How Did This Bad Boy Go From Most Hated To Most Loved? - LOST Episode Guide: Confidence Man

[@JBentham1523]

Dont stop the channel, lost is forever the goat

[@maggiebeltaa5421]

THIS ❤ I've watched this series about 3 times all the way through, and I love it when these videos pop up! Makes me wanna watch it again 👀❤️

[@UncleFlaynus]

Sawyers character arc is the greatest in television history. It is so fucking well done.

[@robinmendelson5512]

It is Josh Holloway who makes Sawyer. That glint in his eyes. That’s why I named one of my kittens Sawyer.

[@charlieolson7470]

my heart is filled with so much joy and excitement every time i see this page has posted a new video. thank you. doing gods work

[@maggiebeltaa5421]

I CANNOT imagine Matthew Fox as Sawyer 🤣 Im SO glad they decided on Josh. The casting was PERFECTLY executed which is what makes this series so easy to watch and rewatch.. many times 😂❤❤

[@exhaustpipes]

I love Sawyer's arc. Looking forward to seeing the Getting Lost documentary

[@Willowdog08]

When he killed Sawyer, he became James.

[@jsh357]

I don't know how you manage to make me feel like I'm still learning new things even when you're pointing out stuff I already knew, but I appreciate it so much.

[@ImpGimp]

Yooo I was so happy seeing this upload and immediately watched all of it! Soon I will introduce my wife to Lost... and lead her down the cascading waterfall of trickery and mystery.

[@BobtheRedead]

The madness starts so early! Many hints are only recognizable upon a rewatch. I showed the show to my brother recently and in the very first episode there's a hint toward the eventual time shenanigans! When Jack, Kate, and Charlie return to the plane and meet the pilot, Jack tells the pilot that they crashed 16 hours ago. The disoriented pilot says "16... ... ..." Without specifying the unit of time. In the second episode, Sayid calculates that Danielle Rousseau's French transmission has been going out for 16 years. You would only even notice this if you were taking note of the numbers. Remember the numbers! They appear randomly throughout the show, even in unexpected places like Desmond's order number at Hurley's chicken restaurant being 42.

I love this show and this channel. Thanks for making these and letting us re-experience this amazing show.

[@Theothesleeper]

this channel is such a gem. its also great cus youre keeping lost alive through your videos

[@jsh357]

On the long con: in some ways, the long con is the underlying theory that informs the whole show. It's a representation of the fate vs free will theme in a bottle form. Everyone thinks they are making their own decisions, but you can argue it was all set up in a grand tapestry by the island, fate, a god, Jacob, the show runners, whatever, but in a way that made them think they had agency. The choice of whether that's true or not is up to the viewer. I love this show so much!

[@jsh357]

Forgotten to mention: whatever the case, the important thing is ultimately that it happened. It's such a simple idea, but so beautiful.

[@marinabassi3767]

What a nice way of ending the year, a new video on Lost from the best channel! I must confess Sawyer has always been my favorite character. I also think that I have never seen a love scene as hot and loveable anywhere else than the one between him and Kate in the cages in season 3, omg !

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

I agree that the chemistry between them is undeniable. They had the best love scenes in the entire series.

[@LadyJennyfer75]

I love your LOST videos. Though roughly half the things you explained I already understood, you have given me new insights.

[@donm5354]

Another great episode summary and analysis as usual. Many things I forgot or never noticed even upon viewing the episode a number of times. Despite the show being off the air for 15 years it still seems fresh to me. Looking forward to Episode 9.

It’s gonna be so special when you finish the series and we can look back years from now how much we’ve grown and learned. Thanks for doing such a dedicated job!

[@SukoThaigirl]

Have you ever thought about doing a video on all the books Sawyer is seen reading throughout the episodes and what (if any) is the message behind the chosen titles/books? Thank you for everything you do! Love your channel ⭐️

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

Oh yes, I plan to touch upon some of the books Sawyer is seen reading whenever we see him reading one in an episode as we move through the series. He does read some really thematically interesting novels throughout the show, all of which were intentionally chosen by the writersroom I’m sure. 🙏

[@invictus2169]

This will be an amazing video

[@Boo1in]

Been waiting for this one!!

[@AugSk8]

So hyped to watch this

[@thomasmora5390]

Was waiting for this

[@Choekaas]

The asthma story is definitely, like you said, one of the many network television stories of the early phase of season 1. I wonder if the reason why they decided to answer/bring back the asthma inhaler in season 6 was due to the skit they did with Jorge Garcia on Comic-Con 2009. He came up on stage, pretending to be one of the fans in queue and asked whether or not this would be resolved in the final season. Fans laughed, since it was the least thing on our minds, and they probably gave it to a scene with Jorge for fun since they remembered this humorous bit.

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

I had totally forgotten about that! In that case it probably was intended as a little in-joke. It wouldn't be the first time they threw in a wink to the audience like that. Great catch!

[@buddystewart2020]

Another great video and episode. I always like Sawyer, even when he was being an asshole. lol. Maybe, before I pass, Sawyer will give me a nickname.

[@geektoys370]

you are so devoted to LOST i appreciate your work.

[@mycabbages3538]

I always thought Josh Holloway would end up being a huge movie star after Lost. But he really hasn’t done much. I loved the cyborg show he did but it got canceled. I never watched the other show he did.

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

I watched Holloway in Colony, which was co-created by Carlton Cuse. He was a really good lead in it and it was a solid show but it never quite found its footing despite the concept of an alien occupation being very cool. It got cancelled at the end of Season Three, so it is left frustratingly incomplete.

[@robinmendelson5512]

He was the main character in two dramas and another is coming out soon. I think he’s interested mainly in his family.

[@MrPiratjen]

I loved him from the start

[@Silas-lc9op]

Another fantastic job. Thank you for all of the hard work that must go into this. It goes along so perfectly with the energy of Lost.

[@aleksiejlublov7995]

Sawyer has the best character development in the entire cast and that's not just my opinion, that's a fact.

[@EricMoore790]

He was always interesting since the very beginning.

[@laurimaijala4984]

On my most recent rewatch of the show, I began to wonder if Sawyer fell for the role of the "bad guy" as he knew that someone was going to be "that guy" anyway. This idea goes well with the self-punishing, but also give a little more nuance to his attitude towards Shepard.

[@efrainrosales1684]

I just discover this channel please I really enjoy your videos keep doing it you are the best

In the show, all characters were shipping sawyer-Kate . Lock (do you want to her come back) , Hurley (something in your eye Hugo & winks) , Jin ( winks ) , sun (do you want to watch him) , Bernard (saying Juliet to stay for tea) . Claire (making coffee) Ben... & many others, it was like every one wanted to these two be together .

[@samanthab1923]

I thought his career would really take off.

[@keepmywifesnameoutyomouth6373]

Most of the actors from the show barely get work. I think it’s by choice. Michael is doing great on the show From. Kate did well in the Ant Man movies and Locke was good on The Ones Who Live.

[@dominicwilliamson7912]

I find it funny the only 2 that really went on to bigger things was Eangeline Lily who is a good actress but her character arc fizzled out around season 2-3. And claire actress who went on to do "once upon a time" you had jin do hawaii 5-0 but that was a lateral move.

[@samsonmorrell]

I've just finished Season 3. Never watched it the 1st time. It's awesome

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

Beware that my videos tend to spoil plot points for the entire series. In this one alone I talk about moments from Season Six and the overall direction of the series. So if you don’t want to know what is coming up then avoid this channel until you finish the whole show. 🙏

[@samsonmorrell]

@LOSTEXPLAINED108 I've just gone back to your earlier videos & will walk through hopefully not ruining it for myself lol. I'm not too fussed on spoilers tbh & I understand If I choose to watch then that's entirely up to Me. I'm thankful I found your channel. I was trying to find reviews but videos were scarce so thank you.

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

My earlier videos spoil the ending and the last few seasons big time. There won’t be any surprises left for you I fear. Just imagine if you had known about the twist at the end of Season Three with Jack and Kate beforehand. It would have taken so much of the impact away. I would advise you to finish the series then come back to the channel so you have the full context to understand what I am discussing. Otherwise you do a disservice to both the show and these videos because you spoil the show but don’t quite understand what I’m talking about in all of the videos. Like skipping to the last page of a book you are halfway through reading (and enjoying). You sort of get the ending yet you won’t understand how it got there or why it happened. But of course it’s up to you. If you don’t mind spoilers and want the show spoiled in its entirety then that’s your prerogative. This channel will certainly do that! There is not one video on here that doesn’t in some way spoil the last half of the series. It’s all connected!

[@samsonmorrell]

@LOSTEXPLAINED108 if anything what I've seen from your videos has me thinking damn, I really need to go back & rewatch these episodes. Same with the season 3 finale. I'm going to have to go back & watch again lol.

@ hey man love ur vids but I think it’ll be good if you re-recorded your voice on earlier videos I’m not gonna lie I’ve only watched your content after your voice reveal cus the audio was hard to listen to. But it don’t matter love your content bro. I’ve been watching your videos as i watch lost for the first time and I don’t mind spoilers and I’ve been enjoying it watching it this way

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

All of those old videos *have* been remade - that’s what The Theory of Everything series was all about. They were an updating on the old smaller bitesize videos only with them all stitched together to form a larger narrative across six themed parts. So if you watched The Theory of Everything six parter then you have seen all of the old content covered with my own voice already. 👍 It has been done.

[@churchdog]

@ hell yeah thanks for responding btw

[@BobtheRedead]

I love that as Sawyer reads more books, the nicknames he gives to the other survivors level up into literary references. When Locke wants to lead an expedition further into the jungle, Sawyer calls him "Kurtz." Kurtz is the main villain of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, a classic novel that inspired Apocalypse Now among many other works. Kurtz is an imperialist who leads expeditions into the jungles of Africa to extract resources and viciously brutalize the natives. In the end Kurtz dies a murderous madman, driven mad by his ambition and willingness to sacrifice any semblance of humanity to achieve his goals. Sawyer was SO RIGHT about Locke!

[@Jacobcampos-ye3qh]

I was just talking about this last night

[@ThePlandemicPodcastof]

True….like all the bad things happened to me recently, break up from a woman with lots of loss of money, car broken down, then uncle dying. It all led me to curse out my boss, which lead me to this exact moment in time. I recently got a gig at panda express plus might be able to go back to my other job but well see we shall see

[@vincentlorusso689]

Good old #15. Sawyer was flawed enough to be relatable. Kate and Jack and Locke's skills were harder to relate to. Sawyer was just clever and charming. He's the Batman of Lost lol.

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

He's a very well written character that's for sure. I always thought of him as more like the Han Solo of LOST.

[@vincentlorusso689]

@LOSTEXPLAINED108 that's a great comparison too. He would probably have made a great guardian of The Island. I kinda get why he left but I wish he stayed.

[@TheDarkSideOfIndustry]

In many ways I can relate to James. Not from losing my parents or from being a con man. But I do have many things in common with him, I often find I don’t care about society or what others want me to do, it's a thing I have always had and no matter how much people try to make me conform I simply cannot and will not. It's probably why I don’t like Jack or Hurley as people that much, because both express they want others to conform to their system and ideologies whereas James does no such thing. Note: I’m not some anarchist but I am all for freedom from the corrupt and stressful system most of us are forced to live in.

[@keepmywifesnameoutyomouth6373]

I think that’s what Kate liked about him. Jack was too righteous and judgemental at times while Sawyer respected Kate’s freedom to explore.

[@USGrant-hq5st]

GOATED

[@guyledouche4918]

The answer to the titular question is "handsome stubble." That's how.

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

The more he grew that stubble, the more audiences loved him! 😆 Sawyer had by far the best stubble although Jack gave him a challenge every now and then. Even Locke had his moments!

If I could please be so bold. May I request you do a series on Battlestar Galactica If you have watched it any enjoy it as much as lost?

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

I really love BSG too! But I don’t know it as deeply as I do LOST, so not sure if I could make a comprehensive analysis series like I have with this. Plus, I’ve got my work cut out for me covering the entire series right now so not sure when I would have the time to dive into another show. A channel called Rowan J Coleman made a cool BSG retrospective that covers the broadstrokes of the series really well. Worth checking out! 🙏

[@mycabbages3538]

In real life Sawyer should go to prison for murder and all his cons. But in tv land I love him.

And in TV land, you see his origin, and what happened to him as a kid humanizes him so much. He's a straight up murderer but he's very complicated.

I love you and this channel but it will take approximately 10 years to cover the entire series at this pace. If this is the plan nw cos I'll be watching lol.

[@LOSTEXPLAINED108]

Yes, it’s going to be a long term project for sure. I wish I could go faster and drop a few videos every month but it just takes time to script, record and edit a single video, then sometimes KZbin’s copyright system holds my videos in limbo for 30 days until they get cleared. So, one a month is as good as I can get it right now. That’s not to say that won’t ever change - I might start making the videos shorter in length (maybe 15 mins) so they can be completed in a faster turnaround. The best way to look at this schedule for now is that every month for the foreseeable future you will get a cool LOST related treat. It will be something to look forward to and to savour. I know we live in the instant gratification age, and I worry that one guide a month will put people off starting it at all, but once I have covered all of Season One I’m sure more fans will start bingeing through the guide and investing in long term interest in the project. In a meta way, the channel gets to stay true to the old school drip-feed spirit of LOST, where we had to wait patiently for new episodes. I’m hoping that people stay invested in the channel 🙏

[@skengdaddy]

@@LOSTEXPLAINED108 "In a meta way, the channel gets to stay true to the old school drip-feed spirit of LOST" haha that's so accurate ! Please no writers strike ! The YT content system is a nightmare. I really enjoy hearing you break down the show so however long it takes I'm down, bud.

[@TheDreamer1980]

Sawyer was my favoutite character from the start but it was obvious why he was like the way he was , i hated how cheesy and goofy he became around season 3 though , loved seeing him happy feeling part of the group and finally belonging like when they got the camper van runnning but his character also got a bit too cheesy and now watching lost again, i think its just the way he chose to play it... That often happens with actors, after a few years they cant find whatever it was that they initislly found to play the part ., very underrated actor though his acting never dropped in quality , jack might of been " Better" But he was just as much of an arsehole in his own way , massive ego and control issues

[@melissasalazar5297]

Thank you for your work 🫡 I was looking forward to this episode for a month!

[@commie_maybe]

I've done 180s on plenty of characters. But to go from wishing they would just pin him down and hurt the bassded until he gave up the inhalers, to shipping him and Juliet with my heart swelling out of my chest... But even when I hated him, I saw myself in him. My hostile, self-destructive side that I'm not the slightest bit proud of. But I could relate nonetheless. So I was always kinda intrigued by him even at his lowest moments. That's probably why I ate up all of his redeeming qualities. It reminded me how much better life is when you don't keep stubbornly tanking yourself with poor decision-making and just be the better person you know you can be if you just choose to be. Woah. I'll stop here. This is KZbin, not a therapy session. lol. Thanks for the video. 🫡
