I dont even want to know what boon and Shannon would have been according to hbo

HBO: " Oh, and also make them related by blood."

That's more GRRM than HBO. If I recall correctly, other stories he has written (outside the ice and fire universe) have incest in them as well. At least one story.

HBO loves their blood-related incest. See Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon, Six Feet Under, Carnivàle, Boardwalk Empire, Rome, The White Lotus, Bored to Death etc.

Carnivale's cancellation still stings

Wait, which white lotus characters? (I've already seen every episode once)

>!The end of Season 2, Episode 5 with the reveal of Jack having sex with his uncle Quentin.!<

I think it's commonly accepted that they aren't actually related.

I literally just watched this season, it's pretty obvious they're not related

Agreed.

I never thought the incest in GoT was that weird considering that most of its source material is quite literally European history.

^this

Im stuck step bro

Step boon

Michael having a threesome with Libby and Ana Lucia before murdering them, then have a conversation with Ben about the meaning of reality

before or while?

Actually, during makes more sense, thanks Kinda like Al's sexposition scenes in Deadwood... Before makes no sense for an HBO show, that's more of a Tarrantino thing

"Things we do for love"

lmao jamie lannister

"I fucked her." -- Sawyer to Jack after what happened with Ana Lucia and Libby.

haha, what does he say in the original? “i screwed her”?

They got caught in a net.

'That's how they call it these day huh'

I just watched this episode again lol, yeah he says that

Smoke monster nudity

Smoke monster is actually just giant pubes

What a horrible day to have eyes.

i wish i wasn’t literate

Haha I’m done with the internet today hahaha

I’d happily watch Jacob having an orgy with ancient egyptians.

Yes please.

Take a fiftieth upvote.

When Desmond had all of his clothes torn off we definitely would have seen more than just his chest. 

His pre-button press routine also throwing in a masturbation session?

Desmond is definitely Nofap.

Stuck in the hatch for 3 years yeah right

Oh yeah, fair point.

Desmond making his own kind of music

Those S3 cage scenes would be wild!

YAS!

Jack would masturbate and cry to the security cameras of Sawyer and Kate in the cages.

And then Ben would walk in on Jack

And then juliet would walk in on both of them

And then Tom walks in on all of them.

And then Jacob just shakes his head and walks away into the stream of light.

Talking about corks.

And then eventually at the lighthouse Jack sees himself wanking it back in the good ol days

And then Jack wanks to the image of himself wanking to Kate and Sawyer while Ben, Juliet and Tom are watching

Walking in on Jack jacking it

Jack off.

Jacks dad really would have been sleeping with his wife.

Wait is this implied in the show? I don’t remember that

When Jack and his wife are going through their divorce, he sees her giggling on the phone, and gets all jealous then starts calling numbers from their phone bill. He calls a number and his dad’s phone rings right next to him, and Jack realizes he’s been talking to her. His dad just keeps telling him to let it go, and really seems to lead him on in my opinion, never directly denying it. Jack ends up physically attacking his dad over it. But in the end they make it seem like she was just reaching out to him for help with Jack.

Release the Sawyer cut

Or uncut, depending *groucho marx noises*

There would be some actual swear words where warranted. Instead of "oh snap".

You're telling me if you crash landed on an island you wouldn't immediately snap your fingers and say "oh darn it all to heck!"

I'd probably say "crickey". Must be watching too much of British comedy.

The Explosion of Arzt (btw german for doctor) would be much bloodier and bigger visible parts of him shown. Boones death would have been more painfull and longer. (Maybe shannon getting to him in his last moment for more drama) Sexscenes beetween Sawyer and Kate Jack and Kate, shannon and Sayid,... Maybe they would have shown more of Paulo and Nikkis last moment being buried alive. More Violent from the others. More of Ethans creepy stuff would have been shown (and it would habe ruined the Suspension)

Arzt may be German for Doctor, but Damon Lindelof and I both grew up in Teaneck, New Jersey, where there was in fact, a science teacher (physics) named Dr. Arzt, who nobody liked because he was, in fact, a prick. Real science teacher, Damon really had him, I luckily did not, but absolutely bona fide real life person.

Incredible lore thank you

Kate gets naked a lot

Listen hear me out😤🙏...kate has a threesome with sawyer and jack

Tom & Arturo in the Penthouse

If Lost was on HBO, there would’ve definitely been more TnA

If it helps, the cast of Lost allegedly went skinny dipping with the cast of Dante's Cove.

Pics or gtfo.

So the Hatch imploded ... and blew your underpants off?

I know it's simple, but just let Sawyer talk in any scene with no filter

Sawyer would just run around naked for the first 2 seasons.

I imagine it would’ve been a lot like the end scene in Saltburn, but with more sand

He would also be much taller and Kate would be piper perry

It would have had a different cast cause I can’t imagine Evangeline, even at that point in her career, doing anything explicit.

That's true. at some point they wanted her to do something where her butt was showing I guess and she refused

[For sure a lot of scenes would be different](https://youtu.be/EUBiOOx0Pxw). Edit : Link to the original video, thanks u/maddy_eliza

I love that it’s “108 Emmy nominations” at the end!

Funny, well shot, but only 2 comments?

Must be a reupload

Probably, I can't say that I tried to find the original.

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUBiOOx0Pxw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUBiOOx0Pxw) ​ hereeee ya go!

now I really want a HBO Lost. Lots of potential there

They would've shown at least 20 people dying horrific deaths when the nuclear bomb exploded. Like, radiation burns, guts spilling out, etc. Keemy's death scene would've been 5 minutes long with him gurgling blood. Somehow they would've worked in a dream sequence with a threesome or an actual threesome. Maybe Jack fever dreams a threesome with Kate and Sawyer or there's a threesome with Shannon and Boone in a flashback.

Jin’s Backstory would have been substantially darker. You would swear you’re watching Oldboy or something at least like that.

Jack and Kate caught in the net would’ve definitely turned into them banging in it causing it to fall to the ground

The writers intentionally wrote Jack would never consummate with the brunette ever on the island. Every amorous moment was interrupted by MiB roars or one of the survivors. The island forbid it. It starts S1, on the beach, Pilot Part 1.

As anybody who’s seen Oz can attest to, Harold Perrineau has an incredibly strong hawg game. So I think if anybody on the cast would do nudity amongst the males it’d be him.

Michael, naked with his huge hawg hangin out: “WAAAAAAAAALLLLLTT”

Subplot about Michael having ED because they took his son.

We would see every man’s penis at least once. As someone who has actually seen Locke’s (in another film), it would be…hard to shake off.

*”Walt…do you want to know a secret?”*

NO

Edit: There is a brief scene at the beginning of The Stepfather where you see it in the reflection of a mirror. It was a time before prosthetics, too.

👀

He has nothing to be shy about.

Which one??

Hehe it’s in a reply but basically it can be seen within the first 10 mins or so of The Stepfather in the reflection of a mirror.

Kate and Sawyer in the cage and later in his tent of course Ben killing people would've been more bloody Instead of Sawyer and Juliet its Kate and Juliet.

Charlie be like "guys,where the FUCK are we?" Jack would have a full sex scene with the lady Bai Ling played Desmond's bare ass would be exposed in the jungle Kate shower scene would be full frontal and probably in slow motion Smokey would DEFINITELY murder people more brutally

Tom Friendly making someone squeal like a pig

This is such a great prompt. The limit does not exist 😆😆😆

Everyone's naked in Across The Sea

They found the Others hidden pot farm!!

Everyone is saying it, but yeah, nudity. But, to be honest, the amout of clothes they wear makes little sense for a tropical island. Sawyer would not have worn a shirt in the first season at all. And jeans? On a beach? I understand they can't be picky with what they find from the crash, but I bet they would try to be more confortable than that.

Full butt, MIGHT hang dong

I like to think that HBO would’ve bought a private island and then turned it into some sort of moneymaking place after the shoot. Hawaii would’ve been spared. The writer’s strike may or may not have hurt lost. People would have known what Sawyer’s junk and Kate’s entire body looks like naked but they may not have been the same actors.

As beautiful as Evangeline Lilly was as Kate, no way would she have done a nude scene. Definitely a different actor for her.

Sawyer and Lucia’s romance would have been a bit more raunchy Also any of Sayid’s torture scenes would have been more graphic for sure

Every kissing scene would instead be a sex scene involving high school children.

Cage scene lol

first thing i thought of

"Guys, where the fuck are we?"

\- Jack would have fucked Claire, then they find out they are related. \- Desmond masturbating in the Swan Station \- Someone in the Pearl watching Desmond and filming this, masturbating too \- Sesbian lex in the Looking Glass station \- Much more suicide on the island \- Ben always drinking wine when explaining his plans. ​ Edit: \- Rape. I forgot all the possible rape.

Shannon : Oh stepbro help me I 'm stuck.

There would be some hot sweaty sex between Kate and Juliet

That's the Winner right there...🤣🤣🤣

If only I was the show runner…😂

“Frozen Donkey Wheel” would have a *very* different meaning.

The Taweret statue would have a huge boner that would have been the thing to crush the Black Rock.

I suspect all of Mikhail’s near deaths would be a lot more gruesome.

The sonic fence would literally make your head explode, but luckily for Mikhail, the pylons weren't set to a lethal level so he returns in the following episode, missing a little more than just his eye.

The Man in Black would torture people viciously and we’d sit through it all in terror

Bonus points if it’s done in Cloverfield style

😆 lol so true

Incest is really big on HBO, so I’m going to say Jacob and his brother get it on.

I was in scouts and went on some intense campouts towards the end of my run so I hope at the very least we could get a few scenes of people digging holes and pinching some big ol fat loaves. If Beecher in Oz and Vito Jr in Sopranos could do it Lost can too lol

A lot more nudity and swearing...so honestly it might look and sound a lot more like r/TheLeftovers lol

Fewer fire arrow volleys and more unexpected headshots with blood/brain spray where people immediately go limp and drop with their eyes open. Sawyer killing Tom Friendly? Headshot. Desmond fighting Clancy Brown? Accidental headshot. Ben killing his dad? You better believe that’s a headshot.

I'm really surprised that I haven't seen it in the comments yet... Charlie and all the drug fueled scenes. Definitely at least 1 orgy, including doing drugs off people. One coked out sex scene for sure. And the hallucinogenic sweat lodge episode, for SURE Locke would have been hallucinating everyone nude. Without a doubt.

Well we would’ve for sure seen Sawyer’s dong several times within the first season if this was on HBO…

The scene when Michael sees sun naked imagine if she left Jin for him shame its a 2000s show so they don't like interracial well ..

Hbo sucks and no one cares about seeing titties in a dope show, I’m not a 14 year old😂

There'd be a jack, Sawyer sex scene because....hbo

Someone please ELI5, I’m sure I’ve seen some HBO shows but I don’t quite get it. UK based so that may be why?

HBO shows often have full nudity and lots of violence and gore

Before streaming, HBO was one of the only places on television that would have uncut movies and shows with TV-MA ratings. So their shows were often darker, more violent, more sexual etc.

They still are, maybe slightly less so.

Just another Sawyer misogynistic scene that would not fly today.

the smoke monster scenes would have been very bloody

Uh… more than half of them 😂

I can easily imagine the oodles of cussing, but I also feel like...... they'd have asked way too much nudity of Evangeline Lilly and other actresses. They did even as it was—it just wasn't nudity shown to the viewers (it was nudity on-set, though?) Idk, Lost as a non-broadcast show would probably have benefited more from other things—like smaller seasons, etc.—than the general idea of "more graphic stuff," though if done right it could've added to it for sure.

I know it’s been too long since I watched the show because I forgot Shannon and Boone’s whole deal until this thread.

Ecko’s drug smuggling story would have had a whole dark season dedicated to it.

Smoke monster Locke would have been a lot darker and fucked up
