You know, you could spin off a show just for Sawyer
Sawyer's back story cons are so interesting and he's such an interesting character, they could almost spin off a show based solely on him. But then, I guess there'd be no Sawyer story left for Lost.
Re: You know, you could spin off a show just for Sawyer
Sawyer's Cons would make an interesting show, but they would have to make Sawyer more likable. We'd need to believe Sawyer has a good reason for stealing money and hearts. Like a kid brother who needs a heart transplant or something. Or everyone he cons is bad .
Re: You know, you could spin off a show just for Sawyer
Well the cons he used to do could be his flashbacks...to show his intelligence and provide history. But for some reason he's reformed and he's now conning people for a righteous purpose.
Re: You know, you could spin off a show just for Sawyer
My natural inclination is to say that this is a really bad idea, but if there was ANY story that could be a good Lost Spin-Off it would be Sawyer reliving different parts of the 1990s. but they'd have to have someone play the "Young Sawyer" of 1992 when his grunge band failed. I think the concept of him doing cons and reacting to historical scenes could be interesting. Anyone remember how Clinton won and slowly lost the hearts of Southern male voters? Talk about drama.
Re: You know, you could spin off a show just for Sawyer
Personally, I think Sawyer is plenty likable already. The fact that he hates himself for turning into the man who ruined his life is heartbreaking. Having Sawyer only con "bad" people would only simplify his character and destroy his depth. And I'm sure that Sawyer could easily get good ratings with a spin off. His character is excellent. But then again, so is Kate's character, Locke's character etc. etc. That's what makes lost so great. Each character has enough depth to run their own show.. by combining all of them together you get an incredible collaboration of stories.. Lost
Re: You know, you could spin off a show just for Sawyer
I love Sawyer, and he is without a doubt my favourite character, but I wouldn't want him to get his own spin off (or any other character for that matter). For me, what makes lost is the relationships between all these characters who've been thrown together, and all the weird connections in their past. that would be totally lost in a spin off.
Re: You know, you could spin off a show just for Sawyer
This should be moved to the Lost Talk forum, mostly so it doesn't get buried and forgotten in here.
You could do spinoff shows for a lot of the characters. I'd watch the "Funtime with Hurley Show" hehe.
This got me to thinking about how Boone said to Locke in season one that he should have one of those shows where he fixes up people's houses.
