Bad, bad, bad Josh-worshippers! Only two threads here?! OK, I'm taking a cue from a Desmond forum for those moments thus far that made you go, Oooooh. Or Ahhhhh. Or Yes! Or No! No moment is too big or small to be rehashed. I'll go first:

In the fuselage near the very beginning, Sawyer has been scrounging for cigarettes and whatever he can find, and Jack comes in to look for medicine. Jack is instantly superior and asks Sawyer what he's found. He says some smokes and a Playboy or something like that. Nothing to indicate he was going to hoard anything, more like what some guy would say to another guy. He actually seems friendly. Jack adjusts the poker up his a$$ to sneeringly ask Sawyer if he always steals from dead people or some sh!+. Anyway, that is the moment I identified with Sawyer, knowing that he might not be perfect, or even what some people call a "good" person, but he had some kind of dignity that comes from being looked down on by people like Jack. Loved him as a character since then. Stellar sex object came later.

Hey, I have plenty more!:redface:

I've loved Sawyer since my favorite moment of his, from the pilot. It's the polar bear scene when he shoots the bear. He seems so logical compared to the other losties. Especially when he says, "...thought it might come in handy (the gun) guess what!! I just shot a bear!!" :biggrin:

Hee hee. Since I can't obsess by myself (well...) and I can't double post, I'll share another personal best: In the S2 finale, when the sailboat appears, Jack, Sayid, and Sawyer don't even hesitate or look at each other, just race to get shoes and shirts off to start swimming. I don't know why (and it's not just Josh taking of his shirt and getting wet, and OMG, never mind) but this was such a cool moment. In a situation like that there have to be totally primal personalities, like Me Strong Man, Me Kick A$$ If Necessary. And those three are IT. I would feel so glad if I was on the beach with them that those three are in such a testosterone race with each other. It would make me feel safe(r).

Now that I think about it I can totally identify with Kate insinuating herself into the group of testosterone/rage. I used to do that when I went out drinking-lol!

He wakes up in the jungle to find his stuff all strewn about and that boar has peed on his shirt. Meanwhile, KATE'S stuff isn't touched.

Then--rustle in the bushes! :eek: It's. . .it's. . .Locke, munching on some fruit. Looks at James pointing a gun at him, ready to defend himself. "Good morning," he says in a ho-hum, Mr. Rogers kind of way. James' reaction to him--I'd have paid admission!



Oh, and when Kate came by with a magazine for him to read. He wants her to stay and read to him (well, that's his EXCUSE--after all, he hadn't found replacement glasses yet!). She hesitates. He smirks. "What? You have an appointment?" Then her choice of what to read is a "how sensitive is he?" quiz! Too funny! (And he laughed at that, too!)


Just two out of myriads of moments!

All his best moments are his crazy nicknames for people. He has some kind of nickname fetish. And when he says a name out of nowhere, they instantly become great moments.

my favorite Sawyer moment was when he and Kate were playing "i never". When he asked her if she ever killed a man..the look on his face when he takes a swig spoke volumes. i loved his intensity in that scene.

My next favorite scene was the "new sherriff's in town" scene after he had pulled a fast one on all of them.

Another best moment for me was when the raftees thought they were saved. They were all so happy, and to see that kind of joy even on Sawyer's jaded, suspicious face made everything so much worse when it happened.:eek:

He comforts Kate after they find AL and Libby's shot bodies in the hatch. Same eppy as the great scenes where James pulls Jack back into reality (from running off and tracking Fenry down) by reminding him that Jack's a DOCTOR, and Libby ain't dead yet; and Jack countering by having James take Kate with him to get the heroin, knowing that's where the guns would be, too.

Lot of good James in those last couple of eppys, yeah? YEAH! :biggrin:

My favorite Sawyer moment was when he finally told (in his round about manner) Jack
that he had met his father in Australia. Jack got to hear that his father did not blame him for reporting him drunk while operating on, and ultimately losing, his patient. Sawyer also told Jack that his father was proud of him, loved him, and he was more of a man than he could ever be.

I like the wise cracking Sawyer, too..but that was a really powerful moment and would like to see more of the same for him.

As a fanatical JuSt friendship supporter, I'm with you on that, Flowers!

When James is being sober and mature, you can see that "cracker" act really IS an act--and that this is a formidable guy who you want on YOUR side!

That's an awesome way to put it! A lot of the best guys have that act, eh? Rude and even crude because basically that's how they grew up, and they keep it up for the world, but every so often they take a chance that another person will take them seriously.

STH, did you feel that Jack could have softened a little bit at that moment? It seemed like he grudged that fact that he even had to acknowledge the gift that Sawyer gave him. Is he really wound up that tight or was it some guy moment that is too subtle for me to even get- LOL?

For me that was a best moment only because my heart went out to Sawyer, almost like he offered to be on "Jack's side", but it didn't seem to matter? Am I just too protective of the big lug?? :redface:

Jack was thisclose to breaking in that "Exodus" scene, IMHO. And James, though I'd love to ascribe a nobler reason for his telling Jack about daddy, was telling him that as a kind of "going away present," since he was about to sail on the raft. Guess he just wanted to leave his and Jack's relationship (whatever it was back then) on an up note.

One of the best LOST scenes ever, though! :biggrin:

Yeah, he lives with his decisions. You don't really hear Sawyer making excuses. I think in the S1 torture scene (which still freaks me out!), he wanted the Raid Brigade to be wrong, or to understand that they were in the wrong. I've felt that way before myself (because of my sometimes despicable past!) when falsely accused. He doesn't want to deny it. He just wants to be innocent and let "them" be wrong for once. So is that the "right" thing to do? Obviously, for him it is, and especially since he was willing to suffer for the "right" to be wrong. Well, you know what I mean! Or not! :rolleyes:

Hey, KMG, since the DIMPLES and the JuST groups love to discuss every facet of Sawyer, I just go there now and listen or chime in!

In the poker game when Jack caught him cheating and he looks up with this so sexy smirk "well I had to try":lol:

These last few episodes of S2 have a lot of great moments.

When Sawyer thinks Jack and Kate slept together when Jack said they were caught in a net and he says 'oh is that what they're calling it these days.

When he told Jack "well you're about the closest thing I have to a friend doc" He really put himself out there even though he probably knew Jack wasnt going to return the sentiment. I love scenes between Jack and Sawyer.

When Jack gives Hurley a gun and he says no way if he takes it he's going to kill someone and Sawyer says 'aint that the point?'

And when Sawyer and Jack walk back with the guns and Sayid comes up to them wanting to go with and Jack tell him he cant. Sawyer is on Sayid side saying he should go.
"yeah well him says even though ippy longstocking...ideal candidates for the dirty dozen I'm just gonna say we might wanna bring the red beret."
And then Jack says its not their call Sayid says it is and Sawyer gives Sayid a gun with "welcome aboard"

Sawyer and Kate also had some good scenes together. I liked the one where she cuts his hair and Hurley and ichael come up telling Sawyer they're glad he's ok that look on his face was priceless. Like he realised he can be liked even if he's the badAss.

I loved the waterfall scene when he just gets into the lake asking her 'what you gonna say no, you some sort of nacvel gazing no fun mopy type"

I swear the lines this guy comes up with is pure brilliance.:77:

This is what kills me about the other characters- everyone is totally lacking in any kind of humor! How else would you get through that situation? Or I guess that's just me and my family of Irish wiseguys. If it wasn't for black humor, we'd have nothing to laugh at some days! :biggrin:

True, Hurley and Charlie can come up with some good sarcastic lines! And it's also true that you have to be able to appreciate sarcasm to find Sawyer "funny"- ! Sarcasm is a double edged sword. It can really hurt people, but it can also point out the absurdity in situations, like Sawyer's "we can all sue Oceanic together". He's pointing out that there is a bond between all the survivors, but it is absurd to think in terms of "normal" concerns. Remember, it was the Tailies that were treating him and the other raft survivors like enemies even after they knew who they were. So trust was absurd in that situation, but so is not trusting.

Not to be too philosophical (there's that Irishness again!), but I've always been attracted to the absurdist/existentialist writers and artists because they acknowledge the denial in so many assumptions that people make without critical thought. Sarcasm can also be a knee-jerk response to "going along" with the herd, and be counter-productive, but it does provide a challenge to those who always think they are right! Sawyer serves the group to keep from never questioning themselves and their self-proclaimed leaders. End of thesis! :p

My other favorite moments with Sawyer are the other side of how flippant he is, the real sorrow and pain he embodies. It's amazing to me how Josh Holloway projects that kind of pain in Sawyer's character. His eyes are truly haunted to me. It's hard (for me) not to feel for someone who is really suffering, even if they throw rocks to keep others from getting too close. The sad, but realistic, thing is that Sawyer does not expect to be understood, let alone sympathized with. When he tells Kate "a tiger doesn't change it's stripes", he is giving her permission to write him off. Sorrow swallows people. It's a perverse form of self-sacrifice for Sawyer to "protect" other people from his own perversity by alienating them. It's still manipulative, but if it weren't for scenes like Sawyer telling Michael, "I would have left you", I would be tempted to see him as "evil". Most people I know don't have the courage to be that honest about themselves.

Anyway!

In The Long Con- I loved this sceen



[We hear the sound of the timer alarm and see Sawyer open his eyes, apparently awakened. He inputs the numbers as Jack and Jin enter.]

JACK: What are you doing here?

SAWYER: One second, I'm like this close to the high score on Donkey Kong.

JIN [Says something in Korean.]

SAWYER [as the timer resets]: Now, what can I do you for?

JACK: Where's Locke?

SAWYER: I don't know. I think he said something about going to the store for a pack of smokes.

[Jack opens the gun vault and sees it's empty.]

SAWYER: Uh-oh, it looks like we've got ourselves a theft. Who's going to call the cops?

Awww... my new favorite pic, and I thought it was his studliness that got me! :biggrin:

I'm rewatching S2, and the pain on James' face when Michael turns on him after Walt is taken. That was so sad and touching, to me. And the fact that before that he keeps calling Michael "Mike", like his country boy real self is coming out, that kills me. His anguish and concern. He saves Michael's life. I know he didn't do any of that for any other reason than human compassion. Then when Jin comes running out of the jungle, he is so glad to see him, touches him with so much concern, I don't get people who don't see anything good about the poor sap! :confused:

You all have made some great observations!
There are so many great Sawyer moments. One of the best moments is the end of the Long Con, when he and Kate have it out.
I love the pure, raw emotion that Sawyer shows. You can see that struggle between who he truly is and who he believes he is. They are not one and the same. His instincts scream to do the "right thing", but out of self defense (learned through experience) is compelled to do the opposite. He can keep people away and avoid caring or being cared for. You can see how it is tearing him apart inside.

I know alot of people say Jack is the most relatable character on the island, but I don't agree. Sawyer is. Everyone can relate to pain...and everyone, at some point in their lives, is looking for redemption.

My favorite Sawyer moment isn't quite the Skate hug when Libby's dying. It's a moment before. Kate sits down, then crumples, then you can watch Sawyer's face as he makes a concious decision to hold her, but (if I'm remembering the scene right) he doesn't really look straight at her while he pulls her in.

His actions and body language speak volumes to me there. He's letting her keep her distance while giving her contact. He allows himself to be a nice guy. And he's totally silent, which is so unusual for him that I think it means his level of comfort with Kate is off the charts. And I'm not just speaking in a romantic way, there's very little romance about that scene, it's all about the equality and the genuine care between them. He doesn't give her platitudes about how he'll save the day, he doesn't discount her pain by emphasizing his own priorities, basically he isn't Jack.

I also think it says something about him that he knows how to just be with someone in their grief. I spent a couple months as a hospital chaplain once, and believe me, that's almost always a skill you've got to learn. And Sawyer doesn't seem the type to have the natural talent. He isn't a fixer like Jack, but we've seen him be uncomfortable with others' emotions. He didn't quite know how to handle Jack during the conversation about Christian, for example. But a good friend's grief, Sawyer can handle quietly and with grace. I love that about him.

Well, my favorite will always be from Season 1 and it's the scene right before THE KISS.
(I capitalize that because there will be one - and ONLY ONE - kiss on LOST ever. Others may come, but they will not be THE KISS!)

It's the scene where Kate is kneeling before Sawyer and he has asked her for a kiss again and she finally she says, "Okay." The part I like is when Sawyer then closes his eyes for a moment and then opens them and says, "Okay". It was such a sweet sigh of submission... *sigh*

If it had been me - I would have pounced on him on the beach!!

Of course my other faves are the scene around the fire in "What Kate Did" and also the scene where Sawyer tells Jack about his Dad. The one Quin described above is also a favorite - I like the way he never said anything, he just pulled her to him and "Let Her Cry".

Hey guys, good to see you love Sawyer...Actually i couldn't live without him.

Best moments? God, i don't know...all the Skate scenes are cute (very much) but if i have to choose a best Sawyer moment and only his, then i think i love all the scenes where he smiles..and uses his brains. I love smart-con Sawyer.

And i agree about the compliments of THE KISS.

one y'all have missed--

the end of the long con, when charlie asks him, "how does a person think of such a thing?" the look sawyer gives him is so raw, so full of barely controlled pain, when he says, "i'm not a good person, charlie. i've never done a good thing in my life." it's a lie, of course-- sawyer has done many good things. but HE thinks he's telling the truth. he can't see any of his own goodness.

when he tells kate, "tiger don't change his stripes," what kate SHOULD have said was, "okay, but YOU are not a tiger."

Hey, you guys! This is an awesome little thread you've got going here. Ok, I'm really late, but I just had to jump in and say that I agree with all of the above posts!!!

There is such a wealth of great scenes and lines from Sawyer that it is nearly impossible to narrow it down, but one of my all-time favorite Lost scenes is when Sawyer tells Jack about his encounter with Christian. OMG, it brings the tears and a lump in my throat every time.

But all of the great lines listed above are fantastic and faves. Practically everything that comes out of his mouth is brilliant!! LOVE THAT GUY!!

Oh, and Zentrxtr - you and I are on the EXACT same page when it comes to Sawyer. Every post of yours about Sawyer that I read, I'm always like, "Yep! Exactly!!"

And I totally don't get the people that don't see any good in Sawyer either. It's kinda the same with many of the characters on the island - he has shown many instances of compassion, caring or empathy but yet no one seems to notice or give him credit - especially Jack! And I think that is one of Sawyer's main motivations for how he acts - people think they have him pegged and know exactly who he is and so they never even look beyond that or see who he is underneath or give him a chance to be good. They come in with a preconceived notion of him so Sawyer figures, why bother? That's exactly how the whole torture scene with Sayid came about - they came to him absolutely certain he had the inhalers and never actually ASKED him. That pissed him off that they just ASSUMED it and so - well, you know how it played out. They always assume the worst of him.
Makes me :furious:

And even if they had asked and he had told the truth that he didn't have them, they wouldn't have believed him. He was going to get it one way or the other and he chose to get it from them in the way that would show them up as fools. He's not afraid of physical pain, so it was worth it to him to have both Jack and Sayid come off as cruel idiots.

Hey, you guys! This is an awesome little thread you've got going here. Ok, I'm really late, but I just had to jump in and say that I agree with all of the above posts!!!

There is such a wealth of great scenes and lines from Sawyer that it is nearly impossible to narrow it down, but one of my all-time favorite Lost scenes is when Sawyer tells Jack about his encounter with Christian. OMG, it brings the tears and a lump in my throat every time.

Very cool, Emma. He's a complicated guy, sweetheart! ;) So fascinating and not just the hot bod, etc. So complex. It is almost bizarre how he can never get a break, and he sure doesn't ask for one, does he? I'm glad you are here to share your faves! :biggrin:

I think mine is in I never when Kate says she's never had a one night stand. He sort of throws up his hand and tips the bottle back and it goes down the wrong way as Kate says, "Bottom's up, Sawyer." (Or it might be "Bottom's up, sailor." I never quite knew which is was.) His expression is priceless and I suspect that the cough wasn't quite planned but a happy accident with the actors.

I have a few favorite scenes to add although all of Sawyers scenes are awesome!

I loved the part when Sawyer wakes up in the hatch and thinks asks Kate "Are we saved" ... and then when he gets outside and gets all frustrated.. excellent.

There's also the Part where Tom is holding Kate at gunpoint and Sawyer is forced to drop his gun. He has a serious grudge against Tom but gives in anyways for Kate :smile:
Then he saves his ego by sayin "You and me aint done Zeeke" I love it.

Since nobody's posted anything since "I Do" aired, I'd like to take this opportunity to add EVERY SINGLE SAWYER SCENE from this episode to it. Josh did an incredible job on this episode (as did his leading lady). Just to list a few:

1) Kate: What are you doing?
Sawyer: I'm throwing rocks.

2) "And how was your day, honey?

3) "So unless you're a mermaid or you got a boat, there ain't no point."

4) The entire love scene with Kate in his cage. There are no words to describe how beautiful that was....

5) "I love you too."

6) Sawyer letting go of Pickett so Pickett won't kill Kate too, even though it means he'll die without a fight. (I really hate Pickett! :mad: )

7) When Pickett walks over to Kate to give her the walkie talkie, how Sawyer slowly stands up, seemingly ready to take advantage of his reprieve and spring into action at the slightest opportunity.

Ok, I guess I really liked this episode. :biggrin:

one y'all have missed--

the end of the long con, when charlie asks him, "how does a person think of such a thing?" the look sawyer gives him is so raw, so full of barely controlled pain, when he says, "i'm not a good person, charlie. i've never done a good thing in my life." it's a lie, of course-- sawyer has done many good things. but HE thinks he's telling the truth. he can't see any of his own goodness.

when he tells kate, "tiger don't change his stripes," what kate SHOULD have said was, "okay, but YOU are not a tiger."

The line there is,"You run; I con. Tiger don't change HER stripes" - which was very telling in that scene.

He was basically saying to Kate that when push comes to shove, we do what we know how to do best. And you RUN. So don't come looking at me all ??? 'why'ed he do that' when I CON".

The line before that is intersting as well - (paraphrasing) "It's like you WANT everyone to hate you". That's the second time she has said that to him. The first being in Confidence Man. Maybe it was writer's not keeping up with what has been said, but I like to think that when something is repeated it MEANS something. He follows up with - (paraphrasing) "Good thing you don't hate me, right Freckles?" I think we now have confirmation that she doesn't hate him...

My favorite Sawyer moments are when he realizes he knows Jack's dad and when he tells Jack about having met his dad.

I also like all the "heroic" moments he has - even though I KNOW he's gonna screw it up in the next episode! I like these moments because they remind me of my own human nature. "The things I know I should do, I don't do. And the things I know I shouldn't do are the ones I do".

"One step forward - two steps back."

Ha! Thanks for sharing, Yaksha and other admirers of Josh/Sawyer! ;) I know that we have not even begun to exhaust the amazing moments of Josh Holloway's performances on this show! Maybe if enough people share, we will cover every moment of screen time so far, with lots more to come, thank heavens! :biggrin:

I have several, but my fave Sawyer moment would have to be his speech at the end of The Long Con. That was wicked. An assertive Sawyer is mega hot. Also, Sawyer/Jack scene from Exodus. Wonderful moment between those two. It still gets me teary eyed.

I completely agree SP. Loved this episode so much!!!
Sawyer is just hysterical, compared with Jack who tries to be funny with stupid cliche jokes. haha
but I have to say I love when he joins the "group" who are climbing the cliff to get a signal. He says to kate "I'm a complex guy sweetheart"

oh and also when the boars are first in the fuselage and jack says "sawyer" and then sawyer says from behind "behind you jackass"

<33 this man

My favourite Sawyer-scenes are from season 1 episode 19: the story about his headaches, being farsighted and finally his nice "new" glasses. Even Jack was funny.

Yeah, this is sooo funny! Evi laugh out loud about it and the way Josh is getting mad at the axe is perfect! :biggrin:

My favorite Sawyer´s moment... gosh, dificult to tell, several.

The moment he reads to Aaron stop crying is fantastic.

The hug he gave Kate in season 2.

The way he says to Kate why he didn´t tell her about they´re in Alkatraz or the way he hold Kate after sex. So beautiful!

But my favorite of all is the conversation between Ben and James at the cliff, in EMFH!
It is fantastic, emotional and totally epic.
The music, the photography, the performances. ME and Josh has a great chemistry.
Fantastic! :rolleyes:

My fav Sawyer moment. . . hmm. . . It's a close tie between his "boys only" heart-to-heart with Karl in the jungle and in the mini season finale when he so delicately asked Kate if she really just said she loved him to save him from Pickett. Or was it him teaching Jin "the three things a women 'needs' to hear" Oh, there's just too many to choose from!

Desmond_is_love

ahaha, I love the three things a women needs to hear!

But my favourite Sawyer moments are when Hurley attacked him and Jin stood there laughing until Sun made him go help, lmao. And in the deleted scenes for season 1, when he was smoking a cigarette while leaning up against the plane reckage, Charlie walks by and was like "Are you sure you should be smoking that, there?" And Sawyer just keeps staring off in the distance, smoking his cigarette, and just says "Yeeeeeeep."

And even though this part is sad, I love when Sawyer shot the marshal, but shot his lung instead. Jack yells at him about what he did and that it'll take him hours to bleed out, and Sawyer actually looked like he felt reeeally bad about it. That's one of the first times that Sawyer actually looks like he cares about something and forgot his bad reputation.

the finale of season 3 when he calls Kate Kate and she says since when did you call me Kate. I know it's not really a sawyer thing but when he first says Kate I said, since when did he start calling her Kate, I mean even during his punishment for losing the ping pong game he calls her freckles, it kind of made me wonder if we were going to get a completely new Sawyer from here on out, which I think we will.

I believe Sawyer calling Kate 'Kate' shows that he was sobering up with the threat of Kate's possible pregnancy. I also think he volunteered to go back to the beach to keep Kate from going. He didn't want her to be in danger if she is preggers. But maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part 'cause I would love to see him step up and be a daddy if he has to be. But however it turns out I hope he doesn't stay serious for too long! :)

That's one of my favorite Sawyer moments as well. Another one is definitely when he tells Jack about meeting his father in Exodus. And when he comforts Kate after Libby & AL's death..that's more of a Sawyer/Kate moment, but yeah.

There are a lot of good Sawyer moments out there, especially throughout the 3rd season.

That's the moment that everybodys talking about but I've never seen it. I had to tape that epi and have the TV on another channel and for some reason, my VCR stopped taping right before that scene! I'll just have to watch that first when I get the DVD, I guess. (think happy thoughts :) ) --Sorry guys I don't know why my quote didn't show up right.
