Description
Previous: [link]The Lostie-a-Day-a-Thon : [link]
Ethan Rom, Bonnie, Beatrice Klugh and Tom "Mr. Friendly."
The hostiles. The Island natives. Them. The Others.
The whispers in the wind, making you think that the insanity is finally setting in. The masters of trickery, of ruse and deception, of motives and origins most unclear.
The bad guys? The good guys? The kidnappers of children, or saviors? Vicious, mysterious, and 'different.'
The wearers of art-kid clothing and comfy shoes and eaters of ham and participants of book clubs. The smiling faces of suburbia and the chilling, cold blooded killers in the dark.
An ancient line, peppered by new recruits, the faithful, the supernatural, the scientific, the mundane.
My favorite 'mystery' of the Island has always been the Others. Oh, the elaborate ruses (Tom wearing a beard, the shanty town, the list to get Jack... can't these people just ask nicely?) They can look downright normal and cheerful, but there's always something different about them.
The reveal of new Otherton in the season 3 premier was one of my favorite Lost moments. It was just a whole new can of WTF. The scraggly, vicious, whispering baby-napping Others suddenly took on a new light. What, exactly, is their story?
We know they have a vaguely hermit crab-esque mentality; they moved into Dharmaville and began having book clubs. We know they are prone to drastic mood swings; sweetly smiling Ethan greeting Juliet versus the badass, CREEPY mofo from season 1 (not to be excessively violent, but I wanted them to cut of his head or burn him or something after he was killed. Total vampire man.)
They have different purposes and missions, different faces, and sometimes different pasts. Their mythology is deep, mysterious and painfully complex.
In conclusion: WHO THE BLOODY HELL ARE THE OTHERS??
*ahem*
Any definite answers? Theories? Hopes and dreams for season 6? Well, (and let's all say it together, kids!)
"Hopefully, season 6 will bring us some answers!"

I love how you did Bonnie. She and Tom are my favorite in this picture. Love Mr. Friendly's expression. The dude always creeped me out but for some reason I still wish he was alive... Awesome!

This is too great; you are so awesomely good at stylizing people yet making them totally recognizable. Tom's Colgate smile is hilarious, and Ethan looks so... Ethan-ish.

Second: Tom's face is too funny AhAh!!

I love Mr. Friendly smile. I love how you can tell who the character is even with you abstract and unique style.

Oh, wow. Mr. Friendly definitely has the best expression there. I would have loved to live in OthersVille. It had plentiful ham and everyone gets to learn Latin, I can't think of anything more awesome.

Awesome sauce job!
Oh those creepers that are the Others. I love Mr. Friendly but when I learned his name it was like nails on a chalk bored, not that I dislike the name Tom or anything itβs just too many people on that show have that name.

I LOVE Tom! Hes so amazing. I was sad when he got shot, he may have been a kidnapper, but he was a funny one.

XDDD
Lol Mr. Friendly. Whenever I think of Mr. Friendly, I think of that Lost recap that ABC did when the 4th season ended.... and that woman says, in a completely monotone voice... "Mr. Friendly throws like a girl".

Gyah! A bunch of interesting characters, even if they didn't get a lot of airtime I still remember them all well.
Ethan is such a creeper.... even when he's acting normal he give me the heebie-jeebies. >< I mean he's like some sort of death-bot (hell, he even has a computerish last name... ROM). And I can't believe Horace could have fathered something like that. O.o
Bonnie was awesome, I really wish she could have had more airtime... though her scenes with Charlie were awesome. The same goes for Bea, but Mikhail just had to shoot her. ;___;
And Mr. Friendly!!! Being smily as ever, I see.

Hrrrm...One day left...Kind of on pins & needles as to who it'll be. Jin? Mr. Eko? Penny? Vincent? o_O

I don't remember Bonnie somehow.
I could never figure out the others. How long has their kind been on the island? What's their purpose? What are they up to?

I am just hoping the story with the kids will be explained! I really, really want Walt to come back into the show, his just total lack of story has been so annoying, also felt there was no closure with his father!
