I watched this after watching your Heroes video. And the focus on character makes such a difference. I liked both shows a lot (up to a point). But Lost affected the world a bit, and the characters are beloved; with Heroes I barely remember anything aside from a general idea of the main characters.
24:15 the men in Black is technically responsible for Nikki in Paulos deaths as well as Echos. The creator of the show said that the medusa spiders that bite Nikki we’re actually the Man in Black which lead to them getting buried alive, although quite frankly that just brings up even more questions. Another unanswered question is why Walt kept appearing to Shannon before her death
I love your work, I'm à huge fan of mysteries show from France. I just want to say that half your list of unsolved mysterie have actually been answered. I'll give two big ones: The original Sawyer was Locke father and He was killed by James on the island, And miss Hawking didn't Know everything: she was the leader of the others and when she killed her son Daniel she took his journal so she knew everyrhing who was written because at the End she say to Penelope that for the first time in à long time she does'nt Knowles what's going to happend because the time reach the End of the journal. I'm french so I'm sorry if it's hard to read... Keep doing this I love it, there show like The Strain or Fringe who could been seen as mysteries shows to
On the question regarding the original Sawyer, this isn't one of the many little questions that are left. This is straight up answered in the show. He is Locke's father, and James Ford (our Sawyer) kills him. The one I always wanted to know was who was shooting at the canoe. It is likely Alana's people though.
Amazing video! Thanks for your work! But about your list of non-answered questions... 24:16 Too many of these can be answerd with "electromagnetism", wich sucks But how do you consider some of these "small mysteries"? - Why does the island kill pregnant women - The numbers?? - Where did the polar bears come from? - Jack's dad? - Eko's death? - The numbers??
The way you explain this helps me clearly see how The Leftovers was created. I'd venture to guess the same principles governing the Flash Sideways in Lost are what govern Kevin's dream world in The Leftovers i.e. a limbo before the true afterlife populated by other people who have passed on, except in Lost all of the people are working through things whereas in The Leftovers the denizens of the afterlife go to other people's limbos to help them with their issues. Love it!
I watched LOST live in the 2000s, while I was in college, and I thought it sucked. Season one was good, at the time, but you could tell they were just making stuff up mid-way through season two cause they were introducing more questions than answers, and good mysteries don't do that after completing a story (season one.) The writers insisted at the time, they knew where everything was going, but as we learned through interviews over the years, that was a complete lie and they literally made stuff up as they went along, with no endgame in sight. By the end of season two, they had planned to end the series by season three, but ABC literally wouldn't let them end the show, cause it was too big and too popular. So that's why season 4 and 5 were so awful; they had no idea when they could actually wrap up the series. Season 6 was hated by most people in 2010, and only the most diehard fans defended it, insisting it was a Christianity metaphor. Even the local ABC newscasters were confused by the ending just minutes after the series' final episode ended. It wasn't a "bad" ending, but it didn't explain much of anything for the series overall; it just wrapped up season six's plot points; that's why people hated it. In the future, I can now say that LOST was not a good show. Compelling characters, but a story that went nowhere, because ABC wouldn't allow the showrunners Lindelof and Cruse, to end the show when they planned to. I like this channel's Mystery Box series (because I've seen most of these shows and as a writer myself, consider JJ Abrams to be a huge hack and talentless,) but the other stuff on here is a weird mish-mash of random content. So I'll watch this playlist of thirty-ish videos, at least.
Had to go back and watch your old videos. I can't get enough.
Wow, this was sooooo well done. How does this have only 156 views. You need to get this out there more.
I love the way you did this, thanks for telling me about it on Reddit, looking forward to your "Manifest" video!

But about your list of non-answered questions... 24:16

But how do you consider some of these "small mysteries"?
- Why does the island kill pregnant women
- The numbers??
- Where did the polar bears come from?
- Jack's dad?
- Eko's death?
- The numbers??
What I meant is that the Big Mystery of the show is “What is the island?” and every other mystery is smaller relative to that

Ah... so you don't believe in the supernatural slant to the show The Leftovers? 😀
They killed off Shannon way too early
