Lost - 6x14 The Candidate - Reaction

[@stillinhere]

Can I just admire Suraj for his poker face for the last couple episodes while they gushed over Sun and Jin?

[@LrnecBuma]

You could say he has had a lot of practice for 6 seasons

[@northwind2538]

When Rana mentioned Sun and Jin getting back together 4 episodes before the end, and Nikki said "Just tell me who's gonna die" before they get on the sub, I could tell he was just fighting it so hard.

[@SamuelDJCox]

Kate getting shot and Nikki still being mad is just so HILARIOUS! 13:20 I love Kate as a character, don't get me wrong, but that was comedy gold...

[@triskanreacts9887]

I am not ready to do this... really, I'm not. This is the kind of episode that makes you regret not doing reaction vids all those years ago just to immortalize your immediate feelings to an instant classic of television.

[@chanceneck8072]

Exactly! But how can you now that to such degree in advance?....

[@chanceneck8072]

Exactly! But how can you now that to such degree in advance?....

[@victorsixtythree]

Yeah, it's such a shame that reaction videos weren't a thing back then. At least we have The Normies (and others!) reacting to Lost now.

[@DanY-gx2dv]

1x2: Sawyer accuses Sayid of causing the plane to crash. 6x14: Sayid blows himself up to save the others because of Sawyer. Suisayid!

[@Jloneski]

🤯

[@ricardo__gordon]

Props for Matthew Fox on his role! His face and crying near the ocean it's so moving! Get's me everytime! I almost can feel his pain...all he has been through!

[@bahaaelias6780]

the saddest scene in this show, I CAN'T FORGET the first time I've seen it 10 years ago.

[@TGND333]

There is just no way that anyone could leave their lover to die like that in that situation. To live with that by yourself for the rest of your life would be way too much of a burden. He couldn't tell anyone what really happened. And he could never tell his daughter, "She was trapped in a sinking sub and I just left her to die.".

[@bboynava1812]

TGND333 I would leave my lover just to take care of my daughter. Hard decision.

[@bboynava1812]

TGND333 I would leave my lover just to take care of my daughter. Hard decision.

[@victorvillanueva124]

I totally support his decision to stay. It would have hit me wrong if he chose to leave. I think people who say he should’ve abandoned Sun are cold-blooded.

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

Considering I know what it's like to love someone so much that just the thought of living without them is too much to bear... Yeah, there's not a chance I would ever leave her, for ANYTHING, not even if the world depended on it. There's no way I could live after that, I wouldn't be able to raise a daughter if I couldn't even live myself. But yeah, these are some of the reasons I don't want a child to begin with.

[@tkeez]

God, Nikki and Rana's faces. This show man. It's special. We all sob at the Jin & Sun scene and them breaking down at the end (God when Hurley goes) but that Jack and John conversation is also heartbreaking and so well done in every way.

[@aaronia8092]

This episode has one of the best scripts in the whole series... how everything has been perfectly set up to put our characters in a situation where Jack finally knows exactly what's going on, but no one believes him (parallell to season 1 Locke). The interaction between Jack and Locke in the flash-sideways is also so well interweaved... And finally, the episode explores one of the most interesting thematics: "trust" or "faith". Our heroes are defeated and broken by one of the longest cons ever in the show...

[@Sennesation]

Life and Death by Giacchino always hits hard. Always. Hauntingly beautiful.

[@notoriousbmc1]

*Kate gets shot* Nikki: 'In the way again eh, Kate?' Nikki on brand for two years, now XD

[@ShizuruNakatsu]

Someone: *Shoots Kate* Nikki: "Me! That is so me!"

[@caloaceituno]

Suraj dressed black, well played my friend.

[@szeltovivarsydroxan9944]

This was the first time I openly sobbed at any form of media. I don't know what happened. I fucking loved Sun & Jin. This was heartbreaking af.

[@verinonrenthar9176]

The girls are going to absolutely lose it during the finale. I feel like they've loved Lost more over time, whereas the Hogwarts team is loving the show less over time. Papa Brian, if you're reading this, it's not your fault!

[@itsfriday9139]

yea,,

[@snow35340]

I feel like Hogwarts busy schedules is what's hurting them too. It's hard to stay emotionally invested in a show you only watch every few weeks at a time. Especially one as complicated as Lost. I feel like Hogwarts herself is still invested though. But Jeremy is done.

[@Tenpinmaster]

@@snow35340 yeah because jeremy is the only one realizing that the final season is bullshit..the only smart one of them.. others who are TO EMOTIONALLY INVESTED dont realize how dumb this Show becomes from the Start of Season 6 to its Finale..

[@Patrick76399]

If they are crying over this episode imagine how much more they will cry during the series finale... especially the final scene.

[@FrshChees91]

They're really liking the first few episodes of season six, though

[@Hammy_1018]

I remember watching this episode as it aired. I was in a room with 5 other grown men. We were all bawling like babies by the end. This show, man. This show.

[@apatel478]

Yelling at Kate for getting shot 😂😂😂. Next episode is gonna be...different. I loved it, but not everyone did.

[@BooneLuleyo]

Across the Sea is a great one. Different for sure but amazing.

[@gabrielleroux2333]

Yeah, Nikki is the fucking WORST

[@YoureRightIThink]

I want to point out that in the first episodes Locke got his legs back after the plane crash while in the sideways he lost them because of the crash, I just realized

[@snow35340]

dozens of re-watches and I never noticed that. thank you!

[@endorphinzz]

This was an episode of sacrifices... - Sayid sacrificed himself so that everyone else could live and to help guarantee the smoke monster would never leave the island. - Jin sacrificed himself to try and rescue Sun and to make sure she would not be alone when she died. - Sun was sacrificing herself to make sure Jin would live and their daughter would have at least one of them in her life. - Frank sacrificed his career as an extra on Burt Reynolds movies.

[@mcjiishy]

THERE IS NO SAYID!!!!! lmao just the way he says it tho

[@HeroesNights]

This is easily one of the most emotional episodes of the show for me. I cry every time, but for some reason THERE IS NO SAYID makes me laugh

[@george5954]

wtf you guys 😭 Jack saying that makes me so sad lmao rip. It's like he's accepted that he's dead -- like on the helicopter when he told Sun that Jin was gone

[@einootspork]

there is no sayid there is only ZUUL

[@traanels]

Who else but Hurley!

[@lstarsabb]

After all this time Jake is still terrible with his delivery.

[@khellendross3573]

certainly one of the more depressing hours of television. This was a total Joss Whedon move man. It reminds me of a similarly positioned episode of Angel in their final season.

[@sansastark5810]

which one? not fade away? boy, angel s5 is still my favorite season of any show ever. i know it had its flaws but wow, that final speech makes up for it in ways no other show will ever touch. imagine how brilliant if cordy was still there

[@khellendross3573]

@@sansastark5810 Not Fade Away was the series finale. The episode I am thinking of is Hole in the World.

[@sansastark5810]

@@khellendross3573 ohhhhh..... yeah.... i've totally repressed that whole eps for the sake of my mental sanity lol. that "why can't i stay" line was so painful to watch :(

Khellendross There's a hole in the world. Feels like we ought to have known

[@Crinbo]

sansa stark Idk if Angel S5 *does* have its flaws tbh It’s pretty perfect

[@lucasdolding6924]

Don't know if you guys discuss this in future reactions, but we already know that Eloise knows so much because of Daniel's journal that she got off him after she killed him in 1977, which would have documented a lot of important things about stuff that happened after that up to 5x14 in real time (2007) since Daniel had been on the Island, hence her line to Penny "for the first time in a long time I have no idea what's going to happen". She understands the nature of the Sideways likely because she's already awakened and she warned Desmond off from pursuing Penny because she was afraid of Daniel moving on with them likely because she hasn't had enough time to fix their relationship, similar to Ben's reason to staying behind, which was implied by her line to Desmond "are you going to take my son?" While her character's nature has a more complex explanation in the real world, her Sideways explanation is more human and simplistic, while presented to the audience as similarly confusing as her first appearance back in 3x08; the writers did a nice subversion of her character in the Sideways.

[@Erlisch1337]

how did I not realize that journal thing lol

[@raivichalves]

I will never forget the writers for not putting "Its never been easy" in Jack's lines responding to John in flashsideways.

[@raivichalves]

I meant "forgive"

[@bigpictureguys8415]

“What makes you think letting go is so easy?” “It’s not.. in fact, I don’t really know how to do it myself…and that’s why I was hoping, that…maybe you could go first.” One of my favorite Lost dialogue exchanges

[@SmallScreenReactions]

I honestly hurt to watch this episode again! I can't stop sobbing and I remember how it felt when I first saw this episode. I am feeling so bad for you guys!

[@shortstuff780]

This was the one episode of lost where I took a week break. I couldn't even continue. It killed me. This, Penny/Desmond(The Constant), and not Penny's Boat are the 3 episodes that tears me up every time... I just wanna give all 3 of you guys a hug. This episode is tough

[@deadpool575]

One of the hardest deaths to get through for sure

[@Nullafy]

The quiet after the episode ended. Right there with you 😭 show finale coming 🤯

[@dustinbrown5181]

It's okay Nikki we know that you actually love Kate. That shit was still hilarious though.

[@quiz3417]

The silence after that ended lol too real to say ANYTHING...

[@nikkfrostt]

When people tell me they couldn't get through Lost, I think of intense scenes like this. It's unfortunate that some people couldn't stick it out to see how great the show can be.

[@azizsaleh8470]

The fact that suraj cried tells you the show is phenomenal even if you watch it infinitely 😭💔

[@Stupranos]

This was the moment I truly knew the show was on its final days.

[@felipealejandro225]

Despite all the bad character arc Sayid had on Season 6, he died as a fucking HERO, finding redemption for the bad things he did on this Season (supporting the Man in Black). Also, remember the past episode when the MiB ordered Sayid to kill Desmond? At that point, Sayid was at the same spot as Michael on Season 2 (they have to do horrible things in order to get someone back), but the difference is that Sayid did the right thing and didnt kill Desmond, and I think that somehow that conversation with Desmond healed him from that sickness or darkness that he had since he came back to life RIP Sayid, Jin and Sun

[@keshaponso2034]

Nikki- I used to be the biggest Kate hater.All she was good for was getting captured and being in a love triangle. It was season 5 with her whole mother arc thast I actually started loving her. But I do get your mindset. I think the writers really restored her character in the later seasons.

[@juanitajones6900]

I hated Kate for keeping Aaron away from his grandmother for so long. And I dislike the fact that so many fans romanticize her act of child abduction.

[@maxguerrero1987]

I Have made sure to watch y’all every Tuesday ! I am on a mission trip in Mexico , just got done for the day and the first thing I had to do was watch y’all ! Normally from Texas ... which is why I say “ y’all “

[@markmckeown87]

I was at LOST2014 but sadly can't make it to this year's. You can probably contact Kelley via the website and mention your channel and whatnot! I'm sure she could fit you in somewhere.

[@JaayeDee]

Person of interest is such a good show! I think rana & Nikki would love it , they just need to give a chance just like they gave the 100 & avatar the last air bender a chance , but that’s just my opinion

[@pinecone5089]

The first season is a bit of a slog, especially for reaction videos. There is a lot of character work in there, but the show really takes off in season 2 and never lets up. And has an incredible finale. Man, I miss that show

[@robertspain3742]

To be honest, it is the best show to watch but it is CBS and I bet CBS is a bitch to react to.

[@Jeremy-jm3fe]

PoI is better than Lost

[@victorvillanueva124]

Locke, submarines and C4 equal the cleverest and cruelest of S6 callbacks. I always sob at the end when Jack sobs. Matthew Fox’s performance in the last season is sublime.

[@ookingdomstaroo]

Waited so long for them to get to this episode. Still cried even when it's all clipped... Ahh Lost is amazing!!

[@mindpretzel4974]

Watched this reaction at work. Had to hide the tears while I typed away as if something heartbreaking wasn't happening.

[@zaandarbrow]

SAYID Had The coolest redemption !

[@drag0nzownu]

Person of Interest, Fringe, The Good Place, and/or The Leftovers are all really good options post-Lost.

[@TJMalana]

Desperate Housewives, and maybe Once Upon A Time could be a great show if they like comedy drama and or fantasy fairytales.

[@BooneLuleyo]

Person of Interest contains some of the best episodes on a television show EVER. That show is so criminally underrated. For me it's Jonathan Nolan's best work. Better than Westworld. Don't @ me.

[@ccchhhrrriiisss100]

Well, that level of emotions escalated quickly! This is one of the most heart-breaking episodes in TV history.

[@SmallScreenReactions]

I've now rewatched your reaction to this episode 4 times and I'm still crying and can't stop because you guys are crying

[@FilmVersionSoundtracks]

I didn't see a reaction like this not even for Ozymandias... that shows just how underrated this show and this episode alone are!

Do you all realize how many survivors Jack Sheppard saved time and again. Greatest hero of all time.

Matthew Fox is fantastic! He’s the perfect role for Shepherd. I wish he could return to acting again!

[@bongokhrusha]

This stretch of 4 episodes is amazing

[@eddiefisher3093]

Yes it was. Season 6 was a bit shaky at the start but really picked up. And episode 11 to 14 are so good

[@nodiggity4283]

I remember reading the reason The sun and Jin reunion was so underwhelming because they were saving the payoff for the sub scene

[@rxtsec1]

Also they chose to kill them along with Sayid because they wanted to have a real villain who was truly a threat to the main characters

[@ricksterdrummer2170]

rxtsec1 Exactly! At first I thought MiB was kinda meh.... I liked Widmore more (see what I did there) as a villain, but after Jin and Sun died I reaaaaaaaally wanted MiB to die! haha

[@rxtsec1]

I've said it a few times but the man of faith Jack became amazes me. He knew they would have been safe had Sawyer listened to him. He didn't even want to get off the island and only got on sub cause Kate got shot

[@ranieresofia4995]

This episode was a punch in the stomach. I cried so much when a watched it.

This is the first time I ever cried due to a TV Show. It truly felt like the beginning of the end.

[@vickster5001]

I’m rewatching Lost for the first time since it aired. This loss made me cry so much originally and I’ve just rewatched today and cried again. It’s so sad, but they at least died together. Easily my favourite couple on lost.

this episode is an emotional punch to the stomach. I love. love. love. L O V E. Jack and Locke's conversation in the hospital. "I was hoping that maybe you could go first" cues a fresh sob out of me every single time. Flash Sideways John breaks my heart. but he does have Helen

[@chanceneck8072]

[@ashleyrose5067]

Something just hit me, I think their is a parallel of Syed because I'm rewatching it with my sister and in S1 Syed friend was suppost to blow himself up and he asked him to do it with him, but we all know that was a setup and his friend killed himself and he regretted it. Maybe that was his redemption to safe everyone?

[@jonathanpowell7256]

You should definitely react to Person of Interest as it's an amazing show. The showrunner was Westworld's Jonathan Nolan and the composer for the series was Ramin Dwadi.

[@pinecone5089]

PoI is the spiritual predecessor to Westworld, only the humans in it don't suck. I also think POI explores the idea of artificial intelligence in its purest form better than Westworld. No robots, just code and computers replacing flesh and blood.

[@einootspork]

I just realized that Locke was able to walk again after a plane crash, and in the flash-sideways Locke lost his ability to walk after a plane crash...

[@pinecone5089]

Person of Interest is an AMAZING show. Jimmy Macram watched it and I think he really liked it... It is a little slow to start off, but the show just takes flight in season 2. And they stick the landing with a brilliant finale. 9.8 on IMDB and completely deserving of that rating

[@bigpictureguys8415]

Having my favorite dialogue exchange immediately after Sun & Jin’s death is wild. We go from their death to that Locke & Jack dialogue in the hospital? Insane

Then they all mourn on the beach for them and Sayid and the episode ended. I turned the TV off and bawled for several minutes. Heartbreaking!

[@TJMalana]

Look at this. Even Suraj teared up during Sun and Jin's death scene despite the fact he's seen the episodes before. I still tear up everytime I see that episode. And I THOUGHT 6x09 "Ab Aeterno" started answering Nikki's question about what the island is based on Jacob's conversation with Richard during Richard's flashbacks. The next episode will dive much deeper into the Island's mythology.

I get that this is a devastating moment but did Rana seriously just suggest they open a window, let water in, and toss the bomb out?! Does no there know how water pressure works?
