…Or you may end up with a gun shot wound to the stomach as a parting gift from the producers of “Lost.” Is this the message ABC is sending Michelle Rodriquez and Cynthia Watros for the negative press the network received on behalf of the girl’s bad behavior? If not, that’s some pretty ironic shit, especially considering this week’s Ana Lucia flashback episode dealt with the relationship between her and Jack’s alcoholic father.
And before I get off track, let us not forget that it was Michael (back from his reconnaissance mission to the Others camp) who did the shooting, also turning the gun on himself right in front of Creepy Balloon Guy. Now, I highly doubt that Michael is one of Them, but does it seem foolish to think that he’s made a deal with the Others guaranteeing the safe return of Walt? Personally, I think the series has gotten way out of hand. These pointless double-crosses seem tailor-made for Sweeps Month, or why else would Michael (who we know darn well was on that plane) be working for the bad guys?
Then again, are They really all that bad? Locke doesn’t seem to think so, especially after hearing about Creepy Balloon Guy’s mission to bring him (“one of the good ones”) back to the Others’ camp. With only a couple weeks left before the season finale, it’ll be interesting to see how the survivors react to the loss of two more castaways, as well as how Michael’s role on the island changes.
