The Henry Gale episodes have been my most frequently re-watched episodes to date. Though they're actually the only re-watched episodes to date, now that I think about it.

I should probably watch his The Practice episode, to see what the fuss is about. But that would mean watching The Practice…

Spoilery too.

I did. I can see why some wouldn't, but I did.

I think he's 5'8"….he seems shorter because he's usually around people who are taller than he is.

They both did at various points in the series.

The submarine was the start; him killing Naomi is what finished it for me.

The writer's strike was partly to blame too; I think they had more planned for Michael but had to cut it short.

Maybe the fact that he was unrepentant about his sins? Interesting theory, anyway.

I think my favorite moment of Emerson as an actor in Lost is when he's trying to play Ben at 20. He tried…oh god, he tried…but as good as he is, even he couldn't pull it off. I had to actually pause the screen because I couldn't stop laughing at the audacity of it.

Michael and Walt had JUST started to get along when Walt was kidnapped, and I think Michael was beginning to think "hey, I can do this…I can be a father…I just need to get off this damn Island". And when Walt was taken, he went off the deep end. He wasn't rational anymore.

That's the moment I stopped caring about Locke. But it wasn't because he murdered Naomi (terrible of me, I know).

Probably both.

I do. I would be PISSED beyond hell if anyone gave Finch the beatdowns that Ben regularly got. Then I would want Reese to put the smackdown on THEM.

Agreed. It just wouldn't have worked, even if it did make me feel really sad for him.

I was more thinking of interactions with Alex, but there were also times he was benign (and quite a few where he *seemed* benign). I think they could have managed it. I don't know which I would have preferred more; having Alex be the one to wake him up, or Locke. Either way would have been interesting.

I never got a sexual vibe, but definitely a protector one.

Season Six spoilers:

I really liked Michael pre-Walt kidnapping, and really hated him post-Walt kidnapping. Never had I had such a whiplash.
