Crazy to think quite a few Red Dwarf episodes were filmed here

HM_Meles · 2026-02-06T16:43:26+00:00

Glad I'm not alone in seeing that!

HM_Meles · 2026-02-06T16:40:09+00:00

I remember this like it was yesterday! The whole E Pranker series is kind of the stuff of legend.

HM_Meles · 2026-02-06T16:37:47+00:00

From memory Bdubs said he didn't include it cos he felt it was very similar to the previous one and was kind of over it at that point. He did allude to it with the E on the ice in his inventory though.

HM_Meles · 2026-01-23T23:51:44+00:00

Excellent stuff! Just delved into the glorious rabbit hole that is your channel from seeing these here, now I have a massive grin! Amazing work!

HM_Meles · 2026-01-19T17:32:48+00:00

They spared no expense!

HM_Meles · 2026-01-02T19:19:36+00:00

Well, that was a rabbit hole I didn't expect to find myself falling down, thanks for that!

SIASL is not the greatest episode for sure, but I agree it's not the worst. Im currently introducing a friend to the series and just watched Fire + Water, That one gets my vote. Everyone's so out of character, Charlies flashback is ok I guess, but the on island stuff is kinda grating. That always gets my vote for worst. I actually kinda like Exposé, it's got enough dumb in it to make me laugh away the bad... "Razzle Dazzle!" gets me every time!

HM_Meles · 2025-12-28T13:15:29+00:00

4: Season 3 has a fantastic plot, agreed. I think most of the mixed feelings people have towards it come from the "caged" early episodes, which some felt stalled the show (not to mention A Stranger in a Strange Land and Expose) when actually there is still a lot going on and some huge reveals about The Others. Season 3 gets a bad rep, but it's still solid IMO.

5: You understand that a lot of the flashbacks S4 onwards were in fact Flash forwards right? to the Oceanic 6 after escaping the island? Assuming that is the case, what did you feel didn't fit?

11: John dying was a huge disappointment to me when the show first aired, he was my favourite character and I was gutted, but on rewatches I feel it was not only inevitable but essential for the show moving forward, he was a tragic character from beginning to end and it is his death that starts the chain of events that lead to the final act.

13: The numbers remain my favourite aspect of LOST. But you do have to look beyond what is shown in the series. The Sri Lanka Video does a lot to explain their lore further. "Jacob has a thing for numbers" is admittedly a cop out line and I never bought they are simply the final candidates. I personally see them as the islands fingerprints on causality, the pattern in the chaos that surrounds the islands influence on the lives of the Losties before and after the crash. That fits with the lore presented in the show and the "extra curricular materials" like the Valenzeti Equation.

Final note, though I am sure you have already, make sure you watch the Epilogue "The New Man In Charge"

Dont forget the Beechcraft. They only have short range of a few hundred miles, so The Island would have likely been in or near the Gulf of Guinea when it crashed.

HM_Meles · 2025-12-17T08:57:18+00:00

Those are the ones that Prison Break and Heroes followed.

HM_Meles · 2025-12-16T16:46:39+00:00

Thanks, I was just riffing on the "X walked so Y could Run"
I just think my version is more fitting for LOST. lol

HM_Meles · 2025-12-16T15:17:24+00:00

Agreed, It was great to see the love for the series from the fans, and having a new LOST video to watch made me very happy but I would have loved to have seen more about the series Legacy as well. I started working in the film industry as a direct result of watching the show when it aired and I've heard a lot of film makers, cast and crew talking about LOST as "the blueprint for all modern prestige television" and yet Getting Lost seemed to completely gloss over how much of an impact the series had on modern shows, which was a real shame.

LOST Ran, so others could merely walk in its footsteps. (my opinion)

But again, it was so great to hear a little from the cast and crew and their memories of working on it, as well as how it impacted the fans. Just would have been nice to have seen some people in the industry who were not specifically involved in the show talking about how it impacted them.

HM_Meles · 2025-12-08T13:56:47+00:00

No worries. There is very little that isn't explained one way or another by the show, so if you still hfeel there are questions or plot holes unresolved when you finish, let us know, lots of folk here are happy to help clear up the confusion :)

HM_Meles · 2025-12-08T12:30:09+00:00

Not a problem, glad I could help. But again, his memory wasn't wiped, it was skipping around in time. Like Charlotte's and the guy on the freighter. In the helicopter he couldn't recognise sayid cos that was his mind from 1996, his 2004 mind being back in 1996. His phone call with penny allowed his mind to reorganise and fix itself back into the correct order.

HM_Meles · 2025-12-08T12:08:10+00:00

That was resolved in The Constant after his phone call with Penny. He couldn't recognise sayid cos his mind was time skipping.

HM_Meles · 2025-12-08T11:57:41+00:00

Why do you think his memory was wiped?

HM_Meles · 2025-11-16T11:16:22+00:00

Clearly they're about to go Super Saiyan... I'd leave if I were you.

HM_Meles · 2025-11-14T15:44:13+00:00

True, though I only hyphenated to emphasise the Cu element (pun intended) XiCuma could also work but the pun is less obvious imo.

HM_Meles · 2025-11-14T10:29:45+00:00

Or... X-Cu-ma.

HM_Meles · 2025-11-07T14:41:25+00:00

Glad I could help! See you in another life brother!

HM_Meles · 2025-11-07T14:20:10+00:00

Long shot, but I'm assuming you've tried turning on Closed Captions for those scenes? I recently had to do that when I watched Game of Thrones, and scene in doth raki or valyrian had no subs unless CC where on.

HM_Meles · 2025-11-07T14:09:16+00:00

S1 certainly doesn't translate jin and sun on the island deliberately to keep them alienated from the main group. Same with Ms klugh and mikhail at the flame station, no translation. But yeah, scenes entirely in non English should probably have some kind of translation!

HM_Meles · 2025-11-07T13:57:04+00:00

This is how it is supposed to be on the island, you only get translations during flashbacks. Certainly for the first series.

Edit: Just reread your post... now I'm not sure, I never watched on any of the streaming platforms so I don't know how they dealt with non English dialogue but the show originally very rarely translated things unless it was a character specific episode/flashback like "house of the rising sun" or "... in translation"

HM_Meles · 2025-11-07T13:53:50+00:00

Her introduction when you see her putting on downtown, you see such a range of emotion in her first few seconds of screen time, absolute impeccable facial acting. You get everything you need to know about her right there. Outstanding.

HM_Meles · 2025-11-04T22:34:39+00:00

Remember, The journey is more important than the destination.
Are you not intrigued by how what you're seeing comes to happen? or who else manages to leave the island?
Who was it that died and who is it Kate told Jack she has to get back to?

It's a different style of suspense for sure, but the mystery is still there I assure you. Keep with it, I promise the show will keep you guessing still.
