Of course you all know that 9.2 and 9.3 were both directed by Simon Canton Jones who, in an early interview, said that he didn't really "get" the Maya/John storyline which I thought showed in his direction. For me, it looked like didn't know what to do with it except to make the shots look really pretty and symbolic. I now wonder if he didn't so much side-line it as David Farr and Richard McBrien? Just speculation....

Poor David Farr must have been furious to see his awesome 8.4 script get undermined with all this crazy John/Maya stuff! And even his 7.6 was pretty damn good in the middle of the Sugarhorse storyline.

9.2 and 9.3 both had very little John/Maya, Thank God! One has to wonder if these two writers were also trying to wrap their heads around this crazy monstrosity that is Lucas-Is-John, no wonder I felt like the Lucas/John stuff always seemed rather added in at the end.

I guess if their own writers and crew were confused, it's not shocking why this storyline seemed to have confused itself!
