I officially have no idea what's happening on Lost anymore, but I honestly kinda love it that way.

( Don't tell me what I can't do, wah wah wah! )

Here's a question. In the last episode, Abbadon suggests to Locke that Locke should go on a vision quest. As we know, eventually Locke does go on the vision quest. It is this quest that takes him to Australia. When Locke is informed that he cannot go on his vision quest/hunt thing, that's when he gets on the plane that ends up stranding him on the island. So...it is because of Abbadon that Locke is on the island. Presumably, Abbadon knew that suggesting Locke go on the vision quest would have that result. It seems, then, that Abbadon wanted Locke on the island ( ... )

I agree that all of these questions are interesting and important ( ... )

I have to admit that, being a guy (or perhaps just being me), I have different views on Kate and Sawyer. I mean, perhaps Kate isn't the most interesting character on the show...but if I were stranded on a deserted island with only her around, I'd be actively but discretely sabotaging my own supposed attempts to get us off the island! ;^) As for Sawyer...I've never understood the whole girls-love-bad-guys thing. Especially when that bad guy is a bit of a redneck. One of the greatest mysteries of "Lost", to me, is how come nobody's yet beaten Sawyer senseless with a lead pipe or whatever else is around. (Granted, he's gotten a bit more tolerable over the seasons ( ... )

Oh, I HAAAAATED Sawyer the first season. Given that basically the first thing we heard out of him was an anti-Arab slur, I was like, "Please get this guy off my screen now." I am certainly not one to lust after bad boys. I've always preferred the nerdy ones. But I grew to love him, much as Kate has -- as much as she tries to deny it. I honestly think that the island has had a more positive effect on him than anyone else. He has really come a long way, whereas everyone else is either wallowing in their own selfishness, engaging in an annoying messiah complex, or a combination of both.

The time loop thing is certainly confusing -- is it possible that if something enters the island's magnetic field at a certain bearing it ends up back in time, whereas another bearing takes it forward? Because there's apparently only bearing you can take onto the island without any weird effects.
