"Lost" is one of the few shows that has an extraordinarily diverse cast -- not to mention their characters are some of the most interesting we’ve ever met. We’re constantly learning new things through back stories and flashbacks. This type of character-build leaves us craving more and adds layers to the mysteries waiting to be solved.ABC/Mario Perez - Thursday, January, 31, 2008, 11:31 PM
