@Loster21's Tweets O' the Day - "The Candidate" Reactions Edition

Amazing, breathtaking episode, and the reaction tweets showed it.  The Tweets O’ the Day Special Edition - Fan Reaction to "We're Done" was beautiful and emotional, but the response to this week’s episode was almost equally emotional.  I kept out those that included “colorful” language – there were A LOT of those.  As they’re mostly all variations on the theme of “NOOO!”, I kept them in the order they were tweeted, unless there were twitversations that needed to be kept together.  Tweets from production and post-production are in red.  The key for who’s who can be found here on LOSTblog under the LOST LINKS navigation tab.

I’ve started with a couple of during-the-episode tweets from my friends at The ODI, but the rest are post-episode, from a variety of time zones, Tuesday night through Thursday.  Enjoy:
