EDIT DETAILS:
Like most avid LOST fans, I was disappointed by Season 6, not only because they wasted so much time throughout the season, but because the entire “flash-sideways” world was a red-herring. We weren’t flashing into an alternate universe at all, but rather a time many years in the future where all the characters were dead and trying to find each other in an elaborate purgatory they had created for themselves.
This show had always been about 2 things: the people and the island. I don’t know about you, but I really don’t care what happens to the characters when they die. Well, with this version, you won’t have to either. Inspired by the Prison Break trilogy on the main site, this version completely removes the afterlife flashes from season six and turns it into a miniseries divided into 2-hour parts.
CUTLIST:
- Created a “Previously on Lost” segment.
- Episode opens with Richard’s first flashback of riding to his house and talking with his sick wife, then flashes to the present with Smokey/Flocke flying across the island. He stops and cuts Richard down from the tree to talk, then to the LOST logo.
- NO FLASH-SIDEWAYS!
- Rearranged some scenes from episodes 4 and 5 so that it doesn’t seem Sawyer-centric for so long, since the events are happening at the same time anyway.
- Cut Sawyer’s one-liner about putting pants on.
- Cut Hurley and Jack finding Shannon’s inhaler and the caves where they lived before where Hurley speculates about the two bodies, since we already got that answer in part 1. Also, cut Jack reminding us about his father’s empty coffin.
- Cut Jacob’s Ladders scene of Sawyer and Locke climbing down the ladders and Sawyer almost falling. Seemed silly since obviously a main character is not going to be killed by falling from a ladder.
- Cut Jack’s line after kicking open the door to the lighthouse.
- Completely cut all of the scenes where Claire interrogates Justin (the “other”). In my edit, he just died when she shot him at the end of the last part, instead of him playing dead. No more axe-murderer Claire!
- I did leave in Claire talking with Jin and stitching up his leg in the hut, but I cropped “Justin the Other” out of all the shots.
- Also cut Claire talking to Jin about the others having Aaron and how she knows because “first her father told her, then her friend told her.” Now we don’t find out that Flocke promised a reunion with her son until they arrive at the temple. Works much better this way. Also had to cut her saying, “This is my friend” since I cut out there earlier line. Now she just says, “That’s not John.”
- Cut out Richard trying to loosen his chains and encountering a wild boar during one of his flashbacks.
- Cut Kate and Sayid meeting in the jungle and Kate talking to Miles. We already know that she is going back to the temple to ask the others about Claire, so this is all just unnecessary.
- Cut Flocke asking, “Now what’d ya go and do that for?” after Sayid stabs him. Much more tense this way.
- Cut awkward moment with the Ajira group frantically scurrying around after they agree to go to the beach. Weird blocking and the musical cue doesn’t fit with the next scene due to cutting the “flash-sideways.”
- Cut Lapidus’ one-liner, “You don’t make friends easy, do ya?”
- Cut Jacob telling Richard, “We need to talk.” Locke said a similar line to him at the beginning, and Jack says it again later on. Having Jacob say it just makes it excessive. Now he just says, “Get up.”
- Cut some dialogue from the end of the campfire scene that originally set up for the “Ab Aeterno” episode.
- Moved the Whidmore submarine reveal to the end of this part to set up for Part 3.
- Cut shot of periscope viewing the people on the beach. I had to do this since it is a shot of the reunion scene from the end of Dr. Linus and it clearly shows Richard and Hurley on the beach, even though they don’t get back til well into the next part. The operator saying, “Sir, there are people on the beach” should be a enough.
- Removed all the spots where it goes to black for the commercials.
- Added credits at the beginning due to the removal of the “flash-sideways” scenes.

DriggyDriggs’ Lost Mini-Series Part 2 is just as good as his first part. All the editing is nicely done and the story flows well. The biggest improvement is that Claire is no longer completely wacko. She’s still pretty crazy, but it’s toned down to the absolute minimum.
Season 6 of LOST isn’t perfect, but it’s vastly improved now.
9/10.
