[spoiler]This show has increasingly become one of my favorite shows on T.V., if not my absolute favorite, replacing Smallville as my show to watch on Wednesday. The story is awesome, the character development is superb, and each episode leaves you hooked and wanting more. It's like wednesday can't get here fast enough. My two favorite characters thus far are Locke, Charlie, and the blond dude (can't spell his name so won't even try). [Before I go any further, I want you all to know that what I'm going to discuss is possible spoiler material, so the spoiler tag wasn't a mistake].
Locke - so far, his flash back and past history is my favorite. The way he experienced his miracle and became uncrippled(which is scientifically possible) was just amazing, and the fact that you had no idea he was crippled till the end. Just awesome.
Charlie - Part of my like for him is that he was in LOTR trilogy. Really like the actor and does a great job of portraying his character.
Blonde guy - He is probably my favorite at the moment, simply becuase he's, in my opinion, the greatest mystery out of all the characters (though it looks like his flash backs will be shown next Wednesday). Constantly he has acted like a complete a-hole. He's selfish, self centered, arogant, cocky, and over all a real jerk. Nobody likes him and everyone looks at him with contempt and mistrust. Yet, on various occasions, we have seen that this is not the real him. This is merely a wall, a barricade to keep people out and from protecting his real feelings. Near the begining of the series we saw him reading a letter and crying lakes. Then when he tried to kill the martial to spare him the pain of a slow and agonizing death, and failed, he nearly fell apart as well. Kate's comments this wednesday got to him, as we saw small signs of his bad boy facade waver, weaken. Plus, though he hides it well, he's been there to help the others, shooting of the bottle rocket, flipping the switch, comforting Kate. Its this very personality that intrigues me so much and makes me want to find out why he does what he does. Hopefully, this Wednesday, some light will be shed on that mystery.
Also, this is a spoiler warning. I may believe that my mom has figured out the island. My mom has come to the theory, that the island is not really a real island. In fact, she believes that the people aren't even alive. They've died, deceased, no longer among the world of the living. However, each character has his or her own personal delimma, there own demons. So instead of going to heaven or hell, they're in Purgatory, or the island, and are there till they resolve their demons. It's not as far fetched as it sounds. Much evidence supports this theory. Locke is a big one. Early on his past demon was in handicappedness and his unfulfilled destiny. While the others saw the crash as a curse, he saw it as a blessing because it had cured him of his disability. Later on, he completed his destiny to go on the trip, to kill a boar. He had conquered his demon. So after, we see that Mr. Locke is suddenly filled with faith, is suddenly a guide and aide to the other members, like Jack and Charlie. My mom believes that Locke has conquered his demons, and now his religous mission is to help the others do the same. Plus, the fact that Locke was face to face with this 'creature' and survived also raises an eyebrow. Everyone else has fallen prey to it, where he survived unscathed. This brings up the question, what if it's not a real creature? What if it's something else, and what if it was Locke's attitude of seeing the plane crash as a blessing and going after his destiny that allowed him to survive? Tis a good theory and one that may prove to be true in the end, but we'll have to wait and see.
Overall, an excellent series. It has made me a loyal fan, one who will be there till the series finale.[/spoiler]
