Favorite "Lost" moments

[Raoul the Red Shirt]

What are some of your "best-of" moments or quotes from "Lost" over the four and a half seasons?

I'd include:

-Smokey's take-down of the pilot
-Locke taking Boone on that drug trip
-Hurley coming to the rescue of Sayid and the rest
-Locke's orange-peel smile
-Sawyer's losing at ping-pong
-The Lostaways building a golf course.

"We're not going to Guam are we?"

"Guys, where are we?"

"We're the good guys Michael."

"Dude." (In various inflections)

 

[DeafPoet]

Just a few of many:

"You guys got any milk?"

"I love you, Penny!"

"You wanna go to hell?!?!" *strangle*

 

[Alidar Jarok]

The Charlie/Clare peanut butter scene in the first season was a nice touching moment

Also, when Hurly's listening to his headphones as a sort of closing scene montage of characters. Then the battery just suddenly dies, we're left with no music, and Hurly just says "Ah crap." Cut to LOST.

Of course there are way, way, way too many to count - Make Your Own Kind of Music and Island Go Poof are the two that immediately come to mind.

How about that quiet little scene with Hurley and Sayid sitting on the beach with a radio and unexpectedly picking up Big Band music from the 40s. Sayid: I wonder where that's coming from. Hurley: Or when. Ha ha. Our first clue of things to come, but it just seemed like a throwaway scene at the time.

For sheer WTF-ness, Ben saving and then murdering Locke is right up there.

For randomness: both glimpses of the Four Toed Statue.

For creep factor: Smokey dragging the French guy to his doom and leaving his arm behind. Then the guy starts calling for help...his buddies obviously never saw a horror movie before.

Also for creep factor: Saywer and Kate handing young Ben over to Richard. Brrr.

For sheer fun: Hurley & the gang getting the Dharma-bus running on the Road to Shambhala.

Whew that is a question with an endless answer. Every single appearance of Cerebus. The opening of S2. The first Orientation video. Every second of the S2 finale ending with the key turning and Penny finding the Island. Locke meeting Jacob and Ben shooting him. Des reuniting with Penny in "The Constant". The opening scene of S5.

 

[Ben Sisko3]

For comedy: "I'll see you guys at dinner!"

For drama: Rose and Locke's moment together on the beach, and her final flashback in "S.O.S." Best moment in the entire series, in my opinion.

 

[WillsBabe]

Kate and Sawyer making out in the polar bear cages. Penny's boat turning up. The opening moment of the first episode of a man (Jack) lying in the middle of the jungle in a shirt and tie. The hatch opening and the light going up into the sky.

 

[The Evil Dead]

Sawyer tells Jack about a doctor named Christian he met in Sydney
The Tribes Merge from "The Other 48 Days"
The Swan Implodes
Desmond calls his Constant
"She's not my daughter, she means nothing to me so if you're going to shoot her go ahead and do it-"
The Freighter Explodes/The Island Moves.

And my all time favorite - "We have to go back!"

 

[Starbreaker]

My favorite scene is from Live Together Die Alone. Desmond is about to kill himself when he hears Locke banging on the hatch and he reads the note from Penny, and then the sky turns purple. That was an emotional rollercoaster.

In "Greatest Hits" when Charlie recalls the first time he met Claire. I cried, I'm not going to lie.

Sayid asking Charlie "Have you forgotten"

There are way too many.

 

[Gertch]

Reading through these is playing the show in my head again.

Normally I'm not into romantic situations in my shows but I have to agree that the Penny/Desmond and Rose/Bernard reunions were well done. Beautiful and not overdone.

 

[auntiehill]

Mr. Ecko and the Smoke Monster, both when he first stares it down and when he challenges it. "I have not sinned." Chilling stuff.

When Locke first throws the knife right next to Sawyer.

Locke banging on the hatch, and the light suddenly comes on.

Sayid and Ben--"How many shovels of sand did it take to bury your wife?"

Hurley saving the day with the Dharma bus and Sayid snapping the guard's neck with his feet.

Keamy and Ben square off over his daughter, and the look on Ben's face when he loses.

I love Rose and Bernard; they're the most believable couple on the show. The proposal scene always makes me tear up. I also really like Desmond and Penny. I loved the call in "The Constant."

 

[sidious618]

The single best moment is the reveal of Locke being in a wheelchair.

Closely following that is Ben shooting Locke as that was a total shocker.

The smoke monster dragging Locke through the jungle and almost dragging him down the Cerberus vent. It's especially haunting in hindsight considering we have to wonder just what it wanted with John down there.

Heck, pretty much any moment with the smoke monster is a classic.

Locke screaming "What do you want me to do?!"

"I love you, Penny."

Locke coming through the bushes after Ben says that what is about to come out of that forest is something I can't control.

Spotting the foot and Sayid's remarks about it.

Locke's man of faith and man of science comments.

And finally, Locke's scene with Walt when he shows him how to play the game on the beach.

 

[PKTrekGirl]

Wow. I have tons.

* That whole scene with Sawyer, Jin and Hurley after they found the old Dharma van and the flat beer. In particular, Sawyer 'teaching' Jin English - the only phrases a woman wants to hear. That was classic. And once they got it started, riding around on that field on the side of the hill.

* When Desmond finally talks to Penny from the freighter.

* When Sayid tortures Sawyer in season 1, and Sawyer says "I bet you've never tortured anyone in your life" and Sayid says "Unfortunately for us both....you're wrong." Naveen Andrews just nailed that scene, and it was then that I realized what a bad-ass Sayid was really capable of being! The Chuck Norris of LOST.

* When Desmond, in total despair, realizes there is someone else on the island up at the top of the hatch and he's not alone anymore.

* Upon the Oceanic 6's arrival back in civilization, Sayid's reunion with Nadia.

* Building the golf course...and Jack's realization that he's been killing himself trying to make everyone feel safe, and Hurley builds a golf course and everyone feels safe.

* Hurley driving the Dharma bus into the beach camp just in time to save them...and Sayid breaking that guy's neck with his legs.

*Desmond visiting Daniel Faraday at Oxford.

*Sayid's conversation with Jack, telling him that Michael had been compromised. Not much get's past him!

* Hurley's discussion with Miles about linear/non-linear time while he's waiting for himself to disappear upon Ben's probable death.

*Locke's multiple meet-ups with Richard during the time shifts.

*For that matter, pretty much any time you see one of the Losties who was not at one time one of The Others meet up with Richard. Those are ALWAYS interesting scenes. For me, Richard is one of the biggest mysteries on that Island.

* The conversation between Hurley and Sawyer about how since Jack and Locke were both gone, Sawyer was the 'leader'. Not so much for that conversation per se...but for the change Sawyer went through from that moment on. I especially liked when Sawyer stood up to Locke and wouldn't let him take Hurley to look for Jacob's house until Hurley agreed to go willingly. I believe the change in Sawyer started with that one simple conversation.

*Eko staring down the smoke monster. I really liked Eko....too bad he wasn't around longer.

*Most horrifying moments:
- Michael killing Ana Lucia and Libby
-when they unknowingly burried Nikki and Paulo alive, thinking they were dead
-Charlie's death and his final message to Desmond as he was drowning

Saywer gets a fish biscuit!

Most bad-ass fight scene ever!

 

[Mistral]

The light from the hatch. That one image was seared into my brain.

"We're not going to Guam, are we?" Sorry, but I rewound that like 4 times and laughed myself sick. What a perfect delivery!

The phone call at the end of The Constant. This show rarely makes me tear up but that did it.

The chemistry teacher going BOOM! For pure shock value, that was the first real mind-blower that I can recall.

The Others grabbing Walt. While bigger mysteries were yet to come, that bugged me to no end through the whole hiatus.

The Orientation film. Talk about throwing a dog 1/2 of a bone...

There are so many others but these were the first things that came to mind when I saw this thread, so I guess they stand out the most for me.

That should be our new forum motto!
