Farewell to Lost: Jack



Oh Jack. The hero, the leader, the doc, the man of science who may just turn out to be the man of faith. Over the course of the series I have hated, loved, and rooted for him. I loved him for all the lives he's saved (and those he understood he couldn't - RIP Boone). I hated him for being too stubborn to enjoy his life or the relationships he was in. And yet I've rooted for him all the way - from his heroic day on the beach when the plane crashed to his acceptance that he may soon become the island's protector.

I can't wait until we find out how Jack's story comes full circle. Here are some videos showing just how awesome Jack has been.

Farewell to Lost: Hurley



Hurley is like the feel good character of the series. Every Hurley-centric episode was always lighthearted and fun to watch. His constant references to Star Wars and his constant use of the word "Dude" (Dude, I say dude all the time too) to his supposed bad luck because of the numbers makes Hurley just a ton of fun to watch.

I like that Hurley also served like the voice of the viewers. Questioning things that perhaps us Lost-theorizers would talk about. Like when they rediscovered "Adam and Eve" in the cave and wondered if maybe it was really him and Jack dead there because they had time traveled back to dinosaur times.

Here is one of my favorite Hurley scenes where he changes his attitude about his bad luck. Here he "makes his own luck" and casts the curse off of himself.

Farewell to Lost: Desmond



Desmond is one of the great characters of LOST. While not entirely a main-main character, he is a key player in the series. From his emergence from his three year stay in the hatch to his attempted getaway on his sailboat and his mysterious survival of the blowing up of the hatch - his character was one that I both loved and was intrigued by. Desmond has only become more interesting as the series has progressed and it will be interesting to see how he ties it all up in the end. From the hatch explosion, he was able to see the future, he did some mental time traveling and now in season six he is sideways world enlightened and definitely has something up his sleeve that just may save on the Losties on the island.

Also, Desmond is a damn hot Scottie with a great accent! There is just something about him that makes him so likable. See you in another life, brotha! Compilation follows. :)

Farewell to Lost: Sawyer

With just 3 1/2 hours left of Lost, I thought I'd do some farewell tributes to my favorite characters during the next week. On the top of the list: James "Sawyer" Ford.



Besides being a hot-as-fuck book nerd, Sawyer's character is my favorite because he is so complex and interesting. His journey from troubled conman on a revenge mission to his transformation over the course of island life to a man with friends and a loving relationship (RIP Juilet *sad face*), Sawyer is a man after my own heart!

Here are some great Sawyer compilations:


The nicknames he gives everyone are riddled with pop culture and literary references. I was sort of surprised in season 6, however, when Hurley mentioned Anakin (Skywalker) and Sawyer had no idea who he was. I guess Sawyer is more of a Trekkie.




I'm kind of hoping the last words spoken in the show are of Sawyer saying, "Son of a BITCH!"
