How I wish they didn't make Anna as creepy as she is. I mean, it's the style, making the bad guys obvious from the moment we see them but it would've packed such a punch if she didn't give off such crazy vibes. Or perhaps it's just Melissa Gilbert's enthusiasm of acting with her hubby, I don't know. Never liked her, though, so that might affect my take on Anna.

Zero surprise for what John did. And I'm comparing him to Neo on The Matrix.
And I'm sure Justin's recount of the history is correct--from the Shadow's POV. History changes depending on the POV and to them, it's completely accurate and true.

BTW, is there a comprehensive guide of what the Shadows actually are? I tried to look around the Lurker's Guide but I couldn't find anything.
