The Return Of LOST and Beyond

[Vincent, Thunder God]

Locke cooked a dude from the inside out.

Friggin' right.

That was severely badcore.

Locke must have had some reason for doing that. He's been making a lot of wierd decisions for quite a while, and it's been making me wonder what his plans are - part of me wonders if this whole "Sacrifices for the Island" thing isn't getting a bit out of hand. In Season 1 he was a kind, fatherly figure with good advice and a great influence - epsecially towards Charlie, but now he's starting to seem as if he's scheming and plotting at the expense of the others.

Oh my god, that was so exciting. I thought I was just going to die when they climbed over the fence. My sweet little Kate can't ever die! and it was fun to see some guy riding on a bike there. xD Also exciting the whole Charlie thing, despite the supernatural parts of it. I've always liked the Final Destination movies anyway.

There's one thing I wonder, though. I've asked this question to the ones I live with, and they're all split on this:

Who's your favorite character?

Mine is Kate and Sawyer, interesting characters with interesting flashbacks, in my opinion. Charlie & Jack in a close second, I guess. Good characters, but rather boring flashbacks.

It used to be Locke, but his season 2 wack-out turned me to Sawyer, for his nicknames alone.

Yeah, seriously... he completely changed in Seasons 2-3, and I agree, in Season 1 he was my favourite character, but now he's just starting to seem overly supernatural and mystical - he's no longer kind, insightful and down-to-earth. He also seemed wise, and was the one with survival experience in Season 1 - now he's just lurking in the background as the advocate for the Island.

For a while he had given up on the Island and was trying to destroy the hatch - I thought that, along with his return to Charlie's conflict with drugs, might be a return to his old character, but now Eko, one of my favourite characters, is gone, and Locke thinks due to the implosion of the hatch and Eko's death that the Island is once again the be all and end all to his motives.

I've grown to like Sawyer more, now that I understand his character more - I like Jack less, and characters like Kate, Sayid, Charlie - they're about the same.

I really thought that some of the new Season 2 characters like Lizzy and Eko had a lot going for them, and I think they could have developed into great characters if they hadn't been killed off. It was pointless to go to all the trouble of introducing members from the other end of the plane just to kill them off, especially when they had so much to offer - especially Lizzy, who appeared in Hurley's psych ward. That would be such a cool connection to explore further.
