of all lost characters penny might be the one I'm most willing to lie to myself about. sometimes I'll see posts talking about how her writing is very flat/she's just not interesting and I experience about 4 seconds of blind rage before I remember that the writers themselves simply were not interested in her as her own character beyond Love Interest and it actually is not invalid to find her a very flat/one-note character. but I will continue to make shit up about her anyways
Desmond and Penny could have and probably would have been the best couple on the show if the writers had bothered to give Penny a personality, a backstory, and a life besides her love interest.
finally finished lost and all i can say is that i think desmond and penny should've asked sayid to be their third
