THE best scene in lost season 4 thus far

My connection sucks where I'm at right now, but I'm going to guess without looking that it's Penny and Desmond on the phone. If so, I agree wholeheartedly.
 
Don't. Watch. Anything.

Go get caught up. you'll hate yourself if you spoil this show for yourself.
 
That was a lovely scene, easily my fave of the season. But as to the most WTF scene so far, I'd have to see it was Sayid walking in to Find Ben the Vet. That was probably my biggest WTF so far this season, in some ways even more so that the very first time we realised Jack was off the island when he met Kate at the end of last season.
 
Beautifully written and perfect performances....

Damn, sitting here in my office, tearing up. I need a tissue.... Thanks a bunch....

I love the scene up until the part where they start talking over each other and say "I love you" at the same time. That was a little too cheesy for me. But the rest of it is awesome.
 
Great stuff. That may be the best scene so far this season. Although the scene where Jack goes to shoot Locke and John says, "It was never loaded." I thought it was very effective and very sad.
 
If this is the Des/Penny scene, yes that's definitely the best so far this year.

My nom for best written scene: "If anything goes wrong, Desmond Hume is MY constant."
 
Oh man....I'm only on season 1...should I watch this? I don't even know who these two characters are?!

Run away! Run away! :eek:

(Personally that's not my absolute favorite of S4 so far. That prize might go to Locke's Breakfast Treat. :D I guess I'm not the sentimental type...)
 
I love this scene, it helped push The Constant over the top, the episode is definitely one of my favorite hours of television ever. It brought a tear to my usually cold, cold heart.

Another scene I love, probably my second favorite of the season, is the Jack/Hurley confrontation from the end of the season opener.

Hurley: So, what're you really doing here, Jack?
Jack: I was just checking on ya, seeing if everything was okay.
Hurley: Checking to see if I went nuts? If I was gonna tell?
Jack: ...are you?
Hurley: ...You're up.
Jack: No, you win... I uh, gotta run. It was great seeing ya' Hurley.
Hurley: I'm sorry... I'm sorry I went with Locke. I should've stayed with you.
Jack: Water under the bridge, man.
Hurley: I don't think we did the right thing, Jack. I think it wants us to come back.
Jack: Hurley-
Hurley: And it's gonna do everything it can-
Jack: We are NEVER going back!
Hurley: ...never say never, dude.

The music and acting combine to give the scene this really creepy subtext, and has me dying to know just what happens, what choice Jack makes, that weighs so heavily on him in the future. The scene has stuck with me all season.
 
Well, if I was to be picky, Penny does use the "futuristic" 8-digit London number in 1996, several years before the central London area code 0171 became 0207 (but the rest of the number is correct).

Apart from that, it was perfect. I still love this scene.
 
Goddamit I just watched it again and now I'm crying. I hope we get more payoffs like that soon.

Since we're talking about two different timelines - the one in which Des and Dan met at Oxford and the one in which they didn't - you could argue that's not a mistake, and the wrong-number timeline is simply the one that is different from ours. Who knows how many other details might be different besides the things that are germane to Lost?

Also, there's no guarantee that either of those realities are the same one as "ours." Maybe the number is "wrong" in both realities.
 
Another scene that I love--for whatever reason--is the scene where Sayid is playing golf. It looks so nice and peaceful, and for a moment, you think---Wow. He's really got a nice life now, doesn't he? And then it turns out......not so nice.

Very cool. I love "Evil Sayid." :lol:
 
Hm, not sure if we're updating this thread as we go along, but I think we have a new candidate for best scene or at least most dramatic (eg Ben and Chuck).
