Spotlight: Lost – Sundown

Although in this weeks Spotlight I will be talking about the events in episode 5 Sundown I will also touch on various points from the last two weeks.

Well… We certainly need more than a Spotlight to find our way through Lost these days, we could have used the Lighthouse, if Jack hadn’t smashed it up last week. Despite the series tagline “Answers are Coming” the creators still insist on bombarding us with increasingly silly questions and offering answers that make no sense.

I know some people love the “mystery” aspect of Lost, but for me, it stopped being a mystery at some point during season 3 because, truth be told, there are no logical answers to be had. A mystery can be solved by the application of logical deduction, the end game of Lost, however, is about giving the audience an answer they haven’t thought of. For example:

The Numbers

Despite the fact that 4,8,15,16,23,42 and 108 have all been around from series one, they have remained central to the mystery of Lost. Unfortunately the question “What do the numbers mean?” has been answer too many times! Now we find out that the numbers also correspond to names written on the wall of cave by a mystical figure, possibly centuries before the people therein named were born. We also discover that Jacob contrived events to bring these people to the island where, presumably due to the fact that most of them are crossed out, they all died.

However those people with names that match the mystically empowered numbers are not dead. Soooooo if the numbers 4,8,15,16,23 and 42 are so important then why all the other numbers in the cave? And how come all the people with corresponding names to the magical numbers all arrived on the same plane… Come on, that’s just a little too much coincidence.

In short, in trying to make the numbers significant, Lost has made them meaningless.

Sayid

Much of this week’s episode focused on Sayid. Despite being a member of the Oceanic Six, Sayid is one of the dullest characters on the show, in fact, when he was shot at the end of last season I assumed he was done and out. Not so. Now Sayid has died and been brought back by some malign spirit and this week he brings about the death of the rest of the Others by killing Drogen and Lennon and letting Smokey-Locke into the Temple.

Interestingly it now looks as if Sayid and Claire will join forces with Smokey-Locke to presumably fight the “War” we were told is coming. However, what makes that more interesting is that Kate seems to be with them. Is that why her name isn’t written on the wall? Or is she the other number we didn’t see… 108? And do we really care about the numbers at all any more anyway?

Is Kate joining forces with Smokey-Locke or is it simply a self preservation thing? My vote is for the latter, all though a final climatic battle between Sawyer and Kate could be fun.

Non-Crashed Sayid however is still in love with Nadia, although she is married to his brother. In fact it is his love of Nadia that convinces Island Sayid to join with Smokey-Locke. Anyway, his brother is in a lot of debt and so Sayid kills his debtor, none other than Martin Keamy and also rescues none other than Jin. Is it just me or is this “Course Correction” thing just a little far fetched?

Ilana and the Others

Ilana seems to have taken over as leader of the Others and Ben seems to have reformed and agreed to follow her orders. Frank, it appears is her right hand man. Together they bust into the temple and successfully save the main cast from Smokey, i.e. Miles Straume as only he hasn’t gone walk about after being “captured” by the Temple-Others

Drogen

In this episode Drogen reveals his back story as to how he was chosen to lead the Others and then he is promptly killed by Sayid. Clearly there is no more room in Lost for more mystery and killing Drogen off is easier than trying to explain anything about the Temple or the Others that reside within.

Jack and Hurley

Still seeing visions of Jacob, Hurley leads Jack to the Lighthouse, which seems to be a tool Jacob used to spy on all the people who’s names are scrawled on the walls of his cave. Jack however smashes the Lighthouse. It would seem the 815 survivors have a rather detrimental effect on the islands architecture…

Sawyer

Smokey-Locke led Sawyer to Jacob’s cave and showed him the names, explaining that they were the names of the Candidates to take over from Jacob. Sawyer was offered three choices, take the job, ignore the job or leave the island… He chose the latter. However, as we all know, Sawyer is a force for good and he will eventually accept the job and lead Jacob’s people into the war against Smokey-Locke. 

I think that pretty much sums things up… Ok, not in an in-depth way, but at this point reading too much into the Lost mythos is like trying to divine the future from the cooking instructions on a pack of oven chips. Pointless…

Until Sunday… This has been My Confused Two Cents…   

First Impressions: The Legend of the Seeker

Looks like I wont be able to get the Lost post done this week, so as an apology, here is something I made earlier…

So, during some downtime last week I finally got around to     watching Terry Goodkind’s Legend of the Seeker. It’s odd, that as a fan of fantasy fiction, I managed to be completely oblivious to this show for so long. I have to be honest, I’m not familiar with Goodkind’s work or The Sword of Truth on which the show is based, so this will not be a comparison of how closely the series pilot sticks to the book or represents the authors work, this is simply my first impressions.

And my first impression from the opening segment was “At Last.” because finally we have a network producing a 22 episode series worthy of the genre. Just the first five minutes made me think, “Wow… I love America!” For the last five years I’ve been stuck with Robin Hood and Merlin as the only fantasy shows on television and with the small budgets the BBC gives these shows there is no chance that they can truly represent a fantasy world on screen. Everybody knows that Sci-Fi is the most expensive genre to shoot, except, I suspect that Fantasy is and that’s why you just don’t see it as often as we should.

So, I had high hopes for the double length pilot. Certainly from a visual perspective it was far and away the best fantasy series I’d seen. However as the story progressed I found myself a little disenchanted.

Firstly, the episode plays out like the opening book of a trilogy, any fantasy trilogy, pick any one, they nearly all follow the same pattern. Book one is essentially little more than 300 pages of exposition and set up, gathering the heroes and starting the quest. The same can be said of the pilot episodes “Prophecy” and “Destiny”… I admit we need to know some stuff about the Legend, but did we need to know everything. Surely with a 22 episode season the exposition could have been a little more dragged out. As they say, show don’t tell. The old man in a hut with a legend is little clichéd, no?

Really? You don't think so? Well that brings me onto my second quibble with the show. How similar the story is to Star Wars!

There is a boy with a special destiny. Men are sent to kill him but an old man with special powers secrets him away to a far off land where he is placed with foster parents. One day a beautiful woman appears carrying with her a message. Her appearance causes drastic changes in the land and the boy discovers that his father is not his father and that he is destined to become a Seeker and to kill an evil emperor. He is given a sword by the old man who rescued him as a child, but he doesn’t believe in his destiny and he returns home to find his farmstead destroyed by fire and his father dead.

But… That doesn’t really make this a bad show. The plot may be the standard fare for a fantasy novel (or a b-movie) but this is a fantasy show, it’s allowed the clichés associated with the genre. As long as it delivers clever writing and stunning visual sequences and exceptional acting talent then it can drop as many rings into as many volcanoes as it likes.

I’ve already said that the show delivers on the visual front, it is spectacular. The actors too manage to look the part. Richard, the Seeker, is handsome and slender, which allows him to have that awkward, clumsy feel to him, while retaining a sexual presence that the ladies can enjoy. Kahlan, the Confessor, is both beautiful and intelligent, she is strong willed and enchanting, she is, in other words, everything the geek in me wants from a central fantasy character. Unlike with Sci-Fi where all women are strong willed and intelligent, the fantasy genre is open to allowing the “damsel in distress” character to exist and happily Legend avoids that stereotype completely. And finally, no mention of the cast of Legend would be complete without a nod to the fantastically characterful Bruce Spence who plays Zed. The life and youthfulness that Spence brings to the role is superb and a lot of fun.

So the actors look the part and for most of the time they do well to play the parts too. After all, it’s a pilot so the roles are as new to them as they are to us and over time the roles will mature anyway. But what about the writing…? Well… It’s better certainly than Robin or Merlin and a lot of fantasy films I could mention (the hugely popular Harry Potter series comes to mind) but it didn’t feel quite there yet. With so much story to tell I guess it is hard to judge the script because so much of it was exposition but if the pilot had a weak point, it would be the dialogue… not all of it by any means, just the odd moment here and there.

So then, in conclusion… This is a show set in a beautifully realised fantasy realm with the budget to pull it off. It’s a little clichéd but so is the genre. With time the writing and the characters will develop and I can see huge potential with the cast and crew to make this show feel spectacular. I’m itching for more and with over thirty episodes still to watch I’m going to wrap this post up and settle down to do just that.

This has been My Two Cents… Join me again soon for more First Impressions.

Happy Birthday

My Two Cents is a year old today with 127 posts under our belt. Our First Post talked about what shows I was looking forward to in the coming second half the Tv season. Since starting the site has seen a lot of shows, too many in fact, die out, but out of that darkness there has come a light in a wealth of new material.

In fact there really isn’t the time for me to talk in detail about everything I’ve watched in the last year. I have a list of 10 reasons posts as long as my arm that I mean to do. However with two other weekly blogs finding the time is not always easy.

If you have enjoyed watching Two Cents grow over the last year feel free to let me know in the comments section. If there is a particular show you would like me to watch or to talk about let me know and I’ll try and get to it.

Finally, I will hopefully get the Lost Spotlight done later today however real life is keeping me quite busy at the moment. So all that remains is to blow out that birthday candle and wish for another successful year to come. 

Weekly Round-Up: 21/02/10

… … … … … …

Erm…

Well… That’s about it.

It seems that this week everybody was more interested in curling or some such thing so all we got was an episode of Lost (which I will Spotlight along with this weeks episode, probably Wednesday) and an episode of Caprica, which I have to confess I haven’t had time to watch yet.

Coming Soon

So, coming up next week, no Chuck, no HIMYM, no Supernatural (25th March apparently) and no Clone Wars. More from Lost and Caprica but that’s it… Unless I find something else to talk about, next week will see either a first impressions or a ten reasons post instead of the usual round up.

Coming in March

March will see a return of many shows including Supernatural, Clone Wars, Chuck, HIMYM, Flash Forward and V… oh and Dollhouse season 3… Nah, I’m just kidding… *fingers crossed :P*

Spotlight: Heroes Redemption - Brave New World

It might be a Brave New World, but it was a piss-poor finale…  Come to that, was it a season finale or final episode? Will NBC really re-commission Heroes after possibly the worst season on record?

It started out well… The Sylar/Nathan thing was working… even better the Sylar in Matt’s head thing was awesome. Peter’s ability to switch powers was interesting. Hiro and Ando’s dial a hero company was light and fun. Even the mysterious Samuel and his carnival of Specials was intriguing. But it devolved into a drab, pointless quest that dragged on for weeks longer than it should have and ended in this…

Sylar, Peter and Matt

Sylar and Peter finally break out of Sylar’s head and then they take down Eli. Sylar convinces Matt he’s changed during the five years that passed in his head and that he is now one of the good guys. Matt reprogram’s Eli by pushing thoughts into his head and turning him against Samuel. Then the three of them set off to fight the big bad carnie.

Claire and Noah

After plenty of chit chat Claire and Noah are rescued by Tracey who burrows through the earth by turning herself liquid. After that Claire returns to the Carnival to convince the specials to leave to stop Samuel from having the power to kill half of New York.

Hiro and Charlie

Hiro is finally reunited with his lost love Charlie. Turns out she had been sent back in time and now she is married with Grandchildren. Hiro tries to return to the past so that he can be with her, but Ando reminds him that “There are no small butterflies” meaning that if Hiro goes back he will erase Charlie’s children and grandchildren for existence. And so with that he heads off to stop the Butterfly Man.

Doyle and Emma

Emma refuses to play the cello and bring people to Samuel so that he can kill them. So Samuel has Doyle force her to play. It’s a shame that the plot really hangs on this because Doyle can only control motor function, he cannot control what Emma is thinking and as previously stated in another episode, Emma’s power is based on what she is thinking about. Unless she was thinking about calling people to be the carnival they wouldn’t come.

Anyway that’s how Emma ends up fulfilling the dream Angela had.

Samuel

So Samuel has all the Specials he needs to bury the city of New York and he has used Emma to bring the people out to watch. His intentions are to show the world that the Specials exist by performing what amounts to an act of terrorism. However the other Heroes aren’t about to let him do that.

Firstly, Sylar takes down Doyle, freeing Emma and breaking her hold over the people gathering in the carnival. Unfortunately Sylar feels the need to come out with the corniest line ever. “That’s not you.” Doyle mutters. “You’re like me.” “No.” Sylar breathes, pausing so that the next line is as cheesy as possible. “I’m a hero!”

ARRRRRRRRRRGH! I did actually scream at the TV when Zach actually spoke those words, I saw it coming and begging him not to say it, to have a thread of integrity left in his body, but no…

Next Eli admits to killing Lidia at Samuel’s request, thus turning the Specials against him. However Samuel will not be stopped, there is no way that the rest of the Specials can get far enough away to stop him now… Cue Hiro. Our little Japanese hero, supercharged by Ando’s red lightening, teleports everyone out of there leaving Samuel powerless as Peter takes his power and the two of them do battle. With only a handful of specials left in the area Samuel is done for but he still feels the need to have a little scream about it.

And that’s it… That was what we’ve been waiting for for 19 episodes. As a Villain Samuel was more than incompetent, he was downright dumb. This was not Kirby Plaza (the final climatic battle at the end of season 1) this was limp. After a series with some really nice dark moments in it, like Sylar being bricked up behind a wall, we were left with this.

Chapter Six

And so we reach the teaser for Chapter Six: A Brave New World, which is really little more than a conclusion to the episode rather than a sneak peak at what is coming. Essentially everyone congratulates themselves on preventing the world from knowing their secret, a victory Claire then celebrates by throwing herself off the Ferris wheel. Even worse she gets up, pushes her joints back into place and says to the camera “I’m Claire Bennett and this attempt number… I guess I’ve kinda lost count.” Thus revealing to the world that superheroes exist.

*Major Yawn* wake me up next year with a better ending!

This has been My Unheroic Two Cents…       

Weekly Round-Up: 14/02/10

This week sees a corny end to a rather drawn out Heroes, a lack-lustre Lost, a rather good HIMYM and Chuck and a superb outing for the Winchester boys in Supernatural.

As always the post contains some plot spoilers so be warned… read on at your own risk.

Chuck – Vs. The Mask

A reasonably good episode with plenty of time for the new cast members Brandon Routh (Superman Returns) and Kirstin Kreuk (Smallville). However, as always happens, the best storyline from last week was resolved this week without altering the meta-storyline… The possibility that Elle and/or Morgan would find out Chuck’s secret would have been great, but instead they have assumed his secret was that he was dating Hannah… Booo!

However Sarah and Casey did reveal this week that it’s almost time for Chuck’s training wheels to come off… it’s time for him to go it alone. What can this possibly mean for the show? Are Sarah and Casey actually leaving? Are the produces setting up for a massive series overhaul? Who knows… All I know is that Chuck is as good as ever… well… almost anyway… 

Heroes – Brave New World

I’m not going to say much about this as I’ll be breaking it down in this week’s spotlight, but considering how long it took us to get to the finale it really didn’t feel very climatic at all.

How I Met Your Mother – Rabbit or Duck

Another great episode of the show this week as Barney is tortured by his “Magic Phone.” After appearing on the Superbowl holding up his phone number Barney’s mobile never stops ringing with hot girls on the other end. Unfortunately Barney can’t enjoy being with the girls because there might be a hotter girl out there. Eventually he can’t take it any more and he has to get rid of the phone… but Ted finds it and the whole process begins again.

However the title of episode is really about Robin and her co-anchor Don and her in-ability to admit she has feelings for him.

Lost – What Kate Does

I’ve already talked a little bit about this episode earlier this week but it certainly wasn’t the most eventful episode. The episode title draws from the season two episode “What Kate Did” where we found out she murdered her father but all that “Kate Does” is take a pregnant girl to the hospital… It’s hardly as exciting.

Other than that we learn what happened to Claire after Christian took her at the end of season 4 and we Learnt that Sayid has been “Claimed” whatever that will mean. Hopefully next week’s episode “The Substitute”will be more exciting. With only 14 episodes remaining I would have thought the creators were done wasting time…

Supernatural – My Bloody Valentine

Another wonderful episode of my favourite CW series. This week’s episode begins with one of the shows most stomach churning moments when two star-crossed lovers devour each other in graphic detail. It even put me off my supper…

However, the episode that blossoms out of this moment is hilarious. Everything from meeting a Cherub, to Castiel’s deadpan commentary is brilliant. And despite being fun and classic Supernatural it still manages to further the Mythology by introducing us to the second of the four Horsemen, Famine!

And now I finally see where this season is going. If Supernatural is going for a sixth season then I suspect the final showdown with the Devil will be suspended until next season and instead this season will focus on defeating all four Horsemen. An absolutely fantastic episode and a great showdown with a Horseman that didn’t end with a super-hottie being killed off!

Clone Wars – Duchess of Mandalore

Ok, so my prediction last week that the Duchess would be killed off hasn’t come true… yet! But Dooku has ordered her death, which makes me think she will be dead before the season is out. So this episode concludes the Mandalore storyline as the senate decides that the planet is to remain neutral. But the Deathwatch has not yet been brought to justice so I expect we will see them again before the season is done.

Coming Soon…

More of the same as Locke gets the Flashsideways treatment in Lost. More great comedy from Chuck and HIMYM, followed with healthy doses of Caprica and Supernatural… Plus Heroes finally gets in the spotlight as we take a detailed look at a Brave New World and where season 5 is heading?

Spotlight: Lost – LA X and What Kate Does…

Yes that’s right folks, three episodes for the price of one… Unlike previous spotlights I wont be talking about these episodes in order because, frankly, that would take forever. Instead I will  break them down into components and discuss them that way.

If you want a complete breakdown check out Lost Lover At Law 

Flash Sideways

The major new element in season 6 is the introduction of the flash sideways. Without actually reading about them on the web, you don't really get a sense that there are two (very real) parallel stories going on here, or at least I didn’t.  However Lindelof and Cuse have made it very clear that the island story and the landing in L.A story are both equally valid and that neither should be thought of as “the real timeline”.

I’m guessing, that while the islanders fight a war against the Black Smoke alongside the new Others, the Alternate 815er’s will continue to cross paths through twists of fate. For sure, how can you explain Desmond Hulme’s appearance otherwise. Already Locke and Jack have plans to meet up, while Kate and Claire have already crossed paths.

However, in the non-crashed 815 storyline, while destiny seems intent on course correction (i.e. to bring all the survivors of the 815 crash together to fight the war between Jacob and the Black Smoke in both timelines) certain things changed. Primarily, the island sunk, presumably right after jughead, possibly killing all of  the Others. This means no Charles Widmore and no Penny? (Because she is too busy with Flash Forward?).

It could also spell doom for other islanders. Did Miles’ mother escape in time? What about Charlotte? Did Eloise escape with Daniel? 

With only 14 episodes remaining, that is a lot questions that need answering…

Jack

Since sometime in season 3 Jack fell from grace and now, instead of being the leader, he is just as Lost as everyone else. On the island Jack’s assurances that Jughead will reset everything have failed and now Sawyer has him to blame for Juliet’s death. Then, after failing to use his medical knowledge to save Sayid he hands his friend over to the Others, who after much secrecy ask Jack to poison the Iraqi.

Meanwhile 815-Jack lands safely in L.A only to discover his father’s coffin is missing. He also meets up with John Locke. After a bit of a theological chinwag Jack offers John a free consultation about his back issues.

815-Jack seems to be different to Original-Jack in only minor ways. He’s still angry, especially with Christian, but he has longer hair… that’s it.

Kate

On island Kate is acting as a mediator, hoping to keep Sawyer from killing Jack, however with Juliet out of the picture Kate is back in the middle of the love triangle. (Although that said, I’m not convinced either Jack or Sawyer wants her anymore.) 

815-Kate however uses her bathroom break in LA X to escape from the Marshall and hi-jack a cab (driven by Doyle from Heroes of all people) and which pregnant lady should be riding in the back? That’s right Claire.

It seems that Kate is fated to help Claire give birth to Aaron (and to convince her to keep the baby). After she kidnaps Claire, the pregnant girl goes into labour and Kate takes her to hospital where she is treated by non-other than Ethan! However, with the island gone, is it safe to assume that Ethan is no longer an Other?

Ethan drugs Claire to cease her premature labour and Kate ducks out, after Claire hands over her credit card, of course. I’m sure this is not the last time these two will meet. After all, on-island Kate claims her only goal is to reunite Aaron with his mother.

Locke

Locke is dead… Yup, Dead is Dead, although that doesn’t stop a frikkin’ smoke monster turning into you and convincing ex-Other Leader Ben to murder Jacob. Yep, that’s right On-Island Locke is in fact the smoke monster. He kills the majority of Jacob’s body guards (the “in the shadow of the Statue” people from last season) and then takes charge of the last of the non-temple Others, knocking Richard out and slinging him over his shoulder. 

815-Locke however is alive and well and wheelchair bound. He is returning from his walkabout, or at least he claims he is. He certainly doesn’t seem like the bitter old man from the island. In this timeline did Locke become paralysed by some method other than being thrown through a window by his father? Is he actually content?

Sayid

815-Sayid lands in LA X and sets out to look for his lost love… Other than that we know little else about him.

On-Island Sayid is a different matter. After Juliet passes away Hurley insists on taking him to the temple because Jacob appears to chubby millionaire and tells him to do so. However, the others at the temple drown Sayid and proclaim him dead.

Only he isn’t.. But when he wakes back up he is “infected”. Dogen, leader of the Others in the Temple warns Jack that Sayid has been “Claimed” just like Rousseau's team, just like CLAIRE!

Dogen insists that Jack must kill Sayid… presumably before he turns feral and starts shooting everyone. 

Hurley

815-Hurley is a happy-go-lucky lottery winner who has never had a piece of bad luck in his life.

On-Island Hurley however is now talking to dead people, including the great and powerful Jacob. He convinces Jack to allow him to take Sayid to the Others, proving that Jacob sent him by handing over the guitar case. When Dogen, the Leader of the Temple Others, opens the case it is not a guitar but an Ankh (the Egyptian symbol for eternal life.)  However, upon receiving it Dogen smashes it open and retrieves a piece of paper from inside.

I’m thinking that Jacob knew he was going to be killed then, otherwise why would he give Hurley this message to pass on if he thought he would be alive and well enough to do it himself. This could easily be taken as a metaphor for Jacob as Christ, who also knew he was going to be killed giving instructions to his apostles ahead of time.

The paper, I would assume, contains a list of names which includes Sayid and Sawyer for definite. I don’t know if it the same list Ben had…

Dogen

Is it any coincidence that the leader of the Temple Others is named after a Japanese Zen Buddhist who’s writings include “Treasury of the Eye of the True Dharma” Dogen is the apparent leader of the Temple-Others. When he realises that Jacob is dead he launches flares to let Richard know he and Others are needed. As well as fortifying the temple walls, plenty of ash is laid down to keep the Black Smoke out.

Dogen’s news about Claire being “Claimed” by the Dark Side explains why Christian (Black Smoke) took her at the end of  season 4. It could also explain how she survived the explosion in her house, like Sayid, she probably died and was then “claimed” by whatever the Black Smoke is.

Everyone Else

So what else happened? Well, many other dead or missing characters made a reappearance this week. Charlie returned, choking on a bag of heroine. After Jack saved his life Charlie snapped at the Doc, warning him that “I was supposed to die.” Something Desmond Hulme once told him.

The irritating school teacher Dr. Artz returned but so far no major storyline for him.

Heroes’ Matt Parkman (Greg Grunberg) returned as the voice of Seth Norris. It would be quite cool to see Seth and Frank catch up on old times, wouldn’t it. 

The air stewardess Cindy returns as one of the Temple Others, supposedly reassuring Jack, Kate and the others that it’s all going to be ok.

Boone makes a reappearance too, with a rather weak excuse as to why Shannon cannot be there. There were no signs of Walt, Michael, Anna Lucia, Paulo, Nicky or Libby either although I’m fairly sure Frogurt made an appearance.

Desmond Hulme made a rather prophetic appearance which has some people speculating that Desmond’s ability to remain outside the flow of normal time will affect both timelines, despite never having been exposed to the Swan Hatch in the 815 timeline.

Juliet Burke was killed by the fall into the Swan Hatch, however her dying thoughts were simply “It worked” which suggests that somehow the two timelines will be relevant to each other.

Sawyer was devastated by her death as he had planned on asking her to marry him.

Ben has been totally dethroned and is now little more than a shell of a man. He is the Judas Iscariot of the Lost world.

Richard is revealed as possibly being one of the survivors of the Black Rock, which makes me wonder just how old other Others like Dogen are.

Finally, the episode closes out with Jin being pinned down by gunfire from non-other than “Claimed” Claire.

Conclusions

We know now that the “Dead People” on the island are in fact the Black Smoke, which of course brings into question the motives of the entity. It also brings into question Walt, who has appeared on the island several times, even since leaving it. Is Walt dead? Probably not? Is he able to translocate himself somehow using his psychic powers? Or is another being (i.e. Jacob) using Walt’s familiar form to gain the trust of certain islanders?

How can the two parallel stories be related and what possible conclusion can they have? The only one I can see is that both stories end the same way, proving that everything that has happened was fated to anyway.

How many more main character deaths will we see now that they can live on in the other storyline? Sawyer, for sure, will die on the island, probably saving everyone else. And Vice-Versa, which dead characters will now return in the 815 storyline? Daniel Faraday? Libby? Anna? Echo?

So many questions, so few episodes, so much confusion… We can only be watching Lost!
