In the absence of an episode this week, we don't have a whole lot to offer here at Orange Peel Mouth. However, in a random LOST convo, I had some thoughts...
Most of you probably don't know that I have a slight obsession with psychics. I've only had my palm read 3 times (with varying results - and I'm still trying to figure out which one of you bitches is talking about me behind my back!) but I've never had a full-on psychic reading (scary!). I'm really disappointed there aren't any real reviews of psychics on yelp.
Oh, LOST, right, right. So, I obviously loved the Claire goes to the psychic story line. I know, sooo season 1. But anyway, ole Richard Malkin, who like any psychic may or may not be a fraud, told Claire that she couldn't give up her baby and then changed her mind and said she MUST be on flight 815, where she would be adoptive parents in L.A.
What I'm curious about is if the psychic knew this was going to happen or if he felt that he could change destiny and make it happen. Why did he have to convince her, if she was destined to be on that flight? So, basically, is Faraday wrong - can you change the future? Maybe you just can't change it from the past?
Or are psychics just bunk?
