I don't think he has a plan either. He just doesn't care anymore.

Anything besides get back with Kate I hope. That would be so terribly unrealistic.

I agree. I think he doesn't care about anything anymore. Maybe he will try to get off the Island somehow.

I saw the previews too, but I don't think they explain what Sawyer wants to do.

I've been thinking since the finale that he was definitely about to go dark side... at least for a bit. And then even more likely I think he's going to have to find the good in him at the very end and sacrifice himself, most likely to save Kate (sorry ladies)

I think his intentions are just to be "Alone" . He said that some people are meant to be alone and he certainly believes that is his "lot in life". He'll probably stay in Otherton in their old house. His two loves are gone, he doesn't plan to follow Jack, he has abandoned his friends as he usually does when people get to close to him. I think his intentions are to live out the rest of his day alone - unless he decides to end his own suffering. But that doesn't seem like Sawyer. Living alone for the rest of his life alone seems like the type of punishment he would inflict upon himself.

With Juliet gone, Sawyer feels he has nothing left to lose.........he will fight Flocke.......and he will not win.

mark my words... he's going to be a hero... the end.

I'm with you there agentalana - he certainly is my hero!!

Previews, earlier promos featuring next weeks episode, and spoilers aside.

Sawyer is in the perfect frame of mind to be manipulated.
Granted, it would take a master manipulator of epic proportion, and with Ben out of the running I think we can all see where this is going (for now, at least).
This is the first time we've heard the Others refer to the sickness.
I always thought Danielle was nuts:35: until This Place is Death, then thought it was like Yemi, and now Smocke.
If Smocke is a who, how can he infect people at the Temple when he's in the Jungle or perhaps even still in the Statue?
I thought the stuff Desmond was shooting was a con to keep him in the hatch and not exploring the Island.
Now, i just don't know.:7:

Well, the woman he loved and lived with (and apparently planned on marrying) for 3 years just died. Anyone that has dealt with the loss of a significant other will tell you that often you don't have a plan the day after it happens.

I think a dark Sawyer is going to be awesome. He has always been my top two favorites and he is out for revenge now and he is going to be a force to recon with in upcoming episodes.

I think Sawyer is determined to separate himself from everyone else for a while, but I'm still thinking that there will be something that happens that reminds him of "going Dutch" and "it worked" and he'll come charging back with some insight for us and the Losties. I think (hope) that there isn't a whole lot more with Kate; they hit a home run with his emotions in this episode and I would hate to think TPTB would take away from that so soon by focusing that storyline on Kate instead of James (and Juliet's sacrifice).

I personally think Sawyer's going to be aligned with Dogen. Dogen made it clear that it was of high importance that Sawyer is brought back. One way or another he'll get him and I think at that point, Sawyer either won't really care anymore (kinda like screw it...it's not worth my struggle without Juliet) or that Jack wants to do the opposite of Dogen and Sawyer really wants to spite Jack.

I think while he goes off to be alone, he'll be doing some thinking - not only about what went wrong but where he'll go from here. Of course, he'll be get sidetracked because that wouldn't be very compelling television but I hope that's what happens for a small while before he gets sucked back in and have to make any kind of decision.

He's going to go back to surviving, like he did before. But hopefully he's learned something from his time on the Island and the turnaround we saw in S5 will make him approach things differently this time. Hopefully on the Island, but I'm betting for sure in the ALT.

I don't see him going dark after this last episode. While he was all angry, I could see it but now he's just deeply sad. He may want to be alone, but he's no longer the nihilist he was when he got to the island, if you see what I mean. Kate's notion about trying to do accomplish a mission that will at least make their suffering worth something is a notion I can see taking root in his mind if an opportunity presents itself. So at this point, even if it looked like he were going dark, I'd be inclined to believe it was a long con sort of deal. What's scarey is that I don't think he gives much of a damn about "surviving" at this point, and that could lead him to be reckless.

I think that at the end of the season (ar maybe before) he'll try to protect Jack, Kate, Hurley, etc (yes, Jack too). He's sad now but i think he will do something good for them.

It is nice to finally see someone truly mourn the loss of someone on this island. Usually, there is a touching scene and then they move on. 3 days after Charlie died, Claire is all happy hanging up clothes in Otherton. They bury bodies, say a few words, and go on with their lives.

He'll eventually snap out of it and get down to business to save the day, but for now, if he wants to sulk for awhile in his old house, I'll give him that. I don't think it will last long though. He won't want her death to be in vain.

It's also ironic since he's always been the one they accused of never caring about anyone but himself.

reminds me of early on when Sayid said " Hope is a scary thing to lose"

Sawyer is in a place where he might not fully consider the consequences of his actions. He may decide to do whatever suits him best at that moment, not thinking of his friends. Of course, that will probably change when something bad does(or could) happen and he redeems himself. Isnt that how the hero role goes?

I said the same thing to my hubby after that scene with him and Kate at the dock. I was so afraid after last epi that he would just start being a badass again and not show any emotion. Character growth - love it!

I'm wondering if we'll see two camps again like in S4. It always seems to come down to two sides. These people need a mediator! Maybe Oprah? :biggrin:

I think you are quite right, T -- at least about the island. Why do you think that about the ALT?

*edit*

I was also really relieved that there was some real mourning on this show. I think TPTB played it spot-on this time.

Anyway, I think many of you are correct that he, of course, doesn't have a "plan" right now. He wants to be alone. He just wants to suffer and think about Juliet. He blames himself. It's just so hard for me to think about him just sitting around in that old house of theirs, crying, doing nothing really. I mean, I guess that's realistic. People do that when they lose someone.
Anyway, it's a tv show. That won't last long...

Claire mourned Charlie for 2 episodes. By next episode, sullen snarky Sawyer will be back. So, its the same Lost profile. 2 episodes.

What will sawyer do? He will go and find out why he is on this island. Just like everyone else. Sitting in Dharmaville feeling sorry for himself was never going to last more than 5 minutes. This is television not real life. So, sawyer moping around any longer is going to make for boring television.

Sawyer is now feeling down on his luck. Nothing ever seems to work for him. He cant catch a break. Hence, maybe he is meant to be alone. So, following Locke/Flocke is something he will do but there is no use thinking he is doing it because he has nothing to lose. He followed Locke in season 4. Thats just Sawyer. So, sure sign as any that Sawyer is back. He certainly doesnt want to be following Jack about. As far as he knows, Kate is back at the temple. So, once he snaps out of the guilt which seems to be the predominant feeling from what he said, he will eventually reunite with his friends and he is not going to be on a revenge mission except he wants to kill himself because he is as much to blame as anyone. The scene at the dock did not show the angry Sawyer. it showed sad sawyer. Acceptance whether right or wrong, of his part in this death and of the fact that no matter what he does, dead is dead. So we have had the stages of grief. Anger and sadness. They have pleased those that were planning to picket ABC offices. Now the story can continue :)

I assume he plans to get a job as a barista at Starbucks. Oh wait, he's trapped on a weird island where his life is in danger isn't he? What is his plan exactly? Come to think of it, what are any of them planning to do? Someone remind me why I'm watching this show.

Being a big Sawyer fan, I am really interested to see his interactions with Flocke, and what information James may learn...

Did any of you watched the previews for next week - Saywer is going to hook up with the MIB, at least for the time beening.
