After finishing the first 5 seasons, I watched parts of this edit, and I’ve gotta say DragoonClawNZ has done an excellent job at re-ordering this massive series, very impressive stuff. What I saw was seamlessly edited (audio & video). The parts where multiple events take place side-by-side were particularly impressive. I also have to give credit to Mike Maloney, who first made this edit in 2010.

The only thing I didn’t like was that the time travel parts were also linearised. I know some people would prefer that, so that everything is in strict chronological order, but I personally felt that they felt out of place, and that since the show established that the time travel parts were the “present” of the time travelling characters, I felt that those segments should’ve played out in the “present” timeline rather than past. But anyway, that’s just my personal view on that.

I would recommend this edit to someone who has already watched Lost, but not if you haven’t, as the time travelling parts will confuse you. This edit also offers the opportunity to watch Lost WITHOUT flashbacks if you so wish, as now entire episodes take place solely on the island (once you’ve gotten through the flashbacks episodes, which I skimmed). I think that when I eventually re-watch Lost, I’ll just watch the parts of this edit set from 2004 onwards. At least for the first 3 seasons, which had great island plotlines.
