With exactly one week to go until the series finale, this is a count-down of the 13 greatest 'wtf' moments (so far) from ABC's hit drama series, Lost.
#13
Season 2 - "Man of Science, Man of Faith" -
Desmond in the Hatch

Jack discovers that the man down in the mysterious hatch, now holding John Locke at gun-point, is Desmond - the same man who Jack had a conversation with Jack at a Los Angeles stadium, years prior.

#12
Season 2 - "Live Together, Die Alone: Part 2" -
"I'll see you in another life, brotha."

Desmond turns a fail-safe key and the entire sky turns a brilliant bright, violet color for a moment.

Season 5 - "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" -
Ben Kills Locke

At the end of the episode, John Locke is about to kill himself, but Benjamin Linus breaks into his motel room and talks him out of it by reiterating to him how 'important' he is, and how he needs to live. Locke decides against killing himself once he finds out he may have convinced Jack to return. Then Locke reveals to Ben that he has Jin's wedding band, and a man told him to find Eloise Hawking. Then, Linus begins to choke out the handicapped John Locke until he suffocates - killing him. Upon leaving the scene, Ben speaks aloud, "I'll miss you, John. I really will."

Season 5 - "The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham" -
"I remember dying."
In the beginning of the episode, the passengers of Ajira Flight 316 are on the Island again, after an emergency landing. Two of the passengers approach a mysterious man whom no one recognized from the flight. Ilana asks this man who he is, and he pulls down his hood and says, "My name is John Locke. It is revealed this man is the, apparantly, ressurrected John Locke, after entering the flight deceased in a coffin.

Season 4 - "There's No Place Like Home: Part 2" -
Ben Moves The Island
Benjamin Linus tells John Locke to leave the Orchid station to Richard and "the Others" so he can take over his leadership position. Linus then climbs down even farther into the underground passageway into a chamber containing a frozen donkey wheel. As he begins turning this wheel, it begins to glow - and the Island begins to light up. Then the island disappears in a brilliant flash of light - causing Jack and the Losties to panic as their helicopter (returning from the freighter) runs out of fuel and crashes into the Ocean.

Ben Linus is talking to who we believe to be the real John Locke, as they follow Richard along with the other "Others" on a pilgrimmage to Jacob.

Season 4 - "There's No Place Like Home: Part 2" -
Locke Is In The Coffin
Jack is desperate to return to the Island. He breaks into the funeral home holding a coffin(whom Jack had visited at the end of Season 3). He then is approached by Benjamin Linus, who tells him that they all need to go back. He then says, "We're going to have to bring him, too." It is then revealed that the man inside the coffin is John Locke - who, despite his well-known desires to stay, had somehow figured out the way off the Island.#5
Season 3 - "The Man From Tallahassee" -
"Dad?"

After a flashback featuring Locke getting thrown out of a 10-story building by his father Anthony Cooper (aka- Tom Sawyer), Benjamin Linus and Richard Alpert open a door to show John Locke what came out of a so-called "magic box." It is then revealed to John that the same man who stole a kidney from, and attempted to murder, him is tied up inside - somehow on the island.

Sayid Shoots Young Ben
Sayid Jarrah is back in time, and it is the year 1977. A 12 year-old Ben Linus has just freed Sayid from the DHARMA Initiative.

Season 3 - "Through The Looking Glass: Part 2" -
"We have to go back!"
As the Flight 815 survivors finally contact the outside world, we are held witness to the rejoice of the Losties. Kate's expression shows disbelief, and Jack Shephard has a look of triumph after surviving his confrontation with John Locke. He is finally put at ease after all he and his fellow survivors have gone through - believing that they all would finally be rescued once-and-for-all. Then...
...what was thought to be Jack's off-island flash-back is revealed to be the first flash-forward of the show. He meets with Kate outside of LAX in Los Angeles, California. The once admired and polished Dr. Shephard is now in a desperate state - sporting a grizzly beard, drunk driving, and high on pain-killers. Jack is reduced to pleading with Kate to return with him to the island - in perhaps the most brilliant plot-twist in television history.
