I know that Michael's storyline is pretty serious.* It has been from the beginning.* I think that's one thing that makes viewers uncomfortable with his character.* Since Walt's kidnapping is going to ramp up the drama in Michael's storyline, it will be difficult to do anything about it at this point.* Still, I wish the writers would find a way to give Michael a sense of humor.* I'm sure you've noticed that the really popular characters are all given some really funny lines from time to time.* It's part of what makes their characters endearing.* Writers, please give people a chance to love Michael too!*

He had his comic moments in The Matrix movies. I loved it when he saw that Neo flew in and rescued Morpheus and the Key guy from the burnig semi trucks and threw up his hands and said, "YES", then threw his head down on the consul in front of him. He has too cute when he did that. He also had another funny moment in that same Matrix version when Neo put his hand in Trinity's chest and massaged her heart back to life. He just looked so wide eyed and said, "I cant take this anymore"! He was one of the best parts of the Matrix movies. 8)

Right on! I really agree with the idea of giving him more of a sense of humour

In fact what initially drew me to Michael were two early scenes of his which were quite comic! The scene where he walked in on Sun topless was priceless "I didn't see anything"...lol. But the BEST was the scene in Walkabout where he wanted Sun to look after Walt while he went on a boar hunt and he was trying to convey that with hand gestures and really exaggerated speech patterns. "I...am going off...on a hunt" (and then he makes that killing gesture with his hand...like he's stabbing something :laugh:). I just found him to be really endearing early on :) I think they sort of played up his temper and his impulsiveness much more as the show went on, which was okay...but they haven't given him many lighter moments since VERY early on...

And I agree...he needs more of them! ;D

Unintentional humor is the Han&Chewie moments with Jin. Those just cracked me up. :D

Krazy1, I agree that was cute.

I kinda liked the trial and error line when he's building the raft with Jin. And how the Korean he' s picked up on is faster and idiot. I think the funniest stuff is him trying to communicate with Sun in the beginning. :lol2:

Certainly, Michael has had a few amusing lines. I agree with the poster that the funniest thing for me was Michael trying to communicate with Sun before he knew she spoke English. The trouble is that other characters have had some real zingers. I suppose I want Michael to give Sawyer a nickname or something... ;)

I think that their is only one other on the island that can even begin to understand what Michael must be going thru. That person is now is Claire with Aaron. I may be off base but I beleive the writers are keeping Michael serious because unlike anyone else, (cept Claire) they have others depending on them. Just my opinion

Oh, I agree Cortez. I just think that most people use humor to keep their sanity in desperate situations. Having a child depending on you would tend to augment the seriousness of the situation, but it doesn't preclude the need to stay sane. Also, I think most people would be trying to maintain their cool for the sake of the child, not wanting to stress the child any more than necessary. Granted, Michael is new to fatherhood, but I still think that every now and then there should be an opening for Michael to cut loose. Of course, I suppose all bets are off until Walt is returned to Michael. A grieving parent is obviously going to be very serious about his grief.
