30 Days Lost Meme - Day 4

Oh, well let's have a good think about that one shall we, now...?

Bit of a no-brainer today, really. Because once upon a time, midway through series 2 where it had started taking another mid-series dip (seriously, those first couple of series were way too long), the awesome Danielle Rousseau alerted the also awesome Sayid Jarrah to let him know she'd caught a little man in a horrible orange polo shirt in one of her nets. And I liked the little man, because he was a bit pathetic and alone and snarky-funny, and I like pathetic and alone and snarky-funny. And he got beaten up and tied to things a lot, which is nice. And his actions, words and motivations were shown to be less and less reliable the more we saw of him, which was exciting - I mean, who was this guy?

I'll tell you who that guy was. That guy was Benjamin Horatio Motherfucking Linus, and he filled every scene he was in with unpredictable, witty, devious awesomeness. I mean I can't even. I'm just going to let this song here do the rest of the talking.

Other honourable mentions are Desmond (Hot Scottish Odysseus reference/Time Spastic) Hurley (Great Big Ball of Adorability with added Crazy/Spookiness) and Miles (Grumpy, Snarky, Lonely, Psychic). None, alas, quite match up to good old enigma-within-a-puzzle-within-a-badass-within-a-mousey-middle-aged-man Benry Gale, though.
