Mid-series finale… is Lost Season 3 one of the best finale episodes?

Jefferson Wentworth

Howdy brothers, how long did it take you to twig that the final episodes flash back was actually a flash forward? A clue is that the name of the funeral parlour ‘Hoffs/Drawlar’ is an anagram of flash forward. Does Dagan have a prediction as to who is in the coffin? Also, gotta give a shout out to the character of the season being the cool, one eyed, near immortal Mikhail Bakunin (yet another character named after a philosopher).

I believe the season finale is my favorite episode of LOST and one of TVs biggest WTF moments ever. Did you see the twist coming and where do you think the show will go from here?

Hey guys....... we have to go back....... WE HAVE TO GO BACK! My question is, where were guys in life when the final episode of this season aired? Did you remember the discourse around it with other people? I remember recording it for my grandmother on VHS, for even she was in the cultural wave with this show like so many. She passed away not long after this season but what an end to leave the show on in her life. Anyway keep up the good show.

The season finale of this season lives rent free in my head! As the season gets you complacent with boring flashbacks and you start to wonder what more they can explore they suddenly hit you with a flash forward which changed everything! See you in another life brother!

Hey there Nikki and Paulo fan boys, We have to go back! Oh man, that’s my favorite moment in all of television. But that’s not what I am here to comment about! There are two little known pieces of official LOST media that are, as far as I’m concerned, essential viewing, as they contain information about some of the important mysteries that the series itself never addresses. These are an Epilogue after season six that was released as a DVD exclusive, and a unique slew of promotional content released between seasons 2 and 3. Before season 3 released, there was a canon online ARG (Alternate Reality Game) that fans participated in where you had to scour promotional content for clues that eventually led you to secret online videos from an investigative reporter, Rachael Blake, looking in to the corrupt Hanso Foundation and the Dharma Initiative. I didn’t get on board with the show until right after all this came out, before season 3 started, and didn’t know about it until later. (There was something similar between seasons 3 and 4 that I did participate in where you followed some guy who’s girlfriend was supposedly on flight 815 he tries to figure out what happened to her. That one didn’t really reveal anything and was less interesting.) This content is now considered semi-canon to the show itself (though I consider it essential) and the HUGE answers to some mysteries that were never answered in the show itself were later confirmed as accurate by the show’s creators, Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse,in response to fans complaining about some “unanswered” mysteries that WERE answered during this ARG. This content is ESSENTIAL for the full experience if you care about the show’s mysteries. I won’t say more than that until after you finish Season 6, but I have some strong opinions I must share at that point related to this. Please watch these. When my cousin was watching for the first time a couple years ago, I compiled a playlist of everything you need to watch between seasons 2 and 3 for him. It starts with an interview with the fictional author Gary Troup, the man who was sucked into the plane engine in the first episode, and it culminates with the critically important Sri Lanka Video. Here’s a link to the playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLa2EB12SSFZtUxXTlE__HjpWK0DHvsheP If nothing else, at least watch the Sri Lanka Video.

The playlist is in an appropriate watch order, as released as best I could tell, and for the videos that I couldn’t figure out exact timing on I just placed them where I thought they made the most sense.

Hello, The Man from Tallahassee and the Man Behind the Curtain. I wanted to hear Dagan’s thoughts about my favorite character in the series: Richard Alpert. What do you think so far of the man who doesn’t age?

Hey Moriarty Bros, for me Lost always does a good job at handling the correct tone when it comes to character death scenes up to this point. It even managed to make Artz blowing up funny in season 1. But I still to this day find Charlie's death to be one of the more emotional deaths in TV. I typically find slow motion to come across as really cheesy in media if not done well but here it absolutely fits with the perfect score by Michael Giacchino and great acting by Dominic Momaghan & Henry Ian Cusick. Did this death manage to bring out the emotions of the harden skinned Moriarty bros? Take care

Richard Darling

Alright Lads, Lost's greatest strengths were always the masterful episode (or season) openers & WTF stingers that kept you wanting more. How a single sentence can upend the entire dynamic of a show will always floor me. Simply flipping the familiar flashback formula to flashfoward for that doozy of a twist is nothing short of genius in my book, and I'm wondering how you both felt about. "We have to go back!"

Hey gentlemen, my question is for Dagan. Now that we’ve been officially introduced to Benjamin Linus and know who he really is after the Henry Gale alias of season 2, what do you think of the character and Michael Emerson’s performance? Season 3 was really the point where he started becoming my favorite character, with the highlight being episode 20 with the cabin and his interactions with Locke.

The first 10 episodes are somewhat hit and miss but I think the back end of season 3 contains the best episodes of Lost in ‘The Man from Tallahassee’, ‘The Brig’, and ‘The Man behind the curtain. Would you prefer a handful of standout episodes surrounded by some admittedly average ones over the relative consistency of season two that for my money lacked any episodes that hit the heights of the best of Season 3.

Season 3 of Lost represents the height of my Lost fandom. Looking up theories, listening to podcasts, reading interviews with Carlton Cuse and Damien Lindeloff, etc. While it wasn’t as well paced during the rewatch as season 2, it still was full of more memorable moments for me that I still think about from time to time. After this season, it declined for me (in my memory, anyway). I just remember it getting very wacky and not loving the direction of the show. I’m curious though if that will change since I haven’t watched it since it aired.
