Mine would have to be the first flash forward. Either that or the first time you realize Locke was in a wheelchair. Seminal moments.

The flash forward blew me away. I did not see it coming, despite the clues sprinkled through the episode. I think it was the episode that really showed just how great a show Lost is.

Mine was Locke’s father showing up on the island

I was literally taken aback by the flash-forward – like a commenter before me, I didn’t see it coming despite the hints and clues. But I remember watching the fourth season finale with two good friends and a bunch of snacks in my dorm room, and all throughout the episode I found myself yelling out loud with each plot twist, gasping as characters did crazy things, and moving closer to the TV in the hopes of picking up on more plot intricacies. That finale, for me, was the epitome of “jaw-dropping”.

i think the best jaw dropping moment of lost was either kate having Aaron as her “son” or Sayid working for ben as an assasin in the future.

both moments me just go WTF?!

when you find out that Locke’s father was the reason he was paralyzed because he threw him out of an 8 stories window!

Aside from the first flash forward, which defined a jaw-dropping moment, I’d say Michael killing Ana Lucia & Libby or Locke getting thrown out the window by his old man were shocking scenes.

when hurley & sawyer bury Nikki & Paolo alive without knowing…. creepy yet they deserved it! hahahaha

Charlie finally dying after dodging the bullet so many times.

LOCKE IN THE COFFIN!!!!!!

Keamy killing Alex right in front of ben!

so sad & shocking! =(

finding that creepy ageless dude on the window waiting for baby locke. The music, the reveal was really well done!

when locke finds out through Christian…. that he has to MOVE[!!] the island!!!!!!!

For me it was Charlie contacting Penny and then giving his life for the rest of them. I also marveled at the flash forwards that put Sayid in the employ of future Ben.

and buddy, it’s 5th season premiere, not 4th…

I’d have to go with Charlie dying underwater. I guess it wasn’t as shocking since he’d been running from death’s grip so many times…but still, he was my favorite and to see him go was tough. But at least he got a nice send off and didn’t die for nothing!

the frreighter exploding with Jin on it while sun screams bloody murder!

Come on addict could there have been anything better than when we found out claire and jack were brother and sister…..it still feels unreal

My favorite jaw dropping moment was the flash forward in the season 3 finale. I don’t think the show will ever be able to top that moment.

I would say when Libby was shot. So unexpected after Anna Lucia got plugged in the gut seconds prior.

Had to be when the island moved…I mean how the heck do you do that!

My favorite jaw-dropping moment without a doubt is when Jack yelled, ‘We have to go back!’ to Kate at the end of season 3. So so good!!

The Constant, when everything comes together at the end, with Penny and Desmond talking on the phone. Absolutely brilliant, absolutely jaw-dropping.

When Charlie wrote on his hand that it wasn’t Penny’s boat as he was underwater. One of the best “we’re screwed/jaw-dropping” moments.

When the light went on in the hatch. You realized that there was much more going on than what was apparent.

Now its not original but the flashforward. After a less than stellar season they really got the show back on track and shocked the whole audience.

I’m with everyone who said the first flashforward. A few others that are up there for me are
* finding out that Jack and Claire are related
* Libby in Hurley’s mental institution
* Jack and Desmond meeting at the stadium

When the island freaking disappears/moves!

jaw-dropping moment, on lost, hum, like i have any choice other than the moment i became a true believer of lost, when the show return full force creatively after the three months hiatus during season three and ended with the game-changing twist – introducing flashforward in “Through the Looking Glass”

favorite jaw dropping moment is definitely when Sayid comes back from digging up Henry Gale’s grave and we find out that Ben is in fact an Other. Ben has become such an integral part of the show and this is really where it all begins.

when I realized in the season 3 finale that it was a jack flashforward not back. My mind was officially blow! It was the moment where we realized that people actually get off the island.

My favorite shocking moment is when we found out just why/how the plane crashed in the first place, starting everything.

The most jaw dropping moment had to be when you saw the dossiers that the “Others” had on all the survivors, meaning they have contacts on the main land. They knew Jack’s life story, they new Sawyers real name. They even proved to Jack that Boston won the World Series

I’d have to agree that the first flash forward isprobably it. But a very close second for me, actually, is the series’ opening sequence, from Jack waking up through our long, insane first look at the chaos on the beach.

I’m addicted to Lost spoilers so some things weren’t that big of a surprise. For me the biggest jaw dropping moment was in the beginning finding out that Locke was in a wheelchair before crashing on the island,

I’d say, Michael shooting Ana Lucia and Libby. Or Charlie’s death, I cried like a baby and still miss the character. Long live Charlie! lol

Mine would totally be when Kate stepped out of the darkness in the season 3 finale Through the Looking Glass! Sent chills down my spine!

When Michael shot Ana Lucia and Libby in quick succession. I’d never seen two characters offed at the same time like that.

Any scene with Kate on the beach is hot !!

When the island disappeared! I think my jaw might still be hanging open from that moment.

As most others have said I would agree that the end of Through the Looking Glass has to be it. When Jack yelled “We have to go back!” Wow! That scene alone was emmy worthy.

Mine would most definitely have to be the flash-forward sequence. It blew me away and took me completely by surprise.

I know a billion people have said this now, but that first flash forward was unbelievable. I don’t think I’ve ever anticipated a show’s return more than I did after that last scene between Jack and Kate.

A few others that stick out:
–finding out Jack and Claire were related
–Charlie’s final message to Desmund (“NOT PENNY’S BOAT!”)
–Danielle and Alex’s boyfriend (I forget the kid’s name) getting gunned down this season caught me completely off guard. I sort of expected the boyfriend to get killed, I didn’t think Danielle would.

This whole show is one big “OH SHIT!” moment though

This is cliche but it has to be the “We have to go back” ending to season 3. Hands down the craziest thing on TV ever. Other than Seth Rogen dating a tranni on Freaks and Geeks.

Since #1 is obviously “We have to go back, KATE!” I’ll put #2 as the Island ACTUALLY moving. I thought it would just be some turn of phrase but when the Island just blooped into nothingness… my jaw literally did drop.

In a different category, the best moment ever on LOST was the Penny/Desmond conversation at the end of “The Constant.” How in the world did that not get LOST the Emmy for best drama? Time Magazine named it the best episode of the year so that’s a small consolation.

Keep us guessing, LOST! Can’t wait until Jan21.

It’s hard to choose just one. But one image is still haunting me to this day. Second episode when Locke throws the knife at the chair Sawyer sits in and says “We hunt!”. That image is still very, very rememberable to me.

My jaw dropped most I think when Ben let Keamy and the Mercenaries kill his daughter Alex. I was equally shocked in the same episode, when we find out that Ben controls the black smoke monster (or is at least keeping it captive) and sets it out on the mercenaries.

Three come to mind – the island moving, Desmond travelling through time and knowing he is doing it, and finding out that Ben controls the black smoke. Can’t wait for the next season to see what they come up with.

my pick for most surprising moment would have to be jack and claire being brother and sister. I have watched a few episodes over the years hopefully if I win this it’ll spark my interest some more to watch more of the seasons lol

SO MANY. THE FIRST FLASH FORWARD. BEN BEING THE LEADER OF THE OTHERS. DESMOND’S FLASHES TO THE FUTURE. CHARLIE’S DEATH.

i can’t decide!

Hmm… Toughie. I remember being shocked when Keamy shot Alex. That was awful. I also didn’t really think that Sawyer would kill Locke’s father. And of course the flash forward!

Seeing that Locke’s father is the same with Sawyer’s nemesis. And also finding him on the island.

I’d say its a toss up between the discovery of the Others being “actors” and finding Sun at Jin tombstone.

Wow, I was actually planning on stop visiting my favourite TV websites (your’s included) to avoid Lost spoliers, so thanks so much for not spoiling my favourite show!

My favourite jaw dropping moment was the season three opening scene, when we see The Others’ ‘living area!’

That was an amazing moment.

My first jaw-dropper was Locke’s wheelchair. My first scream-out-loud jaw-dropper was the flash forward.

The entire season was pretty jaw dropping, but there were a few times where I couldn’t believe what I was watching:
1 – Kate “seeing” Claire in Aaron’s bedroom in the flashforward,
2 – Sawyer jumping from the helicopter
3 – the first glimpse of Locke in the coffin!

This season:
Good jaw-dropping moment: Penny and Desmond actually reuniting. I really never expected that to happen.
Bad jaw-dropping moment(s): The quick and brutal way they got rid of Rousseau and Alex. =(
But my favorite all-time jaw-dropper would be Walt’s kidnapping by the “boatbilly” Others.

For me, the best jaw-dropper would have to be the first, finding out Locke was in a wheelchair! It’s almost like in that moment, I knew why I was drawn to the show! A close second would be finding out Locke’s dad was the original Sawyer!

I read way too many spoilers before season 3 finale, so I knew about flash forwards. But Michael killing Ana and Libby-didn’t see that coming. Also, Benry showing Sawyer the other island was pretty shocking to me.

WOW there’s 60 comments. I have no chance

Taking the awful Nikki and Paolo story and condensing it into one entertaining episode.

The flash forward…. “We have to go back, Kate!”

I know that the flash forward was spectacular and so was Lock in a wheelchair but the biggest jaw dropping moment where I literally scream at the TV. HOLY CRAP. was when Michael shot Libby. Rumors were going around about Ana and Lost had the habit of doing a flashback episode when a character died but when the camera slowly goes back to Michael with the gun and suddenly spins around to Libby, two quick shots. I scream Holy Crap.

The first time you ealize it was a flash forward was probably my most jaw-dropping moment but the moment of the show I will never forget? “We’re here for the boy.” End of season 1. That season finale scared the bejeezus out of me and my best friend. When the credits finally rolled on that episode we realized that even though we started out on opposite ends of the couch we were now huddled together in the middle holding onto our blankets for dear life. THAT is quality television.

Mine had to be the moment in “Flashes Before Your Eyes” when the jewelry store clerk tells Desmond that he’s not supposed to buy the ring for Penny. That’s my favorite episode so far. Trippy.

Jeremy Bentham! ‘Nuff said!

The Oceanic 6 (+ Frank and Desmond) being rescued by PENNY!!! The moment she looks over the side of the boat I screamed and cryed at the same time! After everything else that had happened on the season 4 final I couldn’t believe they had more twists to offer.

I think the best jaw-dropping moment so far is the slow reveal shot where we realize that Locke was the guy in the wheelchair. Years later, it’s still one of my favorite tv memories.

Nikki & Paolo buried alive was the best!

oh come on guys its honestly best shocking moment on lost… and they totally deserved it. which is hilarious!

thank you hurley & sawyer!
