Lost Video Island

[SawyerLittleton]

Hey guys

I'm working on my own version of a Lost Opening and i really don't know in which way i should name the cast.

If i go alphabetically it looks like this(Im not going to list the actors names here=:
Sayid
Richard
Desmond
Claire
Ben
Lapidus
Jack
Hurley
Sawyer
Jin
Sun
Miles
Kate
(F)Locke
Ilana

But imo this somewhat isn't satisfying. :/ Should i name Jack and Kate first? Or let it stay alphabetically? And what about Ilana at the end? :/ Seems weird to me. You guys help me.


..I actually feel bad right now because i posted the same thing like this over at spoilerTV and just copy&pasted it here. You guys deserve better. Anyways, help?

Maybe do it in order of their centric episodes in s6? and the ones that don't have them can go at the bottom

This order looks balanced to me:

Jack
Kate
Locke
Sun
Jin
Sawyer
Sayid
Claire
Hurley
Ben
Desmond
Miles
Richard
Ilana
Lapidus

It's the order of central episodes in S1 (counting Jack as the central figure in Pilot pt 1, and with Sun and Jin together since otherwise it'd seem weird) and then to characters who had a flashback in later episodes, in order. Richard-Ilana-Lapidus was thus because Richard's been popping up since S2; Ilana seems more centric than Lapidus--plus, from a purely euphonic standpoint, Lapidus sounds like a better ending-point than Ilana.)

Random observation: Wow, the cast is really slanted heavily towards the first half of the alphabet, isn't it?

Some other advice: Don't put Ilana too close to the top of the random list (within a name or two of Claire), otherwise you'll run out of women towards the bottom, which'll make it look unbalanced, too.
