They were both awsome, but which one made you really tear up and go awwwww.

YouTube - Lost: Season 4 - The Constant - Desmond...

^^ Phone call

YouTube - Lost, 4x13, Desmond/Penny reunion

^^Reunion

While the boat reunion was of course very good for me it has to be the phone call from the Constant, because it was edited so well and was such a fitting ending to that whole great episode. And it made me rub something out of my eye that, by pure coincidence, got in there during that scene...

Oh Dear! What a hard choice! They are both really excellent but I think I'll go for the first one (The Telephone Call From The Constant). I think that telephone call kept our Des going and it really made you see what a determined and ballsy woman Penny was - she never gave up on Des.

It was also great that the telephone call seemed to cure Desmond of those horrible time warp symptoms.

Lovely couple!

Deffo The Constant.
It was just so well done and with the music it leaves me in tears everytime.

The Constant. We had somewhere to go after it. Despite the phone call, there was still the looming possibility that they wouldn't find each other; it was the question of 'Will they/won't they' in the sense of will they find each other. That added to the phone call scene and made it an overall better scene.

Gale243 · 07-11-2008, 03:29 AM

Wow, I though you guys would pick the boat scene.

***monster-eats-pilot*** · 07-11-2008, 03:31 AM

The boat scene was good but the phone scene was just so well done and scripted and it was the first time Des had spoken to Penny properly and awww

The bit that makes me laugh with that scene though is when Des goes '79460893...79460893 it's a london numba!' [idk why it's just funny especially when you say it out loud to yourself]

Gale243 · 07-11-2008, 03:43 AM

You are right MEP, it does sound funny...

But, yeah, the Constant was very well written...

KatesFate · 07-11-2008, 04:40 AM

Definitly The Constant for the same reasons as everyone else. The editing was brilliant and the scene was acted perfectly. Still one of my favorite episodes ever because of that scene.

Mrs Sawyer · 07-11-2008, 09:29 AM

I actually picked the boat bit at the end, only because that actually made me cry because i was so happy for them (stupid i know!!), it was like you actually knew them and you are soooo happy for them!

Bass-mastaa · 07-11-2008, 09:34 AM

Actually thinking about it , The phonecall , should have thought of that before I voted

I agree I think it was the music and editing that made it so emotional , because on paper the reunion would have been more emotional

Mrs Sawyer · 07-11-2008, 09:35 AM

Oh well i am not alone now!!! Thanks

The boat reunion SHOULD have been more emotional but I have to vote for The Constant - which is weird. But they were both amazing and sometimes it is not best to prioritise the things you like in life because things are special in different ways.
