LOST's geophysicist/thug, Zoe. ABC
The following was crafted by Jason Henninger and celebrates the many and varied deaths (so far) during LOST's six seasons.
Like Henninger, I am not a Zoe fan. From a writer's standpoint, though -- and, admittedly, a humorous one -- the letters "N" and "Q" of his creation are my personal favorites. (And as an aside, let's hope Darlton sends Zoe out in a Nikki-&-Paulo-style suitable to her level of popularity.)
Of course, this poem is best enjoyed via the original posting as Henninger is kind enough to include snapshots that accompany each letter. Enjoy!
