Very brief thought on Lost 6.09: Ab Aeterno

[weewarrior]

Ernsthaft, wenn ich mit einem scheinheiligen Arschloch, das gerne Moralstücke mit unglückseligen Fremden inszeniert, auf ewig auf einer Insel festsitzen würde, dann wäre ich auch mordlustig.

( Seriously, if I were trapped on an island for all eternity with a sanctimonious prick who likes to stage morality plays with hapless strangers, I'd be kind of homicidal, too.)

This whole thing with Jacob and the Man in Black is maddening! I mean, there's the superficial "Jacob is good and Man in Black is evil" thing...but Jacob is a dick and Smokey is...also a dick, but somewhat less so, it seems. I'm sure that's intentional in order to confuddle the issue, but I don't know who to support! I mean, I guess I still ought to support Jacob, since he doesn't go around murdering people, but...still.

Gilt für mich ebenso. :) To paraphrase the famous comment about Milton, Lost is of the devil's party without knowing it?

Yeah, my first thought at that little revelation was, OK, at this point I do think we are, and we'd damned well better be heading toward what you so aptly called the Vorlons & Shadows scenario, because I now officially disapprove of both of them. My second, and intimately related thought was that Jacob -- clearly representing the god to Smokey's devil -- reminds me why I'm glad I'm an atheist. :)
