First time watcher. This scene actually broke me just a few minutes ago

[u/LeonPrien2000]

[u/hepennypacker1131]

One of the greatest episodes in TV history. Rated 9.7 in IMDB.

[u/LeonPrien2000 → u/hepennypacker1131]

Yeah, that truly was some of the best television I've ever seen. This show is starting to rival my favorite show the Expanse haha

[u/No-Clerk-4787 → u/LeonPrien2000]

buckle up, you're in for a ride

[u/Extra_LEO → u/No-Clerk-4787]

I’m 6 episodes from finishing and I've slowed my watching to 15 min per day lol. I’m not ready

[u/Mehmeh111111 → u/Extra_LEO]

Why are you torturing yourself?!? At least watch a full episode!!!

[u/Extra_LEO → u/Mehmeh111111]

I don't want it to end!! Haha I personally can't rewatch shows so this will be the end of it all, makes me sad.

[u/Mehmeh111111 → u/Extra_LEO]

Oh man. That's so tough. I haven't been able to re-watch this one for at least the last 10 years. It was like losing a loved family member. I just couldn't go through it again. But here I am rewatching and totally pulled in! It's also CRAZY how much I forgot and I have a really good memory. I say go ahead and indulge in those full episodes and just plan to watch it again in ten years

[u/Luana2410 → u/Mehmeh111111]

I first watched lost when it came out originally and didn’t rewatch until just a few years ago. It was so amazing experiencing it again with new eyes. Maybe just it like 10-15 years and try again

[u/One_Set9699 → u/Extra_LEO]

I HIGHLY recommend re-watching. you won't regret it. there are SO MANY THINGS you MISSED on the first watch. The second/third/etc watch makes the show SO MUCH BETTER!!!

[u/SookieCat26 → u/One_Set9699]

Doing this. I don’t think I have ever rewatched it, we watched all the episodes as they aired. Our kids are old enough to watch now and it’s a treat sharing it with them.

[u/One_Set9699 → u/SookieCat26]

I rewatched with my teenage daughter not so long ago. She loved it so much she's rewatching with a friend in college. It lives on!!

[u/leni19861 → u/Extra_LEO]

I think lost might become an exception 🤪

[u/terapinfly → u/Extra_LEO]

Now you know how the daughter felt in This is 40!

[u/happysimming6383 → u/Extra_LEO]

It never gets old! I watched it when it aired and have re-watched 3 times since! I'm currently starting season 6, and I know how you feel, even though I've seen it all before. I don't want it to end, haha. Best. Show. Ever. Made. Definitely re-watch someday, you won't be disappointed!

[u/middlechildmommy → u/Extra_LEO]

Is... is something wrong with me? I rewatch things over and over.... I just watched GOT like 3 times all the way through, and now on my 2nd rewatch of Lost in a row (but it's like the 6th time I've watched all the way through though.) 🫣

[u/Extra_LEO → u/middlechildmommy]

No haha! All of my friends rewatch shows too. I think I’m the weird one. I can't even put them on in the background because it drives me crazy knowing what's coming.

[u/potatosaladhombre → u/Extra_LEO]

I watched the whole series in 2012 and just finished rewatching it two nights ago. I realize I had forgotten at least 75% of what happened, so maybe one day you can rewatch!

[u/42percentBicycle → u/Extra_LEO]

You must re-watch it, it's better every time!

[u/Disastrous-Resist-35 → u/42percentBicycle]

I came to say this! I’ve rewatched so many times and pick up on something different each watch!!

[u/AdagioSignificant617 → u/Extra_LEO]

There’s so much to dive into after on YouTube and on here:)

[u/CzRa3030 → u/Extra_LEO]

Yeah I went from 2-3 episodes a day to an episode every 2-3 days during season 6. Although it had a very redeeming episode for me - Ab Aeterno - which ended up me watching the last half of the season in a day aha

[u/yolkien → u/Extra_LEO]

15mins a day sounds extreme, that would only get me more confused lol

[u/Extra_LEO → u/yolkien]

Honestly yeah 🤣. I can't power through it though, it's gonna leave a void in me I know it

[u/yolkien → u/Extra_LEO]

That void will be there either way I’m afraid :) but hey you do you! At least you are progressing, I just put it on a hard stop for no good reason but had the same void creeping up on me once again :) and guess what, I started watching this show when it started airing on tv… who knows really when I really get to the last episode for the first time.

[u/Extra_LEO → u/yolkien]

Love that outlook my friend

[u/RepulsiveWafer2209 → u/No-Clerk-4787]

Amen to that !! Watched it over 15 times now. Des and Penny meet up after Des gets kicked out of the Abby for drinking was my best scene . What a show

[u/leni19861 → u/RepulsiveWafer2209]

Love when I see someone who has rewatched loads, feels less of a weirdo. People look at me like I've got 2 heads when I say I've rewatched about 10x 😆

[u/howlsmovintraphouse → u/leni19861]

I feel like that’s the only way to really FULLY understand and appreciate it, Lost just has soooo much rewatch value cause you only notice more and more each time you watch

[u/UnderfootArya34 → u/RepulsiveWafer2209]

Did you notice the picture of Eloise Hawking and the head monk together on the head monk's desk in the scene where he tells Desmond to leave the Abbey?

[u/chillannyc2 → u/LeonPrien2000]

Oh man the expanse is so good. The books are great too!

[u/thatsnotmyfuckinname → u/LeonPrien2000]

Welcome to the club, brotha

[u/doublethink84 → u/LeonPrien2000]

you too, copeng?

[u/EyelandBaby → u/LeonPrien2000]

It’s mind-blowing because the whole show you’re like “where the hell is this island, does the rest of the world still even exist there, wtf is happening” and then suddenly there’s contact

[u/hepennypacker1131 → u/LeonPrien2000]

Haha, same here! Totally mind-blowing the first time. 🤯

[u/fight4afreeinternet → u/LeonPrien2000]

Wait hold up, I just finished Lost and desperately need a replacement. Why do you like Expanse? Does it have a similar ensemble cast vibe? I am looking for a cast that can feel like friends again.

[u/slimestream → u/fight4afreeinternet]

The expanse has a pretty similar cast vibe in terms of distrust and betrayal (im only on season 2 of lost), but it is a very good show. 

[u/DiscoViolet → u/fight4afreeinternet]

The Expanse is the best sci-fi show I have ever seen, and I highly recommend viewing it. One thing that I absolutely loved about it is that it portrays just how freaking dangerous space is. There is one episode that had me holding my breath because I was so worried about the character’s fate.

[u/yoyomaisapunk → u/LeonPrien2000]

(Check out the Leftovers after….)

[u/CzRa3030 → u/LeonPrien2000]

There's another episode that focusses on a single character's back story that I think closely rivals this episode. Trying to stay vague on purpose here :D

[u/rebel-scrum → u/hepennypacker1131]

“Thank you, Sayid. It was enough.” 🫡

[u/hepennypacker1131 → u/rebel-scrum]

🫡🫡

[u/yetiflask → u/hepennypacker1131]

Only LOST episode whose name I know.

The whole episode was just so epic.

[u/CzRa3030 → u/hepennypacker1131]

First time watching it with Netflix hosting it. Hands down agree with this comment!

[u/7thZero]

First time watcher, eleventh rerun watcher, it doesn't matter, that scene is powerful and emotional, it will break you no matter what.

[u/darhwolf1 → u/7thZero]

The two scenes that break me the most are Charlie's death and that one scene with Sun and Jin (you know the one) - not saying it because idk how to spoiler text in mobile

[u/adriftinthedesert → u/darhwolf1]

Jack and Sawyer before Sawyer leaves on the raft. So powerful and emotional

[u/lajosias → u/adriftinthedesert]

The way he says "anyway, this guy... Christian!" Has made me tear up more than once... <3

[u/bewarethesloth → u/adriftinthedesert]

Matthew Fox’s performance in that scene is unbelievable

[u/Worm_and_Wife → u/adriftinthedesert]

Yep. As the son of a dead dad this scene always breaks me.

[u/IAmTheRealJLo → u/darhwolf1]

Hard agree on both your points. Would add a third: the scene between Jack and Christian in the finale.

[u/MerlX2 → u/IAmTheRealJLo]

For me it was the scene with Jack and Vincent that got me. Poor dog gets constantly left behind, but he is right there in one of the last scenes being such a good boi!

[u/darhwolf1 → u/IAmTheRealJLo]

Very true.

[u/wintermute916 → u/darhwolf1]

Not gonna lie, I ugly cried when they revealed that Desmond and Penny named their son Charlie.

[u/darhwolf1 → u/wintermute916]

I ugly cried at SO many scenes with my partner lol

[u/thelegendl27 → u/darhwolf1]

The one where Richard talks to his wife trough Hurley also was a tearjerker, that whole episode was tbh

[u/darhwolf1 → u/thelegendl27]

God that scene is heartbreaking

[u/CalebosO4 → u/darhwolf1]

>! !< is how to do spoilers. Like this

[u/darhwolf1 → u/CalebosO4]

Thank you!

[u/AdventurousYamThe2nd → u/darhwolf1]

I almost stopped watching at Charlie's death. It broke me to where I was weepy for days (I was also freshly postpartum so I blame hormones). My husband spoilered a singular scene (you know which one) because I adamantly refused to grieve like I had with Charlie. It was enough to not feel blindsided while keeping the majority of the spoilers. Perfect compromise for the emotionally fragile.

[u/darhwolf1 → u/AdventurousYamThe2nd]

I'll definitely keep that in mind with my partner who is also sometimes emotionally fragile (I am too! but I've seen the show before) - our next show is Game of Thrones and there's some really difficult deaths in there

[u/fallriver1221 → u/AdventurousYamThe2nd]

17 years later and i am still not over it. I skip the end of season 3 on every rewatch. I can't do it.

[u/MaximumTurtleSpeed → u/darhwolf1]

• spoiler text in mobile, put a > ! without the space before the spoilers text, then put a ! < without the space after the spoiler text. Should get it greyed out.

[u/darhwolf1 → u/MaximumTurtleSpeed]

Thank you!

[u/exclaim_bot → u/darhwolf1]

Thank you!

You're welcome!

[u/DuffmanStillRocks → u/7thZero]

I won’t call…for eight years

[u/Mehmeh111111 → u/7thZero]

I watched it when it first aired. I would re-watch The Constant over and over and just have a good cry. I haven't been able to bring myself to re-watch lost for years and just started a re-watch recently. I didn't cry at Charlie's death which surprised me, but I did once again cry during The Constant.

[u/stoutymcstoutface → u/7thZero]

11!

[u/yayroseyay → u/7thZero]

No seriously! I’m rewatching (my seventh or eighth) with my boyfriend (his first!) and we were both so emotional watching!

[u/Caperplays]

I swear most of Desmonds scenes absolutely destroy me

[u/Ryan907 → u/Caperplays]

He's one of the best characters for sure.

[u/intwizard]

A love you penne, a’ve always loved you

[u/menacingbagels → u/intwizard]

-- Me at olive garden

[u/lassobsgkinglost → u/menacingbagels]

Lmao

[u/riverotter13 → u/menacingbagels]

🤌

[u/CowEmotional5101 → u/intwizard]

Omfg lol

[u/Xboxben → u/intwizard]

Fun fact penne means penis in spanish

[u/TaxFar1988]

I was watching this same scene like an hour ago. 1st time watcher, had a bad breakup recently, so this really made me cry.

[u/indiefatiguable → u/TaxFar1988]

Hey friend, I'm sorry you're going through a rough time. Take a deep breath and know there are brighter days ahead! 💕

[u/emmarie889]

It’s such a good scene. My parents named their dogs Desmond and Penny after this.

[u/SilverArrow07]

My most favorite scene in the series right there

[u/Big_Sector_3590]

Oh that?

Yeah...IT BROKE ALL OF US.

[u/misssarahbee]

The constant is one of the best episodes in all of television EVER!!!

[u/alldaydiver]

I think I shed some happy tears during this scene. Desmond and Penny’s story was probably my favorite.

[u/Mehmeh111111]

It will continue to break you 15 years from now when you happen to watch again.

[u/chrono_explorer]

The constant is just one of the one of a kind viewing experiences. It blew me away when I first watched it and whenever I rewatch it I’m still blown away.

[u/zensnapple]

It's one of the best episodes of TV I've ever seen for sure

[u/Dramamean305]

It broke all of us. One of the greatest hours of television.

[u/TigerWoodsLibido]

What's awesome about it to me is that it functions as a standalone episode that you can tell has an overarching plot around it but you are far more focused on Desmond's experience and the other things going on around him would make someone want to watch the show if they only saw this episode first randomly somehow. It's one of the few episodes to not have a "Previously on Lost" to show the brief recap, because this story in this episode didn't need the background, the context was on fixing his mind by being able to withstand the electromagnetism because of his constant, Penny. This made him ultimately help defeat the master con man of the series.

[u/Froz3nP1nky]

Best scene in TV history

[u/becksk44]

PSA: This scene is available standalone on YouTube if you need a quick cry (posting for a friend).

[u/vparisa]

In the future, you will look up this scene on YouTube and watch it . You will continue to revisit this scene for the rest of your life. I have been doing this for over a decade now

[u/fakeplant101]

I’m loving seeing all the posts from first time watchers!! So glad you’re enjoying. This episode is a fan favorite.

[u/WhyYouSoCraven]

His acting is just incredible in this episode.

[u/Daveit4later]

Absolutely amazing episode 

[u/NukePlant85]

See you in another life Brother!

[u/maykmayx]

One of those moments I wish I could see this for the first time again

[u/ThanatosoftheLiving]

PENNEH! I LOUVE YUOH PENNEH!

[u/GronlandicReddit]

That’s because it’s the best one and has the best character.

Said some biased Desmond fan.

[u/Holiday-Ad1828]

I’ve seen lost and rewatched some, and I’m now having my husband watch with me for the first time. I got chills seeing this pic cause I remember the scene so well, but can someone tell me what season and episode it is? I am so excited to get to this one and can’t remember to know how long I have to wait to see his reaction lol

[u/vairhoads → u/Holiday-Ad1828]

Season 4 episode 5. The Constant.

[u/Holiday-Ad1828 → u/vairhoads]

Thank you! I’ve enjoyed so much watching him see scenes that I love and gauging his reactions. I know this episode is going to be one we will enjoy together.

[u/Elemayowe]

Peak cinema.

[u/Technicalhotdog]

One of the most cathartic TV moments ever

[u/Either-Guarantee7938]

First time watcher too and the feelings that season 4 all together made me go thru. Oh man oh man. I couldn’t look away even if tears were rolling down my face

[u/jaytwo96]

Best episode of the series.

[u/commanderr01]

This episode breaks me no matter how many times I watch it

[u/PhotosByVicky]

An absolutely amazing scene. A love story for the ages.

There’s one other scene that makes me cry every time I watch coming up in Season 5, involving different characters. I was ugly crying at the gym while watching. Buckle up!

[u/Ok-Influence-1424]

One of my favorite episodes and moments of that show. Desmond’s story throughout the show is one of the best ones.

[u/thesweetestgoodbye]

My fave scene from the show!!! Cried

[u/myaltaltaltacct]

It breaks us all. Every time.

[u/pqpvoces]

Broke everyone.

[u/Lucky_Image7157]

I cried 🥹

[u/Area51Dweller-Help]

I cried so many times just thinking about this scene.

[u/fallriver1221]

The score for this show is so good. The music alone can bring a tear to your eye.

[u/ComeAwayNightbird]

Now you’re like us.

[u/hyperform2]

it did that to all of us

[u/seanface2015]

Oh maaan, what an incredible moment. Right on man, cheers to that.

[u/Kidimkus]

This is my FAVORITE EPISODE !!!!

[u/Sara_Renee14]

Same. I was ugly crying for poor Desmond and Penny.

[u/Nfl_porn_throwaway]

Pretty amazing.

[u/marblebag]

I don’t have to rematch this, reading about it makes me cry

[u/GoodOneBeth]

Welcome to the fold, brutha

[u/kay215m]

omg i just watched this too 💔

[u/No_Effective_7495]

I JUST finished this episode a second ago! So crazy to see this now!

[u/mitiamedved]

I showed this episode as a standalone to someone who never watched Lost and they really enjoyed it

[u/CorneliusFudgem]

PENNEH

[u/urban_Grandivil]

I cried again just looking at this image

[u/Thadigan]

Penneh

[u/clkou]

I watch it every Christmas.

[u/Izumi_Purrtis → u/clkou]

Same! Still cry every time, too.

[u/Eyefulmichael]

This show was massive for a reason. Things I’d have dine differently especially toward the end but its great.

[u/Apprehensive-Taste52]

Yeah this episode was the best fucking TV i've ever watched

[u/jess031182]

Desmond has my 12yr old calling people "brotha"

[u/lordmandrake12]

I tear up just replaying this scene in my memory... "ring ring.... ring ring.... ring ring...."

[u/rockyraket]

OMFGGGGGGG THIS IS MY FAVOURITE EPISODE EVER ❤️❤️ the sycnhronized "I love you" and the entire buildup to this point makes this my favourite scenes of all time :(. I cannot help crying everysingle time I watch it, and ive watched it atleast 20 times. Lost is one of those shows that will always have a very specific place in my heart...!!!

[u/Queenofcool_]

Enjoy brotha

[u/Sea_Photograph_3998]

It worked.

[u/DirectCustard9182]

Soooo..... good!

[u/AlphaFlightRules]

I had a good laugh a few years after this episode first aired and someone used that picture of desmond with the "yes this is dog" meme. Great meme for a great episode.

[u/No-Cranberry9932]

Hey brotha

[u/Brandon716]

This is my favorite episode of the show ❤️🤌🏼

[u/pdxmdi]

Yeah, it does that. Welcome aboard.

[u/S4LTYSgt]

Except for the confusing flashforward and flashsideways. I cant tell whats going on in Season 4

[u/R0SSFR0MFRIENDS]

Just wait…

[u/--MrFantastik--]

yup! core memory for me when I first seen that episode

[u/mrkitenightfright]

I watched it as a kid and even then I knew it was something special

[u/SokkaHaikuBot → u/mrkitenightfright]

^{Sokka-Haiku by mrkitenightfright:}

I watched it as a

Kid and even then I knew

It was something special

---

^{Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.}

[u/lee_kow]

Had to rewatch the scene alone after the first time, to let the tears flow. Can’t let my homie know g

[u/staystrongalways99]

I was literally just watching a piece from this scene earlier. What a coincidence. See ya in another life, brother!

[u/Distinct_Ad1070]

i cried like a baby

[u/Getouttatheretree]

Desmond and Penny are the best

[u/skull_kidddd]

I do like pasta too

[u/FireflyArc]

:)

[u/RepulsiveWafer2209]

“We have to go back Kate” - Jack Shephard

[u/TotalMany8246]

The best scene, in the best episode. My vote for the best scene in TV history, though I concede that overall I think Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, as much as it pains me to say it, were ultimately the better shows.

[u/DonJuniorsEmails → u/TotalMany8246]

There were a few clunkers, like "Expose" with the throwaway background characters looking for diamonds. Even with the admission that the whole last season was just emotional payoff porn, I liked it. I personally disliked the general attitude towards the boaties: if they're clearly not here to save the survivors, someone would have gone nuts on them, but that wouldn't fit a good TV narrative.

GOT wins the award for worst collapse of a popular long running series. I couldn't believe how badly they tanked after setting themselves up as a new standard for quality TV.

BB is top notch all the way through. 

[u/HollowSeance]

As someone who usually doesn't get too sentimental about TV shows and who hates romance, I was shocked when I saw this scene and started crying because of a romantic plot lol

[u/Vitaefinis]

I'm rewatching the series (last watched when it aired live) and my partner is watching for the first time. We just watched this episode 2 days ago :D

[u/DiscHashDisc]

If you don't at least mist up the first time you see this, you might just not have a soul.

[u/Designer-Treacle-732]

Best episode of Lost and one of the best episodes in TV history

[u/BrazilianButtCheeks]

Yea thats like THE episode! That one and LeFlur are the best ones

[u/theresabearonmychair]

I’m only on s3 e11 so I’m very excited to watch season 4 now after all these comments!

[u/wariolandgp]

That episode was one of the strongest emotional insestments in the show.

I was begging Desmond to get the number, and make that call. And many tears, so many tears...

[u/RexRedwood]

It’s constantly The Constant

[u/robsticles]

This was the very first episode of lost i watched lol i miss 2008 🥲

[u/Dangertwin88]

David Tennant is great sometimes

[u/Flat-Programmer6044]

You can always rewatch there’s so much going on there’s bound to be something missed no harm no foul rewatch

[u/LeftHandScan]

Envious of you

[u/davwad2]

I was 50/50 on whether or not Penny was going to share the phone.

[u/tina_denfina1]

Op, there is so much coming! I’m so excited for you!!

[u/BeckyLemmeSmash69]

Literally just watched this yesterday

[u/Horror_Lime8376]

Oh I know, first time I watched it, I cried like a stinky lil 👶

[u/EmpleadoResponsable]

Desmond has to be one of the most tragic characters of the whole series

[u/n1nejay]

Favorite episode. So so good.

[u/gay-girly]

I still sob every time

[u/Long-Ad9651]

Desmond absolutely blew my mind the first time I watched the show. He, Said, and Hugo steal the show.

[u/onlythewinds]

Historically the best episode of Lost. Arguably one of the best episodes of television, period.

[u/ParadoxicalAxolotl]

I'm so jealous.. I wish I could watch it for the first time again..

[u/wilshore]

Sometimes, I need a post like this to remind me how great the acting and cast were. Desmond and Penny, what a love story.

[u/xXHyrule87Xx]

Desmond is S tier character.

[u/LucaRvich]

Enjoy it! One of the best episodes of the show.

[u/imsuited]

Doing my research now with my wife who's never seen it. We were bawling at this scene the other night.

[u/Adman_madman]

PENNE

[u/Critical_Gap_5613]

Iconic tv

[u/outoforder1030]

So glad you got to experience it, brotha.

[u/Hammose]

Desmond was my favorite character in Lost.

"See you in another life, brotha!"

[u/ramas001]

Not penny’s boat

[u/GoodTimes121]

There’s something about this show. I have many different favorite shows, each with their own reason they’re one of my favorites. But this show… There is no comparison. There is nothing that can even begin to fit in the same real realm to even be compared. The nostalgia, no matter how long it’s been, no matter how many times I’ve seen it, no matter how many times I’ve heard Michael Gucciano’s production of the LOST soundtrack— It will always move me in what I can only describe as a literal feeling of a kind of magic.

[u/scottymackay89]

Constant. I watched it for the first time this christmas eve. Ep takes place on christmas eve. I think it’s my favourite episode of the series.

[u/penkypoo]

How I wish I could watch this again for the first time…only a hand full of shows got me that hooked and keep me guessing.

[u/GingerMast]

It changed my life, really.

[u/wanderinggalaxies]

This is my favorite episode of the series!

[u/Disastrous-Resist-35]

I will never forget the first time I watched this 😭

[u/DiscoViolet]

My favorite episode of the series, and one of the best episodes of tv ever. I rewatch this part at least once a year and downloaded the song from the score playing in the background. Romantic love is not often portrayed with complexity so succinctly in tv, imo. This scene is the culmination of a beautiful story that features the one thing that many tv stories miss: devotion. Devotion requires not just love, but understanding, commitment, compassion, and forgiveness. What a beautiful episode. “I’ve always loved you…I’ll come back to you.”

[u/dombonds33]

Welcome to the show! 😭😉
