The Lost Diary

I've been debating for awhile now what my next List should be. I don't feel obligated to do something "Lost"-related every time, but I figured I should try.
 
Now, I have excluded Locke and Henry from this list for two reasons: 1) They would obviously be the top two and 2) I am not ready to decide which of the two would get the top spot. It's the Sophie's Choice of "Lost."
 
Without further ado ...
 
5. Jin
 
Pretty solid ranking for a guy who doesn't speak English. No one on television says more without saying anything like he does. He is stoic, he is solid, he is consistent -- Jin is a rock with a heard of gold.

I'm pulling a bait and switch today -- no Diary (I'll post it tomorrow, so come back then). Instead, I am introducing what I am thinking will be my next regular column: The List.

I love lists. I love ranking things. I like saying "this thing here is better than the one before it, but not as good as the one to come." I especially love ranking things in pop culture. My favorite movie ("Fight Club"), my favorite musician ("Prince") or my favorite show about the survivors of a plane crash ("Two and a Half Men").

So that brings me back to The List. I don't know if it will be every week yet, but I definitely think it could be. And it's completely interactive and definitely liable to spark major debate. You have 3 things to do with every List:

1) Read my List.
2) Post your own (if I do 10, don't feel you have to. If I only do five, feel free to post more).
3) Send me suggestions for the next one.

These won't all be "Lost" related and they don't all have to be television or even pop culture. Much like the L.D.Q.A. I hope to keep it loose and random and fun. So let's see if this works, shall we? Here I present to you the first List.

Top 10 "Lost" Quotes From Season 3

10. "Well, I know your name as well as I know that you that don't ask Penny to marry you. In fact, you break her heart. Well, breaking her heart is, of course, what drives you in a few short years from now to enter that sailing race, to prove her father wrong, which brings you to the island where you spend the next 3 years of your life entering numbers into the computer until you are forced to turn that failsafe key. And if you don't do those things, Desmond David Hume, every single one of us is dead. So give me that sodding ring!" -- Ms. Hawkins, "Flashes Before Your Eyes."
 
One of the better lines from the trippiest episode of "Lost" ever. I loved the whole pseudo-flashback thing.
