Season 1 Favorite Characters

My favorite characters from Season 1, in no particular order.

Charlie

One of the characters that I identify with the most, before he got annoying in Season 2. The underdog, the guy most people don't notice, but at the same time is complex and very capable. For being a bloody rockstar and his one-liners.

Hurley

You'd think he's there for pure comic-relief, but you'd be wrong. A complex, and haunted character just like everyone else, only he hides it well. For always making me laugh, for the numbers, and for his comradery with Charlie.

Sayid

The most intelligent character on the show. I identify with his struggle between his heart and mind. He's done some dark things in his life, but he's a good person and still has a tremendous heart. He longs for a woman he hasn't seen or heard from in years, but he still has hope.

Sawyer

A guy that appears to be an asshole, but is incredibly complex and tortured by the things that have happened in his past. For being incredibly dark, but still providing comedy and witty nicknames for everyone on the island. A man that will have redemption.

Locke

The adventurer, the man of faith on the island. He's been through so much in his life. He's been screwed over so much and never really had anything. He was in a wheelchair before he crashed on the island and now he's walking like it's nothing. For his mystery, for finding his place on the island.

Rousseau

Who is she? Is she telling the truth? For being on the island for 16 years, the transmission, and for being completely insane.

Honorable mentions:
Claire, when she was sweet and sane, before she had the baby.
Kate, when she was complex, before the love triangle.
