Intention
PART 1 - ACROSS THE SEA (v3):
Original Runtime: 171 minutes
New Runtime: 128 minutes
Time Cut: 43 minutes
This one is a combination of the episodes above with no âflash-sidewaysâ. Also, flashbacks tell the details of Jacob and the MiBâs past. A few other trims were made here and there, but the story mostly remains in tact for this part. Part 2 will have lots more cuts and re-arranging.
- Added the scene from the Season 5 finale to the beginning with âFlockeâ killing Jacob. The end of this scene then goes to a flashback of their mother arriving on the Island and giving birth to the twins. Then, to the LOST logo.
- After the logo, we get a quick recap of the âLostiesâ dropping the bomb in the construction site, then we see what happened to them.
- NO FLASH-SIDEWAYS!
- Using the episode, âAcross the Sea,â flashbacks are inserted throughout this edit explaining Jacob and MiBâs past. The final scene of this part is Jacob laying his mother and brother to rest in the caves, thus explaining the two bodies in the caves with the stones.
- Cut a scene of Jack and Kate sharing a moment before she goes to look for Sawyer. Mostly for pacing.
- Cut Hurley and Miles over Sayidâs body saying goodbye.
- Re-arranged some of the scenes so that the stuff with Ben and âFlockeâ on the beach is spread out in this part. Rearranging some scenes also required the removal of some dialogue.
- Cut out all of the spots where it went to black on the commercial breaks.
- Added âA Fan Edit by DriggyDriggsâ (my nick name) before the episode starts.
- Added some credits where necessary due to cutting out the flash-sideways.
The following has been fixed for version 2:
- Added titles before the bomb recap, âThirty Years Agoâ.
- Created a new, slightly longer recap of the survivors dropping the nuclear bomb using footage from the Season 5 finale, âThe Incident.â
- Added Guest Star credits for the actors from âAcross the Seaâ and removed the Guest Stars that do not appear since the âflash-sidewaysâ was removed.
- Added writer and director credits for âAcross the Seaâ and âWhat Kate Does.â
- Increased the size of the text in the Scene Selection menu for the DVD.
The following has been fixed for version 3:
- Removed episode opening for "What Kate Does" of The Interpreter running through the halls.
- Added FanEdit.org animated logo to the end.
PART 2 - THE RECRUIT (v2):
Original Runtime: 225 minutes
New Runtime: 134 minutes
Time Cut: 91 minutes
This one is a combination of the episodes âThe Substitute,â âLighthouse,â âSundown,â âDr. Linus,â âAb Aeterno,â and a few minutes of âReconâ with no âflash-sideways,â and a bunch of other silly or annoying things cut out. Also, flashbacks tell the details of Richardâs past.
- Created a âPreviously on Lostâ segment.
- Episode opens with Richardâs 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 doesnât seem Sawyer-centric for so long, since the events are happening at the same time anyway.
- Cut Sawyerâs one-liner about putting pants on.
- Cut Hurley and Jack finding Shannonâs 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 fatherâs empty coffin.
- Cut Jacobâs 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 Jackâs line after kicking open the door to the lighthouse.
- Completely cut all of the scenes where Claire interrogates Justin (the âotherâ). 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 âJustin the Otherâ out of all the shots.
- Also cut Claire talking to Jin about the others having Aaron and how she knows because âfirst her father told her, then her friend told her.â Now we donât 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, âThis is my friendâ since I cut out there earlier line. Now she just says, âThatâs not John.â
- 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, âNow whatâd ya go and do that for?â 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 doesnât fit with the next scene due to cutting the âflash-sideways.â
- Cut Lapidusâ one-liner, âYou donât make friends easy, do ya?â
- Cut Jacob telling Richard, âWe need to talk.â 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, âGet up.â
- Cut some dialogue from the end of the campfire scene that originally set up for the âAb Aeternoâ 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 donât get back til well into the next part. The operator saying, âSir, there are people on the beachâ 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 âflash-sidewaysâ scenes.
The following has been fixed for version 2:
- Cut scene of Sawyer pulling the gun on Flocke. Seems like Sawyer would be too smart for that.
- Cut Hurley and Miles playing tic-tac-toe.
- Cut episode opening for Dr. Linus of Ben running through the woods alone.
- Cut everything of Alana's group chatting on the beach when they get back there. Too much redundant exposition.
- Cut Hurley dreaming about cheese curds.
- Cut Sawyer preparing the tea for Jin and burning himself.
- Cut Alana's flashbacks completely and reedited the campfire scene so Richard doesn't suggest they are all dead and in hell.
- Split up one of Richard's flashbacks so it wasn't so long.
- Added FanEdit.org animated logo to the end.
PART 3 - The Candidate (v2)
Original Runtime: 258 minutes
New Runtime: 126 minutes
Time Cut: 132 minutes
This one is a combination of the episodes âRecon,â âThe Package,â a little bit of âHappily Ever After,â âEverybody Loves Hugo,â âThe Last Recruit,â and âThe Candidateâ with no âflash-sideways,â and a bunch of other silly or annoying things cut out. Since there are no more flashbacks to work with, I chose to tell this story in kind of a non-linear fashion, with the opening scene after the recap being something exciting that happens later on (Like MI:3), and then we go back three days to the events leading up to it. So, here we go:
- âPreviously on LOSTâ¦â
- Added âFanEdit.org Presentsâ and âA Fan Edit By DriggyDriggsâ to after the recap.
-Opening scene is a slightly edited version of the scene at the end of âThe Last Recruitâ where some are captured by Widmore and Locke and Jack are bombed.
- Then, inserted a title, âThree Days Ago,â followed by Sawyer and the Man in Blackâs group walking through the woods in âRecon,â where he pulls Sawyer aside and asks him to do some recon on Hydra Island. It plays straight from here, with other titles along the way, âTwo Days Ago,â âYesterday,â and âThis Morning.â
- Blended some scenes of the beach group from âThe Packageâ with âReconâ in order for the episode to flow better.
- NO âFLASH-SIDEWAYS!â
- Cut Sawyer finding the dress Kate wore in Season 3 when they were locked in the cages. Heâs moved on from Kate, thereâs no need for this.
- Cut scene of Flocke telling Kate about his crazy mother and comparing her to Claire.
- Cut Widmoreâs people watching the camp through night vision goggles. Makes it much more surprising when they all get tranq-darted.
- Cut a scene of Flocke talking to Jin about the names on the cave wall with Claire listening in.
- Cut out the entire subplot (several scenes) about Sun forgetting English after she bumps her head. I wish I could have cut her bumping her head entirely, but it just didnât work out, because she suddenly has a giant bruise on her head. Now she just has a slight concussion. This part of the editing was pretty challenging at times. The one drawback is that Sun is pretty quiet for a while, but thatâs not so bad, as Iâd rather her have nothing to do at all than what we got on TV.
- Cut out Alana questioning Ben about Sunâs bump to the head.
- Cut Claire asking Flocke about the names in the cave and asking him if he really needs her. Mostly for flow, and the scene just isnât necessary.
- Cut Jack telling Richard that he promised Sun heâd get her off the island, since I cut that scene too.
- Cut out what Desmond sees in his flash from âHappily Ever After.â Now, he gets blasted, and they come in and find him lying on the floor asking how long he was out. We donât find out what he saw until part 4.
- Cut Hurley talking to Libby at her grave and Alana interrupting him.
- Cut Miles talking to Hurley about dead people yelling at him. Since Miles doesnât go with them, it doesnât matter. We already know Hurley talks to the dead.
- Cut the scene of Flocke asking Desmond how long he was down in the hatch and them seeing Kenton Duty (young Jacob). Mostly for pacing, but also because for a reason unknown, Kentonâs hair is brown instead of blond in this scene.
- Cut out the âexplanationâ for the whispers. Now, Michael just helps Hurley find Flockeâs camp, he doesnât explain ghosts to Hurley.
- Cut Sawyer saying âThere she blows!â When he finds the sail boat. Mainly because right before that, since I removed the flash-sideways, Desmond asks Sayid what he would tell Nadya if she asked what he did to get her back. Before I cut this, it had me laughing for 10 minutes. LOL
- Added the beginning scene from âWhat They Died Forâ of Jack sewing up Kateâs gunshot wound. This is the final scene.
- Added some music here and there, and cut a few other lines of dialogue.
- Added credits for guest stars, writers, and directors for all episodes.
- Removed all the spots where it goes to black for the commercials.
The following has been fixed for version 2:
- Removed Kenton Duty's name from the opening credits, since I had deleted his scene before and I forgot to remove it in version 1.
- Added FanEdit.org animated logo to the end.
PART 4 - THE FAILSAFE (v2):
Original Runtime: 203 minutes
New Runtime: 117 minutes
Time Cut: 86 minutes
In the final part of this Season 6 fan-edit, Desmondâs purpose for returning to the Island is revealed, as Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer must find him to help them stop the Man in Black. One of them will become the Islandâs new protector in place of Jacob.
*********MAJOR SPOILERS************
- âPreviously on LOSTâ¦â This recap is a little longer than the others, being the finale.
- Added âFanEdit.org Presentsâ and âA Fan Edit By DriggyDriggsâ after the recap.
- Opening scene is Jack, Kate, Hurley, and Sawyer standing on the beach looking over the water. This made a perfect opening. They say they need to go find Desmond, then we flashback to a few nights earlier and see Desmond get blasted with electromagnetism by Widmoreâs people. Throughout this part, we reveal through flashbacks what happened to him. The last flashback is right as he is being lowered into the cave. In my edit, he actually went to an alternate universe.
- Cut Ben, Richard, and Miles walking through the woods and chit-chatting.
- Cut the next scene of Miles walking over the spot where Alex died.
- Cut them walking into Benâs house and chit-chatting some more.
- Several small cuts were made throughout to improve the pacing of the on-Island events leading up to the stand off between Jack and Flocke.
- Cut all shots of Desmond being conscious after he âpulls the plug.â In my edit, when he is exposed to the light, his consciousness actually goes back to the alternate universe.
- Completely changed the ending. Since there is no more afterlife ending, I had to completely rework Jackâs death. Now, as he is dying, his life on the Island flashes before his eyes.
- I chose not to go with the purist ending of Jack closing his eye, and thatâs it. That just wonât work with my ending. Instead, once Jack closes his eyes, it fades to white, then we get a nice LOST style WTF ending. Youâll see what I mean.
- Keep watching through the credits for a bonus scene. I added a portion of the âNew Man in Chargeâ special feature. I chose not to include Ben shutting down the Dharma station. Now, after the credits, he goes to see Walt in the main timeline.
- Added some music and sound fx to quite a few places.
- Added credits for guest stars, writers, and directors for all episodes.
- Removed all the spots where it goes to black for the commercials.
The following has been fixed for version 2:
- (DVD ONLY) Redid my portion of the audio commentary track so that when I am not speaking, the audio for the edit is turned up.

Intention
This miniseries is meant to be watched after the first five seasons of LOST. I wanted to give LOST fans like myself a better ending to the show.
Edit Details
This is the final version of this edit.
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 âflash-sidewaysâ world was a red-herring. We werenât 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 donât know about you, but I really donât care what happens to the characters when they die. Well, with this version, you wonât 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.
