Greenhat-Redbeard Adventures Yes!

New video (10 years since the end) Top 15 scenes of lost that I found : kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eNpdqaxq27Svl3k.html

those are the words of someone who is trying to find a purpose for his life.

Was it really Locke? Or wasn't it the island? Or Jacob?

@Independent 1 Well, he fixed it.

Main quest was to kill the Man in Black not protect the island.

Sounds like Trump

Amun Ra Yeah only Jack did good stuff

You mean like stopping the man in black from illegally immigrating to the rest of the world?

Not all Immigrants are exactly the manifestation of pure Evil from an ancient Island of magic and bullshit

That is it! Your right

it seems to me that Jacob entered Sawyer's life very early on and encouraged him toward his eventual path. Maybe without Jacob, lil' James could've gotten over the death of his parents and had a good life.

OH SHIT!!!!

"You were all looking for something that you couldn't find out there. You were all LOST." That's why Locke was the best candidate and he was special. He was a sad, lonely man but since his first day on the island he found strenght and his attempts to do the best for the island, when no one believed him, was admirable. He would have been a great replacement for Jacob if MIB didn't get Locke.

giada giada I realized this when I just recently rewatched the show. Locke was special and probably the best candidate from the start of the show. He may have died, but he was able to make Jack a believer, and that was enough to fulfill what he was meant to do. Jack goes from hating Locke to fighting for his beliefs in the end. God I love this show lol

@@Bread_Bug I totally agree with you

While I always felt that Jack was going to be the guy to choose himself for the job, 20% of me was thinking Kate would be the dark horse candidate for it. In life she ran away from seriousness but in the island she became a bit of a person who ran into danger- it would have also been in line with her story arc.

@@andrewschuschu3499 Now a days they would have but for all the wrong reasons...

Makes me realize that the writers were just making it up as they went along. They spent so much time on the significance of so many mysteries and in the end, they didn’t have a satisfactory way to wrap them all up. So, they just threw them out and gave us half-baked mysticism to close out the series. It still kept us talking and theorizing, but it’s also quite obvious that they wrote themselves into a corner (or ten) and didn’t have a clue themselves.

@@danielhicks4826Actually when they created the show Jack was supposed to die in the very first episode and Kate was to become the leader of the whole thing.

@@tatum2739 Oh thank God it didn't go that route. Kate is like 100 times better then 99 percent of female leads in most show's these days, just because well obvious reasons people either cant stand or dont give a crap about and think people like me are stupid whatever haha but to me anyways I mean when the characters are written by really obvious not subtle at all activists and hardcore feminists types, good female characters are great obviously when they are written by good writers and not activists that is, but yeah even with that she was still fairly kind of eh at times, she was alright I guess but as a leader absolutely not really glad they didn't go that route The only ones who were cut out to be leaders were Jack and Locke sort of to a smaller degree at times, maybe Ben if he wasn't such a psychopath but he was especially early on so not him yeah just those 2 really. Of course now they would go that route only remove most or all of her good qualities hah.

Of course, he essentially ''became'' Locke , because after the letter Locke sent him he understood him and he was trying to help the island as Locke was trying to.

He started becoming the new Locke later on in season 5, when he tells Kate "This is our destiny" and she says "Do you know who you sound like?"

He sounds like Locke all the time after Locke's death.

Well, after his disastrous return to the "Real World" it's kind of impossible NOT to become like Locke. You just accept that your 'normal' life is over and resign yourself to it.

well he start go full during the double jack centric at the end of s3. I remember those spoilers centric. After that bad tattoo episode: "WTF A DOUBLE JACK CENTRIC for a finale episode of a season??" and then they blew our mind like the Sixth sense :p

Everybody hates saying the name in the show cliche

That's what you call on the nose writing. It's implied without having to say it

Not to mention it'd be a meme thatd live in infamy! Hey Yo....Lost

Idkk, they said "lost" quite a few times, already.

@@sadwhitesoxfan17 IMO the only films that pulled it off without being completely ridiculous was the LOTR trilogy

I would be much happier with that explanation if Season 6 was about an alternate universe, as opposed to an "afterlife". It was a nice shift, a look at what could've happened, how the events of the Island actually made things better. \/ To each their own.

Animeality See, I love how they did it because it did what many series fail to do: It got us some serious closure, with nearly every character, living or dead. It just wouldn't have felt as satisfying were the flash-sideways an alternate universe instead of the afterlife.

Animeality It still was in a sense, a look into what could have happened. The afterlife was created for them, by them. In the afterlife the bomb went off and the incident never happened, which means none of the electro magnetic energy escaped and the plane never crashed. So it was a beautiful mixture of both an alternate universe of what they could be and an afterlife where they could improve themselves, realize, come together, let go, and move on.

I totally agree! Him as "Paul", Ritas ex-husband on Dexter, was an awesome character, too! :-)

Animeality Was it ever confirmed that it was "afterlife"? That line about death could be seen as the alternate timeline being independent from the main one as far as time goes.

"Supposed supposed" what does that even mean supposed to do? Because a humain being called jacob said so? Who is jacob to say to people what are they supposed to? To let probably thousands of people murder on the island so that his brother would stay on the island

@@Fbitypeshit Calm down. Supposed by fate, destiny, Universe, cosmic balance - you name it. Jacob doesn't decide everything.

The fact that someone tell you’re supposed to do something, doesn’t matter, is if you believe you have to do it

he eventually got to understand john locke was right.

@@Fbitypeshit All his LIFE, Jack has been the self-sacrificial hero (the flashback to him rescuing a kid from being beaten by bullies, taking the brunt of their abuse on himself). On the Island, he was the one running into the wreckage of Oceanic 815 pulling people out of harms way, reviving Rose, helping Claire, trying to save the marshal, giving his own blood in a futile attempt to save Boone, performing the surgery on Ben (and then using that moment to take power) to save Kate and Sawyer. The Smoke Monster reads people by scanning them. IF the Smoke Monster is a part of the Island, being created by Jacob's brother's consciousness merging with part of the energy of the Island, then reading people is part of the Island's unique power. The Island knows the nature of people...the Island healed John Locke's spine, cured Rose's cancer, made it possible for Jin and Sun to conceive. It gave John and Eko their visions. In that way, the Island knew that Jack was the ultimate self-sacrificing hero. Staying on the Island, becoming the protector, restoring the Island's source was what Jack was supposed to do. Why...because the Island knew Jack's nature and needed such a one as him. Jacob as the Island's protector receives his guidance from the Island much the same as John and Eko did. The Island even sent Vincent (who is staying with Rose and Bernard) to Jack so that he does NOT die alone. The Island also communes with Hurley as he's able to see the disappearing Cabin, and talk with the "ghosts" of people he doesn't even know like Richard's Isabella to help redirect them. The Island gave Desmond flashes to keep Charlie alive until he could warn the others about the freighter people. The Island tried to get Eko to put John back on track in terms of the button to keep the button getting pushed and keep the Island from being discoverable to Widmore and others. The Island I believe allowed Ben to get cancer to try and stop him from manipulating Locke or harming him. So Jack was "supposed" to be the hero. John's death meant the Island needed another selfless hero. This was Jack. That's why Jack felt so broken after leaving the Island. It's about finding your purpose, and a sense of destiny. And Hugo would be the one to take the mantle after Jack because the Island knew what the cost of ending the smoke monster situation would be.

There were a lot of great actors on LOST. couldn't ask for a better cast.

Fox is better.

He's literally my favorite part of Supernatural and he might be my favorite part of Lost too.

I personally think he was miscast. Doesn’t have the right face for that character.

He also played a great asshole in dexter

💯Agreed!

@@pascalecleriediaz3816 @1:44 is my favorite line in this entire scene. "Because you became a mother, but it's just a line of chalk in a cave, Kate. The job is yours if you want it..." To me that felt like a shot at the ppl who over analyze EVERYTHING in Lost while taking shots at it, and expect every detail to be some life changing reveal. Even Kate expected something like that when she asked Jacob why her name was crossed out. But her name written in chalk on a cave wall and crossed out was just THAT, a name written in chalk on a cave wall that got crossed out. lol Brilliant.

@@KoolKeithProductionsthat was more so that they wrote themselves into a corner with all the mysteries and questions they injected into the story and didn’t have a satisfactory way to resolve them, so they just threw it all out.

@@Pogol13 keeping lying if it makes you feel better about yourself

lol

i think ben became selfish and 'changed' when they brought him inside the temple when they healed him, Richard said it himself that it would change Ben

Siddarth Arcot Just lone Sayid.

BUT WHY protect the island, like nothing bad happened to it. All of them wanted to blow up the entire island with a nuke, i seriously doubt that it was part of the plan. So Jacob decided to choose people who wanted to blow everything into pieces?

Kai Jolly Hugo and Hurley are the same person....

Ben cared about the island just as much as locke did, I hate that locke died though he was my favourite character.

It is sad, because it felt like the island helped them rebuild their relationship, which was clearly toxic and suffocating judging by the flashbacks.

If you consider the island to be a sentient entity beyond Jacob's machinations then the island punishes you for your sins or eliminates you once your purpose is fulfilled. That is why Kate and Sawyer lost the loves of their lives, and have to return home in grief because they were never grateful towards the island for fixing the problems in their lives, Locke life ended once his purpose to get Jack to believe finished, Sayid Jin and Sun never showed any true belief in the island or what they gained from being there they only seemed to eager to escape hence island judged them unworthy and killed them. Desmond was the only one that fulfilled his duties despite the obstacles, made hard sacrifices and hence was the given the opportunity to return home to be happy. Almost every other character island judged and punished. I think the island was searching for a pure soul like Hurley to be its protector.

@@maragathm Wow. Very interestingly and well put. I like.

Well, if you're looking at it like that; the whole show is about Hugo.

Except Jack was originally suppose to die within a few episodes of the show and Kate was going to be the leader of the castaways. Fortunately that idea got scrapped.

House No, it was about the Island. And all of them

@@barbiquearea That would’ve worked.

@@barbiquearea Same, so glad because I hated Kate's character all the way through. She's incredibly selfish and just a shit person. Very few, if any, redeemable qualities in her.

That's what makes little sense: Jacob could have just picked up Locke from season one instead of trying to convert Jack, a process that took 6 seasons.

Jacob didn't need a replacement at the time. There was no threat to his life in season 1.

No I think the island is sentient entity on its own, Jacobs is like a mediator creation of the island carrying out its will. Island really only wanted Hurley because both Jack and Locke or extremes of personality, it is not healthy to only believe in science nor is it sound to just live on faith, you need a balance that was Hurley. Yes I know Jack changed but he was still confused and unsure about lots of things like Locke was when he died they had not changed enough to be worthy to live on to protect the island.@@DarthRushy

As if Hurley wasn't unsure and confused?

Hurley has never been a leader I interpreted that scene as he being confused at how to be in charge, but with Ben helping him we saw Hurley become a great leader. @@DarthRushy

+Omar Garad if by 'taking responsibility' you mean 'brought countless number of people on the island to die; never told anyone anything; died and then, when there was no other choice, on the brink of death, told people to clean his mess and kill MiB for him' then yes. He clearly did take responsibility for that.

+KlaymenDel Do you think he went to hell?

+KlaymenDel I think he tried to prove a point to MiB.

+KlaymenDel Besides living for milennia would have probably evidenced the afterlife, if you knew what the afterlife was, and if it were peaceful, do you think you'd be a little more indiscriminate with people's lives?

He also didn't do that intentionally. He didn't know that was going to happen.

I think Jack was the chosen one from the get go. John Locke gave him the push to be the person he became

That's a backwards journey

@@louiswalrus8114 bro watched the show blindfolded 💀

the real trick is balancing both Science and Faith. Nothing is impossible.

@@Prisoner_849That’s a good point, and I think That is where Jack ended up. He came to his faith through science. He embraced his faith after all scientific explanations and rationalizations were exhausted. This is in contrast to Locke, who had a blind faith, which ultimately caused him to be led astray and easily manipulated. He even lost his faith at the first sign of difficulty (the orientation tape from The Pearl), whereas Mr. Eko’s faith was strengthened.

Just shows how the others: Dogan, Ben, etc. never truly understood Jacob, despite following him.

@@jackmayor3574 The lists were made to save people, who were not chosen by Jacob, from the monster. The chosen ones couldn't be killed by the smoke. So, even if Ben did not understand the will of Jacob, he was doing what the guardian of the island wanted : leave the chosen ones alone against the Man in black at the end without the risk he uses the unchosen ones to manipulate or kill the chosen ones in order to leave the island.

the writers totally made things up as they went along I doubt they knew what was going to happen one week ahead

@@firstname4337 I disagree

@@kbanghart The authors admitted doing that. When they wrote about the hatch they didnt knew what was in it. That's the way they wrote the whole show

I think the island gave them all a since of purpose. Something that the regular world just couldn't provide. They needed that place as much as it needed them:)

+sawaugust Too bad for all the people who died in the crash

i'd say it gave them purpose more than actually improving their lives. Locke got used, Jack's life purpose was to be a sacrificial lamb, Sawyer lost his one true love. I think it definitely was important, but it also was such a big impact on their lives that it kind of toyed with their minds

I feel so sorry for Michael though, he pretty much got fucked the moment he landed there.

@@juantorres-fk7bk yeah but then he acted like a total idiot

After all this time? Always.

I completely agree with your take! Beautiful inspiring arc

For some reason, "Lost" reminds me of the James Hilton novel, "Lost Horizons".

Hell yeah (13 years later)

@@boarendshorst3007 Whoah man. I can’t believe it’s been 13 years since this show ended. Time to rewatch Lost lol

Corey 1887 😂😂

+Oliver Henaine It would be funny if Jacob really spoke this quietly in the episode, and Hurley is like "Whut?... Dude we can't hear you!"

I'm looking for number 11 on my volume meter

Only thing I would have done different is do a few less of the "flash-sideways" in favor of more Island flashbacks, for more lore. And, I would have perpetuated the idea that whenever MIB takes a deceased person's appearance, that person's soul is trapped on the island. That way, they could have given an even more personal role to Jack in trying to free Locke, furthermore they could have had Locke's spirit take part in the final battle even though he was deceased. Maybe appear to lend one last helping hand somehow.

Me too!

moron

I didn't. Thought the plot was running thin

She's so selfish, lol. Couldn't stand her.

Jacob's lists I think just were instead those who weren't candidates. It excluded Jack, Sayid, Kate, Locke. All candidates. It may have been because actual candidates (those who were touched by Jacob, which Jack, Kate, Sayid and Locke were) were "protected" by Jacob's rules from harm by MIB. So Jacob didn't have to worry about them, however the rest who were on the lists were kidnapped to prevent MIB either killing them or recruiting them.

+Justin Lao got you

Lucifer from Supernatural

DEXTER FAM SPOTTED. ONLY WHEN HE GOES BACK TO HIS HEROIN GLORY DAYS 😂😂😂

BlackWind90 If Locke was alive it would have been between him and Jack

Damn! I really liked what you saw in this scene, what you said makes the goodbye between Sawyer and Jack much cooler: "Thanks, doc, for everything"

@@giada951 no, It would have been between Locke and Sawyer for the same reasons. Locke's death is one of the events that causes Jack to change into what Locke wanted him to be. When Locke meets Jack for the last time, Jack is at his worst, he's broken, angry, addicted and probably knows Locke is right about him needing to go back, but still shuts him down because he can't bring himself to admit it. But that is also the same day he buys his first ticket on a plane hoping to crash. When he finds out Locke is dead Is when he calls Kate for the "we have to go back!". That's the start, and then there's the whole season 5. Locke's death is the biggest influence on Jack going from "man of science" to "man of faith". Jack at the end of season 6 basically is Locke, far more than the man that uses his face.

@@BlackWind90 We all know this about Locke and Jack. But Sawyer never really cared about the Island, so he wouldn't have volunteered.

@@yevgeniyaleshchenko849 I don't think he would have done it "for the island", I think he would have done it because someone had to do it and if it had to be him because nobody else would, he would have stepped up. For Kate, for Hugo, hell even for Jack himself. And for payback for Sayid, Sun and Jin dying too probably, he's the vindictive kind of guy as we well know. Also at this point he's well aware of the absurdity of it all compared to common sense and logic, he literally traveled through time and lived in the 70s and never questioned it, because Sawyer has the "what you see is what it is" kind of approach. Jack was the kind of guy to jump to action at any time in the first saesons, because he had this urge to always "fix" any situation than needed it. But when it was a matter of "faith" and things that are out of ordinary logic, he struggled. As Sayid fixes the computer at the start of Season 2 to insert the numbers in the Swan station Jack is initially ready to let the count go to zero because he doesn't want to believe the idea of a "save the world button" and let alone Locke's concept of them being destined to do it. Locke goes through a hell of an effort to convince him. Jack also doesn't want to admit that Locke moved the Island when it disappears right in front of his eyes and denies it, even though he doesn't have explanations for it, to him it's just an Island and Island can't be "moved" by someone, it's a matter of principle, he's the man of science. What I was saying is I think Sawyer was the one that didn't really realized yet how much Jack had changed at this point. That's because of the placement of Sawyer's close ups in this scene and the way he looks at Jack, but of course I can be wrong and I can be reading too much into it. But I like to think that was the intent.

Onur Yaver Sorry to tell you but that's not really happening, it was an April fools joke

Never said never. Damon Lindelof himself said that someday Disney will bring Lost back. But Lindelof and Cuse don't want to be part of it for the future. It's a franchise. The problem is...we know everything about the island so...what now?

I hope they do a prequel to the show. Maybe show more of Richard and how he created the Others.

I hope they don't do anything new connected to LOST. It ended perfectly on it's own, and any more just might bog it down.

Locke wouldn't have been able to figure out what needed to be done, probably. He was too easily manipulated by MiB.

Elias Crane YES!!!!

Or "Yeah Jumbotron it ain't your wacky Dharma Ranch Dressing makin' you see things."

To be fair, having just seen 3 friends die in an assassination attempt that could have killed all of them and which he felt responsible for due to his impatience (following a prolonged 3 year period where he had shown wise and successful leadership before everything turned upside down again), I think snark was the last thing on his mind right then.

Didn't Jacob appear to Hurley before the island in the scene with the cab?

@@Quball87 that took place after he initially left the Island and right before the Ajira flight. Hurley is one of the few people Jacob didn’t communicate with before Oceanic Flight 815

You mean it's the vessel that Lucifer occupied? Not Lucifer himself lol

Mella Bella Nobody actually sees Lucifer himself because he needs an earthly vessel to walk amongst the rest of the characters.

Hahahahaaha oh snap.

They had all seen the smoke monster's power. I think it could be assumed it wouldn't be good if that got off the Island.

Jared Fladeland True, but Jacob was saying that one of them will have to stay to protect the island, then he says "You have to protect it from HIM" which still doesn't explain why the island is special. I just thought it was unrealistic that they wouldn't demand a solid explanation for what is going on and why one of them needs to take Jacob's place. I understand why it would be bad if the monster escaped, but from the perspective of Jack and the rest, there is no logical reason why this island is so important.

***** Yeah you're right, I was exaggerating when I said Jack volunteers without a good reason. I just mean that you'd think he and the other candidates would demand a proper explanation for what's happening, after all they've gone through.

***** You're right, there were some really well thought out ideas and themes in this show, so I'm not criticising it all as whole, mostly just scenes like this where the realism sort of takes a back seat. That aside, Lost is still a great series.

well, the man in black (human form) was desperate and probably not evil. The smoke monster truly was

Plus I suspect he wanted Kate to be a better mother than his own "Mother" ever was.
