Dr. Linus


FINALLY, some of the characters we have been wondering about are starting to show up!  I thought tonight was going to be a real snooze, but they threw us a bone in the last three seconds.

I knew it was coming though, didn't you, when we got the long shot of the beach from the perspective of the ocean.  It couldn't be anything but a submarine.  Oh well, at least we got something.  But, what does "proceed" mean?  They FOUND the Island.  Wasn't that the goal?  But they also SEE the Island, when supposedly it "disappeared."  I guess it just moved, and it was a matter of time before it was discovered again.  I am deliberately not mentioning any names, just in case there is someone out there who hasn't seen this episode.

So, this is what I am getting from the Flash sideways stories:  Even the worst characters on the Island have redeeming qualities, or at least would have been somewhat different had they not been forced into a "Lord of the Flies" situation.  The Island is showing another side of their personalities and now they are having to deal with the consequences of their actions—positive or negative.   

Sad to say, only nine more episodes.  The story is too complicated--that just isn't enough.

You're welcome to leave comments if you'd like.  Thanks for reading!

It's KiwiKnitsStuff :) I completely agree that we aren't going to get all of the answers, but hopefully they will give us a good ending. We just need two people to reunite, and it will be great to see that when it happens. I hate that they only have nine episodes left :(
