The Constant

This episode was probably one of the best moments in modern television. It had all the parts: suspense, intelligence, heart, all intricately woven into a fascinating original story with a beautifully uplifting ending. I literally sat stunned on my couch for minutes after the credits rolled into commercial. Kudo's to the cast, crew, writers, editor, and director Jack Bender for making this a very enjoyable hour on Earth.

99% of todays programming is complete garbage which is why the 18 to 50 year old male demographic has left television.

Episodes like this is a good start in bringing them back.

The Constant is without a doubt the best episode of Lost ever aired to date. From the sheer mass confusion of Desmond's first flashback to the brilliance of Daniel Faraday to the raw emotion of Desmond's conversation with Penny, it was undeniably amazing from beginning to end.

An episode like this is the reason many of my friends and I, along with so many others, tune in every week, shaking with anticipation and excitement. An episode like this is the reason I fell in love with this show.

Kudos to the writers, actors and behind the scenes crew of Lost. And here's hoping that next week's episode is even better!

Having seen all but maybe 4 episodes since day one of Lost, "The Constant" might be near as good as it gets. I don't like to say things like best, but if a gun were placed to my head and I were forced to name one single best episode, it would be tonights.

No other episode since the beginning has touched on this many of the themes of Lost. Rather than the showing the present with the flash-forward/backward tying in symbolically, which is the shows usual template, this episode ties the present to the flash in a very real and deadly way, also revealing a big, nay, gigantic clue as to the island's origins. Or at least lets us in on a part of the big secret.

In it's essence, tonight's show was a well told intricate yarn, exploiting all that is best about a tight story. But it doesn't stop with a great story.

The shows finale is top shelf drama. No melodrama. I've touched on this episode's writing, and it doesn't peeter out at the end, but the greatest strength of the finale is in its emotional content. Superbly acted by the part of Desmond and a stellar but brief appearance by Juliet. Paced and edited at a perfect pace, bringing this grown man to weep like I just dropped my only bratwurst.

Without giving away to much of the ending... Fans of the show, will surely know that this "encounter", was a long, long time in coming.

What a pay-off.

Great job, cast and crew alike.

The year is 2018 and I just came through this episode. What a magnificent job they did on this episode.

I saw a little clip on you tube today of this episode. It brought back wonderful memories.

How good is this episode? You know it's something special when 99% of reviewers here saying the same exact things.

How good is this episode? They could have made a big screen movie out of this episode alone. It would have been nominated for best-picture, I have no doubt.

The music score of Lost has always propelled the show to greater heights. I don't think any other episode clearly shows how remarkable the music and plot chemistry is. It is almost as great as the chemistry between Des and Penny.

I truly believe you can make a fantastic standalone movie based out of this episode's plot.
