Some things that don't make sense (at least to me)

[KeithF40]

1. The company wanted the VP's brother to be thought of as dead, so they framed Lincoln. But why did it matter that he was in jail or dead. Can't they just say that someone else killed him, but he is dead. That is the only thing that mattered, I guess Lincoln being in jail or dead is better, but it still would work if he wasn't.

2. How does SONA fit into this plot. Assuming that the company wants this fisherman, we'll assume he is that for the time being, did they just have no plan until they found out that Michael was going to be in Panama, how conveinent. Did they then come up with a plan to get Michael into the prison. They said the only needed one of the brothers in SONA, well if Michael is dead then how does that help, Lincoln is not the mastermind. I'm kind of under the impression that they had the SONA plan from a long time ago, but that doesn't really make any sense as they did not know Michael was going to be in Panama until later on.

3. Remember when Whistler is seen talking outside with Susan. I think that was implying that Whistler hired her to break him out. That Whistler is really in charge. That Whistler is part of the company and got put in there but since it's Panama they are not able to be pushed into releasing him without saying who they are, and they want to keep that a secret.

4. I believe Whistler is part of the company. I think Whistler/Susan planned the last ep, ep 11, to where they would try to show that Whistler is really a regular guy. He acts like he is a pawn in this, when I believe he is not. I think the coordinates are all a scam to give a reason as to why the company needs him. They really need him cause he is the company and obviously wants to be a free man. He had to hide out cause he is part of the company, not a criminal type person. He makes up some coordinates, not real, and gives Susan half to try to convince everyone that he is just a fisherman, he is really in the company I believe, any thoughts on all of this.

1. To drill into people's heads that Lincoln really did kill Steadman by trying him, convicting him, sentencing him, go through appeals with him. The objective was to keep in the public eye that Steadman was killed by someone not at all related to his indictment for Ecofield. Cover-up, walaaaa!!!

2. Kim was going to shoot Lincoln and then basically frame Michael for another crime, but as it turned out Michael ended up in Sona because of Sara shooting Kim. Convenient yes, but I don't think it's unintelligible.

3,4. I'm not sold on this, but there are a lot of people that think as you do. Our natural inclination from this show is to expect smoke and mirrors, so I think a lot of people would be even more surprised if he was just a regular joe. As far as I can tell, he seems to really care for Sofia (in that he was with her for a long time), and we don't have any backstory on their relationship for Sofia to have cast any suspicion on Whistler in the past. With your theory, the only thing that makes sense in the light of the last few episodes is that Sofia is in on the act, and I don't think she signed up for cigar burns. OW!!! Plus, there's the whole issue of why he'd do this fisherman song and dance in the first place, it seems that holding the hostages would be enough leverage for the brothers. You are wholly buying into doubts we are all having this season, but the fact is we don't know for sure, we only have what's been aired so far. I think the evidence leans towards him actually being who he says he is: but it's suggestive for me, not conclusive. I think more than a few of us will be surprised with who Whistler really is/what information or necessity he has to the Company.

You also have to remember his father's connection to the company. By framing Linc and threatening his life, it could potentially bring his father out of hiding...and then they could infiltrate the circle of people who have betrayed the Company and are now working against them.

Seriously...... Am I the ONLY one on this whole forum that believes that Whistler is actually... JUST a fisherman??????
Ye lot are going to have a lot of grovelling to do to Smiley... once ye all find out the truth!!!!!!

[lala78]

i think so too , Whisler just act like he's in the company's hands and have no power , but i think it's all an act to get Michael to stop suspect him all the time , and Smliey i think in the end you will be the one that have to apologize to us b/c no way Whisler is just an innocent fisherman.

[helps]

yeah im still in doubt about Whistler...it´s possible that his behavior in last ep was only show for Michael to satisfy him that Whisler is victim too and that he has nothing in common with company...only coordinates

[candyrose]

Even if he were a real fisherman, he certainly isn't innocent....First, he has alluded to being guilty of many things....and he didn't end up in Sona for no reason....he isn't there on vacation....

[smileyone]

Ahh ye of little faith... ye of little faith..... LMAO!!!

Have to go back to work now for a bit...
Chat to you all again later

That's a very good point. A simple fisherman he might be (also I personally don't think so, he definitely has a hidden agenda), but innocent - no way.

[helps]

ok...probably he´s fisherman,but agree with candy he isnt innocent...i know who is,but still....i remeber how he tried kill Michael and lied to Sofia about his rent apartment...next what about his second name Gary Miller...and interesting is the fact that at the beginning company only want get away Whistler from Sona...why would they bother about helicopters and Whistler´s "important" escaoe from Sona if they want only these coordinate...then they only could torture Sofia until Whistler give them coordinates...all about him is weird IMO.
