Entertainment Weekly's take on heroes and villians in pop culture

Although not exclusively about Lost, Entertainment Weekly's current issue explores the ideas of heroes and villians, good and bad.

It covers TV, movies, comic books, books to explore how our ideas of heroes and villians have changed over the years.

Lost is mentioned as a show where the heroes don't always do the right thing and the villians can sometimes do something that's not quite bad.

We desperately want good to triumph over evil, but we can't staunch our doubts that good is up to the task. "We want heroes to know the difference between good and bad, and we want them to be strong," says Lost exec producer Damon Lindelof. "However, it's hard for such a person to be accessible unless they're also extremely effed up.because only a seriously disturbed individual would want to be a hero."

Of course, it's written by Doc Jensen, who writes about Lost for the magazine.

In the print version of the article, there are photos of both Ben and Kate.
