Ha. You always seem to sell yourself short on the free service you are providing to countless readers. Shouldn't do that.

Not much to add, except that the more I read of your analyses, the more I think that my predictions are aligning quite closely with your own. Whether this means you or I are on to something is another matter, for I long ago decided that the Lost writers are shrewder in thought than even my admittedly fertile mind.
I'll need to think a bit about where they will be going to close out the season. I expected that the last two seasons would be tying things up, but half way through they haven't really done that in any large measure this year. Most of the answers we receive are to mysteries presented recently or ones that are of little consequence. Do we really know much more than the first time we heard the machine scream of the smoke monster in the jungle? Yet more questions abound in each episode. I'm beginning to think that, at the end, we will be left in awe of the genius of it all, or sorely disappointed that every tiny thing that made us wonder wasn't answered sufficiently.
I, of course, choose to continue to believe the former.
