Topic: LOST - Channel 4 *warning spoilers, but no answers*

'The Constant' is still one of my favourite episodes of TV of all time

The plot was essentially a device to get a large amount of very different characters together and really hammer their development, I think to that extent not much comes close. Such a large ensemble of great characters that were very well written and acted.

I wasn't too arsed about the plot by the end, I was happy to be as emotionally invested as I was.

Game of Thrones and The Wire obviously manage to do this and throw in a cohesive story too.

Lots of shows do, the mystery was what drew people to Lost. If they'd said "you'll never find out what any of this means" it would have failed.

I don't think many shows have the sheer volume of great, well rounded characters as Lost - along with the variety.

Obviously the mystery is what keeps you going, and with a better more thought out story Lost may have been up there as one of the great shows.

Have a large ensemble of good/great characters. The Wire and Game of Thrones as you said. The Shield. Justified. The Sopranos. Deadwood for sure. Band of Brothers of you count that. Sons of Anarchy. That's just off the top of my head.

I think Lost had a fantastic mystery that got everyone talking, and that's why it's remembered so fondly. The characters were second to that.

started watching again. So many good character.

Boone is not one of them though.

God but he was so pretty. Sigh. Had to make do with Sawyer after that, which wasn't too much of an effort I guess.

Which one was Boone?
