S2E14 is banned so make sure to find a way to watch it!

PopeScooby

Next week is going to be awesome. I hope they found a copy of Ep. 14

Andrew

They are watching on Amazon where it is available.

Pyt

S2E14 has been back on most streaming services for like 2 years now.

Pyt

Unless where they are locally still has it banned, S2E14 has been unbanned from streaming services for like two years at this point.

I wonder if the mention of Fat Neil is going to pay off in the future.

Richard Z Herrera

I have learned that I have absolutely no patience and I need these 2 to binge the whole series so I can watch their minds be warped by the comedic and emotional genius that is Community. Law and Order, Seven, Road Warrior, Westerns, Space...puppets!!! Arianna is going to die from laughter.

Here to reject the Lost falls off sentiment. A lot of the dislike for Lost imo comes from people really misunderstanding the final seasons!

Sankis

I liked LOST at the time, but yeah. I think a large part of the push back was both people misunderstanding it and it not fitting in with their big fan theories. Plus, like every hit show, it just ran a bit too long and I think people got a bit tired of it. It's easy to forget that 6 seasons of a network TV show used to mean like 120-150 episodes. A big prestige TV show these days is easily half that, if not even fewer. Though I also can't think of a show where the final seasons don't fall off to some degree! It feels like the best part of a show is almost always the middle seasons. They have characters and plotlines established but don't yet have the pressures that come with a show that's ending, actors that want to leave the show, and all the other things that can affect a production.

Lost is definitely flawed but it's 100% worth watching and would make for great reaction!

Lost is awesome and is a must watch. One of the best show of all-time and so important to the history of TV. MJW - yes!!! one of my favorite exchanges: Nice Sweater - thanks, my father gave it to me.

Sankis

The Emmanuelle movies that Troy mentioned briefly were, I think, softcore porns on cinemax back in the day. It's before my time so I'm not entirely sure, but that's what I picked up from jokes in other shows like 30 Rock

Patrick Flanagan

No, it still sucked. When the producers spend 5 seasons introducing mystery after mystery and then when the final season rolls around they start dropping "Well, really, it's always been about the characters and not the mysteries" into every interview, it becomes obvious that they wrote themselves into a corner. The answers they introduced, by and large, were anticlimactic and disappointing, if not downright nonsensical. Having said that, we still got 4, arguably 5 great seasons of TV, and even the final season has its highlights. But the ending stunk.

Patrick Flanagan

"Nice sweater." "Thanks. My father gave it to me." Shirley's ex is played by Malcolm-Jamal Warner, who played Bill Cosby's son on THE COSBY SHOW. Cosby's character basically wore sweaters every day.

Owen

Please do not even consider doing Lost, it is dumb. It does not pay off and there are a bazillion episodes. It's the second-biggest fuckup in tv history behind game of thrones.

Mo

I’m fried out of my mind and glued to my bed after work stomach contracting from hollering so much at this lmaoo. These are 2 of my top 3 favorite episodes. Great reaction as always 😂😂

Owen

It was a massive mistake to even greenlight it, jj abrams and damon lindelof had no idea what the ending or even the beginning was. They just had some cool ideas and then wasted years trying to come up with a satisfying ending, and the entire premise turned out to be those guys saying "we lied to the network about having an ending in mind." Then the writer's strike of 2008 happened and they were thrown even further off course by random people trying to fill in the gaps. The entire thing was just bullshitting until the end. I am sorry if this comes off as hostile but I spent a lot of years tuning in to Lost every week and then finding out it was a big fucking waste of time. Also look at JJ and Lindelof's track records since then. They cannot put together a coherent story. Lost was the second biggest disappointment in tv history behind game of thrones.

Joe Blankenship

Nah. Steep decline starting at season 4.

Joe Blankenship

Yall should check out some of those Rankin and Bass Christmas specials in December. Maybe some Charlie Brown too.

Ben

Lost is an absolutely fantastic series and wonderful to watch now without all the breaks in the original airing. Also in the episode when Abed went into bitch robot mode there was a note that said "Confirm with Mom for christmas"

LOST answered almost all of the mysteries. The few that they didn't, had mostly to do with plot lines they had to abandon for real world reasons (like anything involving Walt or Ekko, who had to leave the show). The reason some people feel like "they didn't answer anything" is really that the answers weren't as satisfying or interesting as the mystery themselves. Mystery as a plot structure can be paradoxical this way. The most engaging mysteries are the ones that are hardest to satisfy. That's why people keep reading/watching. It's rare that you can tie up this category of grand mystery in a way that's both fully explained and satisfying, AND that people can't easily guess. It's hit and miss in this sense, but at the time I don't think any other show was even remotely as challenging as LOST, and their successes should be viewed as more notable than their failures. It's only when held up against modern planned arcs and book adaptations and whatnot that it seems to fall short, but that's really apples to grapefruits. I actually think, when viewed through a 2000's lens, the show is quite an achievement. Pre-streaming, there was never any tradition or expectation of shows having "a plan". Like literally outside of miniseries I can't think of any multi-season arcs that were planned to the degree they sometimes are today. It was always an exercise in making it up as you went along. And the showrunners/writers challenged themselves to pose hyper-engaging questions without knowing the answers, and to later backfill those in a satisfying way. People remember stuff like the convoluted lampshade of an answer hung on "The Numbers" mystery, or the heavy reliance on what is essentially magic for the central mystery, and forget the big successes like "what's in The Hatch" and "what was The Incident", "who are the others", "what was the Dharma Initiative", etc. Each of them made the story more interesting, not less, and I think in general this was the norm for the show, while dangling or lazily wrapped mysteries like The Numbers or 'wtf is up with Walt' were the exceptions. And just in general, the storytelling quality, had really high highs, and honestly the lows were not that low, especially for the era and format (a lot of effort is expended to keep the show approachable even if you missed a couple episodes, and to keep viewers engaged enough to not change the channel during commercials... like I said, it was a different time).
