What is up with this guy? And more importantly, why is anybody even listening to him? Do they really have to do things his way or not at all? Um… no. Michael has absolutely no power among the survivors. He’s not the strongest of the group, or the most intelligent. In fact, beside his construction expertise when building the boat (that was blown up, by the way), this guy is a complete waste of space. Jack is a doctor. Jin can fish. Sun gardens. Charlie sings. Hurley is great company. Locke can track. Sayid can torture prisoners and build radios. Eko can beat the shit out of, well, anybody. Claire can procreate. Kate’s just nice eye-candy, but she can shoot a gun as well. Hell, even Vincent the Dog can fetch and bark at intruders.
Michael, however, does nothing. He can’t even lie well, or Sayid wouldn’t have been able to pick up on the fact that he had been compromised during his trip to the Others camp. He’s told Jack about it, and now all they have to do is figure out a way to tip the scales in their favor. Here’s an idea: why don’t Sayid, Jin, Eko and Charlie nab a few guns and follow the first group to the camp? That obviously makes too much sense, especially since there’s a rogue sailboat stealing everyone’s attention. Hello! There’s nobody in there! Can we forget about the stupid boat and get back to more pressing matters? Like, gee, I dunno, beat the shit out of Michael for murdering Ana-Lucia and Libby? It’d be a good start anyway…
