Think of them - Hurley being lucky, Jack being a dad, Nadia marrying Sayid's brother. So far all the really big changes predate the flight. Something else has changed this world. The flight landing has only been one small part of it so far, certainly in at least three of the stories.<br /><br /><br /> TheyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-77528947451298300982010-03-03T09:27:35.418-05:002010-03-03T09:27:35.418-05:00I also think the flash sideways are important.

Not only are they going back to what got us interested in the characters in the first place and showing us the different directions their lives would have taken if the plane hadn't crashed, I also think they are heading towards something, with Locke meeting Jack in the airport and Jack giving him his card, Kate running into Claire, Locke meeting suncore598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-87352920603096892952010-03-03T02:41:59.648-05:002010-03-03T02:41:59.648-05:00And in that sense I don't think it's true ...And in that sense I don't think it's true that character development is meanly divided between off and on-island with characters lingering without arcs on the island, or leaning too heavily on the mainland scenes to convey dubiously contrived moments of affected pathos: Jack et al, may move in circles, but through their repetitions difference seems to appear and be eventually enacted, as Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-78749347616284739072010-03-03T02:41:23.778-05:002010-03-03T02:41:23.778-05:00Haven't seen the episode yet, so just skimmed ...Haven't seen the episode yet, so just skimmed your commentary, avoiding plot details.<br />Provocative as always!<br />I find myself in agreement with you on TV most of the time, so it's fun being on a different wavelength usually with Lost.<br />We'll always have Six Feet Under I guess! <br />With the side-ways and flashbacks I think I must just enjoy spending time with these Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
