but they set him up as a good guy. i'm not talking about looking at sloane in the big picture with hindsight. i'm saying as a viewer watching. they set up his reform in year 3 and waited awhile to show he was bad. then they did the same in year 4. year 5 they're showing that he has ulterior motives right away, but the characters think he's good.
its basically the same plot repeated over and over again.

As for the whole story arc thing, they've been doing that since the first episode. Each episode is tied into the next and Rambaldi's been around since then as well.


Its a seriously flawed story arc. Nothing real has been revealed. Its all been device this, prophecy that, but no real revealation. You can tell Abrams learned his lesson from this in Lost. Lost has made a point to set up mysteries and reveal them leading to new mysteries and the grand picture. but they still have the sense of revealation.

Bow ties are coool.
