Actually, the "Man with no name" character is a much older variation in American mythology than the Daniel Boone-type, certainly the 20th century's Disney version of it, of the frontier man who must become savage to defeat savagery, but in the process becoming marked in a way that makes him unfit for the civilization he is sworn to protect. If you get a chance, take a look at Jill LePore's The Name of War, which looks at King Philip's War in New England in the mid 1600s--I think you'd enjoy reading it based on your 24 Narratives.
Thanks for a good season of recaps and analysis. I stopped watching pretty early on (around the time that the brother was killed) for unrelated reasons, but I've enjoyed reading your essays. You seemed to have put a heck of a lot more thought into it than the writers did.
Now, back to some truly awful fanfic which has Jack working together with Harry Potter to discover those horocruxes before they destroy London...
