359/365

An eclectic day that calls for three images. The first needs no explanation.

It’s bad enough I had to even enter the Walden Galleria mall, suffering eight aneurysms while inside, but the checkout person at Sears forgot to remove the plastic security device that is apparently filled with glass and ink that will shatter should I try and remove it myself.

Measure of Last Resort

I’m not sure what’s left to write about, quite frankly.

Aside from my usual hyper-analysis of every little Easter egg, I think I’ve said enough over the past two seasons about the major thematic elements that to do so again would be boring. We know that, perhaps, the single most important theme of the show that’s developed is that of choice vs. destiny. Faith vs. science. In no single character has this idea been more evident than in Jack, who finally “saw the light” (pun intended) earlier this season and made the choice to accept his destiny. Heh. But him choosing to embrace it is key. Jacob never had a real choice to accept the mantle of Island guardianship, and it’s resulted in countless deaths and suffering over the years. His finally coming to that realization is what will ultimately decide the conflict between light and dark once and for all (perhaps). Now, excuse me while I again talk about the major thematic elements of the show.
