hurly and for tossing that hot pocket at ben, I loled so hard.

Best scene ever. Did you know Ben was originally supposed to say "Now that's a terrible waste of a Hot Pocket," but they cut it for some reason? I'm completely serious. They should have kept that in because it would have been awesome.

My favorite character is probably Hurley too, but Locke and Ben are up there too. I honestly can't decide. But if I absolutely had to, it would probably be Ben. Michael Emerson is such a good actor and his character is written so well.

Hmmm... Who is my favorite?

It was Daniel Faraday with Desmond, but now Daniel's dead so it's only Desmond for me. I'm really into science/destiny, that's why.

After Des it would probably be Locke or Ben. Outstanding performances by both actors, and great characters. Ben is one of the most complicated characters ever on TV.

Ben is definitely one of my favorite characters. I love how they had set him up to be a real cold hearted bastard. Where at first it looked as if he controled some cult on the Island. But he turned out to be a more of a guy who is willing to do anything to protect the Island. Yeah he has done some terrible things. But he is such an incredible character with alot of depth to him. That and Michael Emerson is a great actor.

It's hard to choose, so many characters have been in and out. However, I'm going to have to say either Sawyer or Daniel Faraday. Sawyer is such a dynamic character - he's changed so much over the course of the series, I love his different personalities. He's such a strong person. I also like Daniel because he is a very critical character as of now, and has changed the whole story so fast. I believe we haven't seen the last of him...

Ben and Desmond. Ben because he's incredibly creepy (it's his eyes) and so far he's been one of the more interesting characters.
But I think Des has been my favorite so far because of his unique flashbacks and time travel oddities.

However props must go to Ben for his and Hurley's Appollo bar scene in season 4.

There are way too many great characters in the series which makes it difficult to choose, but my favorite from the beginning (other than Season 2) is John Locke. He always seems to know what is right for everyone, but excepts when he is wrong or that he can't do something right (except that time when he, well, you know). It was saddening to see the writers killed him off for good.

Second I would have to say Benjamin Linus. Quite possibly the best "villain" to ever grace television. He has every quality that villainous people in real life should have, and with a very interesting backstory and reasoning too.

The only characters I don't like very much are Jack, Kate and Juliet. They seem to me like the slower ones; they can't accept that there is much more than meets the eye to the island and it's mysterious properties. I'm glad Jack has started smartening up a bit by listening to Locke.

Hurley because he's the #1 guy I'd hang out with if I was a survivor. Not only that, but I find it that he also represents the audience considering he usually asks the most blatant questions that we want to know as well. I sorta find it interesting that Hurley can read spanish, but I don't recall him ever speaking it (not even his parents). It's nice to see some diversity (like Koreans, French, and Iraqi) but it's also nice to hear them. Why not hear a little bit of spanish? When Anna Lucia was still alive, I honestly thought I'd see at least one tiny spanish conversation with her and Hurley. But no biggie, it didn't happen.

Gonna have to go with Vincent on this one. From the beginning I had the thought that there was more to Vincent than meets the eye. I still feel that way for some reason.

Does the Smoke Monster count?

I've always liked Locke, Faraday, Sawyer, and Ben. Locke because of his deep faith in fate and destiny. Faraday because of his scientific knowledge of the Island and it's properties. Sawyer due to his sarcastic nature. And Ben for the way he manipulates people into doing whatever he wants.
