'You're not John Locke. Even when he pretended he wasn't scared, I could tell he was'.

Does anyone remember (or can find video evidence) of the scene when Sawyer confronts possessed John Locke and asserts that he isn't the real John Locke because 'even when he pretends he's not scared, I can tell he is/see it in his eyes' or something to that effect?


I watched the series over a decade ago and that scene stood out to me yet I can't find a clip or any reference to it online.

Lost reference in Southpark?

Did not find the answer in the wiki, so turning to fellow redditors: I remember an episode of Southpark where someone surprisingly appearing out of the bushes matched the same plot device in Lost, including the "rattling" subnoscript. Was it a dream, a real memory, or just the island?

Alternate Ending Idea...

Before I say anything else: I love the ending and I don't think it needs to be corrected/fixed/changed.

However \- I sometimes think about how much I like the way that season 5 ended. The ambiguity of 'did they set off the bomb?' 'does the plane never land?' 'what does this mean for time paradox' all that stuff - I just sometime wonder if they had found a way to close a lot of the Jacob/MiB narrative before, what if they could have ended the entire series with the incident? Something like... They somehow combine Season 5 and 6 plot narratives to climax at the end of six, in which some characters are defeating MiB, while others are trying to prevent hte crash from ever happening, and then in the END MiB is defeated, but the bomb also goes off, so there's ambiguity as to whether any of that narrative ends up playing out in the first place?

I think about other shows' endings (I won't name them so as not to spoil anything) in which there were more ambiguous endings (a famous HBO anti-hero show comes to mind) and how much I liked them, AND how they were better received.

Again, I love how LOST has the pilot and End as thematic bookends and it all lines up really beautifully for me, but sometimes I think about my favorite shows and movies and about narrative choices, and I can't help but think out loud. I know how half-baked this is, but wondering if others have thought about this.

I'm going to be including some of this discussion over the coming seasons in The Millennial TV Podcast in my spoilery musings segment, the podcast is currently on Season 1.
