Lost has great female characters, they just don't know how to use them right.
|
I think there's two big problems with the female characters: bad casting and making them manipulative and/or deceptive. Plus what they've done to Kate over the triangle.

Kate was awesome in season 1 and she's still good.
|
I think Kate's best period ended when they had her become more positive towards Sawyer after he blackmailed her into kissing him.

It's the triangles fault that she's not as good as before. They really screwed her up...but I like what we've seen from the promos.
|
I wish they'd stuck with the jate they started out with, that worked so well for both characters.

Sun is in my opinion the best female on the island...she's such an interesting character and Yunjin is amazing.
|
Can't say I agree with that. I find Yunjin's performance corpse-like. And I hate the way they have her be deceptive repeatedly, it's more women-aren't-honest crap.

Libby was awesome and really had the potential, but she never got the chance.
|
I found Libby ok but nothing great. And they were going to make her another big deceiver.
Quote:
|
It was the same with Shannon, she never got the chance either.
|
I originally disliked Shannon. I gained some respect for her after Boone's death, she showed real feeling and had some dignity. But I never found her particularly impressive. And she was another of these women-are-manipulative characters.

By killing her they found an excuse to make Sayid background material too. I adore Sayid and it'd be a huge mistake to kill him.
|
Can't stand the guy, I find him totally false. Plus trying to pass off an Anglo-Indian as an Iraqi strikes me as racist, kind of like they're-all-the-same-out-there-those-dark-people.

Claire was great before she had the baby, nowadays she's not very exciting and they've made her background material too.
|
I'm very unimpressed with DeRavin's acting, so I've always found Claire utterly useless.
Quote:
|
I just wish she'd get rid off Charlie forever. She's so much better without him. If a character has to die, it's Charlie.
|
I don't like Charlie and Claire being together but I don't think they should kill Charlie. I find him one of the more convincing and textured characters, even though I'm not specially fond of him.
Quote:

They need to focus more on all the female characters and give them the screentime and material they deserve and need. I'd like to see more scenes between Alex and Claire.
|
They need to focus more on the good female characters -Alex and Danielle. And maybe add some more good ones. By casting Claudia Black and Lake Bell maybe. They should have recruited Amanda Peet before Studio 60 snapped her up.
But probably we shouldn't be getting into all this here, let's get back to stuff we agree on.
(Sorry about loading all those unappreciation opinions on you.)
