Not higher or lower, just different. <br /><br />For example, I interpret FLocke's current plan to make everyone kill everyone else as a new plan. The initial plan was, "Hey, let's get them off the island with me."

Almost everything in the fourth and fifth seasons were really strong, so it's been frustrating to see a lot of, what I perceive as, stumbles, in this season.

It feels like we're just getting to the interesting stuff, and with so much still to resolve both on island and in the alt-verse, it's going to be a rush to the end after a very leisurely start. <br /><br />But that's always been one of the show's problems, they can nail the finish, but Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04702965396185870813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6555488.post-16567947285972705432010-05-05T14:10:40.508-04:002010-05-05T14:10:40.508-04:00y'know i believed smoky when he had previously...y'know i believed smoky when he had previously claimed his goal was to get everybody on the plane because he needed everyone to be there to leave together.<br />but dramatically it never seemed like such an interesting goal. <br /><br />Now, apparently, what we've got is a scenario, where locke is trying to get the candidates to kill each other.
