We are unpacking the pros and cons of Sawyer, one of LOST's most popular characters who -- believe it or not -- started out as one of its most hated. From his unlikeable beginnings as the troublemaking redneck to his transformation into a full-blown romantic lead, Josh Holloway's Southern fried charm offensive brings humanity to a role that could have been played as pure villainy. We will explore the nature of confidence scams on the show, from the small-time schemes of bad boy Sawyer to the existential con being run by The Man in Black throughout the series; plus further discussion about The Island's selective healing abilities; the show's interest in redeeming its villains; how the infamous love triangle got off to a solid, sexy start; and how the Star Wars character of Han Solo influenced the way in which Sawyer was written and developed.
