It's completely bizarre, but the more I think about it, the more sense it starts to make. I think I've spent too much time watching the Lost-type shows, where you think about it too hard and it all collapses in on itself. SCC is so clever - I think it actually all works, and it was so far out of left field I would never have guessed they'd do it. THEY WIN.

I think: That John just got leapt forward to the beginning of the resistance, before he and Kyle go to Century Workcamp. I'm not entirely sure why it makes more sense to have him leap forward than the live through - is Weaver actually evil? Did she sneak off because she was worried they'd catch her out as Metal, or because of some nefarious purpose? But in any case, now John can inject some new energy and ideas into the bedraggled resistance, and build them up into something with purpose. And it suits the messiah-esque way everyone's always referred to him - he just appeared out of nowhere, that's pretty godlike! IT WAS ALWAYS THIS WAY!

And the production gaffe where they said that Derek has celebrated John's 30th, when they meant for it to say 40th? It makes sense now! Maybe it wasn't a gaffe? Maybe they just didn't want to tell us the ending! *bounces*

I blame sheafrotherdon for me going analytical - she's infectious because she's so right.

p.s. I hope that the exchange of chocolate is a part of the German easter! OM NOM NOM.
