the entire concept of scylla (from the odyssey) was that michael would have to sacrifice 8 friends/companions (something like this, could've been 6) to defeat scylla or something. at least that is what I remember.
isnt that what his dad wrote on that little message?
even though your thing of "sacrifice" is what the writers intended. I still dont like it. the whole show paints a portrait of everyone getting out and Linc, LJ, and everyone finally living together as a family. that was what I was I thought they were fighting for. yet they didn't get this, and so I feel as though they failed. yea, they defeated the company, etc, etc, but what they really wanted, to be together with family, never eventuated. thats just how i feel
