Top 20 Lost Moments that made me Feel Feelings

#14. The Variable: “You knew this was gonna happen. You sent me here anyway.”

Daniel. Just what do you think you were doing. I just…WHY?

To me, this is the most shocking Lost death. I know I’ll get some grief for this, but this was sadder than Charlie and Juliet, whose deaths had been foreshadowed during most of the episode. But Daniel’s was sad because you really got the idea that it was a horrible mistake (even if it was predestined). It was just shocking. Not just because of the event itself, but the logistics of it. He got killed by his mother who was pregnant with him, after she sent him back in time (either to die or to correct the mistake.) It was basically the equivalent of ending with a punch in the face (especially after they got a few good hits in the rest of the episode.) Daniel’s story, like many, is just ridiculously tragic. I missed him a lot.
