META: Sam, choice and destiny
Oct. 8th, 2008 11:18 amDisclaimer: I'm not sure how coherent this will be, but I want to get it out before the next episode. This is speculation - no future spoilers; canon may or may not answer it.
My question isn't so much what Sam is doing, which I'm assuming the next episode will reveal; I'm more interested in why he is doing whatever it is.
I'm thinking about Sam and choice and destiny. I'm thinking about the fact that in virtually all of the major events in the first three years of the series, Sam has failed to achieve the things he wanted and needed.

Discussion is welcome, but I beg you not to post even tiny spoilers in comments.
