Beautiful episode, love the time-travel stuff, Faraday and the phone call with Penny.
the best tv episode of all times. still watching every year.
Easily the best "Lost"-Episode so far.
The best "Lost" episode ever and one the best of all TV history
If I were to watch an episode of Lost without binging or rewatching the whole series (which I'm doing now and will certainly do more and more times in the future), The Constant would be that episode. It work as an isolated work of art, it is its own thing even being a part of a whole. Yeah, there's a cliffhanger in the ending, but all 42 minutes of that episodes are used to the main and only storyline, focused on Desmond. It's an unquestionably important episode in the context of the season, but it manages to deliver a story that starts and ends here.
But The Constant's autonomy it's just one of the various reasons I love this episode. It gives us more insight about Desmond's character, and gives him more layers, making him even more relatable than before, it that is possible. The screenplay is just genius, not a scene is wasted, every moment is used to move the story forwards and develop the central characters. Exposition dialogue here is also done brilliantly and in an effective way, dramatizing every new piece of information they give us, and this also helps to increase the tension, as you're looking forward for more pieces to complete the puzzle that is the plot. The high-concept plot, making the sci-fi part of Lost really interesting, is one of the main reasons fans love this episode. Here, the "flashbacks" are diegetic to Desmond, who now experience time differently. He is unstuck on time, going back and forth on past and present, which the editing translates very well with the incredible transitions between the two periods. It's just perfectly designed from beginning to end, and making Penny the constant is just proof that the writers of Lost cares about their characters while thinking up a new story idea. I don't remember if I cried when I saw it the first time, but I cried this time, and every "I love you" said to Penny or Desmond is a punch in the gut as you are already invested in their story together, waiting for them to see each other again. It's Lost at its best: smart, interesting, full of questions and thrilling mysteries, thematically brilliant and character-driven.
Episodio indimenticabile con attori in stato di grazia!
A bit confusing with all it;s back and forth, very well done though. Whats not explained, still, is the reason for the effect and the reason for the time difference
Tell us more...
If anything goes wrong, Desmond Hume will be my constant.
This will always be my favourite episode of this show. In fact, it's one of my favourite television episodes of all time. It combines two of my favourite things: a love story and science fiction. Even after all these years, the last five minutes make me cry as much as I did when I first saw it.
OMG!! It's best episode ever.
This episode is one of the best in the series!
Definitely my favorite episode of the entire show (So far). I've only watched until season 5 episode 10 at this point. Easily 10/10
Every single Desmond episode is fantastic.
Any episode that focuses on Desmond are the best Lost episodes ever. This was amazing and brilliant.

This episode is one of the best TV episodes a one can see, let me keep it as simple as that; This episode has been successfully merged both love, tension, fear, science fiction, drama, action, and adventure in a single episode.
It introduced time dilation and time traveling by conscious, which is awesome xD
It was outstanding, a love story and a science fiction, what else I can ask for! I bet you will cry in this episode especially in the ending scene.
I don't know what else I can say, but giving this episode in Lost series, and we had a rough four episodes before this one which we couldn't understand a thing, and now we got stunned by this masterpiece :)
One of the most iconic episodes of Lost.
Who needs Steins;Gate when you've got Lost
Best episode in a while
I rewatched it and all I can say about it is that it's such a masterpiece episode, without a doubt one of (if not) the best episode of the whole series.
