A cliffhanger is a shocking or surprising moment in a series. Here are our top 5 “Lostien” cliffhangers. This choice is obviously subjective and everyone will have their own, feel free to share yours in the comments.
THE EXILES (Season 5, Episode 1)
In 1977, Professor Chang (a character already seen in the DHARMA Project films) wakes up and gives the baby a bottle. He then goes on set to explain what the arrow station is on the island for.
However, he is interrupted by a worker who has come to tell him about a problem with the orchid station under construction. After the job is cut off, we find out that one of the workers is… Daniel Faraday!
Faraday, a character introduced in the previous season, is a physicist who specializes in time travel and finds himself at a time when the DHARMA Project is in full swing.
Faraday also visits Desmond under the trapdoor to tell him that he is “special” and that the island’s time jumps have no effect on him! Another surprise for that season premiere titled original version because you left.
FALLEN FROM THE SKY (Season 1, Episode 19)
In Deus Ex Machina (Falled from the Sky in VF), the episode mainly sees Loki and Boon trying to open the trap to discover its secrets. After having a strange vision and stabbing Boone while trying to climb a tree, Loki is left alone at the trap door at night and cries, complaining that his efforts have not been rewarded. And suddenly the hatch lights up!
Even if it will take several episodes to discover what is hidden in the trap, this moment in the first season was able to create a surprise with the well-worn effect of “light in the dark”.
Symbolically, this is another step in Loki’s journey to never again deviate from his credo: “The island expects something from us”, “Fate brought us to him”. The confrontation with Jack on this topic will offer viewers some of the most delicious moments of tension in the series. The end of the season will end with the opening of the hatch.
blocking! (Season 2, Episode 17)
The mysterious Henry Gale, a prisoner of the island’s survivors and held in a bunker, is not what he seems after all. Thanks to Sayid, the manipulative and calculating character played by Michael Emerson was finally removed.
Died on the island after a bad airship trip, Henry Gale was buried there. When Syd and his gang find his balloon, they also find a corpse, the body of a man named… Henry Gale! But who occupies their bunker in this case?!
That’s the question that ends the episode, which also sees “Henry Gale” (Ben) helping John Locke with a blown door that could have crushed him. In return, Ben makes Locke promise to protect him from Sayid “no matter what”. From a masterly talented manipulator. Note that the original title is a play on words: Strict isolation Literally means “locked up”, but can also be taken to mean that Loki is below : on the spot.
THE MESSENGER (Season 4, Episode 11)
cabin fever is one of those episodes during which “Lostie” Have your brain twisted with the possibilities that come with the new information released by the screenwriters. In this episode, Locke enters Jacob’s cabin and talks to Christian, Jack’s father (actually Black Smoke).
“Christian” claims to care for Claire and asks Locke what he really wants. Loki comes out of the cabin and tells Ben and Harley that he will have to “move the island”.
How can an island move? How does Christian, who arrived dead on the island, stand against Loki? What is Claire doing in this cabin? Where did baby Aaron go? So many questions that will remain unanswered for some time, except for the first one, which will be resolved at the end of Season 4 and will have important consequences for the next season.
BEYOND THE GLASS (Season 3, Episodes 22 and 23)
double episode Looking through the glass Viewers are made aware that the series contains flash-forwards that present events not in the past (as was the case in season 3), but in the future.
This is also the episode in which Jack lets out a cry of despair: “We have to go back!” (“We have to go back!”), where Kate leaves.
This is Charlie’s (Dominic Monaghan) sacrifice episode, after all. The latter manages to radio Penny (Sonia Walger), and Desmond’s companion has time to reveal to her that he is not on a boat approaching the island. But the room Charlie is in is flooded.
Before he drowned, he wrote on his hand for Desmond’s attention: “No Penny Boat” (“No Penny Boat”). An important moment before many “lost” A torrent of tears was shed and one of the most beautiful moments the series has to offer.
