[QUOTE="The_lurkeR, post: 1850870, member: 11092"] Originally Posted by Mark "Sawyer's that he was the victim at the source of the confidence game being played out in his background sequence, rather than the actual confidence artist" That wasn't the "twist" actually, Sawyer was the confidence man in the flashbacks. The reason he called it off and left when he saw the kid though was because it reminded him of his past. The letter was not from the kid in the flashbacks but from himself, because the situation happened to him when he was a child. It helps to explain why he now has that self-loathing because he had become what he hated as a child. Not as big a twist as you're making it to be. Originally Posted by LightPhoenix "The flashbacks serve not just to reveal mysteries about characters (who they are), but to show why they are the way they are." + "Just because you think you know someone, doesn't mean you do, and that's one of the big points the show tries to make. It goes right back to the pilot, when Hurley assumes Sayid fought for the US, because Sayid was a nice guy." Great post LP, you summed up alot of my feelings about the show. ;) [/QUOTE]
