Still waiting for Season 5 to START here in Australia.

Fucking Channel 7...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You answered the question for me.

Though I'd actually prefer the DVD, but I'd have to wait even longer for that. And I'd probably watch them all too quickly. I want to savour, especially the last season, even if it's on commercial television here.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

As opposed to making him evil just because? All they did was explain his appalling behaviour He's no more "good" than he was at the start, it's just that some people feel sympathy for him now, and he has a reason to repent (his daughter).

I also got tired of the technical expert. You can only play the cute, dumb genius for so long and they really carried it out too far.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, Marshall is getting tiresome.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The full Rambaldi device, and his ultimate "endgame" and the true meaning of the prophecy is not yet revealed. It was apparently the Mueller device cleansing the world through making people violent and killing each other, and as Syd stopped that it was assumed to be her "[rendering] the greatest power unto utter desolation". But as the rest of it hasn't been fulfilled ("only one (Syd or Nadia) will survive" and "she will bring forth my works") it's probably not the big one.

The device at the end of season 2 was Il Dire (The Telling), which told Sloane where to find the Passenger (and various other devices related to her) who, in turn, would be able to find the Sphere of Life which apparently contains Rambaldi's soul/essence. As I haven't yet seen Season 5 (and will NOT be spoiled) I don't know if that's in the mix yet, but considering it was what Sloane's been after since Season 2 at the latest, I'm guessing it has a bigger part to play, and may well be vital to the final "endgame"/Rambaldi revelation.

So, in short, the entire Rambaldi thing is still a mystery. We may as well be at square one.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

They attempted to tie up some loose ends in Season 4 in case the show wasn't picked up again, but really didn't try hard enough as most of the events of the last episode didn't fulfill any of the prophecies, and only raised more questions (apart from the obvious questions such as Vaughn's identity - but spare me as we're not up to Season 5 yet in Australia).

How ya doing, buddy?
