(can't believe there's not one of these yet)

So, what are your first impressions of Minkowski now that you've seen him?

Murgatroyd · 03-04-2008, 06:30 PM

I liked him and felt sorry for him - a bit obvious, really, seeing as he turned up purely in order to die. I feel a bit off for having assumed he was the next big bad guy - he just seemed to be the main face of the Dreaded Freighters and representative of whatever it is that's worse than the Others ... and then he turns out to be a harmless, sick man. I'm getting the feeling that there's very much two types of freighterite: them in the know, about whom we currently know very little, and those rather on the edge of things and with their own motives for being there but who've had, seemingly rather unfairly, to take the brunt of the Losties' and Ben's fear and anger ... basically everyone we've met so far. I wonder how long before we meet a genuinely scary freighterite (or until one of ours - excusing maverick Miles - turns ... but I kind of hope that doesn't happen now).

^^ I agree, the poor guy. I miss him already.... and I was so sad that he died and right after he helped out Desmond and Sayid.

He seemed like a nice guy.

I really liked him, truly a nice man indeed. Hopefully we see him again in a Freighter flashback.

He looks exactly like he did in Early Edition.

I can't believe hes dead. I reckon hes not. He just said "I can't get back" so I reckon hes trapped in the past and will try and return.

Did Desmond check his pulse?

It is possible he can get back - but Faraday explained you need a Constant in BOTH times but perhaps there is a way around it?

I would hazard a guess and say he is STILL alive in his other conscience, meaning he is stuck in a past time and still within the confines of the show.
