This is why . . .
Hurley gets the Dharma van running.
And this is where the Dharma van came from.
Und du?
Hmmm, are all our LOST fans all vacationing on The Island with Hurley & Ben? Here’s another to keep the thread on the front page for awhile.
I fear that the thread might be merged with the other one on “Things that were huge at the time but now totally forgotten.”
It’s possibly the need to post clips that’s dampening this thread… I have a lot of great moments, but no desire to hunt for clips of them.
Oh well, we can talk about scenes, can’t we? In the last season, when things were getting a bit silly, there was still some great acting by Michael Emerson and Terry O’Quinn especially. When that Indian chick was about to shoot Ben and he starts talking about how he was going to join the Man in Black because nobody else would have him, that was pretty good.
Koxinga - you mean this one? I thought that was one of the best Ben scenes ever.
That’s it. Fantastic.
To me the best Ben scene ever was the first Ben scene ever - the first time we ever got a hint at who and what he was. Which was: “you guys got any milk?”
Damn you, fiddlesticks. It still makes me teary.
This is the most recent scene to bring tears to my eyes in movies or TV.
The very first episode was great, what with the mysterious noises in the jungle and the trees getting uprooted by something invisible, and then the pilot getting pulled out of the plane and left dead high in a tree. And I remember how fast-paced the threads here were on the show during the first season. I think they went to five or six pages within the Eastern time broadcast.
“Dude, he surrendered,” said Hurley.
“I didn’t believe him,” replied Sawyer.
That, and Hurley running a guy over in the van.
I enjoyed the unveiling of Hurley’s golf course, Sawyer’s and Juliet’s remembering in the final episode (Vincent lying next to Jack brings a tear to my eye, too), Juliet’s book club, Sawyer’s nicknames, Jack’s idiocy, Ben being manipulative (his reaction after his daughter was killed was perfect), orange-peel Locke, Hurley and Libby … there’s a lot of little things I miss about it.
How the first video wasn’t THE JOHN LOCKE scene I will never know:
“Don’t ever tell me what I can’t do!”
That was the first huge “WHAT. THE. FUCK.” Lost had to offer.
Gosh, I really do miss this! A lot of big reveals that can never be revisited with the same sense of WTF?! The Season 3 opener, for one.
Do I read correctly that Giacchino only scored one Emmy for his work on Lost? There needs to be a riot…
To me, Lost was the first show in which my involvement when far beyond the show itself and became intertwined with the internet. The Hanso foundation/Oceanic Airlines websites, the extra scenes, the SDMB discussions (remember the endless debate over whether the show was planned or if the writers were making it up as they went along (the answer, not surprisingly, was “both”)), the Lostpedia, watching it on my video iPod after downloading it from iTunes, Youtube compilations, that website that dissected every episode (it was a couple of guys talking about the episodes - pretty funny stuff).
It was a good time.
