Start thinking

Both Jack and Boone had TERRIBLE flashback wigs! As a hairstylist, this was absolutely horrifying.

Wow lots of great options. I better stop procrastinating and start thinking!!

Will the chosen character names in Lost (John Locke, Hume, CS Lewis, Ford, Jeremy Bentham etc) play a greater part in the plot, or were they chosen to subtly reference the characters traits and motivations?

Boone had the very worst flashback wig

I thought Ben's plugs to fill out his hairline in "The Man Behind the Curtain" were pretty bad, too.

Ok since the challenging is going a bit slow, I'll propose a challenge.

1) Best episode in lost (Excluding eason finales) - I would go with Walkabout

2) Best season in lost - I would go with season 1

3) Best Flashback story (All of their centric episodes) - I would go with Lockes

wow, HSM, I hope that your debate topic number 3 is chosen as that would be interesting. Though Hope would have to tell you her character's choice so that you argue why your character's choice is better than Hope's choice!

But it would be a good read!

Stitch

I like the sound of that too!

Thanks Stitch and SuunyP! I think I would argue no1 the best but I liked the idea of no3 the most.

Ok, I pick a topic on Monday. I am far too busy right now. So be prepared!!

Goodie! Cant wait.

THS, I like your third option too. Locke has had an amazing journey before coming to the island. I would think the only characters that even come close to his journey would be Jack, Kate, or Sawyer. But, I will leave that up to Hope if this is the topic she picks.

I hate to throw the polar bear wrench into this but those topics won't really work very well in a debate format.

I love the idea of discussion/voting on which is the best flashback or season or episode but keep in mind: it has the word BEST in it.
This is opinion, not fact.

How do you debate an opinion or feeling?
I already know my favorite episode, character etc. and no amount of argument is going to sway that opinion

for example:
Let's say that TheHolyStickMan's favorite color is red. Hope debates that it is blue and I debate that it is red.
How would Hope have any chance to convince THSM that his favorite color is blue? She couldn't because he already has a favorite color and you can't argue someone into changing a personal preferrence.

If you could, my screen name would be MyStarbuckLovesLost

Debates have to deal with tangible facts and observations (even if they are lighthearted subjects) or else they are not debates, they are opinion polls.

MSHL, as I said in my the last debate you should vote for the person who argued their case the best. Walkabout might be your favourite episode but my argument for it may be terrible. And Hope may argue whatever episode very well. So then your fav episode would still be Walkabout but you vote for Hope.

Also why I liked the third one was that not many people think about the flashbacks as much as their fav episodes or seasons. So some people might not have made their minds up about it yet.

Somebody stop me I'm debating already!

Gosh guys, right now my computer is on the fritz big time. So if you guys don't want to wait for me I understand. This isn't my computer that I am on right now but a friends. So if SunnyP wants to pick a topic to debate I understand. I feel bad is all and since she was my last challenger I will let her pick a topic to debate. I am totally sorry guys!! I should be another week if you want to wait though!!

Hope, It would be completely unfair to do a debate without the reigning champ in it. Its not like were rushing them. Im sure everyone can wait at least a week for you. We have to space them out anyway its not like lost is on anytime soon!
