Lost ~ The Candidate



So as you may have noticed, there has been no recap for The Candidate yet. There is a perfectly good reason for this – I’m still too emotionally fragile. At this point you should have seen the episode. If not avoid the following GIFs and prepare for your heart to be ripped out of your chest once you finally get around to watching.

So instead of my usual recap let’s just mourn together via GIFs, shall we?

We had pretty much prepared ourselves for at least one death this episode. At first things were looking up!

While it’s nice to dream, I didn’t truly believe they would kill Kate off quite yet (if at all).

In the sub Jack actually had a good idea for once but Sawyer understandably distrusted Jack’s instincts (I mean, to be fair, the last time they listened to Jack it killed Juliet).

Sayid, deciding to make his last act a noble one so people would stop calling him an evil killer, told Jack to go find Desmond, and he ran off with the bomb.

Frank managed to slip in a quick one-liner before being knocked down by the door and submerged in water.

Sawyer got knocked unconscious and was bleeding from his head. Jack ordered Hurley to take Kate to the surface. Jack took Sawyer, but was ordered by Jin to leave him and Sun behind. Sun was trapped, but Jin would not leave her again.

We. Are. Devasted.

So this episode’s confirmed deaths include Sayid, Jin, and Sun. Although it seems unlikely that Frank would have been able to escape the sub by himself, the lack of media acknowledgement of his death, and the fact that there have been no interviews or statements from Jeff Fahey about the demise of his character, leads me to believe that there may indeed still be hope for our beloved pilot.

Amusing sidenote:

Remember how Jack sent Hurley to find the first aid kit to save Kate?



FAIL. Do you think that if they never opened the backpack looking for bandages the bomb never would have detonated? According to Jack’s theory, it probably wouldn’t have.
