I read this argument about how desperate things are with the HCR thing, for the love of all things holy, pass the goddamn thing already, and get the fuck out of the way you limousine liberal assholes. It was a good argument.
Then there was this argument in response, pointing out that "the good" is, in fact, the enemy of "perfection," and that if there's ever going to be a time when the perfect is pragmatic, it will be because those limousine liberals--with their megaphones and satellite feed studios beaming into our living rooms and/or onto our browsers--kept being assholes about it all.
The Rest of This Post Will Solely Concern LOST
Sawyer is a cop in alternate reality, which is hilarious but also very cool. The revelation that Jacob's touch was the truly corrupting tragedy of James Ford's life, rather than his parents' deaths, carries some serious implications about Jacob's true nature. In the original reality, the man as Locke makes the mirror argument to justify the Temple massacre.
At the same time, to believe that Jacob's intentions are innately selfish is to ignore the arc of the previous episode, which saw Ben truly triumph through sacrifice, in both universes.
Or what if the dualities--
Or, wait. Nevermind. Sawyer just punched his mirror image, because he was still looking to kill Anthony Cooper, and he's a wreck either way. Or maybe he's a little steadier--pursuing a criminal in a legal manner, while forfeiting trust to his partner as a subconscious way of maintaining an ethical standard in the pursuit of "justice."
It's so cool: Sawyer is a courier to either of three sides in the battle for the island. The wildcard. The Gambit.
And it turns out Aaron really is the spawn of the island?
But maybe Claire got her shit together; maybe she isn't really the crazy woman that gave birth to the chaos of the island.
Anyway, I don't know. I'm high and I'm totally nerding out. So take legal recourse, or whatever.
