The Actors of Lost

You've gotta give it to the actors on Lost. They are brilliant!

The storyline is withering; bordering on reason and nye on impossible to follow. The timeslot is poor. Only a few diehard fans are able to put off one hour every Wednesday night to watch the show go on. Yet the actors and actresses, most notably Josh Holloway (Sawyer), Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet) and Naveen Andrews (Sayid) put on a fantastic display of acting prowess and skill every week, and with passion.

Sawyer and Juliet are almost the most unlikely couple, and yet, the chemistry between Holloway and Mitchell is beautiful to watch. Josh in his role of the 'sheriff' Sawyer, and the inkling of feelings he shows towards Kate is almost heartbreaking.

As a true, true fan of the show, it is so nice to sit back and appreciate the masterpieces the cast produce every week. I love watching the emotional tussels of Ben, Locke and Jack, the comedy of Hurley and Sawyer, and tension between Kate and Juliet. To the eye of the non-fanatical Lost fan, the show may seem to be a fading flame, a shadow of the show that was once so epic and powerful. Yet in the eyes of the die-hard follower, the show is yet to loose it's touch of brilliance.
