Lost Character Nickname Stems From A Dark Place

While fans watching at home took to debating Richard’s eyeliner after each and every appearance, the series finally poked fun at what they knew was on everyone else’s minds at the end of Season 5. 

In the Lost episode “LaFleur” Richard confronts the Dharma associates living in a housing compound on the island after three of his people are found dead. Josh Holloway’s LeFleur, aka Sawyer, asks the Dharma lead to speak directly to Richard, referring to him as “your buddy out there with the eyeliner.”
