  • I don't like Matthew Fox but he is a very good actor

  • I never really did like Jack's character but this is in the top 2 of my favorite scenes of the entire series of LOST. The other is in season 6 where Ben pleads with Illana.

  • I'll tell you why I think this is a powerful scene for Jack. He is confident and ready to lead his people into the jungle and protect them at all costs. Half a scene later, when Sawyer says, "Tell him that he's a better Doctor then he'll ever be," Jack reverts to a child. Head down, vulnerable and unsure in a split second. That is acting.

  • This moment was sad.

  • man... i wonder what DID happend if christian had called jack back. but oh well, that was part of the story. LOVE LOST!!!

  • It's moments like this that show how wonderful and iconic LOST was...at times it didn't even feel like acting, and Jack never fails to make me bawl my eyes out...He was so haunted by his father, and to see him come full circle in the last episode and get that meeting with him..That closure, was beautiful to watch....I will never forget this show and Michael Giacchino's music <33

  • absolutely touching.

  • GREATEST SHOW EVER...END OF.

  • I miss this show so much. TV will never be the same.

  • @jcslms Yep, Lost has left a big hole in my Tv watching although Breaking Bad is helping to fill that void!

  • WOW. Simply great acting, filming, and the score just takes it home. Classic work.

  • A wonderful scene...how often did Sawyer ever call Jack by his first name? It reveals a major breakthrough in the Sawyer character: some sensitivity and even humanity. This moment also revealed them to be friends as well as rivals. Both actors do some of their best work here- and this is just season 1!!

  • i love this scene one of my favourite.

  • when he says christian, BANG! hits jack and hit me the first time!

  • everyones forgetting josh hollaway as well, he showed how sawyer can be sensitive too.

  • Some say you don't choose your love. This scene makes me think sometimes you don't even choose your friends... you're just kinda stuck with them, period. Sawyer and Jack are stuck together, no matter the differences, Kate, rivalry. Even if it's hard, twisted and annoying for both of them. Love the scene.

  • I love this scene.

  • This is the best scene in LOST as far as I'm concerned. It makes me cry every time I see it. It makes me think of my Dad and it rings true. Thank you to the writers and actors of LOST for making me feel.

  • why does everyone connect wit this scene so much? Why are we so emotionally connected to this scene - after all, most people are not doctors nor are their parent(s). I enjoyed this scene, too, but I am struggling to articulate why....this extends to the whole show... Are these thoughts worldly or just plain wordy?

    It was when the show was still fresh and creative, near the end it got sloppy and LOST direction. Is that why we like this scene so much.....

  • @kappelmeister123 you are dead inside if you dont see how this scene is so great. It's not about being a doctor, It's about the relationship between a son and his father. If you don't get that then maybe you've never had diversity in your live...or maybe youre so jaded you don't have a soul....

  • @kappelmeister123 sorry I didnt read your post correctly. You love this scene as I do, you have my apologies.

  • @kappelmeister123 because every man wants to hear something from their father that they never said and its a huge moment for jack he thought his dad died hating him and sawyer told him probably the thing he wanted hear more than anything because even tho jack and his father had problems jack idolized him that prob why he became a docter or more specificly a spinal surgeon if you care about the care and can relate to them in some parts you feel how gd must have felt to hear that

  • Fantastic scene. Great acting from M Fox but then again that was the norm for the show.

    Lost was truly special. A great journey and my fav show ever on TV

    Will miss it so much. Thank you Lost

  • one of the saddest scenes in Lost,

    Matthew Fox's acting wow

  • RIP to the old show , the first two season were great, the rest just a parody, such a shame

  • Touching scene. Matthew fox' acting was sooo damn good here, wow...

  • You really gotta hand it to matthew fox in this scene.

  • J.J?

  • JJ was only apart of the series for about 5 episodes.

  • sorry you feel this way Meztiza. I still love it - I don't love everything about it, but i still think this show kicks television arse, lol.

  • @MeztizaAngie Nah, JJ made it great, and it got even better without him.

  • @MeztizaAngie J.J. has had nothing to do with the show since the end of the second episode

  • @MeztizaAngie hm well i think the series used to suck from time to time (seasons 4 and 5) but all in all it IS the best series i've ever seen

    and this scene is great. ^^

  • One of the best scenes of season 1

  • Best moment in Lost!

  • One of the most emotional scenes ever on television.

    I'd love to know the title of the piece of music that starts playing towards the end. I have most of the best tracks from the soundtrack - this would complete my collection! =)

  • @lostieforever91 I don't think its got an official name but if you type in goodbye doctor farewell conman you can listen to it

  • One of the most touching scene in Lost.

  • why did sawyer put his shirt on

  • hes not even jacked

  • Peak of LOST for me

  • emotional as tits. real hot salamander by the way

  • One of my favorites too... and one of the most tender scenes from any Lost episode. I loved it,

  • Aw.. that's sweet

  • god it feels like just yesterday i started watching LOST (I watched it all over the summer). This is prob my favorite and the best moment in lost history.

  • Great Moment!

    probably the first moment where Jack and Sawyer actually connected.

  • Very nice! :)

  • Great moment in lost history

  • sayer>jack

  • HELL NO JACK IS THE MAN

  • Sawyer is the man.

  • aww that was cute

  • they are friends they just don't want to admit it

  • I think it's really cute when sawyer tells jack he "screwed" ana lucia and jack asks him why he is telling him that and sawyer says "cos your about the closest thin i've got to a friend."

  • O Sayer really doess have a heart.

  • thats why the red socks will never win the series

  • too bad 2004 happened =(

  • What do you mean?

  • Boston beat the yankees in the ALCS and moved to win the World Series................i'm a yankee fan =(

  • Jack is Jacob. Why else would Christian and Claire hang around in the Cabin, unless they were related?

  • the producers have already said that jacob is someone we have seen before but have never heard their voice.

  • Citation needed. Got a website to show that?

    It makes sense if Jacob is Jack, similar names, they're both "leaders", they hang with their relatives. What I believe is that when the world ends, the Island is the last safe place on Earth. Jack goes back in time, and fluctutates between time and space transmuting him into Jacob, a type of non real character, almost like a ghost.

    He goes back in time, even in biblical reference times to change the outcome of the world.

  • It was on lostpedia :L

  • I read a blog on what your talking about. Send me a message if you haven't read the Jacob jack thing anywhere, the blog mentions something about the 4 toes statue. I wont give it away here. Anyways I'll just add that, Jacob is actually a hebrew name for James "Sawyers real name"

  • it doesnt make sense.......if jacob is jack how come jack wants to leave and jacob just wanna move the island and christian just brought claire for some reason if it was some "relative" thing she wouldnt leave Aaron

  • isnt jacob the hebrew name for jacob???

    i mean im not tryin to be stupid but in hebrew jacob is "yaakov" which means JACOB

  • This is a copy and paste from a google search, The boy's name James also used as girl's name James, is pronounced jayms. It is of English origin. Variant of Jacob (Hebrew) "he who supplants". Biblical: one of the 12 apostles of Jesus..

    My name is James : ) I thought for a minute I was wrong about the origin of the name haha. Interesting anyway. Im going to look into this yaakov name : ) Sayer is turning into bit of a leader lately and being stuck in the past gives him extra knowledge : )

  • sawyer is turning into a leader! i think john is jacob or maybe its someone we dont know yet!

  • we'll soon find out. I'm sticking with Sayer as Jacob : )

  • Well you know now

    Haha

  • Darn it. He looks a bit like Sayer lol

    I just found out that Jacob in the bible was renamed Israel. "The children of Israel"

    Some of the religious stuff in Lost probably has a meaning to the plot.

  • : )

  • Jacob in the Bible was renamed Israel. The Children of Israel returning to the promised land. Im not religious so I dont know all the details.

    Google Jacob Israel and you'll find loads of interesting stuff.

  • could it be henry gale? the guy ben killed ?

  • and we DID never hear his voice but seen his picture :P

  • Uh, I was talking about Jack..

  • i was talkin about jack and jacob being the same guy

  • Yeah I know, but the producers said that Jacob was a character we had seen before but not heard them speak, and we have heard Jack speak..

  • lol of course we did ....im just saying....we never heard henry speak

  • Ooh, sorry! I didn't see your comment about it being Henry Gale! Yeah, we haven't heard him speak!! I thought it could be Aaron with the whole time moving thing, cos he COULDN'T speak, but we have heard him now, when he's older so..yeah..

  • Not many tv scenes make me cry but this one is one of them. If you have stuck with Lost through the current 4 seasons then you'll know a lot about the characters and Sawyer and Jack didn't get on well in the first season and this was probably the first time that Sawyer really made amends for his attitude. It is so touching that he made sure Jack knew that is Dad was sorry for everything and that before he died he wanted more than anything to get back in touch. Really beautiful scene.

  • yeah i think so and another is the one locke was crying on the hatch and sayin "i've done every thing u want me to do so why did u do this, why?"  this one is better and made me almost cry,

    search as "The Hatch lights up" i bet u'll probably agree!!!

  • yeah i agree but watch the one that locke was crying "why did u do this to me?"  search as "The Hatch lights up" u'll agree.

  • sorry i wrote 2 times:)

  • couldn't agree with you more.

  • This is one of the best scenes of LOST ever, love it so damn much.

  • LOST is the best show ever!

  • And Jack is my favorite character on the show. I can really relate to him and his perfectionist nature. I've got the Jack action figure, and I proudly press the button to make it say "If we can't live together...we're going to die alone."

  • I've already commented on this, but I a lot of times when I'm down I think of this scene. Probably my favorite in TV history. If it doesn't get to you, you really don't have a heart. In any context, this is amazing.

  • That's not even mentioning the way he totally killed that scene where Claire is revealed to be his sister. Again like in Exodus, he managed to take a *known* fact to the audience and process the reveal in such a way that the *known* became an *unknown* all over again!

    I'm telling ya, if you get beyond the Jack hate, you might find yourself appreciating some of Fox's work. I get he might take up screen time over other "cooler" characters, but there is more to MF than his purported "Jackfaces"!

  • Fox sometimes has a tendency to overdo it but he's great at selling the big scenes and his scenes are usually the ones that stay with me - the CPR scene with Charlie, identifying his dad in White Rabbit, his nuanced performance in Do No Harm when he finally rats on his dad, his whole interaction with Sarah in MOS/MOF, his numerous showdowns with Locke and that's not even mentioning TTLG - imo one of the most powerfully evocative performances ANY lead has given on ANY show.

  • SavedByTheCarver - it's entirely subjective as to whether you think he is surrounded by better actors b/c apart from O'Quinn and Emerson, I can't think of anyone better to be honest.

  • Great scene.

  • i really love the way jack moved his face away when sawyer said "..tell him he's sorry, that he's a better doctor than he'll ever be -- .."

    great actors!! both of them.. incredible scene.. =]

  • awesome scene!intense!

  • Noone knows how close this is to my life. I remember watching it and feeling so wrecked. My dad is a doc, and it tears me up just as much as Jack.

  • great scene.

  • one of my favorate scene in season 1.

    i thought he was NEVER going to tell Jack about his father but he did which was so awesome of Sawyer. Season was all about character development, Locke is my fav, the stories he tells about his life and how they connect with his friends on the Island is just awesome.

  • this as such a powerful scene

  • this is my favourite scene from season 01

  • Amazing scene and chemistry between these two! JACK SHEPHERD IS THE MAN!

  • what a wonderful gift to a rival... that Doc don't seem to remember afterwards... Sawyer is the best!

  • Yeah, seemed like after Jack realized there were mutual feelings growing between Sawyer and Kate, Jack seemed to go straight back to square one and pulling all kinds of alpha male crap with him. Sad. Jack's loss IMO, not Sawyer's.

  • great great scene. I have played this back countless times. Such emotion!! When I first saw it, I have to admit, I did cry for a few moments. These two have a great on screen presence and work very well together. I just LOVE their scenes together. LONG LIVE LOST!!!!!

  • It doesnt get any better than that

  • MattPatProductions - I disagree; this scene actually proved to me that MF is the best dramatic actor on that show. The emotion was so palpable - you can actually *feel* every flicker of sentiment in his facial expressions. Hands down the best crier on TV and hands down the best dramatic actor on Lost. May not be everyone's cup of tea but he always SELLS the big moments and I am flabbergasted that the man has yet to be recognised professionally for his work (Emmy wise)

  • I agree with you on Mathew Fox. He's not the best actor on the show, but he is very close. :)

  • One of the best comments I've ever read!!! You totally hit the target...I completely agree with you;-D Foxy is the best of all !!!

  • Possibly my number one Lost scene of all time. Matthew Fox proves you don't have to say anything to act, and it's 100% Josh Holloway's best bit of acting he's done. Brilliant.

  • fox is not a great actor but he did this scene well.

  • Please see Miela98's comment above.

  • This scene is so sweet, i loved sawyer acting here and Mat Fox did rele well to! XxMx

  • Season one of this show freaking rocks! The writing and the acting was just awesome. I glad that they pretty much used all unknown people at the time, at least they were unknown to me. I like to see any of these twenty million a movies celebrities try to act out these scenes.

  • Definitely one of the top 5 Lost scenes ever!

  • this scene made my cry so much.

    such a touching scene.

    woah

  • Interesting that they use Charlie's heroic/redemption theme for this scene.

  • Really awesome scene! I've always loved scenes with these two together - they're both awesome actors and characters :)

    It's one of my all time favorite scenes of lost!

  • great scene... sawyer is my favorite character. season one was the best and most emotional. i hope the last 2 seasons turn out even better.

  • i remmber this.. its the best

  • wat a great scne. was so thrilled when sawyer told him. honestly tho, in season 4 i hate jack. matthew fox is a quality actor tho. sawyer is a legend

  • I love this side of Sawyer....it shows his "good" side!

  • love you sawyer

  • I love this scene. They started to show Sawyer had some humanity.

  • I can't begin saying how amazing and heartbreaking this scene is

  • This is great moment in the exodus. 5 stars for you :)

  • i love sawyer

  • Awesome moment!!!!!

  • i cant believe matthew fox dont win a emmy for this,i think this is one of the best lost moments ever.really break my heart.T_T

  • This is one of the best moments of Lost.

  • My favorite moment in the show...This scene really got to me the first time I watched it and still does. Seeing Sawyer and Jack connect is great, and the way Sawyer tells the story can only be told in his words. I love this scene and I love this show.

  • Jack: Yeah, I guess it is. Good luck, Sawyer.

    Sawyer: [pause] Jack! About a week before we all got on the plane I got to talking to this man in a bar in Sydney. He was American, too. A doctor. I've been on some benders in my time, but this guy he was going for an all time record. It turns out this guy has a son his son's a doctor, too. They had some kind of big time falling out. The guy knew it was his fault even though his son was back in the States thinking the same damn thing.

  • Jack: [starts to recognize who Sawyer's talking about]

    Sawyer: See, kids are like dogs, you knock them around enough they'll think they did something to deserve it. Anyway, there's a pay phone in this bar. And this guy, Christian... tells me he wishes he had the stones to pick up the phone, call his kid, tell him he's sorry, that he's a better doctor than he'll ever be he's proud and he loves him. I had to take off, but something tells me he never got around to making that call.

  • Sawyer: Small world, huh?

    Jack: [unable to hold back tears] Yeah...

    Sawyer: Good luck, Jack.

  • totally agree, one of the best scenes ever.

  • This is definately my favorite scene from LOST of all time. Theres nothing like this momentary connection shared between these two unlikely characters, and Jack's response is pure poetry. Thankfully, season 4 of Lost of looking to be almost as good, quite redeeming.

  • Thank you for posting.

    I agree with everyone here. When talking about the current season, it's plain that (while the show is still very good) it doesn't have the powerful character interplay that the first season had. This moment is poignant because of everything that led to it and the feeling of, "Please TELL him, Sawyer!" that we all felt as Jack walked away. When he said, "Jack!" it was a burst of elation for us and redeption for him.  Fox's silent response is beautiful. Simply the best.

  • great scene...

  • my favorite lost scene...

  • I love this scene it is one of my favorites, I can't watch it without getting emotional. They are both great actors.

  • OMG I love this clip so much! I love Sawyer! This was when he's redeemed for all the crappy things he's done.

  • 5 stars!

  • i'd forgotten about this, but its actually, i think, one of the best scenes in Lost, ever, Its beautiful. And I'm so glad Sawyer told him. I wish they could be friends.

  • I'd say they are friends now. They have a bit of a rivalry but I think they classify themselves as friends.

  • I think they are friends, I actually think their relationship with each other is much more interesting than either them have with Kate in a way. I think they have a respect for each other, an understanding. There will probably always be a rivalry a little though.

  • This is one of my favourite moments from Lost, it's such a shame that people are always pitting these two against each other when they are both great characters in their own right, with one of the most interesting relationships in Lost. I dont think one would work as well without the other.

  • Very well said.

    This is an amazing scene!

  • God I love this clip.
