Assorted Thoughts

Terry O'Quinn might have to get another Emmy. This character and performance are developing fascinatingly. He has the ability to come off as knowledgable, humble, forthright, genuine, vulnerable, compassionate, and consummate. He's really starting to seduce me!! In the same episode he shows weakness in the form of frustration at being interrupted by Sawyer and brutality in hitting Claire in front of his new followers (of course, who wouldn't want to hit Claire?). I still think he's going to be a "bad" guy, though, based on the writer(s)/director's portrayal of the latter instances.
I hate that they're steering Sawyer back to Kate. REALLY, LOST? I liked this episode until the last act when the loss of Charlotte turned into Sawyer's chance meeting of Kate. What should have happened is that, as he dejectedly left Charlotte's apartment he meets Juliet, they hit it off, and she offers to go dutch on some coffee. Instead we got Kate...running...wow. I mean, 'boo.' Then, in the main timeline, because of a dress Kate wore ages ago, he's ready to escape The Island drama with Freckles and, apparently, no one else. REALLY?!
I hope they're simply suspending redemption for dramatic effect. I feel pretty confident that the characters' choices in the main timeline mirror (yes, mirror) their fates in the flash-sideways. Anyone on Team Smokey will meet an unhappy fate - Sayid loses Nadia, Sawyer doesn't resolve his feelings about The Real Sawyer, Kate keeps running (barf). Those on Team Jacob will work out - Jack ends the Shephard-father curse, Locke (though dead, technically in the spirit of Jacob and The Island) comes to terms with his disability and gets Helen, Hurley's the luckiest man alive. I don't think the sides have been set in stone. There will changes. Once we know for certain how things end for a character in one existence we'll know which way they're gonna go in the other.
So, how does Smokey plan to get that plane to take off? And, if Widmore isn't on Team Smokey does that mean he's on Team Jacob? Could he just be Team Widmore? Also, my new crazy theory: Adam and Eve are...(wait for it)...Zach & Emma! Discuss :)
