Sayid gets to meet Nadia again, and Desmond and Penny hook up again, but a little black boy and his father hooking up again, that wasn’t interesting?
OK, comparing Michael and Walt to those two couples, you know to the lovers, is really freaking creepy. Especially when you use the phrase “hooking up”. Seriously. Ick.
Again I have to ask if you’ve ever watched the show. Do you just watch your scenes over and over? We already know that Nadia has less than a year before she gets killed, and we’ve seen Benry vow to kill Penny in retaliation for his daughter. Don’t even pretend that they’re getting happy endings. They’re getting happy middles at best, and Michael got one of those when he reunited with Walt at the end of Season Two.
And actually, the “hooking up” (shudder) really wouldn’t be that interesting. Michael and Walt did not have a relationship before the Island. Walt was raised by another man – he didn’t even know Michael until he showed up to take him back. In show time, the two spent 40 days together on the Island, and then, after Walt was missing for another month or so, they spent a couple of weeks on a boat. And during that time, Michael managed to burden a nine-year-old with the knowledge that his father had killed two innocent people (fine, one innocent person and Ana Lucia) for him. How could those two ever have a relationship without some serious cheating by the writers? There’s a huge difference between reuniting lost lovers and forcing a kind of crappy dad on a kid who’s more than a little scared of him.
