"I just got shot by a PHYSICIST!" Best line in the episode.

19:28 Rana - so upset about Daniel that she furiously ripped off her shoes and politely dropped them to the ground...LOL

Farraday is Hodor. his whole life shaped to get him to a specific place to die.

I love how they accidentally figured out Charles was Daniel’s father hahahaha

I think the reason Daniel was so upset about the 815 wreckage was because, like Desmond, he had been subject to a lot of radiation. As a result of this, his mind (i guess) on some level remembers being there in the sventies and possibly even Charlotte's death.

When Nikki said "Why do all my favorite characters die!?" if I was Suraj I would have looked over at her, smiled, and asked how Hurley's doing just to scare the shit out of her lol.

Daniel doesn't want to believe in 'whatever happened, happened' anymore between the three years we saw him as he's emotionally involved in wanting to bring Charlotte back. He talks about how all this time he's forgotten the variables, so that implies he's made some revelation in his research, that being he now believes that you can change the past. He could also be pursuing this course of action as a way to prove his mother wrong, since 'all the best cowboy have [parental] issues' and as this episode shows Daniel has them as much as Jack does in trying to prove to Christian that he does have what it takes.

Eloise: "My son is Daniel Faraday." Nikki: "So is Daniel related to her?"

Remember how Inman referenced Radzinsky in season 2 and that he shot himself with a shotgun? Yeah, it's become a popular theory amongst fans after season 5, that actually Inman just shot him himself, because he was too annoying! lol

LOST's abilities to surprise Nikky and Rana are invariable.

I think Daniel abandoning whatever happened happened is emotional, not scientific. Realizing child Charlotte is alive probably got to him. Regarding his mom, two options: If she didn't kill her son he would never have existed. Even if she had a child with Widmore that child wouldn't be Daniel. OR, whatever happened happened in which case she couldn't change the past no matter what she did.

One of my favorites episodes of LOST containing one of the best scenes in any medium ever made, the scene between Jack, Kate and Daniel at the riverside. The acting, the story, the pay-off everything in this episode was pretty much said flawless. Another reason why season 5 is the best!

Daniel's death is one of the most tragic television moments ever.

I think thats why his mom tried to detach from him emotionally. She knew she had to kill him

“Why do all my favorite characters die!?” Preach girl. The struggle is so real.

Faraday trying to introduce variables got him killed by the island real quick. Clearly unless it involves Desmond it doesn't work. 23:00 "He doesn't even know any training in gun" A hilarious line but as the world has shown us for generations you don't need to be trained to kill someone with a gun.

Who's ready for the Season 5 finale :D :D :D

This is the best reaction series on KZfaq. God I'll miss it when it's over.

To say that Nikki's hate for Kate's character is irrational and extremely irritating is a massive understatement. Rana has long since been my favorite along with Suraj, but I liked Nikki for the most part. I'm liking her less and less every time she opens her mouth when Kate is on screen. And I get why Kate can be annoying, but even when she's having her good or reasonable moments, Nikki is still a jackass about it.

P.S. Kate had THE MOST SANE reaction to Daniel's plan, and is often the only one to react to the crazy goings-on the way most of us would. Let her breathe.

She knew that her son is gonna die and this is what she told Charles She told him "don't talk to me about Sacrifice I sent my son back..." And then Charles interrupted her.

It just feels like no matter what Kate does she's going to get hate. Do I think she's done some stupid things, yes, ut it doesn't justify the amount of hate that she gets for every little thing she says or does. Daniel is talking about setting off a hydrogen bomb so I'm sure I'd probably have the same reaction. Charlie wouldn't have been better off, he was an addict, Sun and Jin were not in a good place and he was still under her father's thumb. These characters were better off on the island.

Well, Suraj, Daniel just changed his mind xD Next episode is one of Hurley's greatest moments! "Okay, dude, we're from the future".

“I CANT WATCH THIS” x10 *CONTINUES WATCHING THIS* x10

This is one of my favorite episodes in Lost and in general series

I never see enough sympathy for Eloise. Imagine knowing from when you're pregnant with your child that you'd kill said child and have to spend his life pushing him to it. I feel worse for her.

That silent slipper toss was fuckin hilarious

Kate was right once again! Nikki was wrong once again! lol

I love how much influence The Stand had on LOST. And this show takes it to crazy new levels of insanity.

5:32 Just turn the subtitles off. Or read some transcripts, then you don't have to watch anything...

Awesome reaction vid - RIP Dan, this was a HUGE moment

This is the 100th episode!

I am a physics guy. So, Here's the explanation: 1. Daniel says whatever happened happened in 1954, where he asked to bury bomb saying the island is still present in 2004 from now, so it won't explode. In this eps, he came up with them being the variable having free will, if he uses this free will to detonate bomb to destroy the island, it will create a new time stream where the plane would successfully land. Basically he realizes that hey there's is a bomb, it ain't gonna explode on it own. What if I do it. 2. Another explanation: The bomb works on H-He fusion (matter), There is some sort of negatively charged exotic matter (kinda antimatter) on the island. The bomb energy will negate that energy (kinda matter-antimatter anihillation). First one is more promising to me.

21:50 - didn't they establish that: a - they can't get back to the island since the sky went purple? b - location constantly changes (the lighthouse station in the church)

Faraday's mother in the flashback is Klaus' mom.

That dog is so cute.

20:28 Yes! Thank you, perfect summary of our feelings, what you're saying there!

That slipper throw, tho...

1977 Elosie didn't know it was her son when she shot him. Whether or not she did anything to prevent Daniel from returning to the island, he would have ended up there regardless. It's just like Charlie's death or the man with the red shoes in Desmond's visions. Daniel finding the variables to change the past is what set off the chain of events that would eventually lead to the hatch being built.

13:50 - Too bad Sawyer said that. Being such a conman he would probably tell that the guy in the closed is one of the hostiles and he captured him.

Faraday told Ellie to burn H-bomb saying Island is there 30 yrs from now. Now at Ann Arbor, the idea cam to his mind is- Wait there's is a H-bomb on the Island, what if I myself detonate it to create. It would either create a paradox or different timeline. Any physisicist would probably do that.

This reaction episode starts at 19:30 mark. Chomp! Although Suraj and the Charlotte chocolate bar quote. Great acting, y'all knew! LOL

cant wait to see their reaction to the epic finale episode!!

Faraday literally was absent all season, makes an bad ass appearance, only to die an episode later. Talk about leaving an legacy

The double shoe throw lol

this chapter is like Jules Verne meets Greek Tragedy-. Can´t imagine a brighter script- maybe The Constant. guys, i am re-living all of this thanks to you. I love you! again: thanks. it gets more emotional with you. I cried a river watching your reactions.

“Sound the alarm!!” LOL 😂

hi guys! i’ve been thinking about doing Lost reactions myself (with my friends who haven’t seen it) and i was wondering: does anyone know what how much of the episode one can use to not get a copyright strike? i know the normies do 10 minutes, but idk if there’s a specific rule.

This episode kills me everytime.

LOL, the Sawyer and Kate caught on camera again!

Those people would be alive but if the plane didnt crash but its not like they where all leading perfect lives before the crash or would be better off

Why Eloise didn't write a letter like Marty McFLy did and warn her son? Daniel was my favourite too.

Happy 100th Episode Daniel...

Is that Sipowitz from Victorious? I mean, I’ve never seen that show.

Why would Dan go in with a gun and point it at everyone. He could've just walked in and asked if he could join them.

19:40 R.I.P Suraj's finger.

Twitchy is dead...

I would change the past by intentionally not causing past events to happen. For example, if I was in a position like Eloise, remembering that I shot Daniel, I would make sure he doesn't get to the island or travel back in time for that to happen. Or in the case of Locke telling Richard what to say to his other self because he remembered it, just make it not happen by not telling Richard about it. That's the only way I can see for them to actually influence time instead of causing it to happen in a self-fulfilling prophecy type ting.

I just saw the deleted scene Stones and Boulders that Suraj talked about at 28:54 and it is true it helped me understand more clearly the motive for using a hydrogen bomb to change the past, even though I understood the reason when I first watched Lost when it first came out. As Nikki was saying Faraday knows how to explain the craziness of what's going very well to us laymen in science. I wish this scene would have been in the original broadcast.

You three look extra cute, this reaction! 10:27 is like a Community: Annie and Shirley moment for Nikki & Rana, & then Suraj with his"chocolate before dinner" moment at 10:46...hehehehe.

What kind of mother sends her own son to die? A very bad one. Eloise is stone cold.

Eloise didn't know she was going to kill him at that young age, she didn't know until she probably saw him as an adult and realized "Oh shit I shot that man when I was in my 30s on the Island".

Please tell me Suraj mentions at the end that this is the 100th episode...

cant wait for you to watch episode 15

@Suraj I believe they removed the scene because Daniel's new ideas about the variables and changing what happened is FALSE and an extra dialogue scene that over elaborates a false idea by a character would make it look like more factual when it's not. The incident has always happened with the hydrogen bomb already involved, what happened in 5th season finale IS and WAS ALWAYS THE INCIDENT that was talked about in the Dharma Swan Station orientation video. I am pretty positive about that but I'm still willing to hear about any other ideas that suggest otherwise. P.S: They're already on Season 6, so my comments aren't spoilers to them.

Don't forget that Eloise Hawking believes that if you try to change time, it will result in the universe course-correcting itself. She believes that anything that is supposed to happen WILL happen, and possibly in a worse way than it was supposed to happen the first time around. So she believes that if she doesn't send Daniel to the island, he's still going to die, everything with Jughead is still going to happen on the island, and Daniel's fate might be even more unhappy than it would be if she doesn't send him to the island. (For example, he'll lose his memory and never be healed before he dies if he's not sent to the island.) As for why Daniel suddenly thinks he can change time, I have to think that there's three options *Light SEASON 6 SPOILERS*: 1) He never actually changed his mind. He knew that there was going to be an incident at the Swan site, and he finally figured out that the hydrogen bomb was what would trigger it. Therefore he believed that no one would voluntarily detonate the bomb at the Swan unless he went back to the island to do it himself and convince other people to help him by lying to them and telling them it would change time. 2) It was wishful thinking. Daniel knew that he couldn't survive a hydrogen bomb detonation. That's not something that universe course-correction should be able to fix. So he's essentially trying to do something so big that the universe can't fix it, and he hopes that that'll be enough to change the whatever happened, happened rules. 3) Daniel actually ran the complex physics equations and just came to the wrong conclusion based on his research. He had an additional 3 years to work on them with a fully functional mind and knowledge of the future, so this could have led him to make certain progress and certain assumptions that he hadn't been able to make beforehand.

WHAT BREED IS THAT DOG ON THE SOFA?!?!?

Here's the "tragedy". When I first tuned into the Normies channel, Suraj was one of my favorite reactors. Even at the beginning of this Lost reaction series, I was a Suraj fan. But then I started noticing things. And at this point, my observations (for obvious reasons) are starting to sound like a broken record. 1:44 So here, Suraj connects the name of this episode "The Variable" with a previous episode "The Constant". 1:54 Then he proceeds to justify his action (like he didn't jump the gun on connecting the dots) by mockingly imitating people who point out his infractions. But this time it's okay because if Suraj hadn't connected the dots for the ladies here, they wouldn't have connected it on their own. Because surely the WRITERS wouldn't have included a line in this very episode that would allow viewers in REAL TIME to connect those dots. 15:31 Oh wait. Daniel says "I've spend so much time focused on the constants, I forgot about the variables." So I was wrong. It's a good thing Suraj connected the dots. Because if he didn't, the ladies wouldn't have connected the dots on their own when the writers put the dots in front of their faces on the writers' own timeline. 4:05 Here was an innocuous contribution by Suraj where he has a candid moment sharing something he forgot would occur on this episode. Contributions such as this are interesting and genuine and are the types of contributions that a veteran viewer SHOULD be sharing. But what it illustrates is that Suraj forgets things that are discussed on a particular episode. And the problem is he'll often blurt things (for inexplicable reasons) that we later learn he had forgotten was addressed by the WRITERS later. And then he retreats into his defensive cocoon. 4:37 Jack and Phil went up the hill... Jack and John. Didn't we say that? I don't remember if they did discuss that. But it wouldn't surprise me if they hadn't. This wouldn't be the first time he recycled some joke he heard or experienced from previous viewings of an episode with a different group of people. It wouldn't surprise me if all of his "spontaneous" quips were "winning" moments someone else had originally entertained the room with during a previous viewing (not that Jack and Phil went up the hill was particularly witty). 5:19 Rana predicts dialogue. But she gets the actual line from the subtitles a split second before it's delivered. Suraj rightly observes that that split second took a bit away from the intended reveal moment (accompanied by the dramatic music). Ironically, this is something Suraj does to the ladies ALL THE TIME! He connects dots for the ladies before they have realistic chance of connecting them on their own. He mansplains things that the writers LATER explain which similarly takes away from the dramatic intent of the events on screen as the WRITERS intended. HOWEVER, the difference between the subtitle giving them a head start and Suraj planting his own "head start" is that the former was a calculated decision. They've experienced the times where the subtitles gave away reveals (like Ethan being the one under Juliet's house). But they decided that the benefits outweighed the "costs". They've calculated that subtitles are a "necessary evil". Then there's Suraj's "contributions". Very few of his mansplanations are necessary. Very infrequently do they supplement the ladies' viewing experience. His contributions can't quite be characterized as a "*necessary* evil" because, well, they're largely not "necessary" so his contributions are simply... 10:37 Need anything more be said? No. But this was a BLATANT example of what Suraj does SO often. He blurts out a comment that the writers intended to reveal later. So the question is "why?" Why blurt such things out? In his defense, he "reacted" when it was the writers' turn to reveal what he already revealed. And kudos to him for not vilifying critics of his "contributions" at that moment at least. What he doesn't realize is that he does this thing consistently for no justifiable reason. But his "excuse"? 10:50 "I forgot she said it here." The problem? He often "forgets" that the writers "say it here" and he blurts out the writers' moment before the writers' moment because he forgets about those writers' moments. 20:00 So while most veteran viewers take this moment to ask questions to elicit thoughts from the newbie viewers, Suraj decides to mansplain the ramifications of Eloise's choices on his own. He flat out states it. 20:17 Rana patiently waits for him to say his piece before she gets to say what he didn't allow her to do first. Why did Suraj see this need to mansplain something Rana clearly understood on her own? There's that broken record thing again. 22:24 But in this episode where Suraj's infractions are so blatantly on display, this moment here encapsulates one of the biggest problems with Suraj. Rana brings up a point that Suraj had (yet again) forgotten. I can't be 100% sure, but methinks most veteran viewers would pat that newbie on the back and let that newbie explain the connection of dots on her own. What does Suraj do? When Nikki asks Rana to repeat her point, Rana starts doing so... but Suraj proceeds to interrupt her and TALK OVER HER. He wouldn't let Rana explain something she noticed. For whatever reason, he had to be the one to mansplain it. That's Suraj in a nutshell. But what do I know? I'm not an observer who starting noticing a trend. I'm just as a "hater" making shit up.

this episode just breaks my heart 😭😭😭😭

Yawn, I guess its another one where Nikki hates on Kate for some irrational reason. Skip.

Rana with the full push on Nikki was great! I love you Nikki, you alright?

28:28 See, that's fucking confusing! And if he really does want to change things, he could have had it a lot easier than trying to detonate a hydrogen bomb: *Just DON'T FUCKING TALK TO CHARLOTTE!! DON'T FUCKING DO IT!* And boom, there you would have had your change!

Sawyer should've told Radzinsky that Phil was a Hostile.

who's dog is that nikki and him are way cute and i don't know who dustin is he really is the best though-i love that zoomin on nikki's reaction to the ending

Not all your favorites are dead what about Hurley? My favorite is rana but all of you are great! Thank you Suraj! Thank you dustin! It's dustinity! Rana always connecting dots but Nikki connected some dots in this one too. That sucked when faraday died always liked him but on this show in sure we're going to see him again. Had to.

Your Dog is amazing

Daniel Faraday : Lost = Mikkel Nielsen : Dark

Rana fine ass be having so many slow moments😩😭

23:01

Fuck, I forgot how Daniel died.

PUPPY!!!!!!!

Bite him, Niki!!! lmao

Poor Radzinsky, in 1977 he was shot by a physicist, then he ends up locked in Swan hatch. For 15 years there, he pretty much becomes a physicist himself, and then shoots himself. Destiny goddammit...

She sent her son back to die because it already happened for her, wish she hadnt to see what would happen but I guess if it already happened then it always happened and it cant be changed like idk but agh I was so sad!!!! that bitch knew!

Widmore: "What if I told you they weren't really dead" Me: So those bodies on camera are fake Charles? The bodies of the 300+ ppl aren't actually dead ppl?

SHARON!

Yea Charlie would be alive until he overdoses because he would still be addicted to heroine

Is this a bad time to make a “yo mama” joke?

"he doesn't even have training in gun" :D oh Nikki, never ever change.

Serahy is a f legend

In case you missed it, yesterday they released a new The Expanse Season 4 Trailer, are you maybe going to react to it?

Can you watch *Dark* after you finished Lost? The mindf*ck on that show is similar to Lost

18:14

If Kate ever gets off the island again she is going back to Jail. As per her plea deal.

3:05 what!? wtf

please sir can i have some more

That epic Nikki Zoom in is everything!

ah yes, the episode they killed my favorite character u__u

Ain't it wonderful how this show changes us all. You guys have morphed into greatness since the beginning of this. Freaking awesome!

Hello
