Our first all LOST tie of Round 3 is completed, with Benjamin Linus making it into the quarter finals, setting up a mouth watering tie with Fox Mulder for a place in the semi finals. So the quarter finals are beginning to take shape, and in mouth watering fashion. :) Who will win today? I can't say for certain, but on paper out of the LOST's two main characters, I would think Jack goes in a the favorite. But anything is possible here, and there's no denying that a match up between LOST's main romance, one of whom opened & closed the phenomenon that was LOST is a real exciting tie. Can Kate upset the odds. Of course she can. I'm excited to see which way it goes. It's Jack Shephard vs. Kate Austen. One more character from the show can make the Quarter Finals. Which will it be. Let the the battle commence....

In advance, the voting window is 24 hours, and I have set closing times for the poll, but if they do not work, or they aren't set at any point in the competition, the poll will close when I check the votes myself. This is not at all due to cheating, it's due to the fact that I will be busy and so please let's avoid the torrent of abuse that the infamous Smallville vs. The Vampire Diaries produced :P
Have fun guys, and any questions as always email me on:

Sorry I meant Sawyer... I don't know how I typed Jack... Probably because it is my son's name...
ReplyDeleteJack is back :) and god is he hot
ReplyDeleteJuliet
ReplyDeleteLove them both...but Jack is my choice! :)
ReplyDeletevoted kate. just for the hate.
ReplyDeleteshe lost to daniel faraday
ReplyDeletebut yeah, still crazy how whacked out these things have all been
especially locke losing!
We should have been more organised and started a conspiracy against Mulder! Maybe then Dean would have gotten through (though, I do love Mulder).
ReplyDeleteOr, wait... isn't there a conspiracy that Dean fans were voting against Sam? Or that Lost fans were voting against Supernatural? Or...
Man, too many conspiracies!
So you don't like either one (Jack included).
ReplyDeleteBut you like Jack and Locke (Jack included).
I'm confused by this contradiction.
Who cares? Sorry, I just don't like either one... We could take those same characters and plunk them down into any drama and they would blend.... Jack and Locke are more interesting.
ReplyDeleteJack is back :D
ReplyDeleteGo Jack!
I didn't need Kate from LOST to understand there's both light and dark within people. I got that from an early age.
ReplyDeleteThe reason I dislike Kate is because it seemed her Flashback stories never really had a plan. They were just there to try and piece together why she is a badass... but ultimately failed.
Saying that, I actually didn't mind Kate all that much when she was on the Island. It was the flashbacks, flashforwards, and flash-sideways I found completely pointless. And when they make up her past, future, and pergatory... it doesn't say all that much for her character.
FLASHBACK.
ReplyDelete"Ooh, toy plane... this makes me badass somehow."
Epic couple had to tie <3 lol! I can't pick!
ReplyDelete"Tell me I'm gonna see you again..."
*Insert epic kiss*
"I love you"
"I love YOU"
*thuds*
Only 1% difference.
ReplyDeleteNow it's more like it
ReplyDeleteHa, now that is close :)
ReplyDeleteJack Shephard (LOST) 50% (2,123 votes)
ReplyDeleteKate Austen (LOST) 50% (2,123 votes)
Crazy.
:)
ReplyDeleteHey! a Lost quote :D
ReplyDeletecouldn't agree more.
ReplyDeleteBut... girls have bewbs.
ReplyDeleteOr, LOST at all.
ReplyDeleteKate was awful.
Meh.
ReplyDeleteAs in life, not everything can go the way you want it to.
I think the reason why they're voting for Kate is because they are thinking she's more hotter than Jack than the acting perspective
ReplyDeleteI see a lot more people are interested in the girls more on TV shows in the past year than guys which is ridiculous
Good gravy! Kate is still winning. In fact, she's expanded her lead. If she wins, I'm guessing this is a huge bracket buster for a lot of people. This is too funny. :D
ReplyDeletewhy is Kate leading?? absurd.
ReplyDeletecouldn't agree anymore...perfect summary of this year's character competition so far.....I mean Kate just losing to Miles strome on DARKUFO...and here she is winning against Jack of all people.... John Locke losing to Spike from buffy....the competition ended for me the moment John Locke lost....jeez....
ReplyDeleteanother tough one, but I had to go with Jack. Loved Kate's redemption though :)
ReplyDeleteSorry to say it, but this doesn't seem like much of a competition anymore. A lot of the favourites are gone just because fans of other shows are voting against the popular characters in other shows just so they don't make it later into the competition. As a result we're going to end up with like a Liz Lemon vs. Seeley Booth final. :)
ReplyDeletelol..point proven...It is a conspiracy...Damn, Jack is losing this......Please those who dont watch, don't vote...
ReplyDeleteConsidering Kate's quick exit (against Miles of all people) on Dark UFO's Character Cup, this is crazy. My bracket is now officially over.
ReplyDeleteHere are a few Lost character face-offs that would be interesting:
ReplyDeleteKate vs. Sawyer
Jack vs. Locke
Locke vs. Ben
Because Jack insisted on getting all the castaways off the island, many of them died when the freighter blew up (as far as we know). Remember that Daniel had ferried several groups to the freighter prior to the explosion. Jack also insisted on moving to the caves, splitting up the group when he should have been keeping them unified. His greatest quality was also his worst flaw: stubbornness. And while in the end, he was the hero that saved the island, he was only able to do that because his stubbornness subsided. His actions and decisions did cause many people to die, including Locke (because Jack refused to listen to Locke) and Juliet to name just two.
ReplyDeleteI don't understand why so many people dislike Kate. She's one of the more interesting characters because she has many shades of gray in the scale of good/evil. She's the first character through whom we begin to understand that there is both light and dark within all people.
haha oh man...Kate winning to Jack let me laugh just a little more!
ReplyDeleteFor everyone that doesn't watch Lost, let me tell you that Kate is usually the most hated character on the show, especially at DarkUFO. Jack was a little hated too but after the season finale he was like everyone's favorite. So something is not right here :(
How the hell is Kate winning?
ReplyDeleteI mean...really?? Evangeline Lilly is pretty damn great, but Kate was never one of the strong characters. The way they wrote her episodes most of the time just made me not care and often cringe at Kate-centric episodes. She redeemed herself towards the end, but she easily loses against Jack.
Jack is amazing and one of my favorite characters on TV. Plus the last shot of the show with Vincent was epic. Kate - not even close. If she was up against Nikki/Paolo/Zoe and was winning, I would understand.
Maybe it's a conspiracy. The Firefly fans know Kate would be easier to pick off. :-P
ReplyDeleteAhh, you've got me there. I knew I'd forgotten something. But still, his leadership to character deaths ratio isn't bad in comparison to many of the other characters in leadership positions on the show.
ReplyDeletelol..I think those who dont watch Lost are voting for Kate just for the fun of it...Still can't believe Jack will eventually lose at this rate...
ReplyDeletei'm surprised it's so close. i voted jack
ReplyDeleteI don't like either of them, to be honest ... but I dislike Kate more. So, I guess, Jack it is.
ReplyDeletelol. Kate has no chance.
ReplyDeletebecause I liked Locke ;)
ReplyDeleteI find it hard how you didn't like Jack (especially in season 6) and liked LOST>
ReplyDeletecan't decide because I didn't like either of them lol
ReplyDeleteI voted Jack.
ReplyDeleteHe's my favorite Character on the show. And he had the perfect ending :)
Thanks Adam.
ReplyDeleteBrackets are updated.
Voted Jack as well :)
So did I. But Jack redeemed himself in the end for me because he finally believed Locke, and even defended him.
ReplyDeleteVoted for Jack, who surely is going to be the winner of this.
ReplyDeleteAnyone betting against a Jack Shephard v Elena Gilbert Quarter Final?
Kate is toast...Jack is the man and Kate is...well, Kate. I don't dislike Kate, but the internet does...haha
ReplyDeleteVoted for Jack :) My favorite LOST character!
ReplyDeletehow has the remaining lost characters been drawn against each other......
ReplyDeleteJust the luck of the draw
ReplyDeleteI voted for Jack. I really liked Kate but she can't compete with Lost's lead character. The luck of the draw is not with Kate Austen this round.
ReplyDeleteExactly. If LOST didn't have both characters, the show would have failed. Anyone who says differently is foolish.
ReplyDeleteJack, though it was once again a tough vote. Kate was such a great character, then they screwed her up, then they made her awesome again. Kate at her best was an amazing female character like we'd never seen!
ReplyDeleteJack sucks. Lame shouting idiot who lead everyone into their death. Plus his flashbacks/forwards were always the most boring. Kate it is.
ReplyDeleteJust a little tidbit for all you non-Lost fans. Darkufo (Lost fan site) is doing this same competition but with 64 LOST characters and Kate didn't get out of the second round. She lost to Danial Faraday. This means Kate has no chance
ReplyDelete*Edit* Well as of right now she's actually winning, I'm truly shocked.
Nope.
ReplyDeleteAnyone betting against a Fox Mulder vs. Elena Gilbert Semi Final?
We'll see...
ReplyDeleteI totally agree, the reason why people hate her so much, in my opinion, had nothing to do with the character herself but the way they wrote her in later seasons. She had so much potential until they just went crazy around the middle of season three and lost touch with the essence they'd been building on. Season five was the worst for her, like, that wasn't even the character of Kate at all--it was Evangeline Lilly still doing a brilliant job, it looked like her and sounded like her but it wasn't Kate.
ReplyDeleteWell, another difficult choice. They were both kinda annoying for me ;) Kate with her ongoing indecision who she wants to be with and Jack "The Hero" with his "I'll save them all" stuff ;)
ReplyDeleteBut I voted Jack because he was more meaningful character and, surprisingly, I even liked him in the last season.
Yeah but, nobody's said anything about "the show shouldn't have Jack."
ReplyDeleteIt IS okay to understand that a character is necessary but still not particularly like them. I didn't like 80% of the Lost cast but still enjoyed the show. I don't like Sam Winchester but couldn't watch Supernatural if he left.
It's a SpoilerTV conspiracy!!11eleventy1
ReplyDeleteI think it had more to do with her ever-increasingly lame flashbacks, right from the very beginning. A toy plane? Seriously?
ReplyDeleteWhen Kate was on the Island, she was alright. When they did her flashbacks, flashfowards, and flash-sideways, they just tried to make the character more awesome/badass than she actually was. It didn't work.
But Daniel Faraday was badass.
ReplyDeleteLMAO Poor Jaters, they have to choose only one of them. :)
ReplyDeleteTell me who Jack's leadership killed?
ReplyDeleteLocke's leadership got Boone killed, Eko nearly killed, and him giving the gun to Ana Lucia got her and Libby killed.
Sawyer trying to take charge got Jin, Sun, and Sayid killed, while if he'd listened to Jack, they'd poosibly have lived through the submarine.
But I don't recall any instances where Jack's leadership got anybody killed. Sure, he yelled a lot, but he made a good leader.
Interesting. Kate is getting much more votes than Jack atm. At this rate she will be ahead in an hour or so!
ReplyDeleteJack, of course!
ReplyDeleteBut Jack wouldn't mind being beaten by Kate :)
Gotta go with Jack.
ReplyDeletemost of people who voted Kate definitely did not watch season 6 of LOST.
ReplyDeleteJack <3
ReplyDeleteThe whole toy airplane flashback was admittedly less than believable. In the flash forwards, Kate has become a mother, which is why she is so different from who she was on the island. The trouble is that we didn't see her make the transition. One minute she says she's not good with babies and she won't even hold Aaron and the next minute she's his loving mother. I agree, it wasn't well executed. Still, I don't think this is reason enough for so many fans of the show to detest her.
ReplyDeleteAll of the characters are better people on the island, which is partially the point of the show. The biggest issue I always had with Kate was why she wanted to get off the island at all. Besides Locke and Rose, she has the single best reason to stay. It doesn't add up that she wants to get off the island so badly, especially so badly that she'd con Sun into poisoning one of the other castaways.
I loved Locke & Jack. I always believed LOST was at it's best in Locke/Jack Scenes.
ReplyDelete'Exodus' with the discussion on their way to the hatch, in the hatch in 'Orientation', the end of 'Through the Looking Glass.' 'The Life & Death of Jeremy Bentham' in the hospital. The list is endless.
LOST blew my mind when those two were on screen!
