so i just finished rewatching Lost after like 10 yrs or smth and idk it hit sooo different this time

when i first watched it i was mad into the mystery stuff the hatch the numbers smoke monster all that insane dharma lore i was deep in forums tryin to connect dots like i was solving some giant puzzle i thought it was all abt the answers

but now bro the answers weren’t even the point

this time i was way more into the characters like really watching them jack tryna fix things like a hero complex kate runnin from literally everything locke just wanting smth to believe in so bad it hurt even the side ppl were fighting their own demons fr

the island wasn’t just weird it was like emotional jail made em confront every part of themselves they been tryna avoid pain guilt grief shame all that raw stuff

and like all the plot holes i used to rage abt didn’t even care now like yeah it’s messy but it was never about being tight and clean it was always about the ppl that was the real story

even the ending which i def used to hate now it lowkey wrecked me like it wasn’t about death it was about letting go finding peace real closure kinda vibes that last scene had me just sitting there like damn

Lost is chaotic sometimes ngl but it’s also weirdly real just broken ppl trying to make sense of themselves and each other and that’s way more powerful than any big reveal or mystery box

if u haven’t rewatched in a while do it don’t watch for the lore watch for the feels it rlly hits diff now
