Top 5 LOST Characters

LOST has one of the better casts on television today. The few characters that are duds or didn't click, the creators have killed. When it comes to favorite characters on the show, I've noticed most people tend to sway to Jack, Sawyer, Kate, Charlie, Locke or someone considered apart of the MAIN cast. Besides Hurley, who gets an honorary 6th place mention, I never connected with those characters and didn't care about their backstories. I always groan and roll my eyes when a Jack or Kate episode is introduced. I know they're important to the overall story but those are two are just terrible. Whiny, self-important, habitually make the same mistakes, yellers, and border-line incompetent. I will not be upset if the smoke monster eats them, or whatever smoke monsters do. So, I present the 5 best LOST characters:

5) Ann Lucia (Michelle Rodriguez)

I can hear the angry yells and curses on my name now. No one I've talked to likedsAnna Lucia. . I though she was a great leader, as opposed to Jack. She was tough, took charge of the situation, and didn't take guff from anyone. She out-Sawyered Sawyer himself. I just thought she brought an interesting dynamic to the milque-toast cast. Plus she's hot and she killed Shannon!



4) Faraday (Jermey Davies)
We only got to meet him for a short while but Daniel Faraday was the best little crazy physicist. He was a young Mr. Wizard who had few screws loose. His manic performance was always a delight to watch as a man totally uncomfortable in his own body. He's was the smartest man on the island but couldn't explain what was going on. He's a bit of jerk for letting his old assistance die alone but he's racked with guilt. He's just a really nerdy guy who get in over his head, no thanks to his mom.



3)Desmond (Henry Ian Cusik)BRUTHA! You saw that one coming. Something about Desmond makes him a perfect everyman in all the unusual situation, even though out most of the characters he's had the weirdest life experiences. Once he was introduced, Desmond became a favorite character of mine and it was defiantly cemented in the episode "The Constant". Desmond's conscious traveled back and forth through his life as he made his way to the island(with the help of Penny and Faraday) and he slowly reunited with his true love, Penny. Even though they had only seen them together as couple for those few minutes during the episode, you couldn't help but cry tears of happiness when they found each other. It's fried in my brain as on the more beautiful moments on TV. Except for killing that one guy, Desmond is a pretty stand up gentleman. I have a great fear that something is going to happen to him or Penny, especially since Ben promised revenge against Penny.


2)Ben (Michael Emerson)

Truly great villains are hard to come by. A great villain will do the impossible, they'll make you like them, even adore them. I'll admit, I have Stockholm's Syndrome for Benjamin Linus. I would follow him anywhere. He has a wonderfully dry sense of humor, honor only to himself, and is a master manipulator. You think Lex Luthor or the Green Goblin is "evil"? Ben would take take them to school and leave them there. Unfortunately his greed for himself is his downfall. This last season we've seen him broken with his tail between his legs, doubting his own existence. I hope he gains his confidence back and become the villain we all know and love.



1)Bernard/Rose (Sam Anderson/L. Scott Caldwell)
Yes, the ultimate power couple is the best characters on the show. From the moment we met them, you couldn't help and fall in love with his couple. Out of all the characters they are the most real, the most we can inspire to be. Sure, they don't always agree but it's not whiny and pathetic like John and Skate + 8. They're just plain adorable. After all the craziness on the island they realize they just want to be left alone, do their own and be at peace. I love the quote they give the LOSTIES about the current goings on. "It's always something with you people. . .we traveled back 30 years in time and your still finding ways to shoot at people." You can't help but love these two. Bernard and Rose, you win at LOST!
(Something tells me they are the skeletons in the cave from season 1. :( )
