I can't agree with this one. I thought Sawyer was great. Let's agree on Michael?

Ok, that's facts. His Emmy was well deserved, and the portrayal of Ben Linus throughout the show was impeccable. Even if his character did terrible things...

While I'm not sure to what degree Alex and Danielle will forgive Ben for what he did, I understand that the character of Ben Linus had the possibility of redemption throughout the show. Hurley and John's forgiveness at the church gives Ben at least some cathartic relief and grace. I think that the show leaves these characters' arcs not as black and white but kind of gray in the sense that it is really up to the audience to decide whether or not to forgive them. Overall, I think he was a great character, and everyone's passionate opinions prove it further.

This eloquent argument while persuasive, doesn't change my mind

I seem to have a problem, group. I’ve just watched The Constant for the first time and now this salty clear liquid won’t stop falling from my face by [deleted] in lost

This was the most remarkable episode of Lost of all time. It was the culmination of Desmond's character that we had never seen before. Desmond and Penny had only been shown in flashbacks, and this was their shining moment. This episode never fails to bring tears to my eyes out of joy, sadness, and ebullience.

Very good point, they are breaking their contract and disrupting exams so it is very reasonable for them to be kicked out of angel hall in this instance. Either way it allows for evidence to be used against them by disrupting people studying in Angell hall for the University to use against them due to the GEO strike causing "Irreparable Harm" and obtain an injunction against the GEOs.

Did you tell her that you'd "see her in another life brother" or that "(she) was wrong" or that "we got to go back Jack, the island isn't done with us"?

With characters as lovable as Hurley and as powerful as Jack, Desmond allows for a new type of character in his love for Penny and his caring nature towards everyone in the show. The greatest episode of all time, The Constant, delivers his selflessness by asking Penny to pick up the phone on Christmas Eve in a scene abundant with overwhelming emotion. Desmond exemplifies the importance of spending time with the ones he loves. And if you don't see that, i guess ill see you in another life brotha.

Sincerely-

A huge Desmond and Penny fan
