Sound Off: Hope regains her sight means....

[nikvoodoo]

What does it mean for the story if Hope regains her sight? Does she come back and ID someone that we used to trust? Is it something that comes in to play? Or is it simply a nice thing to do for a character who was blind?

Sound off!

It's possible that she could return and finger Angel, if he was alive, throwing the rest of our world into chaos. However, this is unlikely to happens since the plane is going to crash at the end of the chapter.

I found this information of Hope possibly regaining her sight sort of cheap out (couldn't think of a better word). Simply because in todays society its a difficult, expensive, and dangerous process to operate on ones eyes.

I cannot even imagine such a procedure to be possible in a Zombie infested, war torn, minimalist world that our heroes are living in now.

Well the expense doesn't matter since there's no monetary system anymore. Difficult and dangerous still applies. I know I'm no eye doctor, but I do know there are literally hundreds of ways one can become blind. Some of them can be reversed, others can't. If Hope went blind due to impact, there's the possibility she can be healed.

But if Boulder is a fully functioning haven for humanity, I can see this happening.....

....that wasn't intentional.

Could also be a form of hysterical blindness, which can often be transient.

HAHAHA I'm sorry I just read that the WRONGGGG way

[Osiris]

Oh come on, man! They would all finger Angel if they knew!

I sort of assumed from the beginning that if she could get to a real hospital she might regain her sight. I figured that she'd gotten her corneas damaged in the melee.

I could see her enlisting...I do wonder how much her name will come into play.

[VEE]

I have high hopes for hope

My guess is that her regaining her sight and having any implication at all to the story is pretty slim. It's a story mechanism as its an impetus for Datu having to leave Ft. Irwin, otherwise what excuse does he have for leaving. It's a nice way to wrap up her character with the hope that she can regain her sight and Datu leaving with her reinforces the relationship between them that may be lasting, ie, they bond as family. Datu, with little hope of finding his own kids, and Hope lossing her mother, and Samantha being the shared connection for the two of them, I think makes this most likely.
