I love this scene so much. It's the apex of Jack's development: He's finally gone from the skeptic man of science to the main of faith, just like Locke all that time ago. It's fantastic.
Jack isn't the blind faith type Locke guy. Jack is more deductive reasoning leap of faith guy. He's a combo of faith and science. LOST's message (none to subtle either) is that there is NO 'v' there. It's NOT faith v science. It's faith AND science!
I love how Hurley says "no, I'm not going without you", he's so loyal to Jack throughout the entire show but it really stands out in the final episodes.
@@first3generation Because Locke convinced Hurley that going with them was his own idea. He wasn’t choosing sides, but made a snap decision to put an end to Jack and Lockes conflict, he cared for everyone, and all the dude ever wanted was peace.
@@Lava91point0 Exactly why he'll make a great Protector for the Island. I think Jacob kind of saw a bit of himself in Hurley. Jacob was stuck between 2 strong people, who wanted the exact opposite thing, his Mother and MiB, and he probably just wanted peace. Hurley was always stuck between Locke and Jack arguing exact opposite beliefs, and just wanted peace as well. With the Smoke Monster dead, and I assume that Darkness back with the Light now, Hurley can find balance for the Island.
I feel that even up to this point, as confident as he is, there's still a bit of doubt in Jack. When that fuse burns out..so did all the doubt. LOST is a damn treasure.
***** That's what's special about fiction, you have three cores (characters, story, setting) Breaking Bad was good with story and sometimes character, same with stuff like House of Cards or Arrow. Why LOST will always be top dog, is cuz it reflects ALL 3, something that tv shows can rarely pull off
jack is crazy he sounds like he's experimenting something that might blow up in their faces '' wanna try another stick'' i just want to slam my head into a tree
This scene is chilling and it's not because of the dynamite. The way Jack stares at Richard and the way he stares back creates a mood of uncertainty and insanity.
@@pinchechingata7424 He was active and did act in movies since he was on Lost up until 2015. So him not doing anything since Lost is not true at all. He took a break in 2015 and is back again now. And he wasn't blacklisted, just selective. You can't complain about not seeing his stuff unless you actually go see it. I'm glad we all agree he is a terrific actor, though.
Jack has such a fearful but faithful glint in his eye. He's snapped at this point but for a good reason. He's finally getting it, but he still doesn't know what, so he's still afraid. That's why he looks so unstable here and it's great acting on Matthew's part.
I remember watching it for the first time back in 2010. This show taught me to be cautious, so when the camera went to the Jack face after the fuse extinguished at 2:36 I swear I thought that after 'You wanna try another st..." there will be an explosion which will unexpectedly kill Jack midway through the final season. The camera angle was too dangerous looking.
I love Richards face there, after the fuse goes out. He's like... Wtf. of course, he really shouldn't be surprised at the information Jack just came up with, after all Richard had been given powers to live well beyond his normal natural lifetime.
John’s purpose was to make Jack a man of faith. This was so when Jacob died, Jack could kill the smoke monster. Jack’s purpose was to get rid of the monster and pass it to the man who was destined to care about people better than anyone, Hurley, aka King Hugo, Reyes litteraly means king.
Hugo was the perfect choice. On rewatches it's kinda obvious he's the number 1. I still think Mr Eko was a good character for joining in though,, Ben makes sense being number 2 but Mr Eko would have been a good Alpert replacement.
2) Confirmation of this scheme bigger than everything that he ever imagined, when he is confronted by the mirror in the Lighthouse. And that's why we see him so possessed; actually he still kept a lasting remain of skepticism, that was destroyed at last. Soon afterwards we get this magnificient moment in the Black Rock (top5 scene in Lost). Then we see a finally "converted" Jack (Shepherd), a man finally apt to comprehend everything.
Season 1, Episode 23 "Exodus": Jack: I don't believe in destiny. John: YES you do! You just don't know it yet. It took a while but Jack stopped living in denial and accepted his destiny in season 6 and in this scene, specifically.
Also, a great echo of this was when Jack was willing to detonate an atomic device and was trying to persuade Sawyer. Sawyer says, "I don't speak destiny, Doc!"
Gives me serious chills this scene, top 3 in the whole show. It’s the realisation of everything he and Locke clashed heads over and Jack’s finest moment so far - he now truly believes they were brought to the island for a reason. The soundtrack here is also absolutely phenomenal.
Richard is WRONG. He HAD a purpose in his life but he didnt see it, his purpose was to live long enough to make up to the misstake he made before, killing a man wich would lead Richard to hell. Thats why Jacob made and understod Richards and acsepted that but Richard still couldnt understand that after all these years that he made good descitions for Jacob
Jack had two key moments in the series: 1) Feeling something bigger than what his poor skepticism always pointed to - flasforward in the 3rd season finale, when he wants at all costs to return to the island.
Wanna know who extinguished that dynamite. J-A-C-O-B imagine him standing there right next to them and just looking at them bouth and pssssssssssssst he extinguished the dynamite
Consider how time-loop has been in effect (the compass is a clear example of what the candidates are going through). Smokey(fake Locke) was merely participating in what is necessary to continue the loop of the compass (Ben: Your timing was impeccable. How do you know when to be here?). You see? Smokey and Jacob knows the future that may have a limit (what I'm saying is they don't know "that" far in the future). They can only so much before things fail. and then the loops starts again. and every time it loops. They work their way to further their goal.Jack must have died a lot of times and Jacob found away to keep Jack alive by rigging this specific dynamite so that it won't explode no matter how much anyone tried. For every loop is another chance I believe.
is the reason why. Some characters can't seem to die (Richard) no matter how hard they try. There must have been an intervention from either Jacob or Smokey.
@gmoney4999 Jack was 100% right, He wasnt able to kill himself because of the rules created by Jacob, Jacob predetermined that it was Jack's destiny to become the leader, at least long enough to do what he needed to do to stop mib and save the island.
+Jamie D I know I was over thinking it at the time, but Jack lit the dynamite, was my point .. But I guess Jack lit dynamite with 100% faith and Sawyer didn't have that faith at time.
remember candidates can kill each other, bomb goes off because James touch, they were not supposed to touch as Jack said "it won't goes off cz he can't kill us" James kills sayid by touching the bomb, I mean trying to fuse it
The stick didn't blow up only because Richard is immortal, it has nothing to do with Jack. Jack eventually dies on the last episodes so he definately can be killed!
It was because of Jack. One, the island's protection doesn't mean someone literally cannot be killed. The protection is not unconditional, there's ways around it. Second, even knowing that, by the time he did die, he had completed his job by saving the island.
The scene contradicts the events on the submarine. Fact, black smoke can't kill them BUT they can kill themselves. Just as Sawyer sped up the countdown on the bomb by interfering, here Jack SELF set fire to the dynamite. Finally, the dynamite should explode. Another absurdity in the world of Lost.
For people talking about jack becomming the "man of faith" his faith is not to be confused with reasoning. He puts 1 + 1 together and makes a prediction on what probably will happen, based on what already happened and what he observed. thats actually the contrary to faith, because faith is baseless, vague and has no reasoning behind it.
@gmoney4999, if you are going to apply some faith & luck, Jack can't be 100% wrong. in this scene Jack was going for complete faith and it just so happens that luck was around the corner to save these two miserable characters.
All the seasons were fantastic, but i think season 5 is not that good. I like fantasy, how mysterious the island is, but Time Travel doesnot fit on the serie
I like how we got to see all of the moments we heard little bits and pieces of but would otherwise never see. I also like how James became a great leader and a good man, with help from Juliet.
This show, TV in general, and the Walking Dead was especially bad in this regard - they make it seem like a piece of cake to dig a grave, when it is incredibly hard work. Nobody is digging a big hole as easily as they do on screen.
The greatest thing John Locke ever did was make Jack a believer.
and the other way around. locke didnt beleive he could be fixed. jack did it. 'it worked'
11 years later, you are still right.
Bro it’s not that deep
I love this scene so much. It's the apex of Jack's development: He's finally gone from the skeptic man of science to the main of faith, just like Locke all that time ago. It's fantastic.
They never truly killed off locke. Thwy transferred his mind into jack :)
@@thelavinator6343 not so sure about that, but that's one way to look at it lol
dragoniguana you make it sound like being a man of science is a bad thing
f1fanforever it definitely isn’t but in the scope of the show denying your destiny due to skepticism only makes your life worse

lost is in a league of its own. theres no other show that produces scenes with this much tension every episode. not even breaking bad.

@@victorpradha9946 Maybe unless there's food involved.

OMG both Jack and Ben have changed exponentially and this ep shows it the best way it can!
And Sawyer, Charlie, and Jin.
Powerful stuff. I love that when Jack closes his eyes, it's the 'same' shot of him on the bridge.
Leap of faith
"No I'm not going away"
"If you change your mind I'll be like a mile awayz"

Good take on it. Also, so Hugo Reyes means Huge King?
Hugo was the perfect choice. On rewatches it's kinda obvious he's the number 1. I still think Mr Eko was a good character for joining in though,, Ben makes sense being number 2 but Mr Eko would have been a good Alpert replacement.
Jack's face and voice look crazy in this scene!
Jack: "wanna try another stick?"
Trinity: "what's happening?"
Morpheus: "he's beginning to believe"
That makes John Locke Morpheus and Others are Agents. Jacob is the Oracle and MiB is Smith.

damn i miss this show.. Season 6 was good with great back storys.. i thought it ended perfectly
season 6 was parallel stories not back story
@Kalamyti333 totally man, after this scene, he just owned. jumped from wayyyyy down on the list to my NUMBER 1 favorite character on lost...
Richard and jack are awesome charackters!
I fucking love this scene, this is the best scene in the world. period. No srsly lost is genius.
i thought about it for a VERY long time, and this is my all time favorite scene in LOST.
Same 💯
lol, it's Arzt. He was so pissed he wasn't a main character, I love it. xD
In my opinion I think he became the man of faith when Locke told Jack to lie about the island at the end of season 4.
I think the moment he saw the island disappear...that was it. That was it.
@@shizu-chan3942 That was the beginning of it YES!
I knew that Jack had become a man of faith when the new season started. The way he acted was like how Locke acted, all cool and faithful.
Jack Locke is the best version of Jack.
This is the moment where Season 5-Jack goes right to Season 1-Jack.
Love that quote - Wanna try another stick?
How does he go to season 1 Jack? Season 1 Jack would have never done this
@@elliewilliams1337 wow 11 years ago. I almost couldn't remember why I wrote this. I THINK I meant season 1-Locke. Not sure why i put Jack.

There is never any coincidences on this show, so you clearly aren't paying attention to the major themes and motifs.
1:14 I love when jack laughs on a sarcasm way😂😂😂
I'm halfway expecting a joke version of this scene.
"Wanna try another sti--"
BOOM!
MacGruber!
I'm sure someone will make that.
So basically this ENTIRE time, Jack and the other candidates could not die. That would have been pretty beneficial to know 5 seasons ago. lol
Well, except Charlie... because f-ck Charlie. :D
Charlie wasn't a candidate.
You're right butI don't recall mentioning Charlie.
If candidates cant die why did more then 95% of them lmfao?
ColdNapoleon Candidates can die, but cannot commit suicide (on this point i have some doubts) or killed by the Black Smoke.
“Want to try another sti- (BOOM!!!)” 😂😂😂
Jack's own leap of faith.
Richard is WRONG. He HAD a purpose in his life but he didnt see it, his purpose was to live long enough to make up to the misstake he made before, killing a man wich would lead Richard to hell. Thats why Jacob made and understod Richards and acsepted that but Richard still couldnt understand that after all these years that he made good descitions for Jacob
When Jack became the new Locke
This show has so many meaningful scenes. Remember the stubborn tomato?
One of the best episodes of season 6.
The writing is 👌
Richard's episode will be EPIC, it won't disappoint! MIB bitchslaps Claire to save Kate who would thought!
This is Jack’s “say my name” moment.
lol Hurley ''if you change your maind i will be like a mile away O.O''
Godddd I love this scene so freaking much!!!!
Breathtaking scene.
Jack had two key moments in the series:
1) Feeling something bigger than what his poor skepticism always pointed to - flasforward in the 3rd season finale, when he wants at all costs to return to the island.
2:36 Jack fully mantles Locke.
ben thought john locke was special, but viewers knew its going to be jack
I love when the main characters know they have plot armor.
@Hawaii04beach it's Like season 1 Jack combined with Season 1 Locke
I love season 6 from "Lost".

ya, I'm expecting the Richard ep to be one of the best of the season (if not the whole damn thang)
in this scene, they both were crazy.
jack is annoying and savage same time. But he has one admirable quality. He will do what he wants to do, his personality is more like i dont care

As soon as that fuse went out i was like "Holy shit"
I remember that
I don't know where you are getting this idea from. They can only die when the island is finished with them.
Great scene
I don't remember. What happens to Richard at the end of Lost?
He leave the island
He becomes mortal again and he leaves the island
WAAAAAAAAAAAAALT WAAAAAAAAAAAALT WHERE'S MA SON I WANT MA BOII! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL- Oh sorry wrong video

his faith is not to be confused with reasoning. He puts 1 + 1 together and makes a prediction on what probably will happen, based on what already happened and what he observed.
thats actually the contrary to faith, because faith is baseless, vague and has no reasoning behind it.
Also, he wasn't really a believer but just on a guilt trip for pushing Locke to suicide.
Then why did Sun and Jin dieeeeeeeee.
To motivate Jack and Kate to kill MiB.
I think also that Jacob killed all those secondary filler characters with the dinamate because they were not important to the plot XD. ALSO....MONEY!
So disconcerting to see Richard go from being the coolest guy in the room to frightened and suicidal
@gmoney4999, if you are going to apply some faith & luck, Jack can't be 100% wrong. in this scene Jack was going for complete faith and it just so happens that luck was around the corner to save these two miserable characters.
