Farraday

Hardrain

How can people stand this guy, the stupid awkward movements he does with his body, his whispery voice, his inability to say a few words without dragging it out into

"A erm Long kind of mmmmm ahhhhhhhh mmmm What I mean mmmmm ahhhhhhhhh is aaaaaaaaaaaa mmmmmmmm well mmmmmmmmm"

Every scene he is in it happens. Nearly put my foot through the tv over this guy.

I think he is great. By far the best new character to be introduced this season imo

loon

terrible physicist though.

his notebook didn't contain any vector equations... hmmmm.

gustavo

I suppose he is the most decent of that group that came to rescue the losties , least likely to turn out to be a total ****, I think Jeremy Davies has a history of incorporating various tics into his characters too

Kiith

He's the best new character since Desmond and Eko.

loon

he's a cock.

why can't he just say stuff instead of hinting.

"well... er, um... your er ... perception of time ...um... here on the ... erm island... er... may um... not... er ... quite be... um... what one is erm... supposed to erm... logically perceieve as um... the natural erm... progression of um... time."

so something related to the effects of time on the island is funky... spit it out fecktard.

Have any of yous seen Rescue Dawn with Christian Bale, the guy who plays Faraday is in it and he is playing the exact same character he plays in lost. I think all his word whiskers aren't acted but that he actually has them. Its like the writers said "right we need someone whos a social reject, weedy looking and irritating and who could pass as a loser who jacks off whilst dissecting mice"... when the guy who plays Faraday walked in they must of thanked their lucky stars

IMHO Jeremy Davies was superb in Saving Private Ryan, with no signs of tics. As for in LOST, big fan of his character. Taking forever to deliver a cryptic sentence, that's hardly a shocking thing for Lost now is it? The only straight talking i've seen in Season 4 comes from the likes of the Freighter Captain, Keamy, Sawyer etc.

What do you want him to do, comes straight out and say why they are on the Island? Which would probably also render a lot of the remaining 37 episodes useless! I really like Miles, Faraday, Charlotte, Lapidus etc, solid additions.

Ben has started to open up to the Losties(Locke anyway). He is the best character on the show. Faraday is a bit annoying.

pickarooney

He's an asshat. The scientists all asshats in fact. I preferred Ana Lucia and that's saying something.

:pac: Best description of him yet!

Also Starring LeVar Burton

Faraday is a legend. Easily one of my favourites, 2nd only to Eko in fact. Jack's an absolute w**kstain, and people have put up with him for 4 years, what's with the whole Faraday bashing?

kerash

That guy was also in the movie Twister, playing a similar type character. I like him tho
dont find him annoying, but his story is unfurling quite slowly.

Mr.Nice Guy

Like the OP I've no idea why he's so popular with people. All he does is stutter and squint a lot.

Gillie

I like him.

Can't stand that red haired bitch who hangs round with him though!
I want her to die...quite quickly!

Malice

I've worked with genius types before and I have to say that he plays the part perfectly. In the beginning he was crossing the line between sympathy and irritation for his nervousness. I really like the bit where he got angry with Charlotte and said something like "Charlotte.....You're....really..NOT...helping". You could see he was torn between wanting to give out to her but not annoy her too much .

As CaptainNegative says, he compares very favourably to the wooden part of Jack.

Zombrex

I think he is great, and plays the part of the socially arkward genius very well.

What I do find annoying, and unrealistic, is that all the other cast never follow up with him. For example he told Jack ages ago that "Ummm, rescuing you isn't, umm what you would say umm our primary mission" Jack asked what was their primary mission but something interrupted them.

You would think that Jack at some point in the last week, would have gone back to him and asked him again.

But then again I've always found things like that in Lost to be highly unrealistic, the way no one seems to ever follow up or ask questions until they get an answer. Of course it is a way to tease the audience, and a show about a 50 foot smoke monster isn't necessarily going for "realistic"

I do find it distracting from the story though

BazBox

great character i think, the way he takes ages to explain stuff just adds to his character that he tries to explain everything in simple terms so everyone can understand what the hell he is saying!

doctor evil

Great character, not bad looking either. I wish at times he would give Charlotte a smack.

She'd probably have no hesitation in hitting him back. She'd probably beat him quite easily in a fight!

Glydeside white

He is pretty cool though, he is just the kind of guy the show needed, we have too many wooden heroish type guys like jack and sayer and sayid. Hurley is my fav though, he is so cool. By the way is it just me or has kate become increasingly fit. She is such a babe its unreal!!:)

True

I don't find Sawyer or Sayid wooden at all, they can become quite animated when needs be. Jack on the other hand, Meh, wasn't too fond of him in Party of Five not too fond of him now.

I agree with you about Jack, not with the other two. Sayid is a great character I think. I could see him being calm and serene regardless of his situation, whether he's taking a walk along a beach or killing someone with his bare hands! Sawyer seems to have his heart in the right place since coming to the island. Unfortunately he's far from the brightest of people which often results in consequences .

Couldn't agree more. Jack is doing my head in completely. What a ponse!

Faraday is good with all his quirks and the other 3 (redzer, pilot and whats his name) are good too.

BTW, this thread is hilarious.

loon

jack should have died in the pilot... you should never make such major plot changes because of the fans.

maybe he'll drown in his wetness.
