overview of the ARG, but I shall be addressing the background info that it gives us on Alvar Hanso, DHARMA, and the numbers.
Been waiting for this one for ages now. Nice one mate
I love the series, especially the early seasons, the last ones not that much. But here we are.
Psalms 23.
Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.❤
I had never considered the rules between jacob and MIB not being able to kill each other being a bootstrap paradox and my mind is now blown.
I like to think, that Danielle telling Claire to kill Aaron, was only partially due to her thinking that Aaron was infected, and at least subconsciously an act of desperate bitterness because she had lost Alex.
