I'm so Lost...

You know how when drug addicts and/or alcoholics have MAJOR problems when they're busted and have their addiction taken away?

That's how I feel.

For those of you who know me, no, it's not the soda, my addiction with that is doing just fine. However, my favorite TV show, Lost, is over. And i mean... over. The series finale was on Sunday, and even though it was AMAZING, I hate the fact that it's the last one. Just because I haven't posted if forever, I'm gonna go through a couple of my favorite characters. Also, if you haven't finished this show yet.. DON'T READ THIS. It's got some major major major spoilers..

DESMOND HUME

Desmond is a great character, and he came on the scene in Season Two and, despite how crazy it sounds, he pushes a button every 180 minutes that saves the world. However, since he's been doing it for 3 years, he's a little crazy. After destroying "the hatch," he gains the power to randomly see into the future and see what's going to happen. He uses this to save Charlie's life multiple times. Eventually Desmond leaves the island, when he is reunited with the love of his life, Penelope Widmore, the daughter of Charles Widmore. They have a son, and Desmond names him Charlie in honor of Charlie Pace. Unfortunately, he is soon brought back to the island by Charles Widmore. After Widmore is murdered by Benjamin Linus, Desmond  does what "Locke" tells him to and removes a sort of cork from the island's core, thereby making the entire place unstable. Jack kills "Locke" and then saves Desmond's life before stabilizing island again.

CHARLIE PACE

Charlie is probably my favorite character in the series. When he crashed on Oceanic flight 815 on the island, he was a Heroin addict. However, with the help of John Locke, he overcame that obstacle. Before crashing, Charlie was the bass player for a band called DriveShaft. Once on the island though, he fell into a romantic relationship with Claire Littleton, who gave birth to Aaron on the island. Charlie, having a great heart and always trying to help everyone, became a sort of father to Aaron. In Season 3, Charlie realizes that in order to get everyone off the island, namely Claire and Aaron, he has to complete a suicide mission. He goes to an underwater station that is blocking communication to and from the island, disables it, and drowns. When Desmond, who had accompanied him on the mission, returns to the island, he tells Hurley (Hugo Reyes) what happened to Charlie, who in turn tells the heartbroken Claire. In essence, Charlie was a man who always tried to do the things that helped other people most, and ended up giving up his life for those on the island.

HURLEY (HUGO REYES)

Hurley doesn't change much throughout the show. He, similar to Charlie, has a heart for helping people. However, he always look on the bright side and tries to have fun. At one point in time, he even goes through the trouble of building an actual golf course on the island! He goes through difficult times on the island, first losing his girfriend, Libby to a bullet wound, and then Charlie, his best friend. In Season 6 he fills the role of "caretaker" of the island when Jack realizes that he's going to die. Along with the help of Benjamin Linus, he helps the other people leave the island.

SAWYER (JAMES FORD)

Sawyer is a rough life character who, as a child, witnessed his parents' deaths after they were conned out of most of their money. He held the grudge his whole life until finally he murdered the man responsible, Anthony Cooper. He fell in love with Juliet Burke in Season 5 until her tragic death in Season 6. Sawyer was loyal to his friends to the bitter end, and didn't allow himself or his friends to be taken advantage of. He provided both humor and a great sense of security to the entire show.

JOHN LOCKE

John Locke is a troubled soul. Years before crashing on the island, he was conned multiple times by his own long lost father, Anthony Cooper. Throughout the series, Locke tries to persuade Jack into what 'he needs to do' and 'what he's supposed to do.' Lock is a firm believer in fate and is convinced that the island has a mind of its own. Eventually, Locke dies in order to convince the "Oceanic Six" to return to the island. When his own dead body returns to the island, "The Smoke Monster" possesses it and poses himself as Locke, though the real John Locke is dead.

KATE AUSTIN

Kate, like Hurley and Charlie, shows extreme care in the issues of other people and often places her own safety on the line for another's well- being. When she arrived on the island, she was a criminal convicted of murdering her father-in-law, who was abusive to her mother. When Jack found out, he told her that everyone deserved a fresh start on the island, and she was even released of her charges in the real world. Throughout the show, she finds herself in a love battle between Sawyer and Jack, but in the end she chooses Jack. Kate is a character who provides a large amount of emotion to the show, both in a sad way, but also in a way where the viewer feels a need to do something, rather than let the events sort themselves out. That's the sort of character that Kate is.



JACK SHEPHARD

Jack was a surgeon prior to the crash, and is set up as the sort of "leader" of all those who crashed. He always feels the need to "fix" things, and when he fails it devastates him. In the final season, he takes Jacob's place as the caretaker of the island. However, after being wounded in a fight to the death with the supposed "Locke," Jack sacrifices his life to save the remaining survivors and even the island itself. In essence, he was the main character of the show.





Okay, so that's it. See, you learn something new every day! Anyway, if you have Netflix I would HIGHLY reccommend this show. It's amazing.

Thanks for reading..
