Jordan Flight 9 What was Lindelof and Cuse's Lost

The Tipping Point
The plot of the show thickens when the viewers start to realize that they are not on an ordinary island. Among the island’s mysteries they encounter are polar bears, a smoke monster, a 16-year-old distress signal, a science research colony, a button that needs to be pressed every 108 minutes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a chorus of whispers sounding off whenever one is on dangerous territories, a strange sequence of numbers, time travel, and a deity named Jacob (to name a few).
What We Thought the Show was About
Lost, created by Jeffery Lieber, J. J. Abrams, and Damon Lindelof, aired on ABC from September 22,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], 2004 to May 23, 2010 – averaging 15 million viewers in the first three seasons. The show included the writing talents of Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and acting talents of Mathew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Harold Perrineau, Daniel Dae Kim, Terry O’Quinn, Naveen Andrews, Henry Ian Cusick, Michael Emerson, Ken Leung, Emilie de Ravin, Elizabeth Mitchell, Jeff Fahey and Jeremy Davies.
The theme of redemption and rebirth sees a few chara
Each season, the show introduces a new element to the story that elevates it from a show about island cast-aways into a “what the hell is going on here!” Perhaps it was the first appearance of the monster (audibly in the pilot and visually in the season 1 finale) that set the tone for the entire show that finally tipped everyone about the supernatural nature of the Island.
A plane crashes on a remote island. The survivors form a community on the island’s beach while awaiting their rescue and salvation. Each of the survivors has their own sordid past (which is slowly revealed through a series of flashbacks), which paves the road that leads them on the ill-fated flight.
The show provided intricate story telling, contextualizing the viewer with a careful use of flashbacks, flashwords, and flashsideways, with a clever mesh of mythological and scientific elements throughout – but what was the show really about?
Lost was a show that is purely about its characters. The island (although often thought of as a character of its own) and it’s many mysteries only served as a plot device. As a symbol of life and historical discourse, it commences to exploit its characters’ emotional and psychological issues – allowing characters to butt head against one another with their ideological clashes.
The many recurring themes of the show include faith vs. science, where there is enough evidence provided through the story for the characters (as well as the viewers) to attribute the island’s mysterious happenings to one or the other, depending on their own personal inclinations. There is also fate vs. free will, questioning whether there is an unwritten script that dictates life or whether each person is responsible for paving their own path through a series of choices and decisions they have made.

What Lost was Really About
For other viewers still not convinced, their minds may have changed with the introduction to the dharma initiative and their mysterious hatches in season 2; the reveal of the nature and location of the “others” camp in season 3, along with a personal look at some of their personnel; the odd behavior of the cast-aways in the flashforwards scenes of season 4; the concept of time travel and moving islands in season 5; or the emergence of Jacob and his nemesis (not to mention the possibility of an alternative universal in what was named “flashsideways” scenes) in season 6.
