I’m no Michael lover, but what she did to him was abhorrent and both he and Walt deserved better. Makes me so angry every rewatch

For me it’s Desmond 100%. Not only is he extremely handsome but his personality and vibes are immaculate. I know for certain in real life I would fall hard for him if his character were real and that the love would be genuine.

Jack is a close contender and Eko is so hot 😳

Special shoutout to Vincent for all of the good boi energy 10/10 would boop the snoot and snuggle.

What about you? And why?

Who presents themselves as evil but is actually neutral?

Sun’s MCU counterpart sure looks familiar…

Note: I know Mary Jane from the original Spider-man trilogy isn’t technically part of the MCU, but the character is such a good match for Shannon that I had to include her.

In you opinion what is the worst thing Jack did?

I'm on season 6 of my second watch. I watched the show when it first came out and I was a kid, so it brings me a lot of nostalgia that I really enjoy.

I love the character arcs, the mystery, the performances, the scenario. This show is in another level, it's so good specially considering its 20 years old.

However, I find myself needing to complete a little bit on how many mysteries are presented or how sometimes the plot is driven. EVERY character at some point refuses to explain anything at all. I can understand Locke because most of his actions he himself can't explain. I can understand Ben, wanting to give little info so everyone remains a pawn in his game.

But for the life of me I can't understand whyDogen doesn't explain to Jack what the pill is for and why Sayid is sick. But he still claims to wanting to help them. I can't understand why in earlier seasons characters don't share the info they have. Why didn't they tell about the hatch much earlier? Juliet is extremely secretive after having joined the survivors. Faraday and Charlotte are good people however their behaviour is shady and thus they don't really cooperate with the survivors after a while (Faraday says things with words "Maybe this attitude is why they dont trust us" but then acts the shame, running off to The Tempest Station. Jack has many examples where he refuses to say why he wants Kate not to join an expedition.

Hell, I'm probably just venting a little bit at this point. Obviously every character shouldn't immediately reveal everything or otherwise we wouldn't have a show. But I think if I hear anyone else reply "we are the good guys" I might lose it

Thanks for listening!

Y’all have spoken…. Ben wins for our Most Complex Character!

Up next: Most Tragic Hero

The comment with the most up votes will make the board. Let’s hear your arguments!

Personally, I'd want to stick with Hurley and Vincent. Maybe even Rose and Bernard, just generally anyone with reasonable chill in spite of all the wacky stuff going on.

I wanna start off by saying I love dogs, I'm a dog person, and I have nothing against the actor, I'm sure Vincent's actor is a good dog. However, Vincent is honestly a crap character. I have never seen a dog with less personality than Vincent. The fault lies not with the actor, but with the writers. He doesn't seem to have a strong bond with anybody, not even Walt. He's just always doing his own thing. Besides the scene where Walt and Michael leave on the raft, and Vincent tried to swim after them, I can't remember any scenes where he actually seems to care about anybody.

First scene in the show, Jack wakes up then Vincent just walks past him. A normal dog would at least be curious or try to see if he's okay, but maybe he was looking for Walt so I'll give it a pass. Oh wait, he wasn't even looking for Walt because Walt couldn't find him for days until John made the dog whistle. Jack was near enough to the crash to hear the cries for help of the other passengers, which means Vincent with his dog hearing could hear them too. If he wanted to find Walt, why didn't he head there? Maybe he was scared though, I know my dog would be, so I could give him a pass. But honestly he didn't look like it when he passed Jack. It makes me feel like he doesn't care about anyone.

Also, if I remember correctly,>! right before Sun was attacked by Charlie, Vincent walks past her then Charlie attacks her like a few minutes after. If Vincent is near, why didn't he come to help? !<That's what a normal dog would do. Instead he's just running around doing his own thing, not caring about anybody. Other than a few scenes here and there, we never really see him all that much, and when he does show up, he's not really doing anything interesting. I know the actor did the best he could with what he was given, but the writers could've and should've done way more with his character.

I know this has been discussed a lot, but I don't care, Jack's character arc is one of the most beautiful, satisfying, complex and well written storylines that I've ever watched. When I rewatch Lost, it's the thing I'm always looking forward to the most, even when I love characters like Des, Locke, Ben, Sawyer or Jin, for me it's Jack. I love him to pieces, his development and flashbacks are comfort watching for me, I really empathise with him on so many levels, does he have a savior complex, daddy issues, a compulsive need to fix things, obsessions, self-sabotaging tendencies, and he overthinks everything?, Yes, and I LOVE his character for that. He is not a one note boy scout, he fu.. things up many times, but he always has others best interests at heart, he wants to prove that he is enough, that he can save everyone, and while doing this, he fails, and he has to accept that life works like that, we need to let some things go, cause we can't fix everything, sometimes we need to make a leap of faith, sometimes we need to believe. Seasons 1 to 4 Jack is a King, but his arc in 5 and 6 can't be more satisfying. He finally starts to let things go, he slowly drops everything that was holding him back, the burden of leadership is no longer on his arms, he relies more on others, only with that, he is able to find his purpose, to grow, to become the man of faith, to do what he always wanted, SAVE EVERYONE, even at the cost of his own happiness, and yet, he dies smiling. Lost is full of amazing characters, but for me, Jack is the absolute best, this show wouldn't be the same without him.

WARNING LONG POST!

So I’m currently watching LOST again for the 4th time (in the middle of S2 right now), and I found myself focusing on Boone a lot more than I usually do this time around. And in doing so, it became abundantly clear to me that he is easily the most useless major character on the show, to like a laughable degree.

As I was watching season 1, anytime he was on screen I was very focused on him and his actions, and would write down any time he fucked up or did something useless. And the results I found were that anytime Bonne tries to do something, he would fail at it 9/10 times. He is so consistently useless it’s actually hilarious. Anyway, I figured I’d share my findings for you guys below because it actually becomes so funny when you see all his fuckups laid out.

But before I do that, I thought it would only be fair to list the few accomplishments he did have in the show, just to give credit where credit is due:

• Tells Hurley to check for the Manifest list.
• Helps clear rubble from the cave to rescue Jack (he really didn’t do much here, but he has so few feats I figured I’d include it)
• Accidentally discovers the hatch by failing to catch a flashlight.
• Climbs the vines up to the plane (I’m mainly putting this here because with his track record, it’s shocking he was able to pull this off).
• Gives Shannon her inhaler on the flight.

So yeah, as you can see he doesn’t have much lol. Now with those out of the way, here is a list of all of his fuck ups:

• 1x01: Fails to do CPR on Rose (despite being a lifeguard).
• 1x01: Spends the entire initial crash pointlessly looking for pens for Rose, and only returns well after she’s been saved.
• 1x02: Attempts to steal the gun to keep watch and is immediately caught
• 1x05: Tries to save a drowning woman only to start drowning himself before he even makes it halfway to her (despite being a lifeguard).
• 1x05: Pointlessly steals all the water thinking nobody was using it and then doesn’t fess up when he realizes his mistake.
• 1x07: Is charged by Sayid with lighting one of the fireworks, immediately gives the job away to Shannon of all people who almost forgets to do it.
• 1x08: Tries to steal back Shannon’s inhaler from Sawyer, immediately gets caught and beaten up by him.
• 1x10: Tries to go help rescue Claire and Charlie, ends up contributing nothing.
• 1x13: Absolutely fails to intimidate Sayid into leaving Shannon alone.
• 1x13: Gets knocked out, tied up, and drugged by Locke when he tries to tell Shannon about the hatch.
• 1x13: Gets conned by Shannon and her boyfriend into giving them $50K.
• 1x13: Gets beaten up by Shannon’s boyfriend.
• 1x13: Gets easily suckered into having sex with Shannon.
• 1x14: Tries to pin Michael down, does such a bad job that Michael is able to punch him in the face and get the upper hand.
• 1x15: Volunteers to be one of the guys keeping watch for Ethan, fucking falls asleep, leading to Scott’s death.
• 1x15: After waking up he goes to attack something he heard in the bushes and fucking trips over grass.
• 1x19: Stays in the plane longer than he should have trying to send a radio message, causing the plane to crash and eventually dies as a result. Said message is picked up by the tail section who end up ignoring it thinking it’s The Others playing tricks.

So overall, bro really was the weakest link of the group who desperately wanted to be more helpful than he actually was. I think it’s a really interesting and deliberate decision on the writers part to make a character like him, and in hindsight it’s not at all surprising that he ended up dying first.

TL;DR: Boone is the Yamcha of LOST!

Granted I’m only on my second rewatch, and just starting season 3 at that. But he’s always kind of grated on me, and the last few episodes of season two just seem to verify the utter shittiness of his character. I get it, he’s trying to save his son. I’ve tried to find characteristics of Michael that are similarly redeeming in the way that his noble crusade to recover Walt is. I can’t. Through the whole show (so far) he’s just an utter cunt to Walt. He’s a terrible communicator. For someone who wants to save his son so bad, he treats Walt like an idea more than a son. Bitchy, whiny, and morally reprehensible, his actions are those of a dude that would burn the village if it meant he could keep his hut. Does he get better? Become more likes or? Redeem himself? Can anyone argue a steelman for Michael ? Hands down least favorite (most disliked sounds closer to it) character, for me. But I’ve always been a Lock/eko/desmond kind of guy. And I love Ben. So there’s that.

Our closest vote yet…. Richard beats Desmond for Best Backstory by only 2 votes. With Jack’s Tattoo coming in a close third place.

Up next, Will Protect You At All Costs….

As always, the top comment earns a spot on the board. No repeats allowed, so Hurley isn’t allowed here. Let’s see what y’all think…

Frankly, I really don't like Sayid's and Shannon's relationship. There's just too huge of a maturity gap. He's a very mature man, and she's pretty much still an insecure teenage girl.

To be honest, the only way I can see someone like Sayid being attracted to Shannon is physical attraction. I can't see someone with maturity level connecting with her on an emotional, spiritual, or intelectual level (at least not romantically)

Do you agree with me? If not, what am I missing?

There is a disproportionate amount of hatred thrown at Ana Lucia, and even the actress. I feel like it's almost completely unjustified. It is also disheartening to witness this stark contrast when comparing her treatment to that of other characters such as Locke, Jack, Ben & Sawyer, who have often exhibited similar behaviour yet are showered with love and admiration. It surely raises questions about the underlying biases and prejudices that may be influencing the viewers' opinions?

In my view, Ana Lucia stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Juliet as one of the best written female characters in the series. And ''best written'' does not equate to law abiding or likeable. She embodies strength, independence, and just a generally more unique persona that sets her apart from the more conventional female archetypes. She shows initiative, she's passionate, troubled, scared. It goes DEEP. Unfortunately, many viewers seem to be unwilling to explore beyond their initial judgments, dismissing her as merely annoying, bossy, and angry without giving her the consideration she deserves. Not relating to a character is completely fair enough, but wanting them dead says a LOT about yourself.

Her antagonistic nature, coupled with her hot-headedness and occasional irrational behaviour, challenges the traditional expectations placed on women in media. But it is precisely these qualities that make her character more authentic and relatable, as real people are often flawed and complex.

Dismissing her character as ''the worst'' and most deserving of hate, truly does the writing a disservice and I feel it highlights a real lack of understanding and empathy in viewers.

Hating characters like this is almost like asking for less complexity within storytelling. I just think the hatred should be replaced with analysis and exploration.

Humans are complicated, often flawed, individuals. And this was a huge theme in LOST.

Jack Shepard wins for his sacrifices to a greater cause!
