Top Ten LOST Scenes

[Mojochi]

I'll try to remember some more later

Jack: I'd be more impressed with you people if you had a decent surgeon
Ben : We had an excellent surgeon, Jack. His name was Ethan

Hurley: Son of a bitch (When his music player finally died)

Hurley: So, Rose's husband's white. Didn't see that one coming.

Hurley: (To Jin) You have to pee on it!

Hurley: (To Desmond) So... like, the hatch... blew off your underwear?


God I miss how funny the show used to be

Can't believe no-one has mentioned Sayid shooting young Ben (guess that goes to show how many great scenes there are in Lost!)

I think that gives Alex's death competition for darkest scene on Lost.

 

[Mr Light]

There are so many amazing moments in this show I'd have to watch the entire thing over again to remember all the best ones. I'll toss in a new one though. When we first saw the Dharma Initiative Orientation video in "Orientation". It was that moment that the show truly became incredible with the revelation of this entire 1970s conspiracy at work. Oh, I thought of another new one. The introduction scene of Faraday, when he's watching new coverage of the Oceanic plane being found and suddenly breaks out in tears and doesn't know why. Another new one! Sayid noticing the Four Toed Statue in "Live Together". It was another moment that suddenly introduced a whole new aspect of the story in an incredible way.

I still believe that the one iconic moment in the show is that which appears in almost every single episode. It's effectively the ultimate punchline, the moment that tells you "That's all. There's no more. Go home now." In that respect it's menacing, funny, shocking, comforting, authoritarian, and infuriating at the same time.

I'm of course referring to this:

 

[Seven of Five]

Totally agree. When we had a black LOST logo on a white background at the end of season five it totally blew my mind. Just that one change really made us ponder what the hell season six was going to be. So that itself is another good moment.

 

[Zulu Romeo]

The muffled "boom" sound effect (which seemed more like a loud THUMP in earlier episdoes) adds to the emphasis, as does whether it appears straight away cutting from the action of the close of the episode, or if it comes in after a beat (as usual). (I actually think the end of "The Incident" would have been more effective if there was no mufled boom to go with the slowly fading-in negative logo, and if the end credits rolled in silence with no music.)

Incidentally, I don't feel the equivalent sign-off technique in Fringe is as effective, but that's just my opinion.

I wonder if they will actually show the logo at the end of the final episode, or if they will change it to something more subtle. (I think the subtlest it's ever been was in the episode with Sun's wedding ring going missing, when it simply faded in then faded out without even a sound effect for emphasis.)

 

[Seven of Five]

Perhaps it will end on the sound effect on some sort of last minute quirky reveal, for old time's sake. That's my wish.

If there is a big emotional end in whichever (maybe both?) reality then surely it would end quietly?

^ALIAS did this as well, and having seen little of FRINGE, I can say that LOST handles it most effectively.

 

[Warp Coil]

In no particular order:

- Jack waking up in the jungle, walking onto the beach, dealing with the plane crash aftermath in "Pilot, part 1"

- Revelation that Locke was in a wheelchair/showing Locke's feet move after the plane crashes in "Walkabout"

- The montage of the passengers of Oceanic 815 getting on the plane/the opening of the hatch in "Exodus, part 2"

- The beach reunion at the end of "Collision"

- Charlie's death in "Through the Looking Glass, part 2"

- "We have to go back!"/Reveal of the flash-forwards in "Through the Looking Glass, part 2"

- Desmond calls Penny in "The Constant"

- Keamy calls Ben's bluff and kills Alex in "The Shape of Things to Come"

- The introduction of Jacob and the MiB in "The Incident"

- The reveal that Locke really is the MiB in "The Incident"

 

[Yeoman Randi]

Ooo so many. I have to give props to everyone that could actually make a list!
I don't think anyone has mentioned this yet, and it's an image seared into my brain:
When Locke is on the hatch, crying out in dispair, so certain it was supposed to be important and that he had faith in nothing....and then...the light!
