So last night while watching the LOST repeat from 2/11/09 I realized that the show has had some really memorable deaths. In the episode "This Place is Death" the trips through time finally catch up to Charlotte and we learn that she was not only born on the island but that Daniel was around during her youth and warned her to never come back for fear of death. Guess that came true huh? So without further ado here is my list for the Top 5 deaths on LOST. These all made some sort of impact on the story. Although when making the list I found that over 23 people had been killed in some sort of memorable fashion.
#5 Gary Troup aka "Guy sucked into the Engine" - Blink and you missed it. This poor guy who wrote the novel "Bad Twin" and was dating one of the flight attendents is sucked into the still running engine turbine on the first episode of LOST. It set the stage for an awesome show and really upped the ante on the danger factor.
#4 Seth Norris aka The Pilot - Poor Matt Grunberg. Guest stars as the pilot of the ill fated Oceanic Flight 815 that was supposed to be flown by Frank Lupidus. Seth is sucked out of the cockpit by the Island Black Fog Monster. Setting the stage for the islands security system and killing yet another one of the cast early on.
#3 Mr. Arzt - Poor poor school teacher Mr. Arzt. We barely knew you. But what a memorable impression you made. Mr. Arzt was the one who helped the Losties get dynamite off the Black Rock, the crashed pirate ship in the middle of the jungle. He explained many times just how volatile the dripping dynamite was, only to explode in a fiery death, proving just how dangerous that stuff was.
#2 Ana-Lucia and Libby - Oh! We get a two-fer. Ana-Lucia and Libby, survivors of the tail section. They survive being infiltrated and chased by the others only to be shot in cold blood by Michael. Michael takes his turn as a "heel" in his desperate attempt to find and save his son. He shoots Ana and Libby while they are guarding Ben Linus in the Hatch. It was one of those moments in the show that you just said "What the fuck?!"
#1 Charlie Pace - Sweet sweet Charlie Pace. You kicked your addiction to heroin, became someone that could be trusted and loved, and then died. As great shows do, LOST shows us that no one is safe and anyone one of our heros may die. Well Charlie goes out in style, saving Desmond, getting word out the Penny, and warning Desmond that the freighter is not Penny's boat. Which of course sets up that Kearny and his mercenaries in the next season as hired goons sent by Charles Widmore, but Charlie's drowning was a redeeming and touching scene that almost brings this viewer to tears every time I see it. One of the highlights of this amazing show.
