I'm drawing ALL of Springfield from "The Simpsons"
I'm so glad you pronounced "epitome" the way you did. I didn't learn that way was incorrect until I was an adult. Good to hear someone else had the same idea haha
Oh my goodness, I searched the pronounciation right now. Haha, I was way off!
Miles is looking around like he's hearing voices. I think it's a safe assumption that in the past people have died when trying to cross the fence. He is probably getting their death memories, multiple at once which is why his head jerks around like that. This is how he knows what the fence does when its on. Now as for how he can tell its off, he might actually hear it. There are autistic people who can hear electricity and sounds other people usually dont notice. (and he seems a bit in trance/shock in general so he probably didn't think about it. overwhelmed by all the memories, he reacts almost like on autopilot)
Great analysis there! I can be on board on this theory.
Interesting that Claire’s Lair was so close to the Staff…I don’t think I’ve ever considered exactly where she set up. Maybe she gravitates towards that part of the jungle because at another time that was an area where she wandered around in a less than complete mental state before, also in distress about her baby.
The DHARMA Initiative was in the process of constructing the Orchid Station around the Donkey Wheel in July 1977. I don't know how long the construction last, but I doubt very much that Eloise Hawking had left the island around 1977-78, using that wheel. Not while it was under the control of the DHARMA Initiative. Chances are she had probably left the island using a boat in the possession of the Others. It was probably simple as that.
Thanks for the shoutout!! When I was editing Lost: Circle, season 5 nearly drove me mad. I was so confident going into editing season 6 footage that it was going to be significantly less complicated that I didn't bother checking if Lostpedia was right, assuming that it was a simple enough area of the timeline there wouldn't be much overlap and as soon as I started I was like hold the phone what is going on here!

Amazing video as always. Do you have somekind of list of movies/shows containing impossible things like compass in Lost?
Thanks. No, sorry, I don't have a list. When writing the script for this video I was going through my memory thinking of various movies I had seen. I also wanted to do a bit about "The Incident"-movie, since I watched it a few years ago and thought about it again.
@Choekaas Ok Gues I will ask chatgpt
That was a big head scratcher but you got it i believe, good one.
Bra jobbat. Interesting the thing about the Map and Lennon walking. I kind of always liked the intro scene tho when Lennon is walking to Dogens room. And when he looks back for a second as well. Somewhat of a cool scene. Looking forward for next episode.
I just wanna find out how Mac got off the island and back to Paddy's pub
Love this series so much that I'm starting to get sad that the we're getting close to the end.
Me too, but the work of a LOST fan is never truly over. I suspect it won't be the last we hear from Choekaas! He's gotta cover the zombie season at least anyway right?
Great explaniation💪🏻
Thanks for all the vids bro
Love your content my friend. Missed it during the break. Glad you’re back and looking forward to your take on my personal least favorite season.
I remember having the reactions from 2:22 onwards. In retrospect the only episode I liked in season 6 was across the sea because it addressed the longstanding mystery with meaningful new information. So many plots and characters in this season were gratuitously unimportant, especially paper-thin caricatures like Dogan/Yoko and Lennon. The fact that Darlton then postured this was the 'character-driven' path that was the plan for years after was offensive too. Damon at least came out with something like a mea culpa interview but that was 6+ years after the show ended. In retrospect the flash sideways, the temple, and Desmond's ability to bridge them color the whole season as very Hindu.
I agree that season 6 is the weakest season. And i mostly agree with your viewpoints on the flashsideways. I do think that LAX was the most underrated episide in all of LOST. It never gets brought up in best episode lists. The scene with Jack and Locke in the airport is tears every time. The amazing part of the flash sideways was that it kept its mystery til the very end. I read endless theories on DARKUFO and non of them brought up purgatory. Also agreement on the lighting of the season. And when season 6 aired it was a very different time in my life than 1-5(was in college)so in rewatches it just doesn't hit the same way because of that weird mental social connection.
LA X is really underrated, I love a lot of the dialogues there. Additionally the one between Locke and Boone is also pretty great.
I don't think Season 6 was the weakest. I thought Season 2 was.
@@JuanitaJones-cn7lx to each their own. I used to think that way, but after my most recent rewatch I gained a whole new respect for season 2. Considering the writers were handcuffed and forced to churn out episodes without an end date. When it was new in 05-06 it felt slow and sluggish but on a binge it loses that effect to me at least.
What is your top5 show of all time?
I like to keep comedy+animation separate, since I rate that differently in my head. But in no order: Lost, Breaking Bad, The Decalogue, The Leftovers, Twin Peaks Comedy/animation: Fawlty Towers, South Park, The Simpsons, The Office, Avatar: The Last Airbender
@Choekaas My god you are also categorizing comedy in separate and animation too. You are my soul brother And that beutiful taste too, man I would love to such a person like you in Irl
I always loved the flashside ways!!!! Because they make you think the time line split
Problem was they spent all there budget on the temple episodes once that was done for they were sol
It was by the dharma initiative because later in the show some people say the magnetic field pulled the plane down
Yes, but the plane was not by the DHARMA Initiative, the octagonal marking is something that was on the real life Lockheed plane they bought in the Mojave desert. Flight 815 was not a DHARMA project.
@@Choekaas ohhh
I’m sorry but there’s two continuing issues with this, you’re treating the island like a flat surface. No one’s climbing the 3000ft mountains to travel in a Straight line. Also the radio tower being located in the centre of the island between the two mountain ranges dosent make any sense unless it’s satellite in and out only. The beach wouldn’t hear her message across the other side of that mountain range
Fantastically presented. I've always felt there was something off about the look of Season 6, but I could never quite place so thank you for articulating what I was feeling! Claire not getting a flashback is also one of the worst sins of the season. I'm not as down on the early flashsideways as you are here, but I do get the argument that time could have been better spent elsewhere. Honestly if they really wanted to mirror Season 1, they should have given us 25 episodes! Then we could have had flashsideways and time to develop the neglected Season 6 characters. I also have to say that I really was and still am a sucker for all the character guest appearances in the flashsideways. I remember reading the pre-episode press releases religiously to see who the guest actors were for each upcoming episode. Your idea to have MiB take over the Temple is genius. It's honestly shocking they writers missed that. I think the Temple would have been helped as a setting/plot device if Charlotte had survived to Season 6. You're telling me they had an anthropologist character and they never had her encounter any of the ancient Island locations?? That'd be like Arzt without his Medusa spiders!
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you. Mind you, I had a few issues with Season Six. But I had issues with every Season of the show. And my least favorite period is late Season Two and especially the first half of Season Three.
That's okay. We all can have different opinions.
I really enjoy all of your videos. That said, I am curious. I'm a writer so I fully supported the writers' strike in 2008. But LOST then lost four episodes of S4. What would your thoughts be on the missing four episodes? I don't think the show runners cared. But if there were four more episodes, I think we might have seen a bit more about the Temple. I stopped thinking about it long ago, but I will ask people about the missing four episodes. 8 episodes when many streaming shows now have 10. Have you ever thought about it? I think the show runners didn't want to bother.
Thanks for the compliments. I have a different video on the channel called "How the writers strike affected Lost", which gives a few ideas on what went missing. For instance a Charlotte centric episode or potentially a Ben flashback episode with him and Annie. It wasn't like there was four episodes that were written and left behind, but more like stories that got trunctuated and re-organized so that they could go directly to the season 4 finale.
I agree with so, so much of this!! That said, I've always loved the Temple theme, and I'm really hoping you haven't ruined it for me going forward. 😂
I can say with some confidence that they drove the van to the temple... Last we see the van in LA X Part 1 it's RIGHT next to the Swan crater after they used it to haul debris. At the start of Part 2 we see them unloading it in the middle of the jungle. Yes, Juliet's body and most of the people have already exited it, but the implication definitely seems to be that Jin drove them right up to the wall and that's where Sawyer buried Juliet. Regarding the list of candidates from the guitar case... I think this still makes perfect sense with the prop note. If Dogen needs the candidates relatively cooperative, he's not going to order their companions killed. (This is not dissimilar to Ben sending Rousseau with Alex and Karl in season four; I don't think the Temple Others would have been happy, but I think that Danielle being a guest of two Others would mean she wouldn't be turned away, and certainly not killed.) Notably, Kate's name is the only one it doesn't show Dogen's reaction to. Also, this is even more subjective, but I believe the former candidate listed as "Straume" to be Miles' mother. This is partly due to there being no obvious reason why Miles would have been eliminated as a candidate, and partly because I assume Miles was born as Miles Chang (due to his parents being married), and it was only after the harsh parting with Pierre and returning to the mainland that Lara had baby Miles adopt her surname. (Though I suppose the point in time at which Jacob would have hypothetically labeled Miles a candidate is up to interpretation, and therefore this is not definitive proof that Miles couldn't be referred to as "Straume".)
The point about the van is great! I always assumed that Sawyer would bury Juliet immediately, and therefore did it in the jungle near the Swan, but I like your reasoning on the idea that Jin drove everyone to near the temple wall, and they walked from there. Brilliant point! Also great reasoning on the note from the guitar case and Straume name.
I'm so glad you talked about the visual look of season 6. It definitely played a huge part in making me feel season 6 is less than, as the atmosphere and vibe of LOST was one of the main reasons why I love the series.
Wow this is exactly how I felt at the time...I've come to accept the sideways concept but the show peaked with season 5 for me
Exposé pisses me off but not for the reason you might think. I don’t like how they killed off Nikki and Paulo. I think lost is a great show, but there are so many other survivors that just don’t do anything. It feels like the entire world revolves around the 20 main people on the island and it’s really annoying. I was so happy when Nikki and Paulo were introduced because it was new main characters that were other survivors. It was fresh and then to kill them off a few episodes after their introduction just really annoyed me. That being said I still do like exposé as an episode. I just hate how Nikki and Paulo were handled
What do you mean . . . "Jin loves golfing"? Because he went back to the golf course or near it to rest?
Yes. Don't take it seriously, it's just meant to be a funny title.
Just came across your channel 5 minutes ago. I'm looking forward to binging every video of yours in regards to lost. This show is an unsung masterpiece and is the most thematically consistent show of ever seen.
Wow, that's so wonderful to hear. Thank you very much for those kind words :)
Great. How am I supposed to rewatch season 6 after that umppalumppa bit. :D
6:39 (Haven't watched to the end yet.) For me opposite, the flashbacks and most of the off-island stuff after some of them left and had to go back were mostly boring, but the flash-sideways were consistently great. Honestly I think what they did with it, the mystery build-up and the way they handled the reveal was way more interesting than alternative suggestions I've heard. The ones you said sound good in my head as an idea but sound almost impossible to pull off in a meaningful way. Afterlife is way more meaningful, and after all that buildup and genuinely makes sense they want a cosmic mulligan it made sense to think for a while that these same people could have alternate lives, but then it turns out it's still really them in the same timeline. I get the argument for the necessity of the earlier off-island content though but most of it honestly could be trimmed and the on-island events could even be improved in most cases if it had been.
That's totally fine, and I am to see that we have different opinions on the matter. One of LOST's strength is the arena of discussion it creates.
It wasn’t just the video quality (blacks washed out) but also the audio became poorer in quality. Everyone was muffled compared to earlier seasons
LOST was always about creating a mystery, with no care about how to resolve those mysteries in a satisfying way. If an idea comes up, great. If not, just keep going and hope audiences forgot about that particular plot thread HEY LOOK OVER A NEW MYSTERY!
Which mysteries were they expecting the audience to forget about, exactly?
@@FringeMusic107 It's been over a decade, so I don't remember them all right now, but back when the series ended, I remember still having tons of questions. IIRC Things about Walt, the donkey wheel, something about drowning Sayid, a bunch of things about dharma, wasn't there something about bens house that controlled the smoke monster, and oh yeah, no real resolution to the mechanics of the smoke monster, what the numbers mean, and why the clock flashed weird hieroglyphs. But that's just some stuff off the top of my head from something a long time ago. I'm sure I'm forgetting stuff now, and I may be mistaken with this stuff. But in general, it's just opening mystery boxes with no thought out ideas of how to resolve them later. JJ pretty much said as much himself in one of his talks.
I love Lost, it's one of my favourites of all time. I watched it every week when it aired, I bought the dvds, the book and eventually the Blu rays. I'd not watched the whole thing for a couple of years and came across your videos so I decided on a rewatch. Two things struck me 1) How great season 4 is because of the writers strike it was so streamlined and 2) I really don't enjoy the flashsideways in season 6 until Desmond starts waking people up....they are the weakest parts of the entire show in my view. I loved the finale and the whole concept but the temple and plodding "what if" storylines were abit of a slog to get through. Still cried my heart out at Sun and Jin though and I've got my fingers crossed for that Expose spinoff ! Razzle Dazzle !
Personally I loved season 6, people might call it slow or chaotic but I really loved all the lore of the island and the stuff with the smoke monster. It's my personal favourite season and nothing will change my mind
I'm happy to hear that. I am not here to change anyone's minds and it is fruitful to be open to different opinions on the show :)
We really needed Ilana and Dogen episodes...
I like Mark Pellegrino as Jacob, but Hiroyuki Sanada would be an even better fit as the island’s guardian-his presence feels more intense and magnetic. Since it wouldn’t make sense for Titus Welliver to have a Japanese twin, I’d cast him elsewhere, maybe as Radzinsky in season five, as Eric Lange’s portrayal always felt annoyingly one-note to me. This would leave the MiB role open for a Japanese actor-Ken Watanabe would be an amazing choice, and he’s actually the same age as Sanada. I’d definitely keep Allison Janney as The Mother-she’s perfect in the role, and the twins not resembling her wouldn't be an issue, given their lack of other family references. Your idea of making Danielle Rousseau the new leader of the Others is fantastic, and I'd promote Cindy as her co-leader as well. For Widmore’s crew, swapping Zoe for Walt would be a great move. Walt’s growth could be attributed to the island’s influence, with his powers enhanced and possibly trained by Widmore, positioning him to help defend the island alongside Desmond. Overall, these casting and character adjustments would not only elevate the show’s acting and storytelling but also address Lost’s tendency to sideline multiethnic and female characters in favor of white, male-driven plots. Imagine how vibrant season six would have been with Sanada and Watanabe as Jacob and MiB, Rousseau and Cindy leading the Temple, and Walt as Widmore’s ally!
A lot of great ideas here. Love your thinking! Fun fact, there is a video coming up (it's going to be a while, late December) about what would happen if Walt replaces Zoe.
@@Choekaas Amazing! I can't wait for it! =)
This stuff would be great material for a prequel series.. I wish they would make one to explain some of these plot holes and fill in the lore a little bit. But I also recognize that can lead to more plot holes and confusion, especially if not done correctly (like in star wars).
And yeah, they are filmed it too bright in season 6, it's not same LOST in that, I agree. Dark, shadows frames in first seasons were really scary and mystery somehow
Wow, amazing story telling again. Never thought about such things you told. About Claire pre-story how she actioned alone with a MIB and about how whole heaven-flashfordards take showtime for entire season. They realiy missed such a magnificent plots to make some characters more entitiy. Anyway we have Richard's episde, Jacob's and Noname Evil kid episode which are most beautiful story telling episodes throughout whole show. Can't wait for the next video with such nice thoughts how the show could have been.
My problem with season 6 is there's no season 7...yet 😊
I agree, it’s such a catch -22 really. For many super of us Losties, more lore would have been awesome. But truthfully many others would have complained and called additional episodes useless etc. By season 6 people were already dropping off from the show and complaining about the complexity of the storyline.
I love your videos. You are actually the only one person who noticed the same things I noticed at the time when I was 18 years old… i remember that I was excited when the episodes had one of the directors of photography… because I knew it would be better coloured! don’t remember the name 😅 Anyway… great work man! Love your channel. Have you ever think of making video about “how Lost could have ended if there were only three seasons?”. The first 6 episodes of season 3 are full of little things that could tell us how it could end if they didn’t renewed for six seasons!! Keep going:) greetings from italy!
Wow, thanks for the compliment! Happy to hear that. You know, that's actually a good idea for a video. I'll think about it. When I'm done with season 6 I'll probably end up doing Lost videos sporadically, every now and then. Maybe that will fit then?
And we're back! I skipped commenting last week's episode due to... reasons. * My feelings about season 6 are so contradictory that I cannot fully have a judgement about this. It's has one of the best moments in the show and the worst. Storywise, it's a great completion of the entire narrative of Lost, in terms of pacing and character development - well... it should either be more tight or have 24 episodes (why not both?). I remember vividly waiting for next week's episode, being a little bit dissapointed after the first eight (I'm looking at you, Temple!), but when episode nine came it was everything I wanted and needed back then. * Yes, Claire-centric episode in S6 is one of the things that's missing in the entire picture - some kind of horror-esque story completely from her biased POV, again somehow mirroring "Maternity Leave" from S2. * Thank you for spoiling the Temple theme for me... I hate it now. Or maybe just the first rendition of it, the more mysterious one is still cool. * Agree, the main issue in the Island storyline is complete lack of mystery - the thing that the show was built on. * Locke being Colonel Kurtz-type character - I think that putting aside supernatural elements of the show, that's where he would end up, being sucked in by Island's mystery and as a leader of Others - building a cult around him to compensate his insecurities. Locke was always the villain, Jack - not exactly a hero, but his conterbalance.
I had a similar experience watching this season live. It became obvious there were too many differences between what really happened and what happened in the flash sideways for the plane not crashing on the island to explain it. So this wasn't an alternate timeline. When we got to Sayid's episode Sundown i felt like my time was being wasted and began fast forwarding through all the flash sideways until the series finale. To this day I've never watched the ones I missed and have never rewatched the ones from episodes 1-5. In my opinion, we only needed flash sideways in the season premiere, one episode in the middle, and the finale. That's enough to get the point across. Think about all that screentime you'd now have for things we never got. Jacob meeting with Widemore, Anne from Ben's backstory, Ilana backstory, etc. You did NOT need half of 16 episodes' worth of screentime devoted to the flash sideways.
They ran out of stories to tell which is why they filled half the season with flash sideways. Another big problem with the flash sideways is, keeping the audience out of the loop for the entire season (not explaining what the flash sideways was) and expecting them to stay interested.
@@Romans8-9 we knew what it was. Some people just didn't get it.
@@harbs16 Um no, the purpose of the flash sideways and how they "arrived there" was not revealed until the finale.
@@Romans8-9 I knew it was an alternate life as it was airing live. Most people did. We didn't get the full picture until it ended but it was a great way to see what they created in the afterlife. I get that people were confused but at this point it has all been cleared up. A rewatch is probably in order for you if it's not clicking.
@@harbs16 Well you "knowing" it was an afterlife was a nice guess. Good for you. No kidding it has all been cleared up but when it aired it was confusing and the audience duly dropped off. What we know now is completely irrelevant to my comment. Maybe improve your reading comprehension because its obviously "not clicking" for you.
hey could you tell me which one is february 7th? :) is it the life of emile zola??
No, it's "Uncertain Glory" (1944)
Dood, where have you been throught my entire life? I love Lost and I thought I new about It, so you came along. Thanks for teaching me to be humble. I have one question and I Hope to contribute: who were those people Ben sought Said into Killing them? As Mr Linus says they are widmore s people, I think this is highly unlikely and Saiyd indeed killed some of Ben's people and Ben was cool with that, in my mind, Ben put Saiyd after those who knew about his plans, including his own people. Who were those people Saiyd killed at the beheast of Ben Linus? Cheerio
Thanks. I believe it was Widmore's people. Before Sayid kills Bakir in "The Shape of things to Come", Ben says that he wants to give a message to Mr. Widmore. Bakir respons with "and what message is that?" before Sayid kills him. If he didn't know who Widmore was, he would surely react differently. I think it's plausible some of the other kills might've been others, people that Ben personally sought revenge after, but I don't know what Ben would gain by letting Sayid killing people in his own group. He still needed his off-island network such as Jill with keeping Locke's body in the freezer or the lawyer Dan Norton. Ben wanted Widmore's people dead, he sent Michael on a mission to kill everyone on board on the freighter (but changed his mind when he learned a lot of them were innocent). After Sayid quit working for Widmore, Ben still managed to find a way to kill Widmore's trusted employee Matthew Abaddon.
They’re were actually two vans at the swan site. They mentioned this in the s5 finale. I assume that they took one of the vans.
I know, I mention this in my video on the season 5 finale. The video called "Jacob's Off Island LOST Journeys" deals with the finale. One of them gets transported to the present as we see here :)
I think this may be too late to ask but... do you think you could do an episode all about the sri lanka video? I know you referenced it a lot but I feel like it should get its own video.. like the blast door map did. Just a thought.😀
Hmm, maybe. I'll think about it
@@Choekaas I remember a big theory about jacob, alvar hanso, and daniel faraday knowing each other on the count of the numbers representing candidates. Alvar Hanso also mentioned (human factors) also meaning human variables mentioned by Faraday! Since Jacob assigned humans to numbers like an equation.... make your own decision on that!😱 This was one of the last theories I read on the tailsection forum before the show ended!🤯
