* AntiClimaxBoss: After being built up as some kind of omniscient, all powerful God who protects the island at all costs [[spoiler: all it takes to kill him is Ben stabbing him with a common-or-garden dagger and Flocke kicking him into a fire, where he burns as if he were a petrol soaked rag]].
* AntiHero: Jacob is a fundamentally decent and well-meaning person, but he's also manipulative and can be quite callous. He brings many people to the Island for essentially good reasons, but he does little to prevent their deaths,

* FatalFlaw: Isolation and secrecy; Jacob means well, but he takes the notion of separating oneself from those they lead (embodied in other characters like Jack and Dogen) to an extreme, remaining in the shadows while Richard passes along any instructions he may have for his people. His hands-off approach to proving his point about human beings being fundamentally good and capable of change is likewise well-intentioned, but his refusal to simply walk up and ''tell'' people things has decidedly mixed results and makes several people easy prey for the Man in Black's machinations; Jacob's own death is arguably a result of not simply telling Ben that "Locke" was not who he appeared to be. On a similar note, Jacob's secretive nature (to the point that his very ''existence'' is questionable for much of the series) has significant drawbacks; a number of characters don't trust Jacob or his designs simply because they don't fully understand what Jacob wants. Once he actually sits down with and ''talks'' to the remaining Candidates, Jacob manages to recruit a replacement fairly quickly.

** Of course, Ben isn't necessarily UGLY, he's just a bit [[CreepyBlueEyes strange]] [[HollywoodHomely looking]], especially compared with some of the more [[BeautyEqualsGoodness conventionally attractive]] male leads. It helps that in LOST he's frequently beaten to a bloody pulp or his clothes are ripped, whereas in real life [[Creator/MichaelEmerson Michael Emerson]] is generally very classy-looking.

* IrrationalHatred: Pickett's vendetta against Sawyer makes little sense. Sure, they're not friends, but Pickett seems to blame Sawyer for Colleen's death and focuses his hatred on him instead of Kate. He essentially uses Sawyer as a HateSink.

to:

* InsaneTrollLogic: He blames Sawyer for Colleen's death when she was actually shot by Sun and Sawyer was imprisoned at the time, meaning he couldn't possibly have had anything to do with it.

Added DiffLines:

* UnknownRival: Pickett immediately takes a [[IrrationalHatred dislike]] to Sawyer when he's assigned to guard him and Kate while the two are prisoners of the Others and forced to work on their runway, which only grows when he blames Sawyer for his wife Colleen's death at the hands of Sun, [[InsaneTrollLogic even though Sawyer was still imprisoned at the time and had nothing to do with it]]. For his part, Sawyer doesn't think of Pickett as anything more than a {{Mook}} for the Others and is baffled as to why the man hates him so much.

* KnightOfCerebus: Ethan's exposure as a mole is the first major indication that the survivors of Flight 815 have more serious problems facing them than mere survival or a then-unseen Monster.



* MultipleGunshotDeath: Downplayed; Charlie fires six rounds into Ethan's chest to kill him.
* MysteriousPast: It's never stated how or why the son of one of the DHARMA Initiative's leaders fell in with the "Hostiles", nor is it made clear why Ethan would take be an accessory to the murder of his own parents.



* TeensAreMonsters: At no older than 12, Ethan was already associated with the Others, helping Ben kidnap Alex, and he took part in the Purge when he would have been around 14.
