Infogram: Catching up on ABC's Lost

Lost has been critically acclaimed as one of the most engaging shows on television. However, those trying to get into Lost this late in the game may find themselves overwhelmed by over 70 hour long episodes. I have taken the liberty of compiling necessary information on the characters of the show so that you may enjoy the new season without having to make the time commitment to catch up.

Jack

Jack possesses innate leadership abilities. The rest of the survivors look to him to solve their problems and he often feels obligated to please everyone. Jack’s high level of devotion to a cause and his ability to take charge comes from serving as the Grand Wizard as the KKK for six consecutive years.

Kate

Kate is the female lead and as such, is desperately in love with everything. During season 1, she was expected to find water but instead spent the day making out with a backpack. Her full name is Kate Austen, and although it has never been hinted at, there is a distinct possibility Kate is actually Jane Austen from the future disguised in a pretty lady suit. That notwithstanding, she's still a pretty big ho.

Hurley

Hurley is the fat one. That’s pretty much it. His fatness not only troubles him, but those around him. In season two, he takes his shirt off and everyone vomits uncontrollably. An unnamed survivor then dies from dehydration because she couldn’t stop puking.

Locke

Locke is a middle-aged man with the ability spontaneously generate oranges in his mouth. This ability would prove useful in ensuring everyone on the island has enough Vitamin C, but when a nasty case of scurvy afflicts the survivors he refuses to share any of his oranges because he’s a jaded prick.

Charlie

Charlie isn’t actually a person, but a bong that can play the guitar.

Claire

Claire started the season pretty fat. Not Hurley fat, but she was still pretty big. Then during on episode during season 3, she miraculously loses a ton of weight and finds a baby. Jack, inspired by the found infant, is led to believe there are babies living somewhere on the island and forms an expedition to find the baby colony.

Sawyer

Sawyer is a conman that has every intention of swindling everyone on the island out of their money. Unfortunately, he is not only a crappy conman but money has no value on the island. The other survivors usually humor him by purposely falling for his cons, after which he runs back to his hut giggling.
