Yeah, but like you said, this has been plotted out for ages now. And the idea of the Hellmouth being the source of the balance as the center for mystical convergence, plus the whole cork in the bottle imagery to show how the Hellmouth is being imagined as a cork in the bottle for along time now, then you have the egg which has been around long before Lost really got into gear with the Man in Black and Jacob.
Similarities, aye. But then, did people cry foul when discussing how the final season of Lost mirrored Buffy Season 7? At least there's actually a reason to cry foul then since the Lost creators said they used BtVS as a model for how to write their series. With Buffy Season 8, the cork, the seed, the plot--it's been years in the making.
Anyways, it's not like this crap was interesting when it was done on Lost either. I mean, this stuff is the phlebotinum that gets us to the interesting character interaction, the moral choices and the action. Who cares?
