I finally finished watching Lost a couple of weeks ago. It took me a long time to even consider watching it, and then when I did, I was hooked, of course. Then it took me a fairly long time to get through it as I was only allowed to watch it with my friend Jen, who was the one who convinced me to watch it in the first place.
All the time I was watching, I was constructing a mammoth Tuesday Treat post in my head, full of all the men that I fancied. There’s a lot, so consider this fair warning. (It should go without saying that you will find no Matthew Fox here. No sir.)

John Locke, as portrayed by Terry O’Quinn, is probably my favourite Lost man (it’s a very close run thing between him and the second person on my list). I don’t know what it is that I love so much about him, but I adore him. Even when he’s being an arse, and doing things that make other people literally want to kill him.

Nestor Carbonell, who plays Richard Alpert, is the person who pushes Locke closest for first place. I think it’s pretty much a dead heat, because just look at that face. Those eyes! He doesn’t appear in Lost for ages, and when he does, he doesn’t pop up half as much as I’d like him to. But it’s always a treat when he does.

From here on in, the list doesn’t really rank my favourites, but Daniel Faraday is definitely up there, so I thought I’d include him next. He also doesn’t arrive for a long time, and doesn’t stick around for long, but there’s something so very endearing about him. I hate, hate, hate the fact that he is in love with Charlotte, because I hate her, but I love the way he talks, and how clever he is, and how cute he is. Jeremy Davies, who plays him, won an Emmy for his role in Justified, which is further proof that I need to check that show out.

Somehow it was really difficult to find a photo of Henry Ian Cusick looking at his Desmond-best. I can’t put my finger on what is wrong with that photo, but there’s something. Anyway, Desmond is actually one of my favourite characters, so the fact that he is played by a delightful looking man is just a bonus. (He tweeted me too, which makes me love him that little bit more.)

Ah Sawyer. So problematic to me. I know, know, that I am supposed to find him attractive, but there’s something that just stops me from doing so. I am including Josh Holloway here, because I think if I didn’t I’d get shouted at by my friends Jen, Hannah and Richard, but in all honesty, he doesn’t do a lot for me. I like Sawyer a lot though. I was very happy with how his story ended.

Daniel Dae Kim may have the best bone structure of any man alive. Jin was such an arse to begin with, but by the end he was one of my favourite. He and Sun are my second favourite Lost couple (after Penny and Desmond, obviously), and I love the way his story develops throughout the series.

I don’t know if other people (apart from Hannah) agree with me over Michael Emerson’s attractiveness. At first, when Ben first arrived, I couldn’t see how Hannah could like him, but as time went on, I started to agree with her. There’s definitely something about him, even if Ben is an arsehole throughout most of the series. Also, he has an obsession with a shoulder bag that drives me up the wall. He uses one at all times, on the island, in flashbacks, flash forwards and flash sideways. So impractical, especially on the island.

Dominic Monaghan is a funny one, because I forget how much I like him in the face of my apathy towards Charlie. It’s not that I don’t like him (though at times he really does my head in), it’s just that I can’t really bring myself to love him. Also, he spends far too much time with Claire, who I hate, and he kind of gets damned by that, for me. Dominic Monaghan, on the other hand, is a delight, especially when he hasn’t got stupid Charlie Pace hair.

For a while, Sayid was a major favourite with me. There’s something very attractive about a man who is so capable, and Sayid is pretty capable. He’s exactly the sort of man you’d want around if your plane crashed onto a mystical and island full of scary natives. I feel a bit bad for Sayid, because I think his big exit got sidelined by Jin and Sun. And hearing Naveen Andrews talk with his London accent is utterly charming. I love it.

I’m including Jacob here, but to be honest I’m still on the fence about him. Mark Pellegrino is kind of funny looking, right? I think I like his quietness as Jacob. There’s something appealing about him, I just can’t put my finger on what it might be.

Ah Frank. I feel like I should love Frank Lapidus more than I do, because he could not be more my type. I do love him, just not as much as I thought I would. My favourite thing about Frank is how he looks after Sun when they get back to the island. Finding a photo of Jeff Fahey was hard, though. Seriously, he looks utterly ridiculous as a young man.

Ah, the Man in Black, played by Titus Welliver. Sadly, although the Man in Black is a major character, we don’t get to see Titus Welliver as much as I would like. Look at that face. Utterly beautiful.
