As i'm sure i'm not the only guy here who is an unabashed fan of Lost, i thought i'd open up a discussion on the show from a DJ angle...

Which male character is the closest to the DJ ideal? I'd have to say Sayid. He's the most unflappable and steady of them all. He is driven by a sense of duty, is secure with himself, and the way he went after Shannon (THE hottest woman on Lost) was pure DJ. He went right after it. The guy has courage, knows his mistakes, has applied himself to acquiring skills, is a leader, and doesn't take sh|t from the women. Of course, Sawyer is the "obvious" DJ, despite his over-the-top personality and cheesy lines. You like him, but you're annoyed by him as well. He's too much of a caricature. Other than him, i think you'd have to go to the Others to find any more possible DJ's! (For some reason, i find this hilarious). Ben is pretty hardcore. Don't see him whipped, even after Jack beats the sh!t out of him. Hell, any bespectacled man who can lead a bunch of vest-wearing, pistol-packing hard men must be a DJ! Ethan always showed complete confidence and determination. But by far, THE most DJ of the Others was Richard (Alpert). Remember his demeanor as he recruited Juliet? He beats out Ben for sheer style and polish.

As for who's an AFC? Sorry, but the show is full of 'em. It IS an American show, yeah? Top honors go to Bernard. Total softie, owned by Rose. Jack is the leader and, therefore, somewhat of an alpha-male, but jeez, he's AFU. Look how he was tripped-out over his ex-wife, b*tch that she was. Hurley's a total AFC. Jin is whipped by Sun. Hell, his whole life is defined by Sun. Can you think of any situation where a man had to win a woman more??? Desmond is completely defined by his lost girl, Penny. Locke is the ultimate recovering AFC. And he's doing a fine job, too. Throwing knives like a master, by the end of series three. Charlie, well, he's absolutely sick over Claire. Paulo, looked like a complete DJ as the chef, but quickly showed his true colors as he was dominated by Nikki.

Neither fully AFC nor fully DJ? Michael. The man just lost it...

My pick for most honorable and LTR female character? Juliet. She's not the best looking (that goes to Shannon, Nikki, Sun, then Kate, IMO), but ah, what a person. Very beautiful nevertheless, like a lioness...

Most DJ moment? Richard Alpert's recruitment of Juliet. But really, the most entertaining DJ moments were the plethora of Sawyer's come-on's to Kate. And why not! Great stuff...

Most AFC moment? Jeez, i dunno...Jack's flashbacks, Charlie fawning over Claire (how many times did she diss him???).


And that's my take...

Hurley was definitely may favourite character. While not exactly DJ, he was definitely chill as f*ck. He was easily the most realistic character, and he really doesn't seem to be played by an actor. This is partly by the way he talks (unsure of himself, lots of ums and uhs), and because he never uses cliches. For example, when the teacher blew himself into small bits of flesh, Hurley didn't say "For the love of god" or some retarded sh*t like that. All he said was "Dude..." He's a bit of an antihero, doesn't put on courageous airs, and is definitely the most practical person there. "Uh, shouldn't we (do something sensible that everyone is too caught up in their 'heroism' to think of)."

Also the old guy, I think his name is John (been a while since I watched) is pretty cool. He's the most comfortable and able person on the island, he knows how to survive, and even though he's probably 60 he's one of the toughest guys there. In addition to that, he's intelligent and wise. And he used to be crippled.

Jack is the usual Hollywood hero devoid of personality, as is Kate. The "shady" background is simply too cliche to work well.

Jack pisses me off greatly, he needs to take a chill pill sometimes. He is a controlling arsehole and the biggest AFC on the island.

yo GtarPlayr73 who do you reckon was more alpha Sayid or Eko?

Juliet looks like a female version of Christian Bale
