Yeah, I know we have the Lost thread, and the Lost social group. But I decided to make a new topic anyway. I just watched the pilot for the first season for the 4th time (first time on my HDTV, and with a 7.1 speaker setup (albeit only REALLY at 5.1, as it's on DVD coming into my receiver through fiber optic)), and I was smiling a good portion of the way through, remembering just how awesome the show really is. So, for all 6 or so Lost fans here, what are your top five (or ten) favorite moments from the first four seasons?
For me, in no particular order:
-The small act of defiance Sun shows by unbuttoning her top button in the pilot episode.
-Desmond's meeting with the woman from the jewelry store (hard to pinpoint an exact moment from that episode, as the whole thing was incredible, but this sequence was probably the most meaningful from that episode).
-Locke throwing his tray of food against the wall in season 4, and the cut to Ben's gleeful smirk.
-Hurley, Charlie, Sawyer, and Jin riding in the VW (a nice light reprieve from the main storyline).
-The light from the hatch in the season finale of the first season.
-Sawyer, Locke, and "the man from Tallahassee" in the Black Rock.
-Ben's meeting with Chales Widmore, and the implications it may have on Pen and Desmond.
-The first montage with Hurley's headphones.
-Charlie making the decision to throw his remaining stash into the fire beside Locke.
-The final "flashback" to the Others watching the plane come apart, and the look that Juliet and Goodwin give each other (which had been shown before, but now actually had some background), and how that moment impacted Juliet's motivation for everything that came after (before).
-Charlie's sacrifice in the Looking Glass station.
-Desmond finally telling Charlie his destiny.
-Rousseau and Alex reunited.
-Ben and Hurley sharing the candy bar.
Okay, that was FAR more than 5, but there are so many good moments that I couldn't stop thinking of them.
And as an honorable mention, only because now it's an inside joke between my buddy, his brother, and myself, "This is not YOUR island....this is OUR island."
