Default Kill off Desmond

I really think it’s about time the Lost writers killed off Desmond. Every time he’s on screen he irritates me and why does he have to call everyone “brother”. Henry Ian Cusick is a terrible actor and the character of Desmond is very unimportant in the whole scheme of things. They’ve killed off some great characters like Charlie and Mr Echo and yet Desmond is still there. Please kill off the character. Does anyone else agree that Desmond is a character just not a worth keeping he’s not in the Oceanic 6 and serves no real purpose.

I totally disagree.. his character is central to possible upcoming storylines..

Claire..and Charlies Greatest Hits List..
Evil Penny and the Widmore connections
Kelvin and his possible return...
Farady's Constant
Freighter mutiny possibility..or similar events on the ship..

Not to mention the Jewelry Store Lady and the Monk....

His acting has been fine... his introduction was excellent and his overall contributions through the writers have been quite dynamic...

"So Brother"... I am all for a continuing Desmond.... Long Live Desmond!!!!! until he kills Evil Penny Widmore..... then you can toast him....

I'm sorry but are you nuts????

Desmond links together so many of the storylines. He is essential and is loved by many Lost fans. His episodes are always compelling and always move the story forward.

"The Constant" was many fans' favorite episode of all time for a reason!

You have to be kidding to say that 1] HIC is a terrible actor as he is one of the MOST believable actors around today ... in film or on TV. And 2, how can you say that Desmond is not centric to the story? Have you not seen The Constant yet? Do you not think that Widmore Industries (which was on the balloon of the real Henry Gale and the pregnancy test that Sun used) is connected to all of this and with Des' involvement with Widmore's daughter, Penny, how can he not be crucial to the story?

Sounds to me like you're just sour over some of your faves being killed off. I'm sorry to see them go, too but your views on Ian's acting and Desmond being crucial to the story are truly unfounded. We all have opinions and we're all entitled to express them but when fans the world over shout his praises, magazines (online and off) rave about his talent and even Damon and Carlton describe his performance as "the winning quarterback" ... you're simply out-numbered by those that know talent and by the fans. Sorry.

I must admit that you are the very first person I have ever come across, online or in real life, that has said anything negative about his performance. He is a stellar actor worthy of the Emmy that he was nominated for on Lost.

What??? You signed up here just to troll post?

I hate to flame, but frankly I think you are either retarded or trolling. Since this is your first post, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt and going with troll. As for the retard part, time will be the judge of that one.

I agree with you kind of that he can be a little bit annoying sometimes... But now killing him off would be the worst idea ever.

Are you insane?
Do you even watch the show? All the main elements in the show revolve around him. Pretty much every episode he stars in is amazing, and he's a great actor. if he gets killed off i would be really pissed, hes one of my favorite characters
