But John Locke isn't even John Locke anymore, so he sort of doesn't count.

Are you asking who is the saddest sad sack on a show that was considered quality TV?

I'm goin with Sipowicz...I never watched an episode of NYPD Blue, and I know that dude had it rough.

I think if any character on LOST is a tragic hero it's Sayid.

SPOILER










Come on now, John went from being the friendly old guy that hunted boars to a giant evil smoke monster.

Yeah, but the issue is that John put his own desires above everyone else on the island. "Friendly old guy" did some pretty sadistic shite because of his delusions. A tragic hero still has intentions for good. John's only intention is to prove that he's special.
