LOST EXPLAINED
A channel dedicated to creating and sharing a series of videos that explain the mythology and mysteries of seminal television show LOST (2004-2010). From the light beneath the island to the smoke monster and beyond, every mystery will be answered right here.
There will always be an element of deduction and/or speculation present from video to video as there are aspects of LOST that were intentionally (and unintentionally) left ambiguous. My hope is to be able to provide both canon answers and some more creative solutions to mysteries. Almost all of my explanations will be based on information provided from within the show and not too many external sources.
Please feel free to add your thoughts and share your own ideas in the comments. LOST remains a show designed to keep us talking.
LOST EXPLAINED
Get the tissues ready for the most emotional episode of the season in which life and death hang in the balance on The Island, quite literally. We shall explore all things Jack as the man is pushed to his limits as a doctor in the wild; explore why the first person to go HAD to be Boone; discuss what birth and pregnancy mean to the overall mythology; and unpack exactly what "letting go" truly means.

The con is on! Locke’s belief in the Island is tested like never before. In this episode guide, we’ll break down the meaning behind his prophetic nightmare and the true purpose of Boone’s “sacrifice,” whilst exploring who or what is pulling the strings on these events: The Island or The Man in Black?

LOST EXPLAINED
How do you redeem an unsympathetic character and make the audience care? LOST nails it in the hugely underrated '...In Translation'. The raft burns, Jin takes the blame, and tensions with Michael hit boiling point, forcing Sun to finally find her voice. Plus, I break down the divisive Sayid/Shannon romance (Shayid as I like to call them) and Locke’s growing role as therapist to the castaways.

LOST EXPLAINED
Sawyer hears voices in the jungle and chases after a wild boar with a vendetta against him, but who or WHAT is he really chasing out there? We will explore and explain the nature of the whispers on the island and its various animal manifestations, whilst also dissecting the show's preoccupation with themes of "what goes around comes around" karma and the self-destructive power of revenge.

Did you know that co-creator/showrunner Damon Lindelof considers 'Homecoming' the worst episode they ever did of LOST? We are going to discuss why that is, and whether or not he's right. There are many problems with this Charlie-centric episode, including some underwhelming flashbacks and some anti-climatic on-island action, but are there any redeeming features?

What's the deal with Walt? Some of the biggest questions in the early days of LOST all revolved around this character. Why is he special? What are his powers? Why did the show leave so much of his story unresolved? Did the writers do Michael and Walt dirty?
