Dark & Light

6) Mark Benford, FlashForward

Mark Benford is an alcoholic. And that’s the best thing about him. A poor man’s Jack from Lost that talks like Christian Bale’s Batman and Steven Seagal, Benford is so one-dimensional that he disappears when he turns sideways. And he’s supposed to be our hero? Never before in the history of television have we had to rely on such an incompetent FBI agent. Not only do we not trust him to figure out what happened in the event of a worldwide blackout, we wouldn’t even trust him to find out what happened in the event of a freshman coed’s blackout at a frat party. And for God’s sake, unfurrow your brow.

(#6 on TV.com’s most annoying characters. Poor Shakespeare. I plot ways in which he can be killed or hurt during every single episode. AND THE MAN IS FIIINE. What a waste. *sigh*)
