This is a hard one for us because Desmond's character was written so beautifully that he just interacted with everyone in the cast incredibly. So who will it be?

Penny
Libby
Jack
Locke
Widmore
Inman
Kate
Claire
Anyone else?

Locke most especially..."Hello yourself, Boxman"...doesn't get any better than that!
Widmore..."You're a b*stard"
Kelvin...luv 'em roomates - and Clancy rules!
Jack...but of course
Penny...because of the pain in his eyes
Libby...because I love Cynthia

Fun thread, lass!

Penny! But I wish we'd seen more of that interaction. Why don't you add a poll?

I love him and Locke! The whole "boxman" thing is adorable.

Jack and Desmond are also quite fun to watch.

And of course, Kelvin and Des!! Namaste and good luck.

As far as who I'd like to see Desmond interact with, well:

Sawyer, cause I would overheat at them just standing next to one another./

Henry Gale, because for some reason I think they would have very interesting conversations.

Him and Locke together is great. The boxman thing kinda makes me chuckle. I think him and Danielle would have a pretty cool interaction.

Not fair to include Penny on the list, Desmondslass! Of COURSE, he's gonna interact best with HER! :D

You know where I stand--J A C K !

Locke is also excellent.


Looking forward to interaction with James, natch! :thumbsup:

And it'd be VERY interesting for him to meet up with Fenry! :eek:

Locke and Jack because they have a past together, they ran together :grin:

Folks, I'm posting it here, too, in case you don't check out the Can You Imagine Desmond thread--

The second group of LOST figures is/are up for pre-order! And

DESMOND

is one of them! :kicking: :clap:

The second group of characters will be shipped out next May, but you can order now. This time around, we have:

Desmond, James, Sayid, Eko, Jin and Sun!!

Here's the link:

www.clarktoys.com/lose2mcpr.html (http://www.clarktoys.com/lose2mcpr.html)

No pix of any of the figures yet--but they'll all interact well with Desmond, yeah? :wink1:

Great thread, and difficult choice, Desmond is such a social creature, he interacts well with anybody.

-Penny, for obvious reasons
-Jack, also
-Locke, they might have many things to share in the future as well
-Claire, there might be a twist to that in the future
-Widmore, cuz the collected, focused way of treating him was so great (also, the "b..d" line lol)

Looking forward to interaction with Sawyer (I expect fireworks!) and Fenry (wonder how his mindgames will work with Des?)

Jack--he makes a perfect foil for him.
Penny--the love of his life.
Locke--called him, "Boxman."
Widmore--called him a B____________d.
Claire--very caring toward her.
Sayid--I suggest you find someone who does.

Well, Desmond is everybody's bud. I am looking forward to more interactions with the Losties.

MerryMac

Now that I've re-watched the scenes with him and Kelvin, I love Desmond in those scenes. He's politely asking all these questions and Kelvin is barely civil back to him. But Desmond just keeps being polite; he has questions he needs answered, so he asks them. It's not so much these two characters are interacting exactly, but it's more like Desmond asking questions and Kelvin growling back. Anyway, I love watching Desmond in those scenes.

I love him with Locke. "boxman" haha

I loved him with these three:

Jack...because they are so different and just played well off of each other
Claire...I think they had tons of romantic potential...lots of chemistry!
Libby...also tons of chemistry

My favorite character he interacted with is Locke because they were in agreement in the beginning regarding pushing the button and then at odds. Then in the end Desmond was trying to encourage Locke. They spent more time together than any others I think and there was a lot more variety to their interaction.
I liked the little blooper with Desmond and Locke too on the dvd when Desmond fires the warning shot.

Looking forward to interaction with Sawyer (I expect fireworks!)
I don't. Desmond's a very amicable fellow, and always trying to be encouraging and reasonable. I think he'll recognize James' little techniques to keep people at arms' length
. . .and promptly NOT take the bait! He'll quickly see that he can't get James to "lift it up" any more than he could with Jack! :D

What I think he WILL take note of is that when people talk to him with respect, value his opinion, listen to what he has to say, and (on a lighter note) just banter around with him, he is a far more pleasant guy to be around. When he sees that you don't have an angle when dealing with him (or, conversely, can win in a friendly battle of wits!), he'll deal straight with you.

Jack's relationship to James is at its best (meaning, the two can find common ground) when Jack approaches James the ways explained above. With Desmond, that ability to get along comes far more naturally. Des is who he is. James will see that (and that he's no super-moralistic pain in the keester, like a certain doctor he knows), and react respectfully/accordingly. THEIR friendship will come easy!

I can picture one such exchange:

JAMES: So when are you gonna give us that bagpipe recital, Braveheart?

DESMOND: When y'all do me the honor of a duet, with your banjo, brutha!


James ain't got a chance against Desmond! :laughing:

I was wondering Ginia when someone would bring the Blooper up on DVD it was too funny. Poor Locke; Desmond almost hit him! :rotflmao2:

DESMOND: When y'all do me the honor of a duet, with your banjo, brutha!

OMG!! That would be hilarious, STH! I completely agree, I can see Desmond getting along with anyone. Though, I'm interested in what he'd say to "Henry". Seriously, I want to see that!

:wavey:, LIM! Always good to hear from you!

I still suspect that Fenry's a Widmore, and that Desmond's crossed paths with him before--maybe when Penny brought him to a family function, or something. If so, Desmond and Fenry meeting on the Island would prove quite interesting. . . .

It would be an equally interesting meeting if Henry was really Radzinsky. (my personal theory about him).

I really liked Desmond's interactions with Locke and Kelvin. I'd love to see more of both. (I also believe Kelvin is still alive and that maybe we haven't seen the last of him. I'll have to see if I get proven wrong this season.)

You see, STH, I'm not really disagreeing with you. That's because by "fireworks" I meant exactly

(or, conversely, can win in a friendly battle of wits!),

This is hilarious! :24: Exactly my kind of conversation!

Thank yew, Lea, thank yew!

Thank yew, Lea, thank yew!

Well... You do know that I support the Friendketeers, dontcha? :biggrin:

Also, considered hinting your ideas to TPTB? (if they ever fall short on inspiration...)

I'm not liking TPTB very much right now, Lea. Foilergate and all that, ya know. :mad:

I'm not liking TPTB very much right now, Lea. Foilergate and all that, ya know. :mad:

All the more reasons to hit a bit sense into them, right? :biggrin: (I am getting tired of the spoiler-section myself. Contented with what I know, thank you very much :mad: )


All I wanna know is, Desmond is alive! :clapping:


I think I left out Libby earlier. I look forward to


more Libby - Desmond interaction in the FBs ;)

Desmond had great chemistry with Locke and Libby...............hope we see a lot more of their interaction in Season three! ;)

No doubt about it for me, I love Des with Locke. They are both so interesting and exciting. Great together.

I also think his interaction with Locke is the most interesting. I loved when they met again (and the snowman thing). But I also like Libby, I really want to know more about them together...

It would be an equally interesting meeting if Henry was really Radzinsky. (my personal theory about him).

Agree with everything you've said xgirl.

And in addition to those three, I really loved his time with Libby, they had an instant connection I think.

Well, since you asked my favorite I have to say Locke. Even though his interaction with Jack outside before he ran off was amazing, I love his interaction with Locke the best. I think those two are going to become fantastic friends!

Ya think Locke will take Des now to scavenger? Cos' that brings back sad memories :eek2:


With Jack gone and Des the new doc Locke will find S3 really comfortable :biggrin:

Ya think Locke will take Des now to scavenger?

With Jack gone and Des the new doc (spoiler-fonted like YOU should have done with this sentence, hint, hint!)

I think you answered your own question, Lea!

Desmond will stay close to where his patients are--especially with the EMT aftereffects added to all the other ailments lostaways will have!

Personally, if Locke goes off into the jungle again
on a quest or mission,
his likeliest companion would be, IMHO, either Eko or Sayid, who will have their OWN reasons for wanting to go hither and yon on the Island. It'd be interesting to see how Locke handles a partner who's an equal, and not a sidekick!

As for Desmond,
think beach! :laughing:

Ok, did that, but it wasn't info, it was just me speculating... :rolleyes:

That sounds really good to me ;)

With Jack gone and Des the new doc
With The 'Lage's definition of a spoiler being anything that hasn't aired yet,
they'd consider the well-established knowledge of Jack staying with The Others and Desmond being alive as Still Spoilers. Silly, I know--but it's THEIR definition, and we must respect their perimeters when posting here! :smile:
Only two more weeks before a goodly percentage of spoiler fonting can be given the boot! Hang in there! :thumbsup:

I know what you're saying, you are right too. But it was only me speculating, not proven fact. Until S3 is aired, nothing is certain.

DESMOND IS ALIVE BROTHA! AND HE'LL INTERACT WITH EVERYBODY! :10:

Just had to get it out of my system :biggrin:

Always good to get things out of your system--before someone gets hurt! :D

Ya think Locke will take Des now to scavenger? Cos' that brings back sad memories :eek2:

I think that Locke learned his lesson about that. When he talked to Eko about Boone's death, it really showed that he had learned that everything he thinks isn't always right ... and the mistake of the computer only compounded that!

Absolutely. And Des won't be stupid to follow him blindly to his doom. "Are you sure about this?" He needs to be convinced first, and no one knows it better that Locke is not unfailable ;)

CLAIRE!

But I really like his interactions with Locke/Jack too ... and I'm betting if Desmond lives ;) there'll be some great interaction with Charlie too!

Sawyer, cause I would overheat at them just standing next to one another.OMG Yes! I'm drooling just thinking about it!!

I liked the little blooper with Desmond and Locke too on the dvd when Desmond fires the warning shot.I've GOT to see this! Anyone know if its anywhere online yet? I've gotta wait for Santa to get my DVD's :( And thats only if I'm nice!

I'm esspecially looking to forward to the 'possibility' of Desmond and Hurley interactions, particulary after seeing the new promo photos for episode 2! Why is Desmond wearing Hurley's shirt??? Did Hurley find him naked in the jungle??? Why wasn't I there??? :eek2:

Yeah...I know...that's what I wondered too!

I was so

excited when I saw him in the promo pics for Eppy 2!!!

Here is the link to the second episode of season three,

Desmond is wearing Hurley's t-shirt, and it looks like both have been slightly injured. Desmond is among the living. Here is the link: http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage.php?album=1168&pos=1 It kind of reminds me of the sleep-shirts that I wear to bed

Like a lot of others have said, I like Desmond's interaction with Locke. And Jack. But he's great with anybody! He's so freaking charismatic.

I can't wait to see him with some other people in S3... I can't wait to see how he and Hurley interact. And I'd love to see him have some scenes with Eko, and with Charlie too. Well, like I said, he's great with anybody! :biggrin:

Funny! :24:

And the funniest is, you are right too!

Very true, you know. His scenes all alone are AWESOME. Graciously sharing the screen with other characters is grand. But to be able to graciously share the screen with yourself? How many actors/characters can do THAT?!

CLAIRE!

A split, split second and he's gone behind the wall. It's really Terry's blooper. BUT the behind the scenes of Des and Libby in the coffee shop and the filming of the storm at sea are fab and you see him in those. He's so cute applauding with everyone after Cynthia's good-bye speech.

He was also adorable with Sayid when asked for the boat.

I liked Des with Jack but it seemed such a love-hate relationship. When Des got close in the last scene of Orientation; Jack I think finally melted.......under Desmond's charm. :4:

:clap:Very true, very true! Actually Desmond was the only one who could get Jack let down his guard if even for a brief second. Should he have a chance, he'll have a great influence on the hero doctor :biggrin:

Should he have a chance, he'll have a great influence on the hero doctor :biggrin:
Understatement of the series!! :D

When Jack finally breaks down and weeps, letting Desmond hold him and assure him that it's OK to let it all out--THAT'S the moment I'M waiting for. THAT'S the birth of the friendship. Cuz when Jack lets go like that, it means there are no barriers between them. You can't have a true friendship till you have no barriers between you and the friend.

I sure hope that speculation doesn't need spoiler fonting. . . .?

letting Desmond hold him and assure him that it's OK to let it all out--THAT'S the moment I'M waiting for.Oh noo! I sense a "Jesmond" ship coming... :biggrin: ;)

Actually, it is the
DeJuSt Ship, Selene: Desmond/Jack/James, The Three Friendkeeteers! It's just that at the moment of the friendship's birth, Jack and Desmond will need to be alone. Jack ain't gonna break down like that in front of James--didn't you see how hard he struggled to keep it in during The Scene in "Exodus, Part I"?
Desmond interacting with ANY character makes the other character look better! Too bad he never got a scene with Ana Lucia. I might have even liked HER--for the duration of the scene, anyway! :D

So many anticipations... :eek2:

(And the waiting makes me :wacko: !!)

we won't be waiting too much longer, a week from tomorrow, Yea!!! though I doubt we'll be seeing Desmond the first week, I think they are gonna make us wait until the second week. I hope not, but I just have a feeling.

You may be right, but


it seems it really does worth the extra waiting :24:

Speaking of Desmond interacting with characters--remember, there IS a recrap eppy airing tomorrow night! Surely Desmond will make an appearance in it?

I gotta go with Locke. I like the whole idea of you saved my life now I'ma gunna save yours, brotha. Saying Jack just doesn't give Desmond enough credit for me...sure he made him cry, but everybody makes little Foxy cry. Plus outisde of Penny's dad, (and arguably Inman) Jack has been the meanest to Desmond out of everyone else, which is just wrong.

Of course, along the lines of a Sawyer Deliverance scene...a rehashed joke from Charlie would be nice, something like:

Dez: Do you know what one snowman said to the other?

Chuck: No, but if you hum a few bars I might be able to figure it out...

Especially since I think that was Dom's joke in the first place. (the snowman joke, not the hum a few bars joke)

Especially since I think that was Dom's joke in the first place. (the snowman joke, not the hum a few bars joke)I think it might happen eventually but for now I think it'll be Desmond and Locke who will further bond. Locke has been severly humbled and owes more than his life to Des ... he owes his new-found inner strength, which I think he'll have in S3. I also bet Des and Eko will become pals. That'll be cool!

As for the snowman joke ... no one had a snowman joke but Inman and Desmond. Michael had a snow joke but it was not the same one. I think it was a penguin. STH? Am I right?

Oh, I was referring to something in the behind the scenes stuff from s2 DVD in terms of the snowman joke. Is that something that has to be /spoilered?

Nope because it's out and for sale.

I didn't catch there. Where is it on the DVDs?

I know you're reading right now, so I'll try to be quick as I look it up again. Pretty sure I know where, but lemme just check. I'll edit here when I find it.

Okay, so go to phase 1, on the Fire+Water Anatomy of an Episode link....

You want to put the cursor DOT on the Anatomy line, not the Fire+Water line. I think it's like an easter egg or something. Anyway, you might have to go one line down and then hit left on your remote. On your computer you should be able to just get the pointer in that spot.

:drool:

Not sure if he's my favorite character, but I'm liking the scene with Daddy Widmore now just because Dez shows that rebellious side a bit, calling him a b______d and not taking his payoff money. The whole idea carries over to the Libby scene too, but just another lovleh insight into the personality.

I'd have loved the "interaction" between Des and Charles W. even MORE if Des had actually WON the race, and Charles had been forced to publicly present him with the winning trophy! :biggrin:

Hehe, don't count Dez out. Maybe there is some weird time warp stuff happening like folks have suggested, and he'll win it yet. However unlikely that may be, I think we will need to see Daddy eating some crow at some point as you suggest.

Daddy Widmore needs to eat crow and humble pie:pie:, needs to be given the raspberry :raspbry: by Des , Des needs to talk turkey :turkey: with Daddy Widmore, so the soup :soup: is on Widmore.

Jack- they have history. And Desmond made him laugh! In S2! In the finale! :biggrin:. ('Yeah we're still pushing it'). So you know thats gonna be a good friendship.

Locke- Although for one reason and one reason only- 'box-man'. BEST NICKNAME EVER!

I'm just glad that they've got a cool Scottish character!, England is represented by Charlie. Now they need a cool Irish or Welsh character. (Jack spoilt everything 'i'm not Irish') Why the hell not? :biggrin:

Locke- Although for one reason and one reason only- 'box-man'. BEST NICKNAME EVER!
OOOOO! Looks like James has competition in the great-nickname-giving contest! :24:
