A grown ass man points a gun at Scott ‘saving lives and not even legal yet’ McCall and says “a part of me still wants to kill you” and what does Scott ‘can’t even buy cigarettes yet, but he’ll still risk his life for you’ McCall do? What does Scott ‘literally a christ metaphor’ McCall say?
“I get that.”
Scott McCall, still a teenager, still a child, stares down the barrel of a gun and tells the man who just said “I guess a part of me still wants to kill you” that he understands him.
“In a way it’s a misnomer to call Lost one of TV’s best shows—it’s a fine show on the level of character and writing, but what makes it a classic is that it’s the finest interactive game ever to appear in your living room once a week. An elaborate fractal pattern of intersecting stories concerning plane survivors on a not-quite-deserted island, a secretive international organization and a monster made of smoke, Lost only begins with the 60 minutes you see on TV. Its mysteries, clues and literary-historical allusions demand research, repeat viewing, freeze-framing and endless online discussions. And in a medium where executives assume that viewers will flee anything that remotely challenges them, Lost proves that millions of people will support a difficult, intelligent, even frustrating story—as long as you blow the right kind of smoke at them.” — Time Magazine about LOST (via eyes-to-serve-hands-to-learn)
