Captain Cartman i started watching it a month ago on Netflix when i first saw it i saw it had six seasons and like 24 episodes each i almost decided not to but then i was like hmm the reviews are great may as well im really glad i decided to watch it otherwise i would have never seen one of the most beautiful scenes in the history of television and yes i thought the exact same thing
It's not the fact that he could walk again that healed him, but the moment Jack yelled at him to come and help. He was needed. He was validated. He was wanted. And he was able to help.
I agree. I think when Jack called him, that's what made him realise even more of this being his destiny and there was a reason for this and he was going to be an integral part of it.
@@childofthesun32 I mean, in the following episode, it was literally him that fed the 108 survivors with the "useless skills" he acquired in the last years that he could have never made use of, and then he tracked down and hunted, roasted boar for everyone. He was a provider.
@@Matt..SYeah. He really got to become who he felt he was meant to be on the island, which I think is why he was such a believer in what it was and why he was so devasted when it let him down. It's such a mad scene, because everyone is freaking out, in a panic, thinking life is over and he's just waking up, like life has just begun for him. Destiny has welcomed him and he's going to shine, and then Jack calls for him to help and he's like "Yes. This what I've been preparing for"
@@childofthesun32 But I think Locke wasn't just a typical neckbeard white knight who had it all in his head. He really was who he was. Life and evil people around him just put stones in his path. Firing him for no reason or crippling him. In the flashbacks he was always this wholesome great person, especially in the episode where he believes he saved a wayward young man who turned out to be an undercover cop. John already had his soul more or less fully formed and *ready* to take on the mantle, he just couldn't walk in his boots. He was a father figure for the annoying kid the moment they crashed. He didn't need a season to develop. All he needed was life to give him a chance
It's incredible how they introduced this scene to us in the first episode as a grizzly, dark, pain and death filled ordeal complete with fire, blood-curdling screams, and the disorienting whir of the engine, and yet when they show it to us again from Locke's perspective, it turns into a bewildering yet magical scene wherein a disabled man inexplicably regains the ability to walk and discovers a new hope in life. The contrast is crazy, for most people this scene was the worst thing that could happen, but for Locke it was the best. You can see the wonder in his eyes as he stands up.
14Schofield i disagree. From this scene yes because locke was the only one to understand that the island is "good". But after that they will all realized that. Lost was a show about "how do you deal with your past life". What the writers made so well is that one of those characters realised RIGHT after the crash that one of those "past problems" was resolved.
What I love about this scene is that for most of these people it's the worst moment of their lives but to John Locke it's the greatest moment of his life...
@@zazek84 Its not just that he was happy. He was the ONLY person there who believed in fate/Destiny. Others kept thinking either they are crazy or its all a fake. They even opposed his ways. He was optimistic and believed in what he saw or experienced. And yes, he was the right one at last.
You gotta feel for the Aussie walkabout employee. He seemed like a genuinly nice guy who was put in a very awkward and difficult situation and was just doing his job to the best of his ability.
Yeah he kinda at first seems like an asshole until you realize just how severe Lockes condition is. He stopped and attempted to listen to what Locke had to say multiple times
The Walkabout is or at least was, rite of passage into manhood for many Aboriginal tribes. 6 months in the Australian land by yourself - you hunt, catch and cook your own food, you defend yourself, you find water yourself, you survive on your own. Nowadays it's used a derogatory term, used to call someone 'a drifter' or 'shiftless'. In 1993, during an AFL (Australian Football League) between Collingwood and St Kilda, members of the Collingwood cheersquad yelled at Aboriginal player Nicky Winmar (playing for St Kilda) to "Go walkabout where you came from" and "Go sniff some petrol". Since the First Fleet, the settlers and the convicts (including my own ancestors) arrived in Australia, we've been killing this culture that goes back 40,000 years off year by year. Nearly half of the languages spoken across the country have become extinct, and the highest rate of suicide is among Aboriginal youth. No, I'm not Aboriginal, but that doesn't mean I'm in denial about what's going on in my country. And yes, it gives me a bad feeling knowing that a rite of passage has been turned into a tourist attraction with tickets and buses and insurance policies so that one white man who isn't even from Australia can feel better about himself. @JEFFREY ADLER
This is the best scene in the whole Lost series. I mean the acting is brilliant, the music, emotions. I teared up watching it for the first time and I want to cry again when now after I watched it all and know everything about John Locke.. What he has been through and what he has ahead of him on the island. How he dies. John Locke is far the best character in Lost and for me the best character in the history of television.
+hshshshshshshs Still think he was the right replacement for Jacob...he was the only one that trully understand what the Island is all about...this scene was surely the peak of the show
I love that the first thing Locke does when he realizes he can walk and hears calls for help... is run and help. Because for so long he was the one that needed to be helped, that needed people to aid him. And now, finally, he can be the hero.
@@TheMastermind729 It absolutely pains me that Locke wasn't around to find out that he was right all along and had to die such a pitiful death at the peak of his misery. I'm not the kind of guy who wants movies and series to all have happy endings for everyone, but if there was ever a character who deserved a better end it was John Locke. It almost feels like his redemption was stolen and given to Jack, and even though making Jack believe was Locke's purpose, he should've atleast been there to see it.
@@drivernephi2212 yeah it's bullshit that they let Ben kill him just because he needed to convince the rest to go back to the island. Locke should've found another way. Suicide is never the answer.
Unfortunately for me Lost was removed from Netflix Canada :( I'm currently saving up to buy the complete collection on blu-Ray though! This show is just too good to live without.
In a cataclysm of chaos and suffering, his form is copacetic. Surrounded by people at their very weakest, he stands stronger than ever before. Greeted by a cascade of screams and agony, he quietly smiles. All is right. This is televised poetry.
Just give Terry O’Quinn ALL the awards based on this three minutes alone...captivating, dramatic, devastating, hopeful, mysterious, just in a few looks...not to mention, my favorite Lost quote of all time, “Don’t tell me what I can’t do!”
One of the greatest fictional characters of all time. While it was sad john died confused and sad at least in the after life he is with helen again and makes peace with both ben and jack.
God this is one of the most perfectly executed scenes in television history. Seeing the crash again from his perspective and realizing on what was everyone else's worst day of their lives, it was the best day of Lockes. Masterful storytelling
1:48 is THE moment John Locke, a man whose life was truly so tragic, was finally free and he became the character we all fell in love with. It's this moment, his realisation of some higher power giving him another chance which made him the believer he became. Man, what a fantastic scene!
Of all of the people panicking down there, Locke was the only one able to appreciate the mere fact of being alive and now miraculously healthy. that's everything he ever dreamed of. just to be alive and healthy, that was his dream, and once given, life is now a dream come true for him. Most of the people there were so used to an organized, good life with everything taken care of, that they took everything they had for granted, and now that a disaster strikes, the most natural response is panic because they face a challenge to everything they ever took for granted. Locke just appreciates the very little, but actually very much, that he now has. he is the only one down there realizing how lucky he is, that's because he sees everything in a different perspective. you only realize how valuable something really is once it's gone, and that's how he gained that perspective - through pain(being handicapped, basically a lost person) and redemption. that's why he was happy, he just knew how much he really actually has. they didn't.
"When John first came to the island, he was a very sad man. A victim, shouting at the world for being told what he couldn't do, even though they were right. He was weak, and pathetic, and irreparably broken."
Like the Aboriginal culture that the rite of passage that is the 'Walkabout' comes from. Not meaning that it's weak and pathetic, but meaning that it's been broken down by years of colonialism, their culture has been destroyed, half of the languages spoken are now extinct, and people are still trying to make it seem commercial.
@@BurninPhoenix (s06 spoilers)"You're not John Locke. You disrespect his memory by wearing his face but you're nothing like him. Turns out he was right about mostly everything, I just wish I could've told him that while he was still alive."
“But, despite all that, there was something admirable about him. He was the only one of them that didn't wanna leave. The only one, who realized how pitiful the life he'd left behind actually was.”
I love how at the start of the episode they trick the first time viewer by making them think that Locke is inspecting his feet because he's wondering why his shoes came off. It isn't until the very end that you realize he's actually experiencing a MIRACLE!
watching it with my dad and sister I got nervous because I had forgotten how many times they showed Locke staring at his foot like that, and all the time I was thinking "oh crap they're gonna realize it before that scene comes in"
Happy Lost Day everyone! I'm posting this on April, 8th 2015 at exactly 16:23:42. What a truly incredible scene in a truly incredible show. :) #wehavetogoback
Re-watching Lost towards the end of 2023, couldn't wait to see one of my favourite scenes again. The show, its characters and the music will always be special to me, and this scene was what got me hooked when it first aired. Locke became my favourite character from that point onwards too.
John Locke is an absolutely brilliant character. Surrounded by people who have just endured the worst moment of their lives, he has experienced a miracle. The sudden reveal in this scene that he is sitting in a wheelchair is one of my favorite moments in the series.
This is not only one of the greatest scenes in Lost but also one of the greatest scenes in dramatic television. My jaw dropped when I saw this scene for the first time
This is one of the greatest episodes in TV history as it introduces one of the greatest TV characters John Locke. Terry Quinn's acting is out of this world!
I miss this show so much it hurts sometimes. These characters will always be a part of me. I chuckle, because it's odd to me, that a tv show could have such a large impact on my life. But it did. And I'm forever grateful for that.
Quinn acted with such raw passion in that first scene, he deserves a lot more recognition as an actor, whenever I see him he's always just a cop/fbi guy
I would say this is one of my favourite scenes. I really liked the episodes before it but this episode, this scene in particular, blew me away. The twist completely caught me off guard and the moment Locke realizes he is no longer paralyzed is beautiful.
Whatever missteps Lost had, and become infamous for, when it was good, it was one of the best shows ever put on tv. Even years later, I still feel sorry for John Locke.
Whenever I try to get people who haven't seen the show to watch LOST, I always tell them to give it 4 episodes at least. Even though the first 3 episodes are good, it's this episode, this scene in particular that will hook you. The acting, cinematography and music just blend together to create something special. Even now whenever I watch this I just want to cry as my heart breaks for Locke.
One of the greatest moments I have seen in television and probably will ever see, Lost had me gripped throughout its run and no other show has hit me with so many emotions since, the cinematography makes this one powerful scene.
10 years from the end of this show. This scene got me to the heart, trapped me, made me stay till the end of the series. I just got the chills through my body watching it again, I remembered where I was and what I fell when I watched it for the first time. Made me feel old too...
Having watched countless other so called Greatest TV shows , I can safely say that none of them can match the emotion, intensity and brilliance of LOST. I can watch this show 20 years from now and still be amazed at how beautiful everything was and be equally invested in the characters,mystery as I was when I watched it first. Looking at it now, I feel this show is sort of underrated. Season 6 was not a cup of tea for everyone but the ambition,scope and ideas of life and various other mysteries shared on this show was on a whole new level. None of the shows after that had me invested in them as much as LOST and none of them will. Someday, I wish to revisit this show but I am not ready to tear up again.. Some of the scenes(like this) chokes me up every single time. So much so that I feel reluctant viewing it again. That's how much I love LOST. LOST will forever be my Favorite show of all time.
I agree so much. I've never loved a show like I've loved this. Usually, I watch a show and it's over and I can move on and sort of forget about it but I can't with this. I watched it two months ago and finished it last week and I miss it. I bought the DVDs so I could own them and I'm watching it again. It's just a comfort thing for me. I miss the characters and I just love it. I bought a necklace that has a plane and numbers on it that I'm gong to wear forever because it has such a special place in my heart. I bawled my eyes out for hours at the end for so many reasons. It sounds silly but it really does mean the world to me this show. I love it so much. It's perfect.
Vineeth Valsan this show is almost 20 years and nothing ever came close to being as good as lost was, rewatching for the 4th time now and I’m still noticing new things . It’s def a show to revisit years later
Locke was half a man before the island, but the island completed him. In my eyes, I believe Locke after having endured so much torment and sadness in his life, to finally be acknowledged and blessed in the most surreal way possible is a tale like no other. I believe many people can relate to Locke's character and sympathize at least a little. He was a nice enough guy who was constantly put down. Fighting against a world that told him no. He was the only one who realized how pathetic his life was. There's something admirable about that.
He was the most tragic yet the most optimistic character in the series. It is even more tragic what happened to him in the end. Such an anti-climatic end to such a strong character.
@@CDbiggen to be fair that's the point of his arc. He truly believes he is chosen by the island. He wants to reunite with people he considers friends but he dies alone and confused. Wondering what it was all for. But in the end he was still reunited with them all in the afterlife. When you see just how happy he is to see Jack you know it is genuine. Locke was an incredible character in an incredible show.
It is so heartbreaking what happened to him, and I really hate it, but my god what happened with him was so important. It made for some seriously gripping TV. Some of the best I may ever see.
The writers decided the man of faith was not important even though he had probably the most interesting arc. They destroyed jack also and had to make Hurley the likeable character.
I love that the camera throughout the episode either stands still or doesn't move much during Locke's flashbacks, but when we see him being able to walk again, then the camera shakes violently because he feels alive again with a new purpose in life. That's just my take and I find it freakin' amazing and beautiful :'-)
I recognize your take and appreciate others taking note of the camera shakiness. It really adds to the scene. I always thought it was to be a comparable to John's stillness in the scene, like he is experiencing some intense peace and realization in the midst of chaos
This scene is just perfect. The music, the camera work, the acting. The smiling when he stands up while everything around him is in chaos. One of the best scenes in Television History.
In my opinion this is the greatest scene I have ever had the pleasure of watching on TV. Even most films made today are lacking this kind of perfection and emotion.
Such a beautiful moment, I remember when I first watched it I was completely shocked--the twist completely shocked me. The look on Locke's face, even when there's screaming all around him, as he stands up, combined with the music. Ach gives me chills every time.
I binge watched/finished this show earlier this year and this was the episode that got me hooked, specifically because of this scene. I watched this scene and finished the episode and got chills and kept pacing around, just so hyped up and in awe of the incredible writing and the emotion of the scene when you realize Locke was paralyzed and regained his ability to walk after the crash. Amazing episode.
I love the fact at this crash everyone is going through a traumatic experience, but here is Locke who is in his own little world and is going through a re-awakening...essentially a going through his own experience which for him as like a quiet euphoric experience that nobody else can really understand.
1:01 In a sense this is like the intro scene to the movie UP So much fucking sadness compressed into a short amount of time. It takes masterful filmmaking to do that.
It's brilliant. When you first see the scene of him wiggling his toes and struggling to stand you perceive it as him either noticing his shoe is missing or realizing he is ok and not injured. And he struggles to stand because he just was in an accident and is shaky. After the twist you suddenly see it in a completely different light and everything he did up until that moment.
Well, “Kids these days” such as myself definitely understood how impactful and jaw dropping this scene was, as well as understood how good the OTHER 5 seasons were 😊

Michael Giacchino is a truly underrated composer. His music was one of the main things that made lost special.
He will compose for Star Wars Rogue One :)
can´t agree more... my friend
He won an oscar for his music on Up
What song is it?
Who listens to Lost every day? I do !!
It's incredible how they introduced this scene to us in the first episode as a grizzly, dark, pain and death filled ordeal complete with fire, blood-curdling screams, and the disorienting whir of the engine, and yet when they show it to us again from Locke's perspective, it turns into a bewildering yet magical scene wherein a disabled man inexplicably regains the ability to walk and discovers a new hope in life.

What I love about this scene is that for most of these people it's the worst moment of their lives but to John Locke it's the greatest moment of his life...
The best way to describe this scene.
YES The contrast is what makes it so beautiful. There's fire, death, screaming and pain all around him and he's beside himself with joy. Beautiful.
That’s what makes it so special. That through all the carnage and screaming, he’s ready to cry from happiness.
This is nothing new. The same happened to that homeless guy in Blindness: for everyone it was the worst time but he never was happier.
@@zazek84 Its not just that he was happy. He was the ONLY person there who believed in fate/Destiny. Others kept thinking either they are crazy or its all a fake. They even opposed his ways. He was optimistic and believed in what he saw or experienced. And yes, he was the right one at last.

@@x-man9473 exactly! People these days always want a logical explanation 🤦🏽♂️ sometimes it's more poetic than that
Best scene in the entire series and one of the TOP 3 scenes in the history of television.
And when he screams at the hatch and it lit up
The best three minutes in television. Locke made Jack a believer. That was his purpose, his destiny.
This gave me goosebumps! By far one of the greatest scenes I witnessed.
Exactly! Wish i could re-experience watching this scene for the first time again.
This one and a scene from The walking dead, with Morgan Jones and Eastman.
Pling Pling That was such a good episode in the walking dead. Eastman, a complete stranger, saved Morgan's life. God I love writing.
totally, many people disliked that episode, except me, it gave me goosebumps ... rip eastman
God this is one of the most perfectly executed scenes in television history. Seeing the crash again from his perspective and realizing on what was everyone else's worst day of their lives, it was the best day of Lockes. Masterful storytelling
This is peak writing of anything I have seen on tv
I cried in this episode, this is where the show made me go until the very ending, beautiful.
1:48 is THE moment John Locke, a man whose life was truly so tragic, was finally free and he became the character we all fell in love with. It's this moment, his realisation of some higher power giving him another chance which made him the believer he became.
Man, what a fantastic scene!
And the first thing he does is help someone else... despite the fact that he knows he shouldn't be able to walk
Of all of the people panicking down there, Locke was the only one able to appreciate the mere fact of being alive and now miraculously healthy. that's everything he ever dreamed of. just to be alive and healthy, that was his dream, and once given, life is now a dream come true for him. Most of the people there were so used to an organized, good life with everything taken care of, that they took everything they had for granted, and now that a disaster strikes, the most natural response is panic because they face a challenge to everything
they ever took for granted.
Locke just appreciates the very little, but actually very much, that he now has. he is the only one down there realizing how lucky he is, that's because he sees everything in a different perspective. you only realize how valuable something really is once it's gone, and that's how he gained that perspective - through pain(being handicapped, basically a lost person) and redemption. that's why he was happy, he just knew how much he really actually has. they didn't.
"When John first came to the island, he was a very sad man. A victim, shouting at the world for being told what he couldn't do, even though they were right. He was weak, and pathetic, and irreparably broken."
Like the Aboriginal culture that the rite of passage that is the 'Walkabout' comes from. Not meaning that it's weak and pathetic, but meaning that it's been broken down by years of colonialism, their culture has been destroyed, half of the languages spoken are now extinct, and people are still trying to make it seem commercial.
"But he was the only one who never wanted to leave"
@@BurninPhoenix (s06 spoilers)"You're not John Locke. You disrespect his memory by wearing his face but you're nothing like him. Turns out he was right about mostly everything, I just wish I could've told him that while he was still alive."
“But, despite all that, there was something admirable about him. He was the only one of them that didn't wanna leave. The only one, who realized how pitiful the life he'd left behind actually was.”
I love how at the start of the episode they trick the first time viewer by making them think that Locke is inspecting his feet because he's wondering why his shoes came off. It isn't until the very end that you realize he's actually experiencing a MIRACLE!
That's briliant job on the writters.
The actor, Terry O’Quinn, wasn't told about this twist until they were filming episode 4.
watching it with my dad and sister I got nervous because I had forgotten how many times they showed Locke staring at his foot like that, and all the time I was thinking "oh crap they're gonna realize it before that scene comes in"
And this is when Lost became the greatest show of all time.
The music on LOST was simply phenomenal. This was probably one of my favorite scenes in the entire series.
This scene got Lost the Emmy
This was one of the most incredible moments in television history.
Happy Lost Day everyone! I'm posting this on April, 8th 2015 at exactly 16:23:42. What a truly incredible scene in a truly incredible show. :) #wehavetogoback
+Sarah Miller very nice, although 4th August would be lost day, April 8th being 4/8 is a retarded system
+syndawg89 Good point, we Americans are backwards about many things. ;)
Sarah Miller it’s good to see this. I’m 5 years and 10 days late but happy lost day.
Happy lost day from 2021 where everything has gone to shite
Happy Lost day from 2022 ! (A bit late) Hopefully things go a little better this time!
The greatest scene in television history. 15 YEARS LATER, and I still weep when I watch this scene. That's powerful.
Re-watching Lost towards the end of 2023, couldn't wait to see one of my favourite scenes again. The show, its characters and the music will always be special to me, and this scene was what got me hooked when it first aired. Locke became my favourite character from that point onwards too.
The smile locke gives is so satisfying. This is a man who was never dealt a fair hand his entire life... until now. And he knows it.
John Locke is an absolutely brilliant character. Surrounded by people who have just endured the worst moment of their lives, he has experienced a miracle. The sudden reveal in this scene that he is sitting in a wheelchair is one of my favorite moments in the series.
whenevr i am in a dark place i will watch this and it makes me feel better
This scene alone made me an instant fan. The show was very slow until this episode, and then I got hooked.
This is not only one of the greatest scenes in Lost but also one of the greatest scenes in dramatic television. My jaw dropped when I saw this scene for the first time
This is one of the greatest episodes in TV history as it introduces one of the greatest TV characters John Locke. Terry Quinn's acting is out of this world!
I miss this show so much it hurts sometimes. These characters will always be a part of me. I chuckle, because it's odd to me, that a tv show could have such a large impact on my life. But it did. And I'm forever grateful for that.
"Don't tell me what I can't do"
I've got chills now
I’m up to the end of season 5 and nothing in the show has matched the power of this scene yet. This hooked me into the show. An incredible moment
This is probably one of my favorite moments in the show.
This is one of the three scenes in TV show history that has legit made me start bawling.
Perhaps my favorite character in anything. Such a range of emotions I've felt with this guy
Its 29/11/2023 and I'm still re-watching this scene
I cant go over it
❤
Quinn acted with such raw passion in that first scene, he deserves a lot more recognition as an actor, whenever I see him he's always just a cop/fbi guy
I can honestly say this is one of the best things I've ever seen, I got goosebumps watching this
I was in love with Locke since I saw him smiling to Kate with an orange in his mouth and this scene was absolute beautiful
I would say this is one of my favourite scenes. I really liked the episodes before it but this episode, this scene in particular, blew me away. The twist completely caught me off guard and the moment Locke realizes he is no longer paralyzed is beautiful.
How can a single scene give u such emotion? This is art
One of the most emotional scene is TV history. Nothing tops this.
One of the best tv series character ever made.
Whatever missteps Lost had, and become infamous for, when it was good, it was one of the best shows ever put on tv. Even years later, I still feel sorry for John Locke.
Whenever I try to get people who haven't seen the show to watch LOST, I always tell them to give it 4 episodes at least. Even though the first 3 episodes are good, it's this episode, this scene in particular that will hook you. The acting, cinematography and music just blend together to create something special. Even now whenever I watch this I just want to cry as my heart breaks for Locke.
One of the greatest moments I have seen in television and probably will ever see, Lost had me gripped throughout its run and no other show has hit me with so many emotions since, the cinematography makes this one powerful scene.
10 years from the end of this show. This scene got me to the heart, trapped me, made me stay till the end of the series. I just got the chills through my body watching it again, I remembered where I was and what I fell when I watched it for the first time. Made me feel old too...
Having watched countless other so called Greatest TV shows , I can safely say that none of them can match the emotion, intensity and brilliance of LOST.
I can watch this show 20 years from now and still be amazed at how beautiful everything was and be equally invested in the characters,mystery as I was when I watched it first.
Looking at it now, I feel this show is sort of underrated. Season 6 was not a cup of tea for everyone but the ambition,scope and ideas of life and various other mysteries shared on this show was on a whole new level.
None of the shows after that had me invested in them as much as LOST and none of them will.
Someday, I wish to revisit this show but I am not ready to tear up again..
Some of the scenes(like this) chokes me up every single time. So much so that I feel reluctant viewing it again. That's how much I love LOST.
LOST will forever be my Favorite show of all time.
I nominate 'The Wire' as a rival in levels of emotion, intensity and brilliance.
I agree so much. I've never loved a show like I've loved this. Usually, I watch a show and it's over and I can move on and sort of forget about it but I can't with this. I watched it two months ago and finished it last week and I miss it. I bought the DVDs so I could own them and I'm watching it again. It's just a comfort thing for me. I miss the characters and I just love it. I bought a necklace that has a plane and numbers on it that I'm gong to wear forever because it has such a special place in my heart. I bawled my eyes out for hours at the end for so many reasons. It sounds silly but it really does mean the world to me this show. I love it so much. It's perfect.
For me Fringe really captured the emotion similar to how Lost did, especially John Noble’s acting.
Vineeth Valsan this show is almost 20 years and nothing ever came close to being as good as lost was, rewatching for the 4th time now and I’m still noticing new things . It’s def a show to revisit years later
It’s good, but you need to watch better call saul
Locke was half a man before the island, but the island completed him. In my eyes, I believe Locke after having endured so much torment and sadness in his life, to finally be acknowledged and blessed in the most surreal way possible is a tale like no other. I believe many people can relate to Locke's character and sympathize at least a little. He was a nice enough guy who was constantly put down. Fighting against a world that told him no. He was the only one who realized how pathetic his life was. There's something admirable about that.
He was the most tragic yet the most optimistic character in the series. It is even more tragic what happened to him in the end. Such an anti-climatic end to such a strong character.
I don't think I can watch the show again because of what they did to him.
John Locke: "Why is it so hard for you to believe?"
Jack: "Why is it so easy for you to believe?"
John Locke: "It's Never Been Easy" !!
@@CDbiggen to be fair that's the point of his arc. He truly believes he is chosen by the island. He wants to reunite with people he considers friends but he dies alone and confused. Wondering what it was all for. But in the end he was still reunited with them all in the afterlife. When you see just how happy he is to see Jack you know it is genuine. Locke was an incredible character in an incredible show.
It is so heartbreaking what happened to him, and I really hate it, but my god what happened with him was so important. It made for some seriously gripping TV. Some of the best I may ever see.
The writers decided the man of faith was not important even though he had probably the most interesting arc. They destroyed jack also and had to make Hurley the likeable character.
This is so important for all of us, all of human beings. Don't ever give up.
I love that the camera throughout the episode either stands still or doesn't move much during Locke's flashbacks, but when we see him being able to walk again, then the camera shakes violently because he feels alive again with a new purpose in life.
That's just my take and I find it freakin' amazing and beautiful :'-)
I recognize your take and appreciate others taking note of the camera shakiness. It really adds to the scene. I always thought it was to be a comparable to John's stillness in the scene, like he is experiencing some intense peace and realization in the midst of chaos
This scene is just perfect. The music, the camera work, the acting. The smiling when he stands up while everything around him is in chaos. One of the best scenes in Television History.
Locke paralyzed for 4 years and after a plane crash was able to move his legs and walk again. Great episode and acting from Terry O'Quinn.
the best character. if hugo was the heart, and jack was the mind, locke was the soul of lost.
In my opinion this is the greatest scene I have ever had the pleasure of watching on TV. Even most films made today are lacking this kind of perfection and emotion.
Oh man… this gets me every time. One of the best scenes in television history
Such a beautiful moment, I remember when I first watched it I was completely shocked--the twist completely shocked me. The look on Locke's face, even when there's screaming all around him, as he stands up, combined with the music. Ach gives me chills every time.
I binge watched/finished this show earlier this year and this was the episode that got me hooked, specifically because of this scene. I watched this scene and finished the episode and got chills and kept pacing around, just so hyped up and in awe of the incredible writing and the emotion of the scene when you realize Locke was paralyzed and regained his ability to walk after the crash. Amazing episode.
Most important scene of life watching it as a 9 year old boy begging my mum to let me stay up. Will never forget.
I love the fact at this crash everyone is going through a traumatic experience, but here is Locke who is in his own little world and is going through a re-awakening...essentially a going through his own experience which for him as like a quiet euphoric experience that nobody else can really understand.
Astonishing. Still.
Quite possibly the single greatest scene of the show. This is what hooked me for life
It is the best tv show ever. Nothing was is and never will be better then lost. Lost is perfect. Most beautiful emotional tv show. Love too much
Lost has 100’s of amazing moments and this is one of them, probably the best of them
Giacchino’s score, Locke able to walk again and the chaos and confusion swirling around him is so powerful.
1:01 In a sense this is like the intro scene to the movie UP
So much fucking sadness compressed into a short amount of time. It takes masterful filmmaking to do that.
***** its the same composer
+BeastUpp they aren't really similar. They just both bring forth similar emotions.
Lost is just fucking brilliant.
I want to use his quote for my senior quote
you can't...
DON'T TELL ME WHAT I CAN'T DO!
yay!
20 years later and still gives me goosebumps 🥹
It's brilliant. When you first see the scene of him wiggling his toes and struggling to stand you perceive it as him either noticing his shoe is missing or realizing he is ok and not injured. And he struggles to stand because he just was in an accident and is shaky. After the twist you suddenly see it in a completely different light and everything he did up until that moment.
I shed a tear every time I see this scene.
Best scene of Lost, easily top ten scenes in television history.
Kids these days will never know the jawdropping impact this scene had the moment it aired
Lost S1 was something out of this world
All seasons
Well, “Kids these days” such as myself definitely understood how impactful and jaw dropping this scene was, as well as understood how good the OTHER 5 seasons were 😊
This. Episode. Was. Brilliant.
