LOST Explained - The Theory of Everything: Part Four (DHARMA, Desmond, Jughead, Loopholes & Numbers)

#LOSTExplained #LOST #LOSTtvshow #WeHaveToGoBack

This channel's definitive explanation of the mysteries and mythology from the seminal TV series LOST (2004). Part Four covers the science (and pseudo-science) of the series, featuring a complete timeline on the entire history of The DHARMA Initiative including Alvar Hanso, The Valenzetti Equation, the DHARMA stations, the truce, "The Incident" and the purge. Plus, a dissection of how and why The Island moves; an exploration of the time travel events and their impact upon the mythology of the show; case studies on Desmond Hume and Eloise Hawking; unpicking the Man in Black's "loophole" and how it worked; and a full explanation of what The Numbers mean and why they matter.

...were gonna need to watch that again.

I know the size of your audience should be much bigger for the amount of effort you put into these! But thank you for making it for your growing audience and still being so dedicated!

It took me several watches of Lost to realize the significance of the iconic "Make Your Own Kind of Music" song in Desmond's introduction. Desmond plays the song because he desperately wants control over his destiny but has to learn over the course of the show that he is not.

anyone else out there wishing they had a bud to rewatch this series with? :(

Radzinsky is such a brilliant character. Because you see the early stations and your like " Press A button every 108mins? Self distruct command behind a chess game? Who thought that was a good idea." And then you meet the guy realize how crazy but creative he is and your like "Okay... That tracks"

[jackcaffrey]

For me, it's a testament to the legacy of this show and your analysis of its tapestry that I can watch 2 and a half hours without a break. It took me 4 sittings in 3 days just to get through any man quantumania😂 I don't think we appreciated how good we had it back in the early-mid 2000s. Lost absolutely slaps most of today's corporate made garbage!

Everyone who has ever complained that "Lost" was a big disappointment needs to watch your videos. It really helps one to understand what a well crafted series "Lost" was.

Just finished the show with my girlfriend (my 6th time watching it, her 1st time watching it).. She wanted to learn more about the show so here we are binging your videos! Thank you so much

[jjbjjb]

I wish lost would come back either a series on the dharma initiative or the egyptian era would be amazing to see

[Jacob]

I've been looking forward to this part. Dharma is one of my favorite aspects of the show. Their stations and astethic, their weird obsession with Buddhism/Spiritualism mixed with science.

[JHallenbeck]

Dude, that animatic of how the wheel actually works is genius! It has helped me understand the physics of what's going on behind the wall. Something I've always tried to work out in my own head. And the explanation is so simple and logical. Can't believe I've never been able to see that before. This video is shaping up to be your best yet! (just paused it to post this before I forget lol).

[TJMalana]

I’m so amazed by how much thought and insight you bring to these Lost videos. This past week I had to write a paper for class about fandoms and how fandom communities affected pop culture. I reference Lost as a reference because despite the show ending it’s still finding an audience. I especially referenced your “Lost Explained” series because your videos are actively expanding the community and attracting new viewers to the show that have never watched it before. Thank you so much for these videos.

I just found the channel days ago and binged the new series. Surely there is great personal meaning meant for me in the timing of this upload. It's like the light just went on in the hatch. I'm loving the focus on how the physics of everything operates and the emphasis on textual basis for all your suppositions.

[SARDYNA]

Watching your videos reminds me of the anxiety that I had while watching LOST for the first time. That some day this show is going to end. And I really didn't want this to happen.

[lordspuddington]

Yet again, amazing work my friend! This shall be saved in my watch later list for many a year to come! Not that im not watching now, i just plan on rewatching it over and over 😂

[theanthropocenegardener]

Just wanted to express my great appreciation for you continuing to do the work and make these great videos.

[sithari]

Of all the ironies based on the time travel causal loops, I like the irony of Ben becoming "evil" as a child, or losing his innocence being a direct result of Jack refusing to save him. Which leads to so much of his own and many others' suffering in the future. But in particular it's the cause for the deepest betrayal by Kate in his eyes, her having sex with Sawyer, then her begging Jack to save Ben's life to save Sawyer. That betrayal gutted him.

[BrunoPortella]

I just finished the entire series with my significant other. She watched for the first time and now we're watching your videos to find out more about it. We love it. And we thank you for all the effort you put into it.

[Scribe]

YOUR THE GREATEST FOR SCRATCHING THIS ITCH

[Silas-lcop]
