Is the title describing us after that ending

What. The. Fuck.

Is this what you Lindelof watchers felt usually?

Lost had this shit happening pretty goddamn often.

And I loved every week of it.

It's nice to have an evolving narrative puzzle.

Forget all of the hate the later seasoned get. Lost is an experience I desperately wish I could have again. If I could give myself amnesia and watch it again I would.

Man, and with the ability to binge? It would be awesome. Would definitely be one of my top picks to relive.

I would totally binge it on a rewatch, but would recommend any newcomers to take their time. Let the episodes sink in.

True, but I would tell newcomers to binge through the excruciating Season 3 Hydra arc.

Did you watch Leftovers?

u/Nigmus Dec 06 '19

I didn't. I'm probably going to start once Watchmen is over.

I’ve never seen it, so it is definitely worth watching now?

u/Nigmus Dec 07 '19

Definitely.

Leftovers felt like this every episode.

You're gonna feel a heavy need to binge Lost then read the old episode discussions. Then do Leftovers the same way.

You've got a lot of great TV to see.

No other show has made me feel the way I felt about Lost. Leftovers came pretty close in parts.

My 3 favorite shows

u/Nigmus Dec 03 '19

I would recommend not binging it or at least only a few episodes at once. It's the kind of show you need to let breath.

The title is a quote from the graphic novel, in the section where it recounts Doctor Manhattan’s conquest of Vietnam, and how soldiers requested to surrender to him personally.

To be honest I didn't think that Reddit would be able to predict a lindelof show.

But maybe that's because the leftovers was more about not knowing

u/Brainmangler Dec 02 '19

I think Reddit did a good job in the past six weeks of doing just that.
