I think it’s fair to say that Lost creators are pretty cavalier with their fans. I have accepted that no matter what the ‘answers’ are (Is there some sort of alternative reality/universe going on? Are they in purgatory? Are they in a shared dream/hallucination?) I’m pretty much going to feel gyped. Since I have come to terms with that, it actually makes it easier to enjoy the show.
Although, I can’t understand why some of them want to leave so badly.
-
Kate is going straight to jail. Just because you were on a plane that crashed and you were stranded for 3 months doesn’t absolve you of murder.
-
Sawyer has killed the man who did his momma wrong (which seemed to be the only thing he was living for).
-
Rose would return to Cancertown.
-
Locke would return to Paralysisistan.
-
Hurley doesn’t want to be a lottery winner anymore.
-
Jack has no one left. No dad, No wife.
-
Claire was carrying Satan’s baby, if she gets off the island he’s headed straight back to his pre-ordained demon-child status.
-
Ben wouldn’t be King of the Brainwashed anymore.
Who does that leave? Sayid (lost his lady love), Juliet, Desmond and the Kims?
Which camp would you have joined? Jack or Locke’s?
Locke has already proven time and time again that he doesn’t want to get off the island. He’ll out and out destroy anyone’s options for getting off the island in favor of his own need to stay. I don’t know much about game theory but if you want to get off the island. He’s probably not the one to follow. He also has told you that he’s not a man of science or logic. I would like to be aligned with someone who likes to apply a bit of rationale to his decision making skill set.
Jack’s going straight out to find the NewOthers (or FreighterOthers or OtherOthers) even though he’s been warned they may not be who they claim. How come there isn’t a third group of cautiously hesitant people who might just want to hang back and see what these new people do when they land? I wanna be in that group. Follow Locke back to the barracks where the Others had been living, where they have houses and electricity and food and book clubs(!) and just give it a little time.
Check back tomorrow for our updates.
I’m so pumped to watch the show, I’m almost crapping my pants! But alas, it’s not bath time yet. (if this makes no sense, you need to read the post about getting old.)
I think Locke is cool, so even though he is not rational anymore and he is mightly dangerous, I’d hang out with that cowboy. The island’s not so bad now that they have food, water, shelter, etc. Sheesh, they even have a VW Bus to zip around in.
I’d just kick back and mix up a round of Dharmaritas every day. What a life!
i had forgotten just how attractive juliet is.
