Description 24 Sawyer - Lost
30 Character Challenge
Other Characters: [link]

Famous for the long-con, Sawyer here is lying to you already whether you've met him or not. I've watched all six seasons of Lost and I think Sawyer has the most interesting and dynamic story to tell of everyone. His relationships, his nicknames, his trustworthiness in spite of his reputation, the fact that he needs reading glasses... sure guys like Charlie and Hurley are more fun to hang out with and folk like Ben and Locke were more badass (and people like Jin and Jack looked better with their shirts off) but inexplicably at the end of it all Sawyer was my favorite character. I'm not going to spoil any more than that... Lost is all about twists and turns and saying any more than I already have would cheapen the effect.

Count me among those who were disappointed with the end of Lost. I wanted to love it, I really did... but we got what we got and I can't change that. At least everyone's happy somewhere right? We'll rest on that. I'm not going to recommend Lost to everyone, people who can't sleep at night wondering how everything will pan out and are pissed off at loose ends will not be able to handle the commitment of six seasons of a show like this - but people who like a good ride; people who love the rollercoaster of a good mindbender and will have fun watching along and treasure the answers they get - then I can't recommend it enough.

And anyone watching Persons Unknown this summer... it's Lost lite. You want some serious marooned-people action I suggest you take a seat at the grownup table.

This is lovely.
I agree about the finale, I am still so disappointed. I didn't like it one bit (I didn't like the characters "resolution", it wasn't satisfying at all for me) and it ruined the whole show for me. I'm never gonna rewatch it again.
So I agree. Except for the part where you say jack looks better without his shirt... no
Why do you call him "Tom"? He just went with the "Sawyer" nickname, his name is James

But, um, wasn't he called James Sawyer? I mean, the "Sawyer" part was definitely referencing Tom (and I remember that 'Sawyer' was of course not his real name), but I'm pretty sure that even when he was conning everyone he still went by James as his first name. To be sure, by the end of the show they were still calling him Sawyer, but also calling him James.

Did that make sense?

I'd have to go back and watch the first season to be sure, but I'm fairly confident in the first season he went by Tom Sawyer because that was the name of the con-artist who led to his parents deaths. I always thought it was Tom... because I remember thinking "John Locke, Tom Sawyer, someone likes homaging people" but i might also be stupid...

he could have easily never mentioned his first name until he was called out on it and I always assumed it was Tom like I assumed he took both the first and the last name of the conner.

Hm, I'ma go look it up right now, just a sec...

... Okay. the conman who destroyed his family called himself "Tom Sawyer." I knew somebody did, but I didn't think it was our Sawyer. Sawyer himself then took the last name of that guy's alias, calling himself either James Sawyer or just Sawyer. His real name was James Ford.

I loved lost. Actually, still do.I followed it from beginning to end, through frustration and confusion.Even when my fav character(Locke) died, I continued to watch.I have mixed feelings about the finale.I love the characters, and was very happy for them, but there are things I wish they would have answered... ANYWAY.this drawing is awesome. And I love your description of him.

OH MY GOD SAWYER! I knew who this was just form the little thumbnail in my messages!
I have only seen the first two seasons, but then we got lost (lol, bad pun) cause the time change, so we just gave up on it. I always loved Sawyer and Locke the most. They both ROCKED!
Beautiful job on this!

When it comes to Lost you just roll with it... understanding is asking too much.

No, I was meaning that we couldn't watch the episodes in order anymore. I was having fun with the being confused all the time. I wish that more series were like that.
We kept skipping and going back and it just wasn't fun with watching shows we already had seen, or ones way past where we were.
It was sad....I miss that series....

Go look it up on ABC dot com. That's where I watched the whole thing (except for the beginning of season6 which I had to surf-the-channel for.

O.o I don't remember them ever referring to him as Tom. Sawyer, yes, Tom no. >.>; It kind of annoyed me though that they never really called him Sawyer anymore in the last season. Oh well.

They did a couple times. People not in the 70s with him called him Sawyer and I remember Jin calling him Sawyer once for some reason - maybe he was talking to Sun.

Homygosh, I didn't know you watched the show!! I was a hardcore fan precollege and during, and while I was at home where my parents had the dish. Then the *spoiler* time jumping *end* happened and I kinda lost interest... I didn't like the ending, like you mentioned, loose ends.

But! Very drool-worthy picture!!!

And... Hey! He does too look good with his shirt off!! ^_~

He's got kind of a weird ribcage... but that's probably just my opinion because he's shirtless all the time.

Oh, my god, Sawyer.

He's like my favorite character too. I didn't read much of your artist's comment because I'm only part of the way through season 2 and I don't want to be spoiled, but needless to say, I'm a sucker for the snarky assholes.
