apocalypsosYeah, so guess what I finally saw?
First off, I heartily approve of any episode that starts off with Diana telling Marco he's getting lucky tonight. WINNER. \o/
Anyway, poor Diana. *hugs her* It's one thing to know she loves Maia and another to see just how far she's willing to take that love. Wasting away in a coma just to have memories of Maia? Daaaamn, sweetie.
That the Powers That Will Be figured it would be so damn easy to just take kids they'd already seeded into the timeline and toss them further back in time strikes me as a little weird. I know they're all like, "Oh, we'll make sure your families will forget you and you'll forget them," but I would think that a big hindrance to doing that is that these people don't WANT to forget. Even if you take away their memories, a part of their brain is going to want to remember those kids.
It does make me wonder a lot about what happened to those kids in their alternate past lives. I mean, Maia died when she was twenty-five. Back then, she had a pretty good chance of being married and a mother by then. And Lindsey and Tyler and the twins ... I mean, I find it hard to believe that none of them had kids. That's what gets me -- how easily the Powers That Will Be toss these kids around without seeming to care about who may or may not exist in their own time when they're done. I don't know ... maybe it doesn't matter in the future, but I highly doubt it.
The whole Isabelle-being-evil thing isn't much of a surprise, but it's still pretty cool. Not that we didn't see it coming, honestly, but the overabundance of powers makes a crazy sort of sense that way. If you only get a chance to send one agent back in time, it had better be someone who can hold their own against anyone they come up against. Although, can you imagine how they had to have gotten her smuggled aboard Lily, so to speak? Um, EW.
I think my big problem with the warring factions in the future is that for all of the crap both sides have been pulling, we honestly don't know which side is the good one. I mean, yeah, Faux Sara said the other side wants chaos, but her side doesn't seem to do a hell of a lot that DOESN'T cause some sort of chaos in the end. Take Kyle, for example. I want to think that the other side caused him to do what he did, but they pointed Alana to Tom to give him someone to support him through upcoming difficult times. They had to know damn well what was coming if they did that, indicating that they were the ones who put that thing in Kyle.
Look at both sides, the Powers That Will Be and the Powers That Will Be (Ginormous Chaos-Loving Fucksticks). We have no friggin' clue which side is doing what, and which side is to blame for which of any given episode's creepy happenings, and which side really has humanity's best interests in mind. Just because Kyle on the beach and Alana in her head and Faux Sara say stuff doesn't make it word of law.
And the scary thing is ... still more straight answers than two seasons of Lost ever gave me.
Just for the record, I find myself morbidly amused by the fact that if I were one of the Powers That Will Be, I'd probably be in the warring chaos-loving faction. Heh.
