Once upon a time, without watching or reading about it, based upon its ads, I have thought that the Lost is a pure, Survivor-like reality show costumed as a series. However that opinion became a subject to change: the pilot episode, as it featured a doctor in the leading role, made me think that the Lost is a not-so-juicy mix of a reality show and E.R. Most of my mates shared this opinion, so they quit watching it. However, being masochist enough, I have continued to watch the further episodes alone. And then in Walkabout, for my surprise, the series introduced the mystical character of John Locke in such a way that it easily made me an addict. However, convincing my friends of the series worth watching couldn't be done by spoiling the whole story. Therefore I have started to seek for a relatively short, few minutes long slice of Lost of which I could recommend them to watch. Firstly, I have found what I was looking for in the second season...
Make someone imagine a deserted island with no food on it, but fish and fruits - and the people who are forced to eat that stuff for 40 days. Some of them are already left on a raft. It's a good point to make your "victim" familiar with the faces of its passengers. Then make him/her watch Hurley's dream in Everybody Hates Hugo.
My second recommendation happens to be a dream also: Locke's one in Cabin Fever. You don't even have to compose a story for this one. It is essential.
The third and final one is the interrogation from this episode. To interpret it, it is enough to know that Sayid is a time traveler who have been captured by men from the past whom destiny he knows and is telling them the truth. Excellent play, well done music.
One thing is surely common in these shots: their exquisite grotesqueness.
