LOST Was Insane During The Writers' Strike | Billiam

Having a likeable character be literal Iraqi torturer in early 2000s was very ballsy.

Kinda crazy to see Billiam explain the streaming situation for Lost as 2 months after this video came out, Disney signed a deal with Netflix to license a number of shows, including Lost, to Netflix on a non-exclusive basis (meaning that it’ll be on Netflix, Hulu/Disney+, and Freevee at the same time).

I’ve never seen lost but I love watching 3 hour videos on random things and learning about something I’ll never use in life

10/10 would love to experience the shark scene again i lost it so bad when you did the punch. i love your lost series so much

The arc of dvd, dvr, streaming goes from lost - breaking bad - community

I love lost . The first 3 -4 seasons are amazing. One of my favorites shows . The later seasons sucked . But game of thrones went to shit too. And people still remember it fondly

I have loved this trip down memory lane.
Here is a little back story to what immediately comes to my mind, when I think of Lost:
We used to spend 4th of July at my grandmother-in-law's lake house in rural North Texas. In 2006, I had come out of the water, was wrapped in towel and just wading in the ankle-deep water while our kids splashed around in the shallows of the swimming area. This was the beach area of this lake and it was quite crowded on holiday weekends. Just a few yards away, I hear this woman yelling at her kids to come out of the water and they wanted her to come in and swim with her. There was apparently some BINGO happening at event center. As she turned to go back up the beach, she issued this phrase, above the din of sound on the beach (and you have to imagine it with a thick Texas accent) "We have to go back! I already bought bingo cards!" 
It tickled my funny bone to the point that I shared it with my family and my coworkers, the next week. "I already bought bingo cards" became part of our very local phrasology ("I have to be in that meeting. I already bought bingo cards." "We have to mow the lawn. I already bought bingo cards." -- you get the idea.)
Now, flash forward to the following May. We were all watching LOST and it was THE water-cooler talk at the office. When Jack said, "We have to go back, Kate!" I turned to my wife and said, "We have to go back, Kate! I already bought bingo cards."
And when I returned to work the next day, one of my coworkers said that to me. We got a big laugh out of it and that is what I think of anytime LOST comes up in conversation.

I've watched these so often that the other night, I had a nightmare where I was on Lost and after "going against the island" both Locke and Kate cut off my hand. Everything was narrated by and dissected by Billiam like this docuseries.

Literally John lock named after a historical philosopher

Jack like, 100% has an anxiety disorder.

First time watching you, I love you, thanks for this introspective

So crazy hearing you talk about The Constant since that’s the only episode I skipped halfway in 😂

Mr.beast with only scooby doo themed challenges and theyre all obscure knowledge based objectives.

Lost was an incredible show, top tier TV

Desmond was the best character

Funny thing is, I just recently finished watching Lost for the first time. Obviously not as a weekly experience, watching at my own pace. And even I thought the writers were just making shit up as they went.

cant wait to see the netflix last air bender adaptation.

Assault rifles? 🙄. That’s a sub machine gun. Not even a rifle.

I am sad every time you talked about Frank, you didn’t cut to a clip from The Producers where the assistant says “Jack Lapetus”

People leaving angry reviews about this show because it wasn't giving them 100% of every single thing they wanted, I wish the term "touch grass" existed back then.

Fun name fact: jack is often a nickname for john. I bet there’s a reason why those two have those names

wish disney had the guts to show the graphic gay sex scene the show really needed

My most favorite of all TV shows and it wasn’t even a sit com

These videos are brilliant. I hope the final video or a bonus video goes over every answered/unanswered question there is regarding the series to help fill people in on what they either missed or didn't know they didn't need an answer for.

Hope you don’t skip the extended season 6 finale that isn’t on Hulu/Disney Plus(alongside other episodes). Some great scenes that shouldn’t have been cut are cut.

Hold up BRIAN K VAUGHN wrote some Lost episodes???? Ah!!

ok…. il make find w my wuisoddb speall…. buh bye…..

I am writing this in the hopes the algorithm begins to understand that I hate Lost! It totally sucks! It is utter J.J Abrams garbage, which is plot lines of "what if this happens?" with no endings! Why don't idiots wake up to that fact? When I leave the auto play running, Lost vids come up. No shade on the content creator. I like his other content better. I just hate Lost. Pls listen the gods of autoplay!

How does this video not have at least a million views yet?!! That's wild- I watch parts of these vids every night. Once the algorithm gods decide to shine down upon Billiam& Co. us longtime viewers will be here, crackin open a cold one in celebration 🤗

So much for the next video being the last don't mind another few hours of lost I'll never complain about

Even just your recap of it brought me back to the emotions of "The Constant". It really might be the best episode 😭

Penny and Desmonds phone call had me calling my girlfriend at the time. He was one of my favorites on the show.

I'm really happy you talked about the writer's strike in detail. When I started watching Lost I was 9 years old and watching it on Netflix maybe four years after it ended. I've only ever watched Lost on streaming platforms. It's so interesting to know that the creators of Lost knew how tv consumption would change.

i WOULD LIVE FOR AN EPISODE BY EPISODE BREAKDOWN FOR THE ENTIRE SERIES! Thanks for these vids though, they're incredible! Youre so good at this!

"Don't joke about that Jack." 😂😂😂

"Do not be the little spoon with someone you have to kill." 😂😂😂

"She's been... losened." 😂😂😂

How is it that I find out in this video that sayid tortured people for Kate’s stepdad😂

I always thought of Daniel, Charlotte, Miles, and Frank as LOST's Fantastic Four.

Where is part 3

I make an obscene ammoojnt of money on a tv show that i signed up for and tried out for how dare i have to pretend to be nude

This really takes me back to those nights where my family would gather around and watch Lost. We would sit around and theorize on what was going to happen and process what had just happened. Good times
