Day 12 - An episode you've watched more than 5 times

There are a few episodes I've watched more than five times (Once More, With Feeling and Fool For Love from BtVS come to mind), but the episode I'm going to choose is without a doubt my favourite episode from any TV show ever:

The Constant from the fourth season of Lost.

In the episode, Desmond Hume (played by Henry Ian Cusick) and Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) are on their way to the freighter in the helicopter when they hit turbulence, which causes Desmond's 1996 consciousness to take over his 2004 body and switch uncontrollably between 1996 and 2004. In 2004, the helicopter reaches the freighter and Sayid and Desmond are introduced to communications officer George Minkowski (Fisher Stevens), who is "unstuck in time" like Desmond.

I can't even begin to describe how much I adore this episode. Desmond is my favourite character on Lost, and his storyline is the one I'm most invested in. The Constant is pure perfection from start to finish, and the final scene between Desmond and Penny moves me to tears every single time I see it.

Yep, I cry EVERY DAMN TIME I WATCH IT. Without fail. I look forward to a happy ending to their story Sunday night!

I think I can cope with just about anything happening in the finale of Lost as long as Desmond and Penny get their happy ending!

Should the finale be a huge disappointement I would still praise Lost for giving us "The Constant".

Yes, The Constant was such an amazing piece of television. I hope you still feel the same about it, even after your disappointment of the finale. :)
