Amazon has yet to ship the one I preordered several weeks ago, but I heard some tracks on Youtube. They really changed A Sunken Feeling from what they aired with the show. Almost all of the percussion is gone. :(
 
I thought I quit you LOST GAF, but I saw this scene linked in another thread, and I noticed that when Kate asks Jack "So you're with them now?", he answers "I'm not with anyone, Kate."

Which is the same exact thing Saywer tells her in Season 6 when she asks him if he's with Locke/MIB now.

Just thought to throw in here since some of you swoon over every little connection made between seasons :D

The show is pretty great about tossing in tiny details like that, which is why the handing of Adam and Eve seemed heavy-handed to me.

I noticed two such things in The Economist watching it recently. When Kate is searching Ben's house, she's looking under the bed when she sees Sawyer's feet as he comes through the door, just like Sawyer saw his father. And at one point Sayid says to Jack "You're not the best candidate for this kind of mission." I thought that was interesting, even if coincidental.
 
Soundtrack, while incomplete, is still over 50 tracks from Michael Giacchino.

It's very, very difficult to bitch about something like that.
 
The Lost Encyclopedia no longer has the October 14th date anymore on Amazon... in fact, it doesn't have a release date there at all anymore. I hope we don't have to wait too long for it!

Oct 14 is my birthday, would have been nice having it released then.
 
Just got my hands on the S6 soundtrack..

WE HAVE TO GO BACK!



Seriously. "Moving On" is fucking incredible. Giacchino was robbed of that Emmy.
 
Not sure if this should be here or not, but what the hell. DO WANT!

J.J. Abrams has reportedly reunited with Lost stars Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn for a new project.

Emerson and O'Quinn, who played Benjamin Linus and John Locke in the hit series, have previously revealed that they are working on a new show.

New York Magazine has now claimed that Abrams, who co-created Lost, pitched a programme to networks last week with his collaborators Josh Appelbaum and Andre Nemec.

The show, which is said to have the working title Odd Jobs, would reportedly see Linus and O'Quinn playing former black-ops agents and would have humorous elements.

Warner Bros., which is home to Abrams's production company Bad Robot, has not yet commented on the reports.

Abrams is straight up assaulting next fall's TV season. It looks like he's gonna have a show on every network.

so stoked.
 
I wanna Farraday back to September twenty-two
Eat Mr. Cluck's Deluxe, and watch Jack save the crew

:(
 
why do I miss every fucking thread srsly I'm gonna choke a bitch I didn't know this was here I thought people stopped posting in the finale thread

At this exact time 6 years ago, Oceanic Flight 815 left from Sydney, Australia for Los Angeles.

Eight hours later, it would crash on a mysterious island.



That time was about 2 and a quarter hours ago.
:,(
 
It's so weird that LOST is over.
Every year it'd be like "hey when's it coming back"?

I'm happy it ended properly but when I think of everything that happened from the time it was on to the time it was over it's like... WHOA.
 
Fringe is the closest thing to filling the LOST-shaped hole. Even if Abrams stopped running the show after its pilot and initial planning, it still has so many similarities to how LOST progressed and how it was structured. It's a shame that its first season feels so aimless at times.

Is the second season really that much better? I had fun watching the first season, but it being so aimless and feeling like a procedural mystery show with sci-fi elements kind of put me off.

The second half of the second season is the best the show has ever been (except for the dreadful and pointless first part of the season finale, which was the worst, cheapestly made, and most pointlessly populated episode of the series ever.)

I'm still surprised that people actually think that about the first part of the finale. I thought both halves were excellent.

Introducing the most outrageous, the most crazy, the coolest set of superpowered new characters you'll ever -- Oh, shit, never mind they're all dead. Also, they ate up our entire budget so we're going to have teleport to the alternate universe in a Buffy-budget level blur shot. Sorry.

So fucking terrible.

If anything, I thought introducing those characters was crappy, but removing them quickly redeemed it.

Also,
the transition to the other world is as subtle as it is in the last two episodes of Season One. No big flashy effect, as she and the others are able to just slip black and forth.

In terms of mystery and entertainment, I can't even come up with a premise that would get me as excited. Great set of characters, mysterious island, unknown enemy and complete isolation with flashbacks for off-island relief and character building. Reminds me of when I was an early teen and I thought that all action after having seen The Matrix would be boring since it would work with real-world physics. I was wrong, of course, and I'm sure another show will come along that I will fall in love as much, but right now I can't even begin to think what that would be.

This is why the current, and hopefully fading, push to recreate LOST or LOST hybrids will only fail and continue to fail. A show needs to be genuinely unique to grab people's imaginations. Clones sell in the short term, and they're the safest bet of course.. but in the long term a show has to break new ground to be memorable. We can't know what the next great tv series is going to be because it needs to be conceived without any limitations or a preexisting framework and has to be so original that it could only evolve in a few, maybe even just a single mind.

*Of course, there was the Office, my favorite show alongside LOST, which started out as a pure clone.. but it only achieved success when it was under the axe (after just six episodes) and had to find its own unique voice.

ffffffuuuuuu

congrats, dude
 
DarkUFO is reporting that NBC picked up the pilot for Odd Jobs with Terry O'Quinn and Michael Emerson! Apparently the story is from two days ago, but I didn't see it posted here (I saw people discussing it, but not the fact that it was picked up by NBC).

pitty lost aint close to the wire, the shield , the sopranos in terms of the best show ever.

its lost :lol
 
So I'm extremely late to the party, but MAN, I watched all 6 seasons across the span of 3 months, and it was probably the single best TV experience I've had to date (this is subjective, so don't disagree, it's pointless).

Loved it a lot, and the only thing I really wish is that I could forget it all and watch it again.

Also: I've made up my mind, they didn't die, and the ending didn't happen. It was cool, but I think they should have explored it differently.

It was the same for me. I watched all five seasons on Netflix last winter and it was an absolute blast. I looked forward to it everyday until I finished the final episode, there were nights that I'd watch 4 or 5 episodes in a row because I was so hooked. It's my favorite show of all time and I also wish I could have it erased from my memory so I could watch it again and again.
Now I just need that Blu Ray box set so I can do another re-watch, it never gets old for me.
 
I wanna rewatch S6 so hard, but I'm waiting till I get a PS3 (just a few more weeks!) so I can get the BRD box set.

On a side note, I'm lending a friend of mine S1 later, so I'll be updating with her thoughts.

I'm also lending her S1 of Friday Night Lights, btw.
 
I got lucky back when Amazon had the whole S1-S5 on sale for $99 (BRD) and I bought that, then picked up S6 on sale @ Amazon for $23.99 :lol

I'd like the boxed set, but I can't justify double dipping right now. I'm working on some lost art for the house :lol

I want to make it Subtle though, we'll see how it turns out.

Do you consider your favourite film to have the best writing, directing, acting ever? You're right, Lost isn't The Wire, but it entertained me more. I don't understand why people feel the need to compare Lost to shows like that when someone says it's their favourite. Nobody ever says to me "Come on man, Blade Runner ain't no Citizen Kane, Wild Strawberries or Rear Window".

Yep. Comments like that are really just a sign of someone with nothing worthwhile to say. I don't care how Lost compares to other TV shows and it doesn't matter because none of them entertained me like Lost did. Fuckin fantastic show, the most fun I've had with any television show.
