I don't know what is more disquieting
God, imagine if that was on top of you. Imagine if it didn't have its sandal on too. That'd be really weird.
There is the legless trunk, but where is the shattered visage?
Let me add that to the list of bullshit that didn't matter
did we confirm its a female statue?
God this show was such trash.
Was this ever explained? I can’t remember.
Maybe ancient people thought building a foot is enough
no.
they literally just made shit up as they went along.
Yeah, it used to be a whole statue.
This never spooked me
So ancient people built a big statue and gave it four toes, so what? Have they seen how fucked up ancient representations of the body were? Could just be that they didn't have enough room for the pinky toe
that was mega spooky the first time I saw it on TV
Okay since we're having the occasional LOST thread today can someone explain to me why there were polar bears on the island? I know at first it was probably just the writers throwing stuff at the wall, but they reappeared later in the Dharma research building right? Why polar bears and not something more suited for the climate?
Why was there Egyptian statues and hieroglyphs again?
something something electromagnetics
it's better just to accept that lost was about the journey and any kind of payoff was for the characters only
It explained why they were there but not really why polar bears were chosen. Was there any explanation to why any of the animals were chosen or why animals at all? Weren't there sharks too?
I remember that it used to be a full statue from a previous civilisation, but did they ever explain why there were only 4 toes?
They were testing the island's electromagnetic properties on animals from different climates around the world, I think
I still remember watching this, never got past season 3. Season 1 was the best for so many reasons
>Smoke Monster is just the Freudian ID set loose
>Fucking Ethan
Absolute kino. Especially Ethan, that motherfucker was terrifying. Didn't even look like a flesh-and-blood human once he was ousted as the faker
Shame they "expanded" on everything and ruined it. Seeing Ethan as a regular guy in flashbacks and the Smoke Monster as a fucking dude was awful
I watched the show when it originally aired and I was really into it. I tried rewatching it a couple years ago and season 3 was where I had to quit. Once you know how crazy stuff gets without and that there is no explanation at the end it ruins the show.

>The story???
The original explanation was going to be that Walt had the power to summon animals from things he was reading (hinted at in a flashback where a bird flies into his window while he's reading a book about birds). In the first episode with the polar bear, Walt was reading Hurley's Flash comic, which had a polar bear on the cover. This is probably related to why the Others wanted Walt and what they were doing with him. However, after Walt's actor visibly aged too fast for the slow pace of the early seasons, they dropped his subplot and made up some bullshit about scientists doing experiments on bears.
t. not a brainlet, idk why no one else has realized this
>"We swear, the ending won't be purgatory!"
>it's literally purgatory
Shoulda ended at S4, abrupt non-conclusive ending would have aged a lot better than what we got.
Because out of the 300 questions the show presents most people forgot about the black kid that was barely around.
Only the second timeline was purgatory retard
So, it's purgatory. Cool.
>asshole hacks never explained why four toes
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Egyptians were on the island once and they used hieroglyphs
rewatch the orientation video and think really hard
God this show attracted the dumbest people
>I don't know what is more disquieting
>The fact that the rest of the story is missing
>Or, that it has four endings
Based
they said the show didn't take place in purgatory, which it didnt
The final scene of the final episode proves the Island is Purgatory.
this was lost in a nutshell
just making up stupid "mystical" shit that never matters or has any thought behind it
The island wasn't purgatory, the alternate timeline was the purgatory they entered after dying on the island (which was real). Did you watch the show?
no you idiot only the flash-sideways from the last season were. what part of christian saying "everything that happened to you was real" did you not get? they put that in there for people like you and you still didn't understand
>Was this ever explained?
“Did something pay off in Lost?”
No.
who cares. J J Binks wrote it and he sucks.
Ozymandias was a furry
