I LOVE Keamy! I hate what he did to Alex though. The show never had such a badass like this.

I love how much I hate him. What I loved was that Ben actually got to him, he didn't expect Ben to know everything about him. And is the Captain(who I'm sorry to see go), right and does Keamy have the sickness? A guy that could shoot a bound sixteen year old girl can't be too mentally stable to begin with. And does anybody have any clue as to what that thing on Keamy's arm? The only thing I can come up with is a bomb, but that's to simple.

An excruciatingly, painful death. While Alex's ghost watches and does the Happy Dance. With Carl. And Danielle can be shooting ghostly bullets at Keamy.

Wow...really...

Most excellently acted. Remember when Michael asked him what they were doing, and he said "What does it look like we're doing...we're shooting things"....lol. ;)

Hope he dies a painful death. Make that an excruciating death.
I may be the only LOST fan hoping that he lives on. We do need the drama and terror
that he brings.

Keamy's a dick. WHEN he does meet his demise, I hope it's Ben that finishes him and I hope he takes his sweet time so Keamy will understand why you don't change the rules. ;)

I did not know of him...

His strained, controlled voice is too eerily skeery. Way skeery.

It is somewhat frightening that he plays that role so well...hopefully it is just an act. ;)

If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right..

Most excellently acted. He rocks the character, and I'm not just saying that because he's so hot. Anyone who's not seen him in other roles can't imagine how good an actor he is. They just see him as bad bad Keamy and think maybe it's type-casting.
If I were an actor, I'm not sure I'd want to be in a scene with Michael Emerson or Kevin Durand because they steal every scene they're in. Seriously, it's not about looks -

I may be the only LOST fan hoping that he lives on. . You're not.

TabbyRasa
05-09-2008, 01:26 AM
Thank God you are on this planet, lostmio. :)

Do you remember that little lip twitch he did...was it last week...

He's so dang scary...nice arms, too.

solarman
05-09-2008, 01:27 AM
I remember the actor (Kevin Durand) from dark angel. He was also in that 3:10 to Yuma remake. I think the reason people want him to die is he is so polar in his evil. He is a mercenary to the core. I think Ben is just as evil, just more subtle, more devious and he does everything in name of saving the island. They are both evil, Keamy is just more overtly evil.

TabbyRasa
05-09-2008, 01:30 AM
Well said, solarman.

Keamy is entirely evil, but in a good way...if that makes any sense. I may have found my next fave character.

And people...remember....this is just a TV show...these are fictional characters...

Evenstar_lostie
05-09-2008, 01:33 AM
Hmmm to me Keamy is just scary, soul-less evil. So, so creepy! :eek:

:drool: ok, it is about the looks...
It's worse...he was standing in the front of the line when they handed out bodies and talent.

Yeah he's a hunk...but he defines mercenary. He's brutal. If only Ana-Lucia were still alive...now there is a match. ;)

lostmio
05-09-2008, 01:46 AM

It can't be a coincidence that my fave characters are Ana-Lucia, Eko, Smokey, and (now) Keamy. ;) Oh, and Vincent, of course. I forgot to mention Danielle.

I wanted to like him when he was first introduced on the show... but he just gets badder and badder! He is a great actor though. I hope I get to see him as a good guy someday.

I need my blankie after watching him.

I'm not going to comment on Keamy, but I know I will LOVE the scene where Benjamin meets him to resolve his daughter's death.

TheSwanComputer
05-09-2008, 02:43 AM
I like the character for it's intended purpose. But I hate him as a "person". I don't think he's a badass. I just think he's a ruthless soldier who will stop at nothing to fulfill his obligation. He does his job well. I think Sawyer, Ben and even Eko are more badasses then Keamy.

That being said. I'm torn on wether I want him to live or die. Part of me wants him to die a horrible death because of his actions and the other part wants him to be the only member of the freighter army left alive and taken prisoner. Though I think he will meet his death either next week or in the two hour finale.

The whole Dr. Ray thing was just uncalled for.

I love to hate Ben, and Mikhail, and a few more along those lines. But Keamy...I just hate him outright. And I think it's more about his attitude than his actions, because Mikhail was just as much of a killer and I loved him as a baddy. Something about him just rubs me the wrong way.

I hope he gets killed before TPTB get ideas to give him his own freakin' episode.

I don't think with the limited number of episodes we have left that this will happen. I do not think he will be come as important to the show as other freight members Faraday, Charlotte, Frank, and Miles.

I just can't decide which character I hope kills him. It would be cool if it was Taller Ghost Walt. j/k.

Keamy?

hate him. Absolutely. Mostly because he's an evil sociopathic SOB. And he killed Alex (I'm still living in hope that the captain's only badly hurt, rather than dead. I don't think he shot him in anywhere immediately fatal).

A Keamy ep might not be so bad... as long as it was an episode consisting entirely of his long, painful, excruciating death. I'm thinking we round up the remaining polar bears, let them at him for a while. Then we let Smokey have a turn. Then we feed what's left to the Dharma Shark.

05-09-2008, 04:29 AM
I think the actor plays him extremely well, and I can appreciate the character on a level where we are supposed to be shown how he's much worse than the Others ever were, but that put behind me - I want him to die an extremely gory, overwhelmingly painful and brutal death :D

I like straight-forward and evil, like Keamy, better than deceitful and evil, like Ben. Besides, in Keamy's case, it seems like it might be more insane than evil. Y'know, cabin fever and all. I like how he's so darn intimidating... to everyone except Sayid of course.

Speaking of Ben, I love how he's now reduced to such pettiness as staring at Hurley's candy bar, hoping he picks up on the hint.

Technically I think he'd be classed as a sociopath rather than a psychopath.

Still... he's evil. He must die. I don't think it gets much clearer than that.

He's a big turd. He needs to go down. Considering he killed Alex, I hope his death is spectacular and not just like he gets shot.
First thing I ever saw the actor in was "Dead Like Me," and he was a turd in that too. Not the actor, the character he played.

I'll give him this much though: he single-handedly fulfills MC Gainey's prediction that the people on the freighter would make the Others look like a bunch of boy scouts (or something to that effect).


I forgot about that!

And it is so true...........

I read somewhere someone call Keamy a "supersoldier"

....that just makes him hotter to me

i don't like him at all.
Maybe if he has a flashback and if i can understand how i became such a stupid guy i could change my mind but i'm not sure...i can apreciate bad guys like Hannibal lecter lol but Keamy seems stupid...i don't see his complexity so i'm not attracted to the character.

littlecub237
05-09-2008, 09:01 AM
Keamy is fine for now but if he shoots Desmond, it's on! I only say that because he chose to stay on the freighter...

You guys are right about his large teeth/small mouth. Reminds me of John Elway.

Keamy is made out of awesome. Kevin Durand does a fantastic job at playing the cold, ruthless, capable killing machine. He is definitely the most badass character this show has seen! I hope he stick around for a while. Maybe make him a regular in Season Five and kill him off in the S5 finale or something? That'd be awesome! They wouldn't have to redeem him or anything, but give us a few moments where he shows some good emotions, yet still keep him evil till he dies.

How did I know you'd love this guy, Remus!?!

He is compellingly evil, I think so I enjoy him. Plus the actor is Canadian, eh! The first thing I remember him from is "Mystery, Alaska". He played the huge French-Canadian hockey player, Tree.

desmondslosthairstraighteners
05-09-2008, 11:11 AM
I think he's an amazing bad guy, and that's because he's so ruthless. He scares the hell out of me with how ruthless he is, i mean he could just shoot any of the main characters in the head just like he did with alex. I guess i'm just scared that he'll be used to kill off some of my favourite characters.

Still unfortunately, straight up evil b*stards like him don't stay around for long, and Ben will get revenge. He'll die almost certainly in the 2nd part of the finale. Probably by the smoke monster.

05-09-2008, 11:21 AM
Hate for sure. I hate the smugness and cockiness of the character. The "hotness" is lost on me too. Something about tiny lips and huge teeth just doesn't work for me.

Like Ben (used to be?), Keamy is a good bad-guy.

His defining of his character reminds me of when Eko first appeared. Eko was not evil, but you knew his intentions.

It's kind of refreshing to meet an uncomplicated bad guy on LOST. I doubt that there's anything subtle, intellectual or morally gray about Keamy--or at least I doubt that any of that would ever be explored (at the rate they're dispensing with characters who have been built up over years and years). It'll be fun to cheer when he finally meets his well-deserved end.

I didn't realize before last night that he was so tall (or at least was photographed to be tall). Makes him even more threatening.

It is a great juxtaposition between Keamy and Ben. Keamy seeks to control by sheer force, Ben by subtle manipulation. People may resnt being forced to do something but what they really resent is being tricked into it. With Bullies you know they will always get theirs in the end -- live by the sword die by the sword. Tricksters seem to have a whole 'nother arc.

I agree. He seems to be all bad and without any explanation for it.

He’s playing an awfully big role for a character we know nothing about. This is Lost – we’re used to looking behind the characters to see what makes them tick, like they did in Confirmed Dead with the first four Freighties. More importantly, we’re used to complex characters, and Keamy seems to be all baddie with no redeeming qualities. This is not enough for him to be the instrument of island destruction. Stop him before he kills more of my favorite supporting characters!

Brian825
05-09-2008, 04:59 PM
I'm not going to comment on Keamy, but I know I will LOVE the scene where Benjamin meets him to resolve his daughter's death.

I couldn't agree more. :)

Although I will comment on Keamy again: he's a dick, PERIOD. After murdering Alex; so coldblooded and with absolutely no remorse, the moment when Benjamin Linus exacts his revenge cannot get here fast enough. Many villains in movies and tv are very entertaining(Ben being the best example here), but there's no redeeming quality to Keamy at all. He does have one purpose though: to meet a slow, violent end.
100%
Martin Keamy is lost's greatest villain. Love how he has an evil Blackwater tattoo, all the better, I look forward to his end.

I definitely disagree about Keamy being Lost's best villain. In the long run, I think the best villain will be the man Keamy works for, Charles Widmore.

rove3
05-09-2008, 05:14 PM
Eh, he's a (seemingly) one-dimensionsal character whose only purpose so far is to kill, w/o remorse. That makes him a not very interesting or compelling character in my book. He is basically just a plot device at this point: to amp up the danger level on the island. Well, except to any of the O6 so he loses some effectiveness there.

AC122
05-09-2008, 05:23 PM
Hummina Hummina Keamy's body...

All drooling aside, he is among the most ruthless S.O.B.'s we have seen on the show. The guy drops about 2-3 people on average per episode lately!

I have to admit, even though I love to hate the character, I was pissed when he offed the hot captain last night. He had such little screen time.

Can someone please post screen caps of Keamy getting that thing strapped to his arm - I would be eternally grateful. ;)

05-09-2008, 05:23 PM
Speaking of Ben, I love how he's now reduced to such pettiness as staring at Hurley's candy bar, hoping he picks up on the hint.

I loved his longing stare, although I would disagree that it was petty. Maybe a little bit shameless. Ben is smart enough to make it known when he has needs. I was reminded of his line, "I'm thirsty!", from earlier in the season.

He is basically just a plot device at this point: to amp up the danger level on the island. Well, except to any of the O6 so he loses some effectiveness there.
pfft, that seems an unfair critique to me. Sometimes for a role so minor you don't need such an in-depth character study.. He's simply henchman of Widmore. You wouldn't bother giving every faceless goon in a Schwarzenegger flick redeeming features. The way he is written makes me hate him and I'm perfectly aware of his motivations, so what's the problem?

dude is SO crazy, the actor is wonderful. what is his accent? i love this crazy character even though he's doing so much damage. what a nutter, i'm sure i'll hate him if he hurts someone i really care about, but until then bring it onnnnnnn. and then get torn to shreds by smokey.

ben is a diabolical genius, his character is much richer

Imposing at 6ft 6inches... Great stare and great acting. This guy can act, no remorse in his eyes as he carries out his role. I sure hope casting is looking for bad guys for other movies he fills the bill perfectly.

Keamy is made out of awesome. Kevin Durand does a fantastic job at playing the cold, ruthless, capable killing machine. He is definitely the most badass character this show has seen! I hope he stick around for a while. Maybe make him a regular in Season Five and kill him off in the S5 finale or something? That'd be awesome! They wouldn't have to redeem him or anything, but give us a few moments where he shows some good emotions, yet still keep him evil till he dies.

I like what you wrote, Remus. Kevin Durand plays this character so well, so perfectly. There is something about Durand's screen presence that is very appealing. As for "Keamy" -- we've learned that on Lost, no one is purely evil or purely good. But so far the writers have written a character that is one-for-one an equal to Smokey.

Great stare and great acting. This guy can act, no remorse in his eyes as he carries out his role. I think Smokie made it personal for Keamy.
Initially he was a dedicated military/merc type, 100% loyal to the mission and money, no emotions at all.
But Smokie injured his team and hurt his pride. Now he's mad and that makes him even badder.

Also -- and is this irony or what? -- he won an award in Canada for being a comedian! WTF? Keamy and comedy?! Whoa.
That does not surprise me in the least...he's made of talent (Durand, that is).

And his VOICE! He has one of those voices that can sound very nice and friendly if he wants, but then it can dive into the lower registers, absolutely DRIPPING venom, and give you chills! I think Durand will definitely get his choice of movie roles coming up - due to those eyes, that body, that voice, and his incredible acting. :cool:

As for "Keamy" -- we've learned that on Lost, no one is purely evil or purely good. But so far the writers have written a character that is one-for-one an equal to Smokey.

It's a little odd that he is written so one-dimensionally. As we all know, it's a favorite hobby of TPTB to get the viewers thinking they know a character inside and out and then totally flip the script and show a completely different side to them.

However, Keamy has been portrayed as all evil with no redeeming qualities. Do you think TPTB are trying to get away from their one-trick-pony antics or will we see another side to Keamy soon???

I think he's a great character and I'll be even more impressed if TPTB are able to show a sympathetic side to him at some future point. :)

I do not think that they plan to show a sympathetic side to Keamy.

And that's OK. ;)

But you're right about his voice...it gives me the shivers. Remember when he said "I'm listening" when Ben said "I have a proposal"? Keamy is our worst nightmare (so far).

His voice stands out to me too. I can't really articulate what it is, but something about it gives me chills. It has a kind of soft quality to it, and the accent is weird, I can't place it. Where's he supposed to be from? Las Vegas?

Anyway, I'm with those who love to hate him. The actor's doing a fantastic job. I really underestimated this character at first. He came off like a meathead pit bull to me, all brawn and very little brains. Now I see there's more to him than that. How much more remains to be seen.

Keamy absolutely ROCKS! First of all, he is so hot.
Secondly, Kevin Durand really pulls off the character.
I find that amusing because he was nominated as "Canada's
funniest comedian" way back in '94 or so. Not so funny now!
I saw his name listed in the credits at least through the next 3 episodes.
But, I fear he will probably be killed by the season finale. Too bad - he is
so fun!
100%
If it's wrong, I don't wanna be right..

He rocks the character, and I'm not just saying that because he's so hot. Anyone who's not seen him in other roles can't imagine how good an actor he is. They just see him as bad bad Keamy and think maybe it's type-casting.
If I were an actor, I'm not sure I'd want to be in a scene with Michael Emerson or Kevin Durand because they steal every scene they're in. Seriously, it's not about looks -

You're not.

I'll second THAT emotion. Can't help it, he's just too good
at being bad. And he used to be a standup comedian, from what
little I can find on him. Sigh...the whole package, including a lovely
bod! Almost burned my TV out putting that one scene on pause - where
Omar is strapping some device to his arm. giggity giggity!!!!

OMG...you had to mention "that" scene! Has anyone ever seen a finer specimen
of a male body? (rhetorical question) I wonder what his legs look like? <ahem!>

The first moment that I realized that he is perfection is in the freighter deck scene, where Michael approaches the guys and asks "what are you doing?" and Keamy barely takes 5 seconds to look away from his gun to answer "what does it look like? we're shooting things". What a line...but check out his right arm holding the gun.

OK, I am done (for now). ;)

So... Keamy has nice arms. Yes, that is my deep contribution to this thread.

Fav characters before Durand joined the cast (excluding the dead); 3 - Locke, 2 - Hurley, 1 - Ben/Sawyer.

New favourite characters (excluding dead); 3 - Locke, 2 - Hurley 1 - Ben/Sawyer/Keamy

I think he is a great character. I though they couldnt have made him the slightest bit more evil than Ben, but they sure as hell did.

EDIT: also, Durand was apparently the 'black knight ghost' in scooby doo 2: monsters unleashed! lol

Personally, I find Ben more attractive than Keamy! Even Bernard would give me a greater thrill. But then I once dated a guy who triggered olfactory memories of my childhood dentist. So it would seem that I have some unique issues to sort out.

I won't commit to hating Keamy, as he's just doing his zealot mercenary thing. He does do it with some flair. I won't miss him if he's gone soon.

I despise Keamy. I don't find him attractive in the least, and he's done nothing but piss me off since he first appeared. The only good thing I can say about him is that it's nice to have a true villain on the show again (I haven't considered Ben to be evil since...well, ever, really). I'm fervently hoping that Keamy will soon be the recipient of a bullet to the head, courtesy of Benjamin Linus.

Keamy is vile. Whoever plays him is a fantastic actor because I cannot stand Keamy. Plus, he's the only person to ever make Ben look 100% the good guy (even the INNOCENT one!) in any situation. Usually it's give or take as to whether Ben is being good or bad, but when he's up against Keamy...it's a different story.

I don't know if I'd consider Keamy the most hated character. He's certainly up there in toe top five, though.

I think Ana Lucia was worse because she was slimy, and pretending to be a friend. At least Keamy was "in your face" and you knew where he was coming from. No drama ...no hiding behind another persona ....he was "I'll kill you unless you kill me first". Which Ben did ;)

Ethan was the worst at one point, but Charlie remedied that.

Michael was pretty bad shooting Libby, but I understand the insanity he was experiencing at the time, having two sons of my own. Who's to say I wouldn't snap too?

Anthony Cooper was also slimy, but not quite as hostile as Keamy. Maybe that's worse ....
