Why are there so. Many. White. People.

I can’t make them apart :angery:

    Lost is a show where they clearly had no idea what they were doing after the initial premise and it led to the most hilarious breakdowns when fans realised they wasted their time

      I checked out when the polar bear showed up. By that point it was clear that there was no mystery, no plan, no direction, and they were just going to keep throwing bullshit at the audience forever.

    Lost is terrible, it seems like half of the mystique of the show is random shit happens and is never explained and people are like "WHOA WHAT DOES IT MEAN"

    it means it should have ended in like season 3, like most shows.

      I think Lost is one of those shows that can only be experienced as a live social event. If you didn't watch it while it was on air and the people around you weren't doing the same, there was and is no point in watching it.

      The whole point was there was a bunch of wild stuff that wouldn't be explained for months or years, (if ever) so you got to talk about your harebrained theories or be the coolest person in the office when you share the one little small detail barely on screen you caught and everyone else missed because you were the only person in the office with a TiVo or an HD TV.

        I ended up watching it via renting DVDs from blockbuster (not even aging myself that much this was one of the few left after streaming and I had no internet) a few years ago and thought that was a decent way to watch it lol, since all the fucking cliffhangers didn't matter cuz I could binge watch it

      3% does trapped on an island surrounded by mysterious tech better. They even have a commie bunker introduced in season 2

      Dark is great, but it doesn't solve the "too many white people you can't tell apart" problem.

      If you ever get confused, ALWAYS type the season you're watching because you'll end up spoiling a lot of really cool twists if you don't.

        fr, my partner and i are both honkies and we were constantly having trouble telling the characters in Dark apart

        doesn't help that they're all fucking german

          I think it's because you spend more time reading subtitles than looking at faces.

        All the time travel cuts the number of white people in like half! Same people, just different ages!👍🤣

    Lost is the peak of showing JJ Abrams brilliant strategy of coming up with as much cool mysterious shit as he likes early on because it’s cool, but never considering what the payoff for that is so when he finally has to answer the questions all you get is a loud wet fart noise.

    I fucking hate JJ Abrams more than any contemporary director.

    the worst movie for me was tinker, tailor, soldier, spy because all the white people looked the same

      It would be cool if we could get a guide for how to differentiate between white people because they all look the same (not being racist just telling it how it is)

    With a sympathetic iraqi character it was decades ahead of its time.

      Like, the character was literally a former Republican Guard intelligence operator who tortured people.

      Americans know some people in Iraq have regular office jobs, right?

    God I hate lost. Try Better Call Saul instead, that Season 5 and Breaking Bad season 5 are some of the best TV i've seen in years. Tokyo Vice on hbo Max is pretty badass as well.

      Lost is better than Breaking Bad and I will die on this hill.

      Better Call Saul is great though.

          It's true, and if I take a step back it's pretty obvious that Breaking Bad is a "better" show, in writing, acting, etc, but I never vibed with it and greatly enjoyed Lost more.

            understandable. i personally have a deep love of incredibly bad content. entertainment takes many varied forms!

      I kind of want to get back into Better Call Saul but there's so many episodes now.

    Don't watch Lost, they only introduce more and more white people
