@@charlene9489I watched it so long ago (and was obsessed) that now I've completely forgotten all the complicated details ect and it bugs me when I try to remember back. So this recap is just what I needed!
@charlene9489 You don't understand how badly I want to understand the show with watching the entire series, *and* a different multi-hour recap video of Lost :* OK, well, I guess I more-or-less understand it overall lmao Won't stop me from watching Mike's recap though❤
Network TV (AKA actual TV stations like NBC, ABC, CBS, etc) has 22-26 episode seasons to this day. 8, 10 and 13 episode seasons have always been more of a cable/premium channel thing. The Sopranos had like 13 episodes per season on HBO and that was back in 1999.
@@WiredLain_ it can actually be traced back to the 2007 writer's strike. A lot of shows had shorter seasons because of it and I think a lot of people, networks included realized they'd rather have shorter seasons with a solid plot throughout instead of 26 episodes where sometimes more than half are filler. When you look back at a lot of those pre writer strike shows so many of them have lists somewhere on the internet of which episodes are relevant and which are skippable because they would have episodes long meandering before getting back to the overarching plot for one episode.
I own physical DVD copies of the first two seasons of Lost that my dad bought back in the day (even when he saw the show as it aired on TV) and the box for season two has the numbers on the cover. It's really cool
As someone who has never seen Lost, this was so insanely fun and engaging to watch. Mike really deserves some type of lifetime achievement award for these recaps. Legendaric behavior is being exhibited here…
anyways, don’t listen to that first reply. i highly suggest giving it a shot. it’s a great mystery that gets way too much of a bad rap. this is coming from someone who first watched it within in the last 2 years, not a long time fan.
My adhd was never gonna let me sit through all these seasons knowing it ends badly....I can only experience the beauty of these iconic shows through Micheals Mike superior narration and storytelling
Not me thinking “the pilot alone cost $14 million” meant they had to hire an extremely exclusive real life pilot to play the person who drove the plane
@@shannonceleste5557 I think them making shows is more of a recent thing, but you used to be able to rent movies and films, so im sure if they had their own stuff way back when, it was available
this is really the dream for my adhd tendency to always know every detail that ever happened in a tv show without the effort of watching the entire thing
Wait thats exactly what I do too for every recap vid shjkdkd tho for this one I actually sat down on my 3rd rewatch and started binging while taking a bath, mike's got me HOOKED on this plot

I love how in episode 6 they make it sound like a huge dilemma between staying at the beach or staying in the caves, but the rest of the season people are communing between the camps like nothing
ikr? lmao when they first started arguing about it on the show I was like oh my god, just have two camps??? just have two camps that anyone can stay at if they want?? why is this an issue?? but I guess when you're stranded on a desert island there isn't much to do for entertainment so you start bitch fights where you can to pass the time

Shannon and Boone having to unexpectedly move seats and subsequently surviving the crash only to both gruesomely die shortly afterwards is the “course correcting” element displayed many weeks ahead of when that theme is revealed.
Gruesome? For Boone yes for Shannon I disagree. She just got shot and then shortly died afterwards. Which also with Lost while you can say I'm a Lostie sometimes the way people die confuse me a bit like some people can survive more serious injuries while other die of a gunshot wound very quickly when realistically it would take them more time to even get near death

Dear Mike, I am an older person (62) who really enjoyed Lost first time round. I am now re-watching with my 27 yr old daughter who still resents being sent to bed (unlike you) and I am feeling bad about my guilty pleasure all those years ago. Anyway, we are enjoying your analysis of the series and I am appreciating how much I missed first (and second!) time round. It is a revelation! We are desperately waiting for your analysis of what is going on in series two, because I am seriously confused (yet again!)
a couple years ago my mum and i watched my favourite childhood series and after that we watched like 15 episodes of my favourite sitcom. those are some of my favourite memories with her and we still joke about the shows sometimes :) i bet your daughter's gonna remember this in the same way, you seem like a great dad. 🌼
The fact that Lost starts out decently grounded in reality and slowly becomes more and more unhinged is really what draws you in like it locks you in like your too committed now to leave
I died laughing at: "The scariest thing is not what they find in the waterfall, but the fact that Sawyer is swimming in jeans." This was brilliant. Can't wait for the other unhinged season recaps.
mike is such a multitalented slay it girlie. fashion icon, visual artist, potential talk show host and also has a degree on something involving math... truly one of the greatest divas of our time edit: omg thank you guys for 1.7 million likes i'd like my nobel prize sent to my house
"Numbers" is THE EPISODE of all time! it has everything! curses, comically bad luck, wood working, a man on a hyperspecific mission, rage quitting from a fast food resteraunt
People who weren't there will not understand how exciting THE HATCH was. For weeks at school thats all we talked about, theories, conspiracies, all of it. When the light came on, holy shit! It was truly a golden era of TV
This is the format by which we'll enjoy old TV shows in the post apocalyptic wasteland: listening to a wise storyteller breathlessly recount each character beat and plot point as we sit around a camp fire together under the light of the stars ✨
it’s been 10 days and I just finished watching all of season 1 because of you micheal. I CANNOT stop saying “yeer tuken butt the numbirs” it’s truly concerning.
not even exaggerating when i say this is some of the most engaging and entertaining media ever created in this timeline like im so blessed to be able to consume this and understand the jokes truly
The fact that Mike asked for two things of Shannon’s actress: a pop career and to be a final girly in a horror film. Go and watch Taken right now, she’s completed both assignments!
Honestly I'd watch a mikes mic unhinged recap over any full length movie. This is honesly such a good time, the 2 and a half hours just FLEW by. The details and the amount of work is insane, so girlies please turn off the adblocker cause he truly deserves it
I think I will start after this video. I saw S1-3 when I was around ten and omg the feels I got just from this recap and the clips. it's intense and I never finished Lost
Sayid was a changing moment for me, when Charlie punched him and he almost instantly takes control of the situation...what a man, akso his torture scene with Sawyer is always slightly funny
It absolutely blows my mind that Mike isn't at 1 mill yet. The quality and consistency of his content is literally some of the best there is on TH-cam right now. The man singlehandedly spawned a new trend of content. The amount of recommend videos I get of other you tubers who have copied the iconic PLL backdrop to do their own review of what show they're interested in is massive. And yet Mike comes up with amazing new concepts everytime with a fresh view point on something that lots of others have already tried to do. Mike you really are a gift to this platform
To be clear he was taking after what a few other people had done before, and he states this in the PLL videos. I will say the PLL wall was QUITE iconic, and he definitely kick-started the trend.
@@beatm6948 He's not the first but he definitely gave a unique spin on how these deep dives are being done. I like that he switches it up for every series that me makes.
@@beatm6948 oh yeah I defs know he wasn't the first to do a deep dive, what I'm talking about specially is the backdrops and the way he presents them which I've seen replicated. Even though he was inspired by the VPD video that jenny did he formatted it completely differently than how she presents hers if ya know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I love Mike but I'm not deluded enough to think he invented deep dives 😅
love the representation of LOST fans from our generation. We were in the trenches and we definitely were too young to be enlisting. I had a middle school teacher who'd always ask if I caught the episode the night before and I was always like "how is THIS the one thing we have in common"
‘Too young to be enlisting’ NO because why was I watching this show at 9 years old!!! I was invested in every inch of the plot and I hadn’t even seen my first decade of life yet!!
I was in high school when it came out, there was a Lost group at one school I went to! Now I understand why. I told my husband Mike watched it when he was NINE😂
i started watching lost a few days ago because i wanted to understand what mike was talking about and everytime vincent was on screen i got the biggest smile, like that's queen and if anything happens to her or walt i'm going to cause some damage to the show writer's property
I’ve never seen Lost but all the mystery and hidden clues with the numbers and stuff is making me grateful l don’t have to figure it out for myself. I couldn’t look away for 10 seconds without pausing because I’d miss a whole huge plot detail. I was HOOKED. this looks like it took the most insane amount of planning, filming, and editing and it was so incredibly engaging and fun to watch - I hope you’re really proud of this one, Mike!! you really did THAT🙌🏻
If this had you hooked you really need to watch the show. The atmosphere is unlike anything I’ve ever seen and the show is so rewarding to watch because you keep figuring out new details even with rewatches or as you research things.
Mr. Michael-phone, you truly are a game changer and a trend setter. If you decide not to do any more after lost and gossip girl I won't blame you but you have literally changed the internet game with these series, you should be so proud. You've definitely changed the way I talk about shows forever; I quote you constantly.
Describing Sayid’s extreme and extensive knowledge of… torch-uh techniques as simply “less than cute” is HYSTERICAL but it’s MIKE so what did I even expect?
I hate starting a new series it always feels like such a commitment, especially for the long ones everyone's already seen. I absolutely GOBBLE up these recaps. Being in on the fun without having to spend hours on a show I might not even like just to get a couple pop culture references sucks and these videos are so incredibly well-made and hilarious. THANK YOU
tbh the show is only interesting until the finale of season 3, at least for me. I recommend the second season but it gets really boring towards the middle of the show
Mike this show was actually scaryyy. like. I was scared. Thanks for doing the work because I literally would never have the courage to watch it by myself
“He was the sacrifice the island demanded” has worked its way so thoroughly into my family’s day-to-day conversation that I forget that other people might not know what I’m talking about
"this guy is smokin...and he's also smoking a cigarette 😜" this is my third rewatch of this recap and it never gets old i freaking love it. can't wait for the season two recap!! currently on season three of lost and it's my first time watching.
Its scary how much mike is able to verbalize every terminally online gay thought in the exact way I think in... for 2 hrs about LOST 😭😭 im so entertained
the fact that two of the main/major writers of Lost (and a ton of the actors from Lost) went on to write (and act on) Once Upon a Time is a sign Mike needs to cover OUAT next 🤣
not sure if mike will cover ouat (if he does it will become a national holiday of course) but in the meantime, there's a video by Ava's Reads that follows a similar format to this series about ouat, and she said if it got enough support she'd be doing a video on season 2 😊very good video would recommend
I gotta say, this is a testament to how good this show is, because I too watched LOST when it premiered at age 9-10, (and haven’t rewatched it since then) but as you’ve gone through the plots of the first season I’m vividly recalling the episodes and their stories 😳 nearly 20 years later their still engrained in my mind.. the impact this show has!!
I actually remember sobbing my eyes out at 12 watching the first Locke centric episode when he realises he can move his foot again amidst all the chaos around him . I was like this is cinema babes ! I love lost
No literally. It’s the first show I remember binge watching. I started watching during finals week of my freshman year of college (terrible time to find a new obsession). I had already moved most of my furniture out of my dorm so I spent hours sitting on the floor watching Lost 😭
@laurent1009 yess me too! I got into it with my sister my senior year of high school and binged it on Netflix (I think this was 2011.) Every night like .5 seconds after my foot stepped off the school bus, we would be SEATED, watching Lost, late into the night
havent seen anyone mention this but Jack's blood type being O negative the universal donor again plays into Jack having this savior complex that he has to save everyone just like O negative blood can....the symbolism... it's all coming together.... yup... yup
my sophmore english teacher was SOOO obsessed with lost we watched an episode in class and analyzed it for a screenwriting unit. i’m about to send this to her
Mike I have to say I have NEVER watched a single episode of Lost but I’m 38 minutes into this recap and not only am I ENGROSSED in the content but I think I am successfully following along so far???? I know Lost gets absolutely nuts later on so I do not take this for granted! Loving loving loving this.
In the 8th grade, my male English teacher, made us watch Lost season 1 as a project. After each episode we had worksheets about the episode, relating to plot, characters and symbolism. Watching this excellent piece of media by Mr. Mic has given me flashbacks of watching Lost in a dark classroom with my classmates. We would all be go goobed together. I completely forgot how attractive Sayid is. Definitely wish Naveen, who plays Sayid, was given the opportunities for more roles. Very excited to watch the rest of the show with Mr. Mic since I never saw beyond season 1 because it seemed too much to watch all of it. Mr. Mic you’re a genius.
yo this show was SO IMPORTANT to me as a young teen and i never even REALIZED all the numbers showing up even in s1. thank you for educating me. this is fantastic.
ok guys- the recap concept is so intriguing to me. i'm like 90% sure it's supposed to be a map of the island, and the pictures he left in are supposed to represent where they are physically in relation to each other in the final 5x5 grid. SO excited to see how this plays out!!
And him repeating how important numbers and patterns are to him. I also think the colors relate to the level of which they have explored those certain areas. I also feel like it could be “conflict ” places.
This was my thought as well. The colors would all be present in a colorized map of the island and the only things that images that are shown in the grid are the locations that you could use place a square (or the grid?) on the map.
seriously. I rewatched it with someone had never seen it before and the moment Locke's theme came on I already preemptively started sobbing, talk about pavlovian.
I love how Sayid revealed to Charlie that there was heroin on the plane so casually, like obviously he had no idea Charlie was an addict, but it was like "Oh yeah over there was where we found a plane stocked full of heroin! Crazy right? Anyway, let's go"

Ive rewatched this masterpiece so many times that it is criminal its free
the Mikes Mic soft launch of his writing/filmmaking career is giving me chills
“Why’d they have to kill the hot one” made me laugh so much
"Numbers" is THE EPISODE of all time! it has everything! curses, comically bad luck, wood working, a man on a hyperspecific mission, rage quitting from a fast food resteraunt
People who weren't there will not understand how exciting THE HATCH was. For weeks at school thats all we talked about, theories, conspiracies, all of it. When the light came on, holy shit! It was truly a golden era of TV
Giving us a feature length film during Pride month is so slay coded
Deep guttural guffaw
This is the format by which we'll enjoy old TV shows in the post apocalyptic wasteland: listening to a wise storyteller breathlessly recount each character beat and plot point as we sit around a camp fire together under the light of the stars ✨
I call dibs on Mike being in my post-apocalyptic tribe!
Mike must be first in the bunker
it’s been 10 days and I just finished watching all of season 1 because of you micheal. I CANNOT stop saying “yeer tuken butt the numbirs” it’s truly concerning.
So you are? You're talking about the numbers?
I’m afraid so !!
Same! I finished season 1 and now am watching season 2 because of Mike and can’t stop saying yeer tuken butt the numbirs
you’re laughing. hugo is talking about the numbers and you’re laughing.
same here! on season 2 now & it’s a wild ride so far, i can’t wait to see mike’s takes on it
Hello to all the people coming back to rewatch this before the season two recap
I was very sad that I couldn't watch it because I tried and had ZERO clue what was going on.
not even exaggerating when i say this is some of the most engaging and entertaining media ever created in this timeline like im so blessed to be able to consume this and understand the jokes truly
I physically cannot express how badly I want this series to continue ITS SO GOOD
Fr I am in withdrawals from this video
@@annie5085fr!!
please i’m sitting here dying waiting for a part two of this one 😭😭 ik its sooo much effort but still i hope he does it plz mike🥲🥲🥲😭😭😭
@@claudiasnyder2809 i literally check in every day 😭😭
Rightttt?? Part 2 please!! 🙏🏼
caricanread and mike’s mic dropping 2+ hour plot breakdowns within 24 hours of eachother??? we are being FED ladies
it's like our very own oppenheimer vs. barbie except both are barbies
we keep winning it's true
yes yes yes yes
YESSSSS
Blessings 😍💗✨
The fact that Mike asked for two things of Shannon’s actress: a pop career and to be a final girly in a horror film. Go and watch Taken right now, she’s completed both assignments!
hold onnnnn THAT'S HER 😳
She also had a regular role in Fear The Walking Dead and she almost looks completely different with that haircut
Honestly I'd watch a mikes mic unhinged recap over any full length movie. This is honesly such a good time, the 2 and a half hours just FLEW by. The details and the amount of work is insane, so girlies please turn off the adblocker cause he truly deserves it
ooh seconding Jane the Virgin
mike is doing so much for the pop culture. he deserves an award for each appropriately unhinged recap
This connects more dots than the 2 times I've watched Lost, gooped gagged and gobsmacked Mike's an angel
same
the way i’ve fallen asleep to this for a month straight
OMG ME TOO?
real
Same
I am in the process of doing that currently 🙃.
Mike has consistently given us some of the best recaps TH-cam has ever seen
mike you’ve done it again. constantly raising the bar for us all
And doing it flawlessly.
I was worried when Mike was gone for so long but he was clearly getting ready too serve harder then ever
I literally started watching lost for this recap - let me repeat - I watched over 23 hours of tv for this 2 hour recap. It was 100% worth if
Unwavering commitment
I think I will start after this video. I saw S1-3 when I was around ten and omg the feels I got just from this recap and the clips. it's intense and I never finished Lost
LITERALLY SAME. I just finished lost season 1, specifically to watch this. gonna start fresh with Lost season 2 tomorrow. I am so excited!
Forgot how absolutely FERAL I was for Sayid as a literal 9 year old. The pink print for me personally.
It was Sawyer for me. My God that man was beautiful.
Hahaha I was so anti-Sawyer. I’m glad he had his fans too.
Sayid was a changing moment for me, when Charlie punched him and he almost instantly takes control of the situation...what a man, akso his torture scene with Sawyer is always slightly funny
For me it was Jin, but I loved Sun so much that I felt bad about it
How did you feel about his relationship with Shannon?
feel like this video is about to irrevocably change my life.
edit: it did.
i only know this word from twilight
It absolutely blows my mind that Mike isn't at 1 mill yet. The quality and consistency of his content is literally some of the best there is on TH-cam right now. The man singlehandedly spawned a new trend of content. The amount of recommend videos I get of other you tubers who have copied the iconic PLL backdrop to do their own review of what show they're interested in is massive. And yet Mike comes up with amazing new concepts everytime with a fresh view point on something that lots of others have already tried to do. Mike you really are a gift to this platform
"You can't outdo the doer if the doer is always changing what's being done."
To be clear he was taking after what a few other people had done before, and he states this in the PLL videos. I will say the PLL wall was QUITE iconic, and he definitely kick-started the trend.
@@beatm6948 He's not the first but he definitely gave a unique spin on how these deep dives are being done. I like that he switches it up for every series that me makes.
@@beatm6948 oh yeah I defs know he wasn't the first to do a deep dive, what I'm talking about specially is the backdrops and the way he presents them which I've seen replicated. Even though he was inspired by the VPD video that jenny did he formatted it completely differently than how she presents hers if ya know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, I love Mike but I'm not deluded enough to think he invented deep dives 😅
i do not understand how he doesn't have 1m subscribers AT LEAST.. it makes naur sense
In my opinion, Hurley's cursed numbersgate is the most interesting storyline. I can't wait to find out more about it
“why is there a rubbish bin in the jungle” something about the delivery of this has me actually crying from laughter
love the representation of LOST fans from our generation. We were in the trenches and we definitely were too young to be enlisting. I had a middle school teacher who'd always ask if I caught the episode the night before and I was always like "how is THIS the one thing we have in common"
‘Too young to be enlisting’ NO because why was I watching this show at 9 years old!!! I was invested in every inch of the plot and I hadn’t even seen my first decade of life yet!!
I love this.
From a fellow kiddo who was allowed to watch lost 😂
I was in high school when it came out, there was a Lost group at one school I went to! Now I understand why. I told my husband Mike watched it when he was NINE😂
This is a reminder that Madison, the dog that played Vincent is still alive and loving life in Hawaii! She's 23 years old
Dogs like her don't live that long.
Omg that's wonderful!
23 YEARS??? ur talkin bout the numbahs
So why don't you remove this comment?
i started watching lost a few days ago because i wanted to understand what mike was talking about and everytime vincent was on screen i got the biggest smile, like that's queen and if anything happens to her or walt i'm going to cause some damage to the show writer's property
I can’t overstate how badly I need season 2 for the state of my mental health
so many people are putting out movie length show recaps but only mike's mic reinvents the genre every time he posts a video
Can’t believe that the creators of Lost’s target audience, Michael Microphone, caught every little damn thing and got it so right
I’ve never seen Lost but all the mystery and hidden clues with the numbers and stuff is making me grateful l don’t have to figure it out for myself. I couldn’t look away for 10 seconds without pausing because I’d miss a whole huge plot detail. I was HOOKED. this looks like it took the most insane amount of planning, filming, and editing and it was so incredibly engaging and fun to watch - I hope you’re really proud of this one, Mike!! you really did THAT🙌🏻
If this had you hooked you really need to watch the show. The atmosphere is unlike anything I’ve ever seen and the show is so rewarding to watch because you keep figuring out new details even with rewatches or as you research things.
you genuinely need to binge season 1 and 2. The twists and turns in S2 are SO engaging. I can't imagine waiting weekly for the episodes.
I knew you would understand the iconicness that is Shannon. No Shannon slander, Shander, if you will, in this house.
Shlander
Yeah like I can definitely see Shannon be a character to annoy some people but she didn't annoy me
Most unrealistic part of Lost is everyone wearing jeans on a 13 hour flight
and women not growing an inch of hair for the whole time they were in the island like did they have so many razors? i dont understand
@@seydaonyoutube I'm going to take a guess the knives were probably used for that
@@devonmunn5728if i’m stranded on a magical tropical island i ain’t shaving my legs 😂
Mr. Michael-phone, you truly are a game changer and a trend setter. If you decide not to do any more after lost and gossip girl I won't blame you but you have literally changed the internet game with these series, you should be so proud. You've definitely changed the way I talk about shows forever; I quote you constantly.
Describing Sayid’s extreme and extensive knowledge of… torch-uh techniques as simply “less than cute” is HYSTERICAL but it’s MIKE so what did I even expect?
"one of the irrelevant ones, like scott or somethin" don't leave out the best running joke of show, the scott/steve bit
As someone who often skips entire shows by reading their wikia pages I deeply appreciate these videos
omg same, this is way more fun
I really did not want to watch this show when it was on and I still don't but I like this recap.
Omg I also do this😭
@@thundercat602 have I watched game of thrones? No. Do I know the entire plot? Yes 😌
This is how I know the plots of so many horror movies 😭
I hate starting a new series it always feels like such a commitment, especially for the long ones everyone's already seen. I absolutely GOBBLE up these recaps. Being in on the fun without having to spend hours on a show I might not even like just to get a couple pop culture references sucks and these videos are so incredibly well-made and hilarious. THANK YOU
Girlie literally same💅✨✨
Same
This is a great series tho, only 6 seasons. Definitely worth watching!!
The dilemma now becomes, do I watch the rest of Lost to find out what happens, or do I wait for Mike’s next video to tell me? 🤔
Watch it! At the very least watch season 2! It's SO worth watching and seeing it yourself for the first time.
definitely watch it, mike’s videos are fun to watch regardless
tbh the show is only interesting until the finale of season 3, at least for me. I recommend the second season but it gets really boring towards the middle of the show
How’s your LOST marathon going? Lol
Yes. You absolutely must finish watching this show!
Locke is SO funny to me. He just says things.
Mike this show was actually scaryyy. like. I was scared. Thanks for doing the work because I literally would never have the courage to watch it by myself
There is so much beauty, love, friendship & human connection in this show, it'll totally cancel out the scary parts if only you give it a fair chance.
pleaseee, i was scared watching this 😭 the fear I accumulated from watching this as a kid has not dissipated AT ALL
For some reason the lost intro scared me that Erie whaaaaaa music and then the title coming at you skewed it always made my heart sync
It was the "bad robot" for me. IYKYK 😮💨
@@avery2winc most atmospheric intro to a show like it's actually crazy 😭
“He was the sacrifice the island demanded” has worked its way so thoroughly into my family’s day-to-day conversation that I forget that other people might not know what I’m talking about
I love this so much!! 😅
"In flashback 5 Hurley is at a mental institution to see Mona Vanderwaal"
I laughed out loud
"this guy is smokin...and he's also smoking a cigarette 😜"
this is my third rewatch of this recap and it never gets old i freaking love it. can't wait for the season two recap!! currently on season three of lost and it's my first time watching.
Its scary how much mike is able to verbalize every terminally online gay thought in the exact way I think in... for 2 hrs about LOST 😭😭 im so entertained
the fact that two of the main/major writers of Lost (and a ton of the actors from Lost) went on to write (and act on) Once Upon a Time is a sign Mike needs to cover OUAT next 🤣
There are SO MANY references to Lost in OUAT it’s crazy 😂 definitely down for that coverage!
I didn’t know they had a hand in writing OUAT, but that makes perfect and complete sense 😂
The family tree would have to be a 5 part series
not sure if mike will cover ouat (if he does it will become a national holiday of course) but in the meantime, there's a video by Ava's Reads that follows a similar format to this series about ouat, and she said if it got enough support she'd be doing a video on season 2 😊very good video would recommend
YESS PLS
I gotta say, this is a testament to how good this show is, because I too watched LOST when it premiered at age 9-10, (and haven’t rewatched it since then) but as you’ve gone through the plots of the first season I’m vividly recalling the episodes and their stories 😳 nearly 20 years later their still engrained in my mind.. the impact this show has!!
It wasn’t when it premiered but I watched it 9-10 (haven’t rewatched it since) and why do I remember it beat for beat plot for plot?????
The fact that him mentioning the bamboo under the nails made me have a visceral reaction of watching that scene for the first time
Same
I actually remember sobbing my eyes out at 12 watching the first Locke centric episode when he realises he can move his foot again amidst all the chaos around him . I was like this is cinema babes ! I love lost
The whole Claire backstory is irrefutable evidence for why men shouldn’t get a say in women’s reproductive health. Absolute tool of a boyfriend.
He deserved his ass beat for that. If only Claire’s big brother had been around (iykyk)
@@goldrush18x I KNOW. I DO 😭
NOTHING will ever beat the feeling of watching through Lost for the first time.
I wish I could watched it for the first time again, I heard about the show for a while but never got to watch it until pandemic and thank god I did
No literally. It’s the first show I remember binge watching. I started watching during finals week of my freshman year of college (terrible time to find a new obsession). I had already moved most of my furniture out of my dorm so I spent hours sitting on the floor watching Lost 😭
@laurent1009 yess me too! I got into it with my sister my senior year of high school and binged it on Netflix (I think this was 2011.) Every night like .5 seconds after my foot stepped off the school bus, we would be SEATED, watching Lost, late into the night
MIKE HOW DID YOU KNOW I NEEDED NEARLY 3 HOURS OF LOST CONTENT TO WATCH BEFORE BED, I LOVE YOU!!!!!! best show ever
I got 5 hours of Lost content on my channel if you want more. A docu about the show's creation.
Is the “easy to follow mythology” in the room with us?
havent seen anyone mention this but Jack's blood type being O negative the universal donor again plays into Jack having this savior complex that he has to save everyone just like O negative blood can....the symbolism... it's all coming together.... yup... yup
my sophmore english teacher was SOOO obsessed with lost we watched an episode in class and analyzed it for a screenwriting unit. i’m about to send this to her
absolutely iconic. mike’s miconators are so well fed
Is that what we're called?💀😂
Sounds like a baconator from Wendy’s and I’m fine with that lmao
Literally take my money, this is the best TH-cam deep dive I've ever watched
Mike I have to say I have NEVER watched a single episode of Lost but I’m 38 minutes into this recap and not only am I ENGROSSED in the content but I think I am successfully following along so far???? I know Lost gets absolutely nuts later on so I do not take this for granted! Loving loving loving this.
Don't worry, you'll.... get lost 🤠
You should watch the show its actually amazing!!
This cliff hanger is just as painful as when I watched the show when it originally aired 💀
In the 8th grade, my male English teacher, made us watch Lost season 1 as a project. After each episode we had worksheets about the episode, relating to plot, characters and symbolism.
Watching this excellent piece of media by Mr. Mic has given me flashbacks of watching Lost in a dark classroom with my classmates. We would all be go goobed together. I completely forgot how attractive Sayid is. Definitely wish Naveen, who plays Sayid, was given the opportunities for more roles.
Very excited to watch the rest of the show with Mr. Mic since I never saw beyond season 1 because it seemed too much to watch all of it. Mr. Mic you’re a genius.
I knew I recognised the actor (Naveen andrews) from somewhere when I watched sense8, he plays the role of jonas maliki! and very well at that
Okay I had this exact same experience--was your teacher's name Mr. Boyd?????
He was also on The Dropout playing Elizabeth Holmes' boyfriend!
@@jackwilliams6535no it wasn’t but cool that you too watched it in school
Inspired by this video, I have finished watching season one of Lost. Onto season two.
Did I turn my ad blocker off and reload the page? I did. I did do that. For YOU
I know this will be a lot of work but I’d LOVE an appropriately unhinged recap of desperate housewives. That show has the most wild plot
omg retweet
Definitely a good idea after Lost and gossip girl
i fink he tweeted he was going to do a desperate housewives video
Retweet omg omg omg yes yes yes please Mike
PLEEAAASEEEE
yo this show was SO IMPORTANT to me as a young teen and i never even REALIZED all the numbers showing up even in s1. thank you for educating me. this is fantastic.
ok guys- the recap concept is so intriguing to me. i'm like 90% sure it's supposed to be a map of the island, and the pictures he left in are supposed to represent where they are physically in relation to each other in the final 5x5 grid. SO excited to see how this plays out!!
And him repeating how important numbers and patterns are to him. I also think the colors relate to the level of which they have explored those certain areas. I also feel like it could be “conflict ” places.
Sorta kinda thinking s2 has to expend the island to the right to make room for the others camp and the the Sara ma stations but ur so correct
This was my thought as well. The colors would all be present in a colorized map of the island and the only things that images that are shown in the grid are the locations that you could use place a square (or the grid?) on the map.
I am more interested in the recap concept than the actual recaps. I am on tenterhooks for the analysis of the recap concepttttt
PLEASE MIKE I NEED SEASON 2
There is no one on this earth that can make the same joke "tHeYrE tAlKiN bOuT tHe NuMbErS," this many times and make me laugh this much. Icon behavior
I’m so glad Mike’s talking about the soundtrack- it’s honestly so beautiful! Locke’s theme breaks my heart every time
seriously. I rewatched it with someone had never seen it before and the moment Locke's theme came on I already preemptively started sobbing, talk about pavlovian.
I love how Sayid revealed to Charlie that there was heroin on the plane so casually, like obviously he had no idea Charlie was an addict, but it was like "Oh yeah over there was where we found a plane stocked full of heroin! Crazy right? Anyway, let's go"
for the amount of times i’ve watched this in anticipation of the season 2 recap, i could’ve just watched the show 💀
