Indeed. Thanks for that piece of information. Now that I've seen it all, I "get" what Curtis was talking about. One *could* see it that way. I don't, not yet. I still think that Ben and Locke are the craziest and most dangerous mofos on the island, and I don't necessarily see that the writers were saying, "Trust them, because they have visions. Have faith in people like this." As far as I can tell, this prime-time soap opera could still go pretty much anywhere. A lot like the future itself. :-) I do like the quantum-mechanical, let's-see-if- we-can-find-another-path-through-the-alternate- pasts-and-thus-generate-an-alternate-future thang, though. I'm looking forward to seeing how they resolve all this, especially after hearing from you how they write the series, as an ongoing work in progress, with no fixed future. > Maybe next season will take place mainland and with some > "flashbacks" to the island.

I kinda like the results of having more episodes to play with character development. Later...
