LaFleur
1 year ago by WillRead more: Lost Episodes, Sawyer, season 5
Craziness – crazy that we are already at the mid-point of Season 5! And even more crazy that I think the questions in my head far outnumber the answers we have left to (hopefully) get over the last season and a half of our favorite show. Enjoy this week’s episode, because I believe we are due for a one week hiatus after “LaFleur” – which in case you were wondering, is French for “Flower”.
ABC’s Official Show Description
Spoiler Alert
“Sawyer perpetuates a lie with some of the other island survivors in order to protect themselves from mistakes of the past.”
The episode preview would suggest that we are going to get the reunion of the Oceanic 6 (or 3) with those originally left behind. So, a few questions to ponder heading into tonight’s episode (and to stimulate some pre-show commentary):
- What is the current time period the Island is now in?
- Why did Ben really kill Locke, given Locke was a nanosecond from committing suicide? Lots of theories out there…
- Presented yet again with the never-ending love triangle that is Jack, Kate, Sawyer; who will Kate ultimately choose?

If the photo of Josh Holloway is any indication that this will be a Sawyer-centric episode, I know there will be some happy female fans this evening!
The title of the episode leads one to think along French lines, but I think we may not want to jump directly into the Rousseau connection. La fleur, in French, is flower, which could relate to The Little Prince who tamed his flower.
One interesting thing that I did consider is that in Tunisia, although Arabic is the official language, French is spoken widely, particularly in schools and the media. From Wikipedia: It is widely used in education (e.g. as the language of instruction in the sciences in secondary school), the press, and in business. Most educated Tunisians are able to speak it. Many Tunisians, particularly those residing in large urban areas, readily mix Tunisian Arabic with French.
I wonder if Charlotte also spoke French? Perhaps Pierre Chang taught her?

GOT IT! I know what the title must mean. Sawyer is French. And we’ll finally find out that what he whispered to Kate before he jumped is:
“L’eau des fleurs de mon retour à la maison.”
(“Water my flowers back home.”)
And THAT’s the favor that ultimately broke up Kate and Jack off the island!
Well… maybe not.
We haven’t head any really funny lines in a few weeks, so at least an Island-centric ep with Sawyer (and Miles, perhaps) is guaranteed to produce some.
Comment 3, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
Though PJ is likely correct on the connection to tonight’s title, I DO want to jump into the Rousseau connection as the ’second’ meaning (as the titles often do). Since LaFleur is also a common French name and I don’t remember getting info the last names of her group, maybe there is a connection?

Good one.:) You my be right in some way. When I first heard the title, I though it was obviously a character’s name. I wasn’t sure if they were going to introduce us to a new character or if it was an alias. Then I thought if it were an alias, it is probably Faraday’s so he can infiltrate Dharma. Then I logged on here and found out who the episode is about ( It’s about time for another Sawyer episode, BTW ).
Comment 5, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
It’s Wednesday! Yay! OK, my take on the title:
In the Little Prince, the book, the Prince needed to return to his world to care for his flower – he had left the flower because it had become tiresome and a bit demanding, and he wanted to see what else was out there. In the end, he realized that he loved the flower, it was special to him, and he desperately needed to return to it. In fact, he needed to die to get there. So, the remaining island LOSTies are the “flower” perhaps? Or the Others? – if Locke is the Prince and needs to return to “his people”. In any case, I think that this episode references the world, and people – collectively – that are left behind when the Little Prince leaves.

Perhaps La Fleur is another station on the island?
Comment 7, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
Still think that LaFleur references “The Little Prince” (Comment 5) but as most LOST title have more than one meaning, I propose that since it is spelled as one word (rather than La fleur for the flower), it is in fact a name, as Hammer, L4E, and LostGrrl have suggested. Maybe it is a name – someone’s name, or alias. If our LOSTies are in the 70’s and have really infiltrated Dharma, they may have come up with alias’s for whatever reason. If the picture above is any indication, then maybe Sawyer is now going by James LaFleur.

In watching the past season over and over like we all do…I still cant figure out the time on the Island compared to the time off….it had been 4 days since locke saw Widmore on the Island…he still has a broken leg…locke then visits everyone..still with a broken leg…ben kills him with a broken leg…so where does 3 years fit in anywhere…I understand that locke didnt see all the losties cronologically but it couldnt have taken place over 3 years because of his cast…then he dies and goes back to the island within say a week….am I wrong or doesnt that mean lockes 4 days on the Island = close to 3 years…
another thought I had is if Ben Killed locke to reinact the first flight…do we know how christian died…was he murdered perhaps?

I like this interpretation, except rather than the whole 06, I’ll bet the “flower” is Sawyer and Kate the little prince. This would fit nice if, as another poster suggests, Sawyer’s Dharma pseudo-name is LaFleur.

Since Ben “jumped” ten months when he turned the FDW, we are guessing that Locke did as well. His “four days” before turning the FDW would have been early 2005. Since the O6′ers are all saying “three years” since they returned, we have to assume that when A316 takes off, it is early 2008. The jury is out on how LONG Locke was talking to the O6′ers, but I think we’re debating whether it was a few days, a few weeks or a few months. I think it is safe to say he was NOT off island for three years.
IF, as we suspect, the RLOSTies ended up in DHARMA years, the 70’s, and have been living in “real time” (where a day actually lasts a day) since the flashes stopped, then we will figure out how long Locke was off-island (eventually). For example, if we learn they’ve been living in DHARMA time for two months, then I think it is likely that Locke spent two months in 2008.
It is definitely possible that Christian was murdered… perhaps even after a suicide attempt. The man WAS in horrific shape emotionally.

‘The three years’ began when the O6 were rescued by Penny and finishes as they’re boarding Flight 316. John Locke’s time difference is completely separate. Locke tells Widmore that he time travelled back to 1954 and met the young Widmore, and that time traveling happened 4 days ago (meaning 4 days before Locke and Widmore are talking in Tunisia). Then Locke spends several weeks traveling to meet/convince the O6 to return to The Island and is shortly thereafter 86ed by Ben.
Also, Christian died of a massive heart attack after a drinking binge while in Australia.

Easy tiger. No one theory is better than any other at this point. That’s the reason we’re (not working and) posting to this blog.
I happen to agree with Skippy, that Locke’s timeline is completely separate from that of the O6 after they left (i.e. what is 4 days to him is 3 years to them).
Comment 25, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
One big question I have about the time discrepancy: how much did the O6ers age relative to the Losties on the island? If 3 years of time passed for the O6ers, and only a few months for the island-bound Losties, would that mean that the O6ers aged more during that time so that, for example if Sawyer and Kate were the same age initially, now Kate is almost 3 years older?
Not that it matters, but just another paradox resulting from the time travel. But I thought the producers said there would be “no time paradoxes”? :)

anyone like the theory that Widmore is the co-pilot of the plane?
Comment 27, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
LaFleur – it should be two words if it’s supposed to mean “the flower.” In addition to “The Little Prince,” it could also be an allusion to TS Eliot’s “Ulysses” (which Ben was reading on the plane) – the protagonist’s last name is Bloom. Doc Jensen’s EW write-up was pretty interesting addressing a link between Bloom and Sawyer.
My thoughts – it had been almost (like months shy of) 3 years for the O6 before Locke even left the island. The island was moving on a completely different time-line than the rest of the world (i.e., back and forth and all over the place) until Locke fixed the wheel. It’s obvious that Jin has been with Dharma for a little bit when the O6′ers show back up, but we’ll all just have to wait until tonight to find out just how long that’s been.
Wouldn’t Faraday’s experiment show that there is some difference b/w time on the island and time off the island, even when the island isn’t skipping? I think that even when we find out how long the crew has been with Dharma, we’re not going to know exactly how long Locke was off-island.

you sound like you are LOST in time…
my guess is that time has gone by 3 years on the island once the flashes stopped. It seems to me that time moves fine when the island is still, but when the island is moving then time gets bunked completely (which ultimately becomes the source for what is “time travel”) …Its already been said that results are unpredictable, but I’d say that there are certain points in time that are connected in some way (guess)…
sep1954–some point in the 70’s—some point in 1988—sep2004—some point in 2007…
all of these points in our real time are the same point in island time, if that makes any sense…

Wheres Vincent!?!?!?!….The part of the story I don’t like is that the losties gave up looking for Vincent after a few flashes. They didn’t put posters up or anything, they just sat on the porch like a goon and waited for a flash. Those Losties gotta think ‘You got a pet. You got a responsibility. If your dog gets lost you don’t look for an hour then call it quits. You get your ass out there and you find that fu@#in dog.

Sounds like you may need more than answers, friend.
A heart attack brought on by binge drinking is an accidental death, not death by “natural causes.” But Mr. $tuart makes a good (and civil) point – there may be more to Christian’s death than the ‘facts’ we were given in ‘White Rabbit.’

But dont you find it funny that a “brain aneurysm” killed her..out of everything they could have picked….isnt that what happens to alot of other people in this show….like…charlotte..is it too much to assume helen has a role in the time travel somewhere…
it just seems kinda silly that this huge player on the Island was just allowed to drink himself to death…granted maybe he had to die because that was hir role…but again..isnt that sort of a form of suicide..christian was murdered..possibly after his attempted suicide (drinking)…JMHO

Agreed. I think the last episode cleared up the bad guy (definitely Ben) from the potential good guy (Widmore). I don’t think we’ve ever seen Ben do anything genuinely selfless, without expecting something in return. (And yet people still give him the benefit of the doubt… aarrrgh!)
Widmore is trying to look after Penny, and (perhaps) the island. But too many more episodes before the end to know for sure.
4 hours and counting…

I defo think it has always happened theory to be correct well except for Desmond.Especially with Abaddon bringing Locke to “where he needed to be” for his walkabout cause Whitmore knew that is the way it had always happened and he probably manipulated the others losties on to that flight also as he knew them from the 70’s on the island and Faraday would have provided all other information as he worked for him in the future to bring it back to the past but wouldn’t Faraday warn him of what is to come so maybe they are in the 80’s or there was not enogh time for Whitmore to change events
Comment 48, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
Or Faraday told Whitmore because this the way things have always happened but because of course correction things cant be changed but Whitmore has always known the future and has been a step ahead and this has how he became so rich once off the island but knows he has to stick to the main blueprint and cant deviate to much sorry rattling on here.

As I’ve posted before, I DON’T think Widmore and Hawking were exiled together, at least not NECESSARILY. Widmore seems to be an outsider off island, and Hawking seems to be the keeper of the Lamp post and an island insider. I see her as more of an “off-island-on-assignment” Dharma/Other.
I DO however, agree that it is likely that Daniel and Penny are related, but maybe more likely cousins, as I agree with those who have said that Eloise and Charles are likely brother and sister.

Are you suggesting that he turn the wheel again – just after he stabilized the violent time shifts? He was dead in the real world… the island(s) brought him back to life. The last time he left the island, the island sent him home in a wheelchair – just the way he arrived. IMO, if the island sends him home again – it’ll be in a coffin… just the way he arrived. Maybe that is how they will end the series in May 2010, Locke makes the ultimate sacrifice – to save everyone else. (Man of Faith)

I imagine for the “casual” viewer, that episode was infuriating. They wouldn’t remember Horace, would have missed the “little Charlotte” reference and get muddled in the three years earlier / later jumps.
For me, though, it was wonderful. I still want to know where Bernard and Rose (and Vincent) are though!
What happened to Olivia? Horace and Olivia were together when Ben was born (or at least we were led to believe that) and appeared to be together when Ben was brought to the island as a boy – which ought to be AROUND this same time period. Ideas?

also the four toed statue was huge so there is no way that it just fell over and even if it did, it wouldnt just disappear, it wouldnt ever just deteriorate so i think someone took it down…but who put it up?

The most important scene in this show is the extremely large statue on the island. This is likely Anubis. Egyptian God of the Afterlife. This is important, because regardless of what people think about Richard’s natural look that he has… he looks Egyptian. The hyroglyphics have been used throughout the show… that statue validates it. Just something to think about… I wouldn’t be surprised if Richard and Jacob are both ancient Egyptian.

LOVE IT!!!
Osiris (Greek language, also Usiris; the Egyptian language name is variously transliterated Asar, Aser, Ausar, Ausir, Wesir, or Ausare) was an Egyptian god, usually called the god of the Afterlife.
Osiris is one of the oldest gods for whom records have been found; one of the oldest known attestations of his name is on the Palermo Stone of around 2500 BC. He was widely worshiped until the suppression of the Egyptian religion during the Christian era.[1][2]The information we have on the myths of Osiris is derived from allusions contained in the Pyramid Texts (ca. 2400 BC), later New Kingdom source documents such as the Shabaka Stone and the Contending of Horus and Seth, and much later, in narrative style from the writings of Greek authors including Plutarch[3] and Diodorus Siculus.[4]
Osiris was not only a merciful judge of the dead in the afterlife, but also the underworld agency that granted all life, including sprouting vegetation and the fertile flooding of the Nile River. The Kings of Egypt were associated with Osiris in death — as Osiris rose from the dead they would, in union with him, inherit eternal life through a process of imitative magic. By the New Kingdom all people, not just pharaohs, were believed to be associated with Osiris at death if they incurred the costs of the assimilation rituals.[5]
Osiris was at times considered the oldest son of the Earth god, Geb,[6] and the sky goddess, Nut as well as being brother and husband of Isis, with Horus being considered his posthumously begotten son.[6]
Osiris was later associated with the name Khenti-Amentiu, which means ‘Foremost of the Westerners’ a reference to his kingship in the land of the dead.

Before he came to the Island, Horace was driving with his wife Olivia 32 miles outside of Portland when he came upon Roger Linus carrying Emily Linus on the side of the road, right after Ben had been prematurely born. He wanted to take Ben’s dying mother to the hospital, but she died before he had the chance to. (“The Man Behind the Curtain”)
————-
Olivia and Horace were involved with the DHARMA Initiative. Olivia worked on the Island as an elementary school teacher. Both Ben and Annie were in a class that she taught.(“The Man Behind the Curtain”) When the Hostiles attacked, Olivia reacted as though it was a not uncommon occurrence, and had a plan for how the students were to lock the doors and take cover. Olivia also matter-of-factly picked up a gun, and showed great proficiency with how she carried it.

SO maybe Olivia wasn’t the same Olivia that was his wife. Does he ever say that? Im gonna look at the transcripts!!

Horace pulls this out of his pocket when he is talking to Sawyer. The Ankh means “eternal life” in egyptian. Couple that with Anubis, Guardian of the Afterlife, and you have an island bread for Pharaoh. They are just basically throwing it in our faces… this thing is chock full of Ancient Egypt.

i think just because richard came into the camp to talk to horace doesn’t mean that the others didn’t have a leader, or that he was their leader…he always seemed to have an authoritative role, even when ben was leading them…
so if the episode ended in 1977, there is a good chance that widmore is still on the island and possibly their leader. since richard looked so clean cut tonight, i’m going to pose the theory that whenever widmore is exiled, the others have to live more primitively than ever before until closer to 15 years later when the purge takes place and they can be in power again…it’s a rough theory, but i’m working on it :)
also, obviously dan had been there before in the 70’s or 80’s to warn charlotte about the island…now he’s back again and he says he won’t warn her…is he just living his life in a loop, keeping him between 1974 and 2005? i know that sounds a little crazy, but maybe? how does that all work? perhaps this is how alpert doesn’t age?

Horace and Olivia – she died during child birth.
Amy and Paul – he died at the hands of Alpert’s aboriginal warriors.
Horace and Amy (years later) – found a relationship in the aftermath. Made a baby.
Horace was a tree-huggin hippy punk. Then he found booze and dynamite. Now he is a kindred soul to Sawyer (and me).

Was olivia sometime after Amy or before? So however the baby is is about 37 years old when losties first arrived. We know that this episode was between 1974-1977. Do we know Ben’s birthdate? I AM NOT SUGGESTING THAT THE BABY IS BEN!!!!!!!!!!! He may have been born (my guess) is about 5-7 years before this putting him in the 32-34 year old range when losties first arrived (about 36-38 when he turned the wheel). Maybe even up to 10 years before. But it at least had to be about the same time frame but I have always viewed him as older than Charlotte who appearred about 3-4 years old when we saw her. The baby has to be someone we have already seen. I will ponder and get back with my guess when I can rationalize who it may be.

That statue has to be Anubis…i dont need to say anything else about the egyptian god you guys already covered it….. lets also remember that our black rock slaves were from egypt so we have an egyptian statue, egyption hieroglyph, and a guy who looks egyptian and legitimately doesnt age. (richard) so putting some pieces together, Juliet said Richard “always been here” so he was probably incharge or helped build our massive statue. Still dont know where the egyptian slaves on the black rock fit into this or the hieroglyphics fit in but im going to guess historical things that happened in egypt may just happen on our island. The plagues? that may be a stretch but we’re on a christian and ancient egypt religious base right now and the plagues is where those two cultures met.

When Sawyer spoke with Guyliner and told him the John Locke story, I automatically assumed that was the reason John got an invitation to go to the Mittlelos Laboratory summer camp. However, according to Lostpedia, Locke was 16 when he got the invite, which means it would have been 1973 at the latest. Could Lostpedia be wrong, and the talk with Sawyer is what prompted Guyliner to pursue Locke once again???

Hey guys.. i got my degree in egyptology and actually just got back from egypt and a lot of the archaeological sites.. thought i’d throw my two cents out there to clarify some confusion
i’d be shocked if that statue was anubis because from this angle it’s not an accurate depiction of him at all.. i would tend to fall in line with the sekhmet theory posed earlier if just looking at the head but the problem is sekhmet is almost always depicted sitting down and with an ankle long skirt rather than the knee high skirt that only males wear and that our statue is wearing.. and the majority of the time she has the solar disk on her head rather than the flat crown but she has been depicted like that before..
sekhmet is the lioness goddess of memphis, capitol of the old kingdom when the giza pyramids were built.. she was thought to serve as protector for the gods so that would fall in line with the Others/indigenous inhabitants desires to keep all other people off the island.. so its possible that statue was built to ward people away
anubis on the other hand is the jackal headed god who was responsible for taking people to the underworld.. rather than the god of the underworld as some have incorrectly surmised.. that would be osiris.. who is definitely not the model for the statue.. not only did anubis lead the dead across to the underworld but he was also responsible for embalming their organs in canopic jars and mummifying them.. if the rituals of anubis were not allowed to occur, the dead would be destined to roam the world as an ethereal spirit and never achieve peace.. this could relate to the minor revelation about the dead having to be buried in today’s episode.. or also to our chronic island=purgatory theories
someone also posed a horus possibility.. based on the angle we got its highly unlikely.. however there probably is a strong correlation to goodspeed.. he is the leader of dharma and throughout ancient egyptian history horus is synonymous with each pharoah in power.. horus was thought to be the first official pharaoh of egypt who united upper and lower egypt according to the mythos.. the actual first pharaoh was narmer or menes (not determined as of yet whether they actually are one and the same king) and he actually did unite the two halves of egypt.. so after narmer each king was thought to be the current earthly manifestation of horus.. mandated by him to be in power.. so steles and temple art depict horus granting power to each king.. like an inauguration of sorts.. in this sense his mythos makes sense but not for the statue
one last thing before i stop this long post.. someone already said it but ill confirm that ankh is depicted in the hands of nearly every ancient egyptian god or goddess.. especially as you get into the middle and new kingdoms.. all temple art shows ankh in the right hand of the gods.. ankh is primarily depicted in the embalming/mummifying chambers dedicated to anubis.. not only is it in his hand but all throughout the art and hieroglyphs.. it represents not only eternal life but a rebirth
fabulous episode!!

Since Dan’s mom *g* didn’t help Dan save Char and now he’s going to possibly make a concious effort NOT to ‘tell her’. Can he successfully change what happened? Can he save her? Or is it futile?

Thanks for your expertise Halliwax.
I think they purposely made the statue a varition of one of the Gods to be purposely vague…but the parts of your post I quoted above, IN MY MIND, help to support that IF they intended for the statue to be a varition of Anubis, then it supports my whisperers theory (I think they are looking for help to stop ‘wandering’ and are ’stuck’).

Oh, and IF Jacob is supposed to be represented by this statue and variation of Anubis…maybe his request for ‘help’ is that he is currently being stopped from performing his ritual to let the dead folks ‘carry on’.???

You may be onto something with the Jacob thing Hammer.. I wonder about the powder around the cabin too and how that relates.. my only thing with that theory is that rather than Jacob being a representation of anubis.. he may just be an ethereal representation of someone we already know at some point in time on the island that needs ‘help’ because they’re stuck in that form and not being allowed to reach the next plane as assisted by whomever is playing the ‘anubis’ role on the island

Comment 229, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
Locke (and Ben) are in the actual present, 2008. The time flashes stopped as soon as Locke turned the wheel. Flight 316 lands at the Hydra station in real time, 2008. Jack, Kate, and Hurley we know end up in 1977, apparently having “flashed” out of the plane, reunited with Sawyer, Jin, and Juliet. The earlier theory of Jack/Kate/Hurley ending up in 1977 because they are supposed to be on the same timeline as the other Losties does make sense…it’s been three (or so) actual years for all of them. It’s interesting that we haven’t seen Sun or Sayid yet in 1977, and I don’t believe we’ve seen Miles or Faraday in 1977 either.
I don’t know if anybody has brought this up, but it seems to me that Faraday’s theory is not correct. He says that you can’t change the past. But, have they not done just that in this episode? Without Sawyer and Juliet’s intervention, Amy would have died. Thus, Amy wasn’t supposed to end up with Horace, and their child wouldn’t have even been born had Sawyer and Juliet’s intervention not taken place. For that matter, Amy wouldn’t have even delivered the child successfully without Juliet. So it seems like the Losties are, indeed, altering things. Unless this is how it all REALLY HAPPENED? I suppose that’s possible. That would have to mean that the 1977 Losties must get back to real-time somehow, because they do, after all, get to the Island and are the same physical age in 2004 when they take the original Oceanic flight.
I love the theory of children that may be born in the 70’s could be people we have come to know as adults from 2004-2008. Could Amy’s son be somebody we know? Will Kate’s baby, like I theorized last week? If Juliet is pregnant, maybe her too?
What a great show this is. It’s as compelling as ever this season.
Comment 230, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
Newbie here so please forgive me in advance. First of all, I turned down this pilot and really wished I wouldn’t have!!! But, I had a sick cat and didn’t want to travel to Hawaii with her because there was an animal quarantine, etc.
Anyway, just a few questions and I’m hoping you “Losties” can help me out because to be quite honest-it would take me FOREVER to scroll through all the comments this season and past seasons. And my brain is about to explode after tonight’s episode. So many questions and so few answers. I’m posting here tonight because I’m pretty bummed we have to wait 2 weeks-haven’t we done enough waiting??? ok, moving on….
1) I am almost positive the baby in the Season 5 opener was Charlotte. It explains why she knows how to speak Korean. Does anyone else agree? My friends seem to think the baby is Miles but the baby looked caucasian to me. And tonight, Daniel looked up and saw a very young red-haired girl and said “Charlotte” She was with a darker skinned woman and speaking Korean.
2) I have met Michael Emerson (super nice guy, talked about LOST but not details of the show, more about the crew) and he almost always plays a bad guy. But I’m thinking he might not be on this show. I’m beginning to wonder how important his character is. He is beginning to seem like a pawn to possibly Ms. Hawking? Thoughts?
3) I think there is so much more to Faraday then we’ve seen to date-although my husband thinks he’s not that crucial. He is Hawking’s son but do we know who his father is?
4) DESMOND-one of my favorite characters-seems to be crucial. Although I’m not sure how. Anyone have suggestions here? On a personal note: if Ben kills Penny-I might have to stop watching the show!!
5) JACOB-I could go on and on here. I still don’t “get” the smoke monster (a security system for the temple?), the temple, the cabin moving, etc. Maybe I’m crazy or LOST—but it seems whoever/whatever Jacob is— he takes the form of the dead on the island (Christian Shepard) and I don’t know why! Or am I way off base here? Does anyone know or will I have to wait until the Season Finale??
6) LOCKE- ok, I assumed he would come back as Jacob but no….and what’s with the new group from the plane that landed with Ben, Locke, etc? Did Ben or Widmore place this group of new people on the plane? Walt mentioned to Locke that he had a dream and there would be people who wanted to kill him or something like that and I assume it’s these people.
7) Richard Albert- so dude has been there FOREVER but I still don’t understand the importance of his character although I assume he will be quite important when it’s all said and done.
8) Do we know who Adam and Eve are?
anyway, I love the show. the time travel elements. and of course it was nice seeing Sawyer being, um, nice tonight! Of course I knew at the end of Season 4 he and Juliette would end up together so tonight was no big surprise. Thanks in advance and looking forward to some answers!!!!!

I still think Kate and Sawyer are going to end up together. I always thought that, even when Kate had feelings for Jack. Kate and Sawyer are like kindred spirits in the passion department! Juliet could be a “replacement” for Kate, since he never thought he’d see Kate again. It may not be for a while that he ends up with Kate but that is ultimately what I believe will happen.

We know that Charlotte leaves the island, and we know her records say that she was born in 1979… it was already guessed on this blog that she may have not been born in ‘79, which has turned out to be true, So I would assume that the only way for her to get off of the island would have been from the wheel… since she has to lie about what year she was born, by about eight years…(it was 1974 right?)
ALSO, if its 1974/77 theres no Ben yet right? Didn’t he come in like 1982ish?

[sarcasm on] Ben wrong!? As in, maybe, just maybe, Ben was lying!!!?? No, it can’t be!! [/sarcasm off]
I never fully believed what Ben said about Charlotte last season. And being that Ben seems to know everything about everyone, it stands to reason that in 2004/2005, Ben knew exactly who Charlotte was, knew that she was born on the island and at some point left the island. As a youngster on the island, Ben may have even known the young Charlotte. But for whatever reason he felt like he had to hide the information about her being born on the island so he made up the other info.

Why couldn’t Charlotte have left on the sub? IMHO, Ben was lying when he said she was born in 1979. If she was born in 1979, then when we first saw her in season 4, she would have been about 25 years old, which I don’t think was the case. If she was 3 or so in 1974, then she was 33 or so in 2004, which seems about right.
I think Ben arrived on the island at about the same timeframe we’re seing in the episode (74-77). Per Lostpedia, he was born in the early 60’s, so in 2004 he’s about 40 years old which sounds accurate. We dont’ know exactly how old he was when he arrived on the island, but it seemed to be before he hit puberty, so, he was 10-12 yrs old. Doing the math indicates he arrived at the island in the early to mid 70’s. Also, if TPTB decide to use the same actor to portray young Ben, that kid will have aged a couple years, so the storyline will have to indicate that Ben has been on the island for a couple years.

Also, now that I think about it Charlottes age would seem to be about accurate at 33… but I could still see her having a false profile, designed to keep her Island past a secret… tho Ben could easily know that too… so
Still see Daniel gettin at that wheel tho

BTW the more I think about Horace its giving me some chills… Remember how Ben pays special attention to close his eyes after the purge? is that somehow connected to burying the bodies… and is burying/not burying bodies the reason for the mass open grave? and Lost Addict, I think you are onto something with him and Amy being a time alteration… does this mean Bens history has changed? Maybe this is how he gets back to the island…

The Sawyer, Jack, etc that we’re seeing in 1977 are not destined to board OA815 on Sept 22, 2004, because they’ve already done so.

Comment 245, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
So to me, only the Losties will leave the island by the turning of the FDW in order to get back to their present day. Charlotte will leave by submarine. She certainly will not turn the wheel as a little girl, winding up in the middle of the desert with only her wits to survive. Who would turn it? Widmore is my guess, as he is tricked by a young Ben (that’s why he refers to him as a boy). How does Ben know that the wheel must be turned? Maybe Daniel tells him?
Halliwax, I love,love, love the info you provided. Thanks for the clarification.
I agree that the conversation with Sawyer sparks Alpert to seek out Locke as a teen. Lostpedia is probably off with their dates, as remember last time Alpert saw Locke, he leaves in a huff. Sawyer then changes his mind because he brings up Locke yet again. This re-energizes Alpert.
Maybe the dust around the cabin is remnants of the statue? SRTR4K.
It seemed to me from the earlier scene with Daniel, that he may be the one that puts into motion the idea of freezing the donkey wheel.
Perhaps Olivia is killed in one of the incidents or battles between the hostiles and Dharma.
I was thinking all along that when Alpert visits Ben as a child, it is from a time jump and not necessarily from not aging, but I’m not so sure anymore, as I don’t think it would be solely Alpert that is not aging, he’s the only one we’ve seen, but wouldn’t it also include his whole group?
I am also thinking the comment by the psychiatrist, “you look just like her” actually refers to Juliette.

Comment 256, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
The Ankh is defined as: The symbolic representation of both Physical and Eternal life. It is known as the original cross, which is a powerful symbol that was first created by Africans in Ancient Egypt.
The Ankh is commonly known to mean life in the language of Ancient Kemet (land of the Blacks) renamed Egypt by the Greeks. It is also a symbol for the power to give and sustain life, the Ankh is typically associated with material things such as water (which was believed by Egyptians to regenerate life), air, sun, as well as with the Gods, who are frequently pictured carrying an Ankh. The Egyptian king is often associated with the Ankh also, either in possession of an Ankh (providing life to his people) or being given an Ankh (or stream of Ankhs) by the Gods. This can be seen in the picture of King Senworsert below who is holding two Ankhs to his chest. There are numerous examples that have been found that were made from metal, clay and wood. It is usually worn as an amulet to extent the life of living and placed on the mummy to energize the resurrected spirit. The Gods and the Kings are often shown carrying the Ankh to distinguish them from mere mortals. The Ankh symbolized eternal life and bestowed immortality on anyone who possessed it. It is believed that life energy emanating from the Ankh can be absorbed by anyone within a certain proximity. An Ankh serves as an antenna or conduit for the divine power of life that permeates the universe. The amulet is a powerful talisman that provides the wearer with protection from the evil forces of decay and degeneration.
The loop of the Ankh is held by the Gods. It is associated with Aset (Isis) and Asar (Osiris) in the Early Dynastic Period. The Loop of the Ankh also represent the feminine discipline or the (Womb), while the elongated section represent the masculine discipline or the (Penis). These two sacred units then come together and form life. Because of its powerful appeal, the Ankh was used in various religious and cultural rituals involving royalty. In the Treasures of Tutankhumun, the Ankh was a major artifact found in the tomb. The circle symbolizes eternal life and the cross below it represents the material plane. The Ankh is called the “Crux Ansata,” it is of Egyptian origin and can be traced to the Early Dynastic Period, appearing frequently in artwork of various material and in relief, depicting the Gods.
It is usually held to the nose of the deceased king by the Gods to represent the breath of life given in the after-world. The Ankh also resembles a key and is considered the key to eternal life after death. Its influence was felt in every dynastic period and survives as an icon possessing mystical power throughout the Coptic Christian era. The Ankh possessed by each God had power associated with that God. The Ankh of the God Anubis (shown in the picture to the right) is related to the protection of the dead, that of Sekhmet, War, Hapi related to the living waters of the Nile and Amen, the spirit God, the breath of life.

Now I want to think that Locke is the person that gets Alpert to “invest” in Ben, perhaps accidentally.

After being on the phone until 3 in the morning and looking up every god or goddess I could find I have another thought on the statue. SOmeone said how do we know this statue has 4 toes which also brings up, how do we know it’s the only statue? There may be MORE of these statues, not so likely, but if we go with Sekhmet then another statue can stand somewhere whom is said to have been her twin or sister, Bst. Together,they represent the balance of Good and Evil.
….Another aspect of Bast is her twin sister, Sekhmet. Sekhmet is also a goddess, depicted as a woman with the head of a lioness. She represents the negative, darker side of the goddess. As the lioness goddess, Sekhmet symbolizes the destructive forces in Nature and in human nature, while Bast is everything pure and good and life-giving. Together, the sister goddesses make up a whole – the balance of good and evil.(quoted)
In many of their statues they can be similar to the statue. (What they are holding, crown on head, little ears.)
I said Astarte ONLY because of ancient Carthage, me thinking this statue was not built there but got their thru a vortex.
Also, about this statue, I am not completely sure about looking far too much into. (COming to the girl who was researching all night.) Writers have a kind of shocking…WTF? thing going on. They can’t be building this up so we say, oh it’s anubis or Bastet, or Horus, or anyone that many are spending time looking into. I have a pretty good feeling that when we see that statue we are going to say WTF? Gotta be someone we have seen already.
I wish I could just let this go. What a TEASE!! I want to KNOW!!!! Now they are stuck in the 70s. My biggest fear is we will NEVER know!!

I think we need to go back farther than Egypt to get to the origins of the island.
I propose than the island is none other than the LOST island of ATLANTIS. Atlantean culture supposedly influenced many ancient cultures. So Atlantis didn’t sink–it’s lost because we can’t find it because it keeps moving around in space and time.

wandering now how many of the others would have know about the losties when they got to the island, the possibilties are endless now because the writers have summed this up to a tee so far absolutley perfect, one of our losties is going to be Jacob starting to think that it will Locke, two of our Losties will be adam and eve starting to think maybe it will be Rose and Bernard, that s why we won t see them for a while or have seen them for a while think they might wrap up their story on the island because we know their is no way that they will leave, i think there will be a game changer that everything so far was under false pretenses, the whole O6 thing ended too quickly why bother sended them back only to bring them back to the island in the space of lets face it 10 episodes of non flashforward material, i think it is very possible that they may all yet get off the island apart from a few who will die and the lostie that is Jacob (could be Jack, who has the closed name to Jacob?)

Yep, but I was suggesting it as a relatively strong, alternate theory. Harper, probably does refer to his mother, except that we’ve seen his mother when her “apparition” visits him, and to me they did not look alike, though there was a portrait that did resemble Juliette.
Reason why I suggested it is because if Ben develops a crush on her for whatever reason, bringing her back to the island would strenghten his belief that she was ‘his.’ Harper seems at least 5 years younger than Ben, if not more, so her memory would be more fuzzy than Ben’s.
I don’t remember the exact comment Harper made, but if she said, “Ben says you remind him of her,” Ben could easily be lying. If she just matter-of-factly made the statement to Juliette, I don’t see a particularly huge leap in the theory because her memory of Juliette would be hazy in comparison.

i spent too much time lastnight sweating horace’s connections with olivia and amy.
then i realized: we have NO PROOF that horace and olivia were married. just because LOSTpedia, a fan-created site, says her last name is goodspeed is NOT enough proof for me.
1. we saw her in the car with horace on the day of ben’s birth.
2. she was ben’s teacher.
none of this necessarily means that she was ever married to horace…unless i’ve missed something somewhere.
if they HAD been married, then he would’ve had the “is 3 years really enough time” conversation BEFORE MARRYING AMY.
i do wonder if there’s a tweenaged ben running around.
and it seems the new baby boy would have to be someone daniel’s age [approx.]…other than daniel, i don’t really have any ideas. my friends guessed ethan, but i think he might be a little too old. it’s someone 3 years younger than charlotte.
part of me wonders if it’s chang’s baby we heard crying in the video…they never SHOWED the baby, so we don’t know that it’s biologically theirs. i wouldn’t put it past amy to freak out and do something that would wind up putting the baby in someone else’s custody.

I disagree that we can dismiss the Miles/Candle connection. What was the order of the nose bleeds? Was Miles 2nd? If you are suggesting that the flash which puts Miles & the Losties back to the 70’s shows that Miles had been on the island b4 and did not know it, then that would mean all of the Losties (flashing) had been on the island before and did not know it. So because they all flashed together, they should have (in theory) simultaneously began getting nose bleeds.
Charlotte was the first to get the nose bleeds, and she had been on the island for a longer time, which seemed to be the lint that drove the nose bleeds.

Not saying that he definitley isn’t Candle’s kid just saying that doesnt necesarily have to be the case it is highly co incidental that Miles has now been on the island three times in his life and yes through this new dharma revelation and now that Jack and Kate and Hurley are back in the 70s, when the plane crashed it was the second time the losties have been on the island daniel said time is a string and events cannot be changed whatever happened happened

Though I am not totally convinced either way on who Miles is, I lean toward him being Candle’s kid. Mostly because since they haven’t redshirted him yet, he has a place in this story, likely more significant than just the guy that hears dead people that HAPPENED to get recruited to go to the island. IMO.

Juliet certainly does get around. She was an other, a lostie, and now part of the DI. The only character to do all three, correct?
Also, I find it interesting how much Sawyer has changed since he came to the island. First a rogue who blackmailed people and hoarded basic needs, like medicine. Now much more heroic, leader, a shepherd. (Like Jack, but not as whiny.)

Statue – My husband said, without hesitation, when I freeze framed the statue, “It’s Juliet”. For one thing, check out that booty.
Juliet and Sawywer seemed pleasant together but probably more of love born out of necessity/proximity than anything else. I don’t like him with Kate, but I’m afraid it will come back to that. I agree with what someone said earlier about it looking like she might be pregnant in that kitchen scene, but kind of unlikely with her crawling around under cars and such. Looks like the babies/kids may come back into play after all.

The statue – Man, I wish we’d have gotten just a few more seconds to look at it! It did look Egyptian, with jives with Alpert’s heritage and all the hieroglyphics around the island. When I read the Isis and Osiris references above – the first thing I thought of was the Wizard of Oz. Professor Marvel mentions them. Along with all of the other Oz references throughout the shows history, I found that to be interesting.
Also with the statue, we know that in the future most of it is gone – so what happened. Miles mentioned feeling an earthquake with the last flash they had. We also know that there is a volcano on the island (as the Dharma teacher taught about). Is this active? Could and eruption have caused it to take a tumble?
I think Juliet and Sawyers meddling with the affairs of Amy and Paul have somewhat changed the course of the 70s happenings. Maybe Amy gives birth to the baby that was to be had by Olivia. I thought for sure it was going to be Charlotte, but was clearly mistaken. I’d love for it to be somebody we’ve already met – a lostie or an other like Charlie, Desmond, Goodwin, Ethan, etc. I don’t believe we know about their parents.
Bodies – What gives with the importance of burying bodies. We know that the purge victims weren’t buried. We know that Amy insisted that the others be buried. We know that Keamy insisted that Carl and Rousseau be buried. And we know that Charlotte disappeared when she was dead above ground. But what conclusion can we draw from that???
The Sawyer/Alpert conversation – so the Jughead scene has already taken place, eh? So Widmore either was or still is on the island because he and Ellie were there for the Jughead camp scenes. Is he currently the leader of the others? And what are the implications of this odd truce? Clearly the sonic fence is only for the smoke monster if Alpert can walk right through it!
We see the good ‘ol sub. Poor Juliet has been scheduled to vacate the island twice on this thing! Does it not return after the 2-week stint on the main land, or does everyone get cozy on the island?
Timeline – I’m confused with where Ben is, how old he is, how old Charlotte is, etc. Anyone else nervous that gas bombs were going to come flying into the barracks when the alarms were sounding. I LOVED the comment about them roughing up Ben from above. That was hilarious! I’m sure they’ve all figured out by now that Ben was NOT born on the island. Do they all know of the purge? I can’t recall who was privy to that information.
Lastly, it was nice to see Sawyer and Juliet happy – but I don’t like them together. I’d like to see a switcheroo of Jack and Juliet and Sawyer and Kate – but I feel that it will be much, much more complicated than that!
Seriously last thing – the dynamite that Horrace had – didn’t it look like it was from the Black Rock – and he told Sawyer that he wasn’t familiar with the Black Rock….
Thanks for all the great comments – I enjoy reading all your thoughts!
PS – Something interesting from Wikipedia: Being simultaneously alive and dead, Osiris became the god and king of the afterlife. As a life-death-rebirth deity, Horus/Osiris became a reflection of people’s desires for a successful afterlife. The legend’s ventures into both life and afterlife meant that religious rites associated with the legend eventually began to take on aspects of a mystery religion, where initiates were said to be able to partake in Horus/Osiris’ resurrection, purging themselves of past ills, and entering a new life.

I think that Horace may have built a Cabin or more likely was planning to before he died, but not Jacobs cabin, the cabin is similar to Jacob it is not physical it moves and changes and only appears to particular people at particular times. Horace doesn’t really have a relationship to Jacob, he was dead when he mentioned the cabin, all characters when they die seem to have a far more deepened and mysterious knowledge of the island than when they were alive and they always seem to help alive people to get to where they need to be, i don’t think we really need to take Horace building the Cabin any further than a vision that the island gave Locke so he could find the Cabin and speak to Christian.

Comment 313, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
I am wondering whether Sawyer and Juliet somehow did change history when they killed the two islanders and saved Amy. I assume that without their intervention, Amy would have died, would have never married Horace, and this new baby, identity unknown, would not have been born.
If Olivia was Horace’s wife, is it possible that this intervention somehow prevented him from getting with Olivia, and created a new timeline? We know that certain characters have failed in attempting to change the past, but maybe this is not an absolute on the show?
If this is true, could this affect Ben somehow? If he came to the island between 74 and 77, now maybe he didn’t?
It would be interesting to know Ben’s timeline better. Did he come before 74, after 77, or between 74 and 77?

Could the “Richard” we saw last night been him from another time, a time before the crash in 04, but from the future point of 1974? We saw him come to the aid of John, in a previous episode this season, as if he “sent himself” there to heal and talk to him.

Time travel concepts are always confusing. But, I think what we have to accept is that, the stuff we’re seeing now has already happened. The things they’re doing aren’t changing anything because they already happened that way before (we, the audience, just didn’t know it).
When Daniel says “I’m not going to do it” he is thinking he can change the future by not telling Charlotte she’s going to die. Chances are, he will still tell her. Not because he knows he already did but because of his passion for Charlotte.
The only one I’m not sure about w/the whole time travel thing is Desmond. Daniel said the rules don’t apply to Desmond (maybe because of the hatch explosion).

***** THIS TAKEN FROM DOCARTZ LOST BLOG*******
Remember last episode when Hurley was painting an Egyptian scene? In the season 4 premiere Hurley was seen painting Eskimos, which naturally put forth the idea that Hurley was somehow psychically aware of how Penny had found the island. Has Hurley demonstrated his psychic painting skills – ala Isaac Mendez – yet again? Could be. We got our first full body look at the four-toed-statue, and he certainly looks like he could have been featured in Hurley’s water color.
There is little doubt amongst the LOST sleuthing community that old-four-toes is in fact Anubis, the Greek name for the Egyptian god of the dead. Anubis acts as escort for the dearly departed on their way to the afterlife. Those of you still clinging to the purgatory theory should love that.
To add a little heavy handed punctuation to the matter, LOST’s evil Easter egg planters gave Amy an Ankh to hang onto. Ankhs are the symbol for eternal life in the Egyptian symbol language – and Mr. Anubis is grasping two very large ones.
Now as to the over-all significance of this: if this is indeed Mr. Anubis, is the island a chunk of Egypt that was somehow dislodged and set adrift? Probably not. Mr. Anubis, given the nature of our special island, is set strategically over-looking the water as if he is the island’s greeter announcing loudly and proudly “Welcome, we have plenty of eternal life for everyone.” It seems to me that the construction of this monument was part of a colonization effort of an epic scale.

we know from the comic con video that chang is about to be visited by folks who tell him bush is president and that the purge will happen. and since many of us assume that it’s daniel’s voice filming the video, that scratches him from the possibility of being the baby boy.

As far as Amy wanting to bury the bodies, in that particular instance it was to prevent Richard Alpert’s people from finding them, nothing too special in my opinion.
Also I agree that Richard needed the body to show that they got the person who killed their men.
I also agree that the statue is thousands of years old and is not purposefully an image of one of our Losties, but I guess I could accept that fact if it turned out to be true (though I strongly feel it is supposed to be one of the Egyptian gods…especially because of the animal ears).

Several people have asked about Bernard and Rose (and Vincent). If you are looking for ACTUAL answers, the viewers have not been SHOWN those answers.
If you are looking for THEORIES, then I agree that they have been flashing along with the RLOSTies and we will see them integrated into the 70’s with Sawyer et al. They will be the “rest of the crew” that Sawyer told Horace about.
In a recent podcast, D&C confirmed that R&B are indeed alive. I believe that their characters, while not necessarily crucial, are significant enough to warrant a death scene should it come to that.

Yes! This is driving me nuts too! It doesn’t seem possible that John was off the island for close to three years…he even seemed surprised when he learned that the Oceanic 6 had been back for three years. Could it have something to do with turning the wheel? When he reappeared in Tunisian, could close to three years have passed in the transition? Also, why was he able to walk at all (limp) once off the island? Wouldn’t he revert to needing a wheelchair full time? I hope the producers don’t screw us over by leaving all these mysteries!!

i feel that way because richard’s peeps wanted amy; they had the bag on her head and were gonna take her. they didn’t care about paul.
while this was 3 years before the baby’s birth, i think they knew there was something special about her.
Comment 350, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
Ben took Alex a week after she was born in 1988 or early 1989 depending on what time of year ROus landed on the island. The purge did not occur until 1992 based on Horace’s statement of being dead for 12 years to Locke last year in Cabin Fever, I believe. So, who cared for her from 1988 until 1992? Ben couldn’t have showed up to his dad’s house with a baby. Did the hostiles/others care for her during this time? Maybe not the appropriate place for this questions but I was just lying awake last night trying to figure out the timeline and make the story make sense in my mind. Any insight would be appreciated.

Well I can’t take credit for this but my lil friend thinks that the Polar Bear that winds up in Tunisia will be the cause of the turning of the wheel so that the Losties return to the present.
Maybe it will be a scene where Ben tricks Widmore into a cave and Widmore suddenly finds himself being chase by the bear, who has no choice but to turn the wheel, and then the bear, not to be outdone, turns the wheel to try to catch him but is foiled because he flashes to a different time (just kidding).

Comment 364, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
Just a couple of observations – I don’t think that you have to actually turn the donkey wheel to time travel. Remember the time travelling bunnies? Maybe there is a different way to harness the special energy. Also, when you are transported, you don’t land in the same time you left. Ben landed 9 months later. Locke landed 3 years later. That means that Charlotte didn’t have to turn the wheel to leave and she might not have landed in 1977 or whatever year she left. Which may be why her birthdate was 1979 instead of 1971 (to correspond with the several years she lost whilst travelling through time off the island).
And, am I the only one who thinks they aren’t changing the time line – these things already happened?

Thanks, Jaime, I appreciate your help. However, for this particular item, I would prefer a source OUTSIDE of LOSTpedia. As already discussed, it is a FAN site and as such, prone to the kinds of errors we’ve already seen with this character. Until yesterday, Olivia was listed as Horace’s wife on LP. So as far as I am concerned, LP quoting ABC’s website is just careful back-pedaling.
ABC’s website doesn’t have anything listed about any of the tertiary, or even secondary characters, so I am not sure where LP got that anyway.

Finally caught up. Some questions and some thoughts and theorys.
Sawyer refers to Horrace as their boss, so where is Chang?
Why didn’t Miles ask the dead guys what happened and why?
Still on Miles, while he and Juliette, Jin and Daniel were sitting at the picnic table at night Miles asks Juliette what she is staring at. She comments that she lived there for three years, etc. Miles says welcome home. He had been held prisenor there in 2004.
Was Juliette perhaps staring at Ben????
For those who say saving Amy changed things and prevented Horrace from marrying and perhaps having a child with Olivia. Whether they were married or brother and sister Horrice and Olivia were in Oregon in the EARLY 60’s when Ben was born. It is now 1974. Ben, and Roger, should either be on the island or about to arrive. I can’t wait to see Sawyer and Roger sitting and having a beer.
At this point Jin is the only one we know to be born in 1974.
Charlotte said she thought it might have been Daniel who told her never to return. Could it have been Sawyer?
Could Daniel be Jacob???

To Hammer, Shellonius and others who suggest that Juliet changed history by delivering the breech baby – many breech babies were and are delivered without medical intervention. If the baby was destined to be born, he would have been born without Juliet’s assistance. The bigger interference is with Amy being saved by the Losties – but again, if history corrects itself I’d think that the bag was over her head to keep her from seeing where they were taking her, and they may have released her later. They wouldn’t bother covering her head if they were going to kill her any way. Once released she’d marry and have the baby as she was meant to.

I have read all the comments and I know noone mentioned this:
Sawyer -excuse me – LaFleur has always been a con man. But when it comes time to con Alpert into not inflicting any damage on the Dharma-ites, he resorts to telling the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. And it worked! I thought that was a neat little twist, and goes along with the other comments here about him being a different type of person in this episode.
Comment 398, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
I think we may be on to something with the burying part. A nice subtle little thing for the writers to plug in once or twice a year and them hit us hard in Season 5 or 6.
I’m torn on Taweret or Anubis. I can see both, which is probably intentional from the writers too. It’s the only way they can show us the statue without actually show us the statue, if you follow my ambiguity.

I really feel like the next episode (called Namaste) is going to pick up where we left off this week. I think we will see Ben at twelve or thirteen, and possibly Annie again.

My theory. Tunnels. Alpert gets into the Barracks because of tunnel access. The Well is filled in because it tapped into a tunnel. Ben had a tunnel to summon Smokey to chase off the mercenaries. Smokey tried to drag Locke, and did drag Montand, into a tunnel. We have seen various blueprints indicating extensive tunnel systems. Jughead may be in one. Harper Stanhope, there, then not there. Others, popping-up, in force, in the middle of nowhere to point rifles at the Losties when they first started really exploring the various stations.

They are both orphans, they were both after the same con man and, correct me if I’m wrong, but they sure seemed to be highligting a much more peaceful, serene Swayer, crowsfeet and all, in last night’s episodes. I couldn’t help but notice the facial similarities.
I know you are all much more into the dicsection of Lost, but I like it too, so be kind :)

So, it sounds like the consensus is that Ben & Locke are on the other island in real time (i.e. 2007/2008) does this mean that, assuming Sun went off w/the pilot in the boat, that Sun and Jin won’t ever be reunited? Thoughts…

Well, IF Sun and Frank are together in the dugout boat, I want to know why they didn’t flash with the rest of the group that left on the copter. I thought they were a group that had to come back together. IF they came back to the same time as Jack et al, then I am still confused on why they didn’t flash out of the plane.
Regardless of what time Sun is…I feel that they will be reunited. Whether time travel is required or not, I think it will happen.

Comment 444, posted 1 year ago - Quote and reply
I read a few posts up there that believe the 4TS is the goddess Tawaret.. in my humble opinion I think it’s highly unlikely for the following reasons..
- Tawaret was depicted with the head and body of a hippo, back of a crocodile, upper and lower extremities of a lion (aka paws).. our 4TS possesses none of these as far as we can tell.. and the knee high skirt worn by the statue is only worn by males.. females have ankle long skirts.. and Tawaret specifically wore no clothing at all other than the flat crown
- the visible right hand at this angle displays phalanges with distal and proximal flexibility like a human or related species as they are curved around the loop of what looks like ankh.. Tawaret, on the other hand (no pun intended), has her rather stiff paw resting at a 90 degree angle facing forward on the sign of protection, or Saa, which is shaped similar to ankh with the loop at the top but more of a two pronged bottom serving as a walker type device.. in addition the four toes themselves look rather humanoid rather than resembling the paw of a feline
- also this statue does not possess the back of the crocodile, although it is true that Tawaret was only occasionally shown as such.. the reason for this depiction was that Tawaret was thought to be married to the crocodile god Sobek who was worshipped in the city of Kom Ombo in upper egypt so she absorbed some of his physical qualities in reliefs and statues created in the region surrounding Kom Ombo such as Luxor or Aswan, but not in lower egypt which is where the Giza pyramids and sphinx are located and where our primary interests most likely lie regarding the Lost-Egypt mythos
- regarding the head and body of a hippo.. we can’t tell from this angle but we can surmise based on the overall observable waist circumference and girth.. tawaret has tremendous girth as a goddess of pregnancy and delivery should have and although we don’t have a frontal view.. girth manifests itself in all regions of ones body.. our statue is rather lean especially in the hamstrings.. the ratio of upper to lower torso is also rather equal, whereas Tawaret’s upper torso predominates in all representations throughout egyptian history.. in other words this is the body of a human not a hippo
Tawaret’s role in egyptian mythology fits with the island pregnancy issues but like hammer said that may have showed up later with ben.. so if this does end up being Tawaret, as an archaeologist i’d be really disappointed with the research quality put in by carlton and damon.. and i doubt they’d make that big a mistake so it likely isn’t
To this point I’ve been unable to think of any god or goddess that 100% fits that mold.. this makes me think that statue may in fact have the face of someone on the show and we’ll be shocked when they show it

There was a LOT of debate about “who” the two were that ran off (according to Ilana) when TLaDoJB aired. Personally, I don’t think it was Frank and Sun. I don’t even think it was Frank! As I understand it, all flights have to have a co-pilot. Someone sees a man in a pilot uniform running away, I don’t think he or she will stop to think which pilot it was!
My vote is for Frank, Sun, Sayid (and perhaps others we don’t yet know were on the plane) to have flashed with Kate, Hurley and Jack, but they ended up somewhere other than the lake area.
Perhaps those that actually “crashed” in the plane are ALSO in 1977, but we just don’t know it yet. The possible reference we have is the office at the Hydra station, but was there anything in there to definitively put the timeline AFTER the 1970’s?
Now I am going to contradict myself. Michael tricked Hurley, Kate and Jack (along with Sawyer) into going with him to rescue Walt, so maybe those three WERE the only ones that flashed.
Maybe it is too late to be speculating so hard! LOL

Now I’m a little intimidated by all the pouncing on birdwatcher, but there’s something that I have been thinking about on course correction that I believe hasn’t been proposed here but I think Hammer somewhat alluded to it. I try to read all the posts. So here it is and please forgive me in advance if this has already been discussed:
I agree with Faraday’s “what happened, happened” theory. However, I think that someone, may be from the Dharma initiative or before that (could be Widmore, could be the ancient Egyptians) did some time traveling of their own that changed the course of events temporarily. I think the main reason for the survivors to return to the island or, for that matter, to crash on the island in the first place is so that their presence and their interaction with the island can course-correct the events. I think this is why it’s their ‘destiny’ and why the island brought them here. So may be Charlotte isn’t meant to die in time skipping; may be the purge was never meant to happen. Some posts above have discussed that no matter what Faraday does he wont be able to prevent Charlotte’s death. But we’re assuming, in that case, that Charlotte’s death is the correct course. May be it’s not. Someone way before messed around with events that steered them off course in a direction that lead to the unfortunate death of Charlotte and the purge. I think the interplay of the survivors with the island will put history back on its rightful course. So, in sum, I don’t think Sawyer, Juliette, Jin, Miles and Faraday going back to 1977 are messing up the past. Quite the opposite..they’re actually fixing the past or assisting the universe in course-correcting events that someone else messed up. Both Ben and Widmore believe that the survivors have to be back on the island for the course correction to happen, but may be they have different ideas of what the correct course is.

Well I think the Ajira flight definitely landed in 2008 (present time), because recall the earlier episode where Sawyer finds the Ajira water bottle on the beach. And at that time, Sawyer’s group had flashed sometime into the “present.” And it was clear that the water bottle was new, not like it had been there for years or even months.
I don’t think Lapidus is in 1977 because he wasn’t on the original Oceanic 815 flight (even if some have speculated he SHOULD have been the pilot, he still wasn’t on that flight). I think the “pilot” that ran off with the woman in a canoe after the Ajira landing was indeed Lapidus. I like the theory of the woman he ran off with being the redheaded woman we saw board Flight 316. Sun and Sayid should be in 1977, although the question then is, why didn’t they flash along with Jack/Kate/Hurley into the waterfall area? For dramatic purposes, they will probably make us wait for a Jin-Sun reunion, but I’m sure there is a valid reason as to why Sun and Sayid did not land in the same place as Jack/Kate/Hurley.
As for the possibility of Charlotte eventually being alive, I think ANYBODY we have seen die has the possibility of coming back alive. I say this because Desmond (whom the rules don’t apply to, according to Faraday) may have the power to change everything. His role on this show is critical, I think…super critical. I also can’t get his “see you in another life brother” quote out of my head. Seems that it could be more than just a catch-phrase, considering what we’ve seen him do in this show so far and what he’s capable of. It’s like his subconscious KNOWS he will see whomever he says that to again. Just maybe.

I think if folks are looking for a reasonable explanation as far as the Ajira folks flashing to different spots and timelines, you will not find one. Hawkings said they had to recreate everything as best they could. They obviously could not, thus the result of their travel would be as she stated, “unpredictable.”
So Sun can very well be in 2008 with Jin in 1977, to me their reunion would be a subplot that could last the rest of this season and into next if need be.

I’m not sure one can say that “what happened, happened” and then turn around and state that the Losties or Left Behinders are fixing things.
For instance in 198X a whole bunch of Dharma folks will die. That is what happened. If folks are able to “fix it” then perhaps they don’t die by Ben gassing them, but instead, Ben plans a huge banquet and poisons the food/drinks, or he locks up all the guns, shuts down the sonic fence and allows the Hostiles to go buck wild, etc. The bottom line is a whole bunch of Dharma folks will die because that is what happened.
Charlotte will die on the island, whether she gets there from Widmore funding, or was on the original 815 flight, or some subsequent method, she will arrive on the island and die.

Finally got through all of the previous post so I can make a comment concerning everyone’s opinions on the islands latest romance.
I have always been in favor of Kate/Sawyer being together in the end, so was surprised to find myself (reluctantly) approving of the Sawyer/Juliet pairing. I have never been a fan of Juliet’s, but if she makes Sawyer happy…so be it. I find it amusing that you all are apprehensive of Kate showing up and messing that up. What about Jack showing up and now Juliet ditching Sawyer for Jack? It was apparent early on that Juliet had her heart set on Jack. So, cut Kate some slack. Jack and Juliet had a huge influence on how Kate behaved in the past and Sawyer didn’t mind being her booty call (or so he said). Kate didn’t always behave rationally, but Jack certainly doesn’t either.

DocH: love the tunnels theory; we know they exist (for smokey) and it makes sense.
birdwatcher and new folks…hammer wasn’t being rude; in fact he said exactly what i was thinking (implying that you should read everything first). the only reason we get frustrated is because we DO read (sometimes for days) everything before posting.
and even if you DID read everything, i completely understand how muddled your/our thoughts can get.
the more i read and piece together, the more i solidify theories in my head which, at this point, i can’t even recall if they’re uniquely mine or not since they’re influenced by everything i’ve read on here.
i don’t even know if that makes sense.
but i’ll stew on ideas for days to the point where i don’t even know if i’ve mentioned them MYSELF.
anyhoo…i’ve been watching season 1 again, and it’s amazing to watch john locke absorb everything as if he’s been there already. i mean…in a sense he HAS [in the (forth-coming) past]. watching old eps makes me appreciate the show even more.
i’m still on board with miraks about thomas being the baby. mainly because of the age and widmore connection. and the aaron connection. the only reason i was wondering if juliet’s interference with the delivery may have altered things is to determine whether the baby is someone we may not have even met yet.
folks i’m HOPING to see on the island:
helen, crazy-numbers-loony bin guy, and libby. and libby’s husband…if she even WAS married…
i’m also waiting for more half-sibling relationships to be revealed. jack is a nickname for john, and they have a jillion other parallels…

Sawyer, Mister Criminal himself actual found redemption. He jumped from the helo to save the OA6, leading the way for other Losties. He has been doing nothing but good work, and the tough jobs, since the island dealt him his cards.
Juliet, seems like she is the anti-Kate (a GOOD thing). A fertility doctor, helping people, lured to the island, to help people. Jack fancied her for all of the three weeks he knew her. Kate had three+ months to be pro-Jack or pro-Sawyer, she waffled then, and will again… she is, and always will be, pro-Kate.
Now Juliet and Sawyer – they’ve had three years together. They get out of bed, kiss, tell each other they love another, hug – three years together. Freckles and Doc aren’t just going to walk into the barracks and change that… they’ll lose because they are losers. Juliet was always a reletive winner while Sawyer earned top Brownie points in the island trenches.

Desmond “caused” 815 to crash when he was LATE in putting in the numbers. He was late because he had followed Kelvin, who was trying to leave on Desmond’s boat. Desmond killed him and ran back to the station and put in the numbers. No flash then, just the crash. He turned the fail-safe key when the computer was counting down and it was TOO LATE to input the numbers – that was the “purple sky event” and the presumed beginning of Desmond’s time travels.

Sawyer is not in love with Juliet, he is playing her. She is an other and I still don’t trust her.
The statue was in the future. When we saw the foot before, the rest of it was missing because it hadn’t been built yet.
Also, anyone notice that one of the guys trying to kidnap Amy had a large tattoo on his arm? Those guys looked more like rednecks than any type of Anubis-worshipping immortals. Maybe there is a “Deliverance” element here that we are all missing. Squeal piggy!

I’ve always wondered why Richard isn’t just always the leader of the Others. Why have Ben, or Widmore, or Locke as the leader when Richard Alpert is always there anway? Then I started to really contemplate the reason for the eyeliner… R.A. is Ra, the ancient egyptian sun god. Do you think this guy has been alive for only 300 years, or more like 3000+?

In any case, the Dharma compound seems to be located very close to the Temple of the Others, maybe even on top of some of it. It is odd then, that the Others would have entered into any kind of truce with Dharma that would allow them to be THERE of all places. On the island, OK, but not THERE. It may be the actual reason that the Others have become the “hostiles” towards them. Then again, they weren’t all that welcoming to the army group either – but in all fairness, they DID after all, bring a big bomb.

Sawyer’s Constant wrote:
Honestly, I think the romantic angles are going to be downplayed from this point forward. Other than a Sun / Jin reunion scene, I don’t think we are going to see a lot of romance. There is too much story left to tell mythologically speaking to spend a lot of air time on romantic polygons.
That said, it was clear that we are to believe that Sawyer and Juliet are a happy, comfortable couple, resigned to live “happily ever after” through the 70s and 80s and beyond. I don’t think Sawyer was emotionally invested in Kate the way he appears to be with Juliet.
BFE (Before the Freighter Explosion – which is an easier way to delineate, then to say the year LOL) Juliet had a lil ole crush on Jack, but knew that the feelings were not reciproKATEd (sorry, the pun was just there ASKING me to let it out).
If we do see some romance, I think that Kate will be relieved that Sawyer is safe and happy. I think the Jack will shed the shackles of leadership, chill and realize that it is okay to love a murdering fugitive with a good heart and allow himself to fall properly for Kate.
So no crazy romantic fighting, just Saywer with Juliet, and Jack with Kate. And Desmond with Penny, Sun with Jin, Bernard with Rose. (And on the “zombie season,” Sayid with Shannon, Hurley with Libby, Charlie with Claire, Daniel with Charlotte, Locke with Helen, Miles with Ana Lucia, Ben with Annie.) (And on LOST The Next Generation, Ji Yeon with Aaron, little Charlie with as-yet-unnamed baby Goodspeed.)

rita…i’m with you on the why THERE.
the others seem nomadic to me; like they don’t just have one camp in one place.
not sure why i think this; i feel like something has alluded to it.
i’m still scratching my head about them seeing the statue while sawyer was standing in the filled-in well.
i care less about WHAT the statue was and more about WHEN it was.

The 4TS was seen in the scene BEFORE the well was dug, when Sawyer was holding the rope that just went into the ground.
Then they flashed to a new time (1974) when the well was filled in, but still had the wall around it.
Chronologically, I think it is
First: no well (the first no well, the angels did sing) = 4TS time
Next: well (Locke goes down)
Finally: filled-in well (DHARMA years)

Did anyone actually believe that Sawyer was telling the truth when he spoke to Horace about 3 years being enough time to get over someone? It seemed rather obvious to me that he did not even believe the words coming out of his mouth. He had seemingly moved on but the despair in his face was tremendous. Kate was/is the one person that could keep Sawyer in check and challenge him to be better than he thought himself to be. Juliette took over this role by backing his decisions as leader but there are most definately unresolved feelings for Kate that have to play out somehow.

So the competing theories are “what happens happened” (predetermination) or not predetermination.
The reason I assume these events to be the true course is because these events are what the TV show reveals to us. Once the show reveals something to us I take it as an event that has happened. The next step for my understanding of “what happened happened,” is that there is nothing anyone can do to prevent said event. (I guess this applies to finalities).
I believe your position is that things can change and are not predetermined. So if you mean by Charlotte not dying so soon, that something can change or “course correct to the right timeline” to allow her to live to 80 and die on the island then her death in 2008 actually did not happen.
By saying that someone may have been messing with things “earlier” and now the Losties are fixing things however slightly, and these fixes result in a slight change in course, implies that someone else could come back after the Losties do their thing, and slightly change the course by altering something else. Then someone else could come and change that altered course, and so on and so on.
For purposes of this show I lean toward the predetermined course, but I agree that what you are saying is possible just not a “what happened happened.”

Who’s to say that the Ajiran flight landed on the island in 2008? It very well could have landed in 1977 and Sawyer and crew could have flashed to 1977 (not 2008) and the water bottle would have still looked new in 77 if that is when then Ajiran passengers are.
I don’t see how the Ajiran passengers are in 2008/present day and Kate, Jack and Hurley are in 1977….. wouuldn’t that mean the island is existing in two different places? I think Ben could very well be able to be in 1977 when his younger self was because during one of the flashes Locke and Sawyer were near the places on the island when Claire was giving birth and the light was on in the hatch. Does that make sense?

I think you guys are on to something. I also think that fits in with my earlier theory that Jack flashed after 816 and didn’t crash due to a course correction type purpose (an explanation for why he woke up in the jungle in the same manner as after the 315 flash/crash).
For those of you claiming that the purge will happen because it happened or any other event for that matter, I think you are making assumptions. We don’t really know what happened. We know what we have been shown in the order we have been shown it, and we assume that it is what should have happened. The point being made here is that 816 crashed because of a course correction. In other words it didn’t happen that way originally and we don’t yet know what is and isn’t suppose to happen. The writers have said that there will not be any time paradoxes. This does not mean that events can’t change, this means that dualities can not occur. You can’t be alive before you were born and kill your mother and therefor never be born in the first place. Events changing, or course correcting, to preserve continuities and prevent these types of paradoxes are not only possible but necessary as well.
Moving on…
In the show ‘enter 77′, Mikhail says that he came to the island 11 years ago and in ‘par avion’ he claims that he was recruited by someone but he doesn’t finish the sentence because they spot the sonic fence. This would obviously be post purge and would leave the island under the control of Ben and ‘the others’, so my question is who recruited him and why? I believe there is more to that story line. In ‘par avion’ Mikhail also says that Kate was not on the list (the list from his great leader, not Ben, but Jacob). Mikhail also says that he has a fleeting memory of John Locke but that he must be mistaken because the John he knew….(he never finishes that sentence). Could these references be pertaining to some of the reasons for these course corrections and if so how does all this relate to the turning of the wheel and all the flashes starting and stopping?

How about this… Jacobs cabin always moves as the flashes moved while the wheel was spinning… if you are in the cabin, like Jacob (or Christian etc.) you follow the order of the flashes, even when the island isn’t moving through times… therefore Jacob is always on the move, which is how he knows so much…; and why the cabin is not always visable…
…This would also make it possible for Jacob to be Horace and Amys son… Richard could have met him ten thousand years ago for all we know, if it was SUPPOSED to happen

Also if the plane tried to land on the makeshift runway, it would be post-purge. If the Hydra is abandoned, contains historical data/artifacts, it would be after 1977. If the plane crashed in 1977, wouldn’t there be a good chance that the DI would see/and or hear it, detect it? This is picky, but I’m not sure they were bottling water in plastic containers in ‘77. All in all I have the chances of the plane crashing in ‘77 at less than 1%. JMO.

I believe Richard and the Others didn’t really want Amy, they wanted Amy’s baby. They had to kill Paul to get Amy. Remember the Others kidnapped Alex from Danielle, they took the children from the original crash and they stole Walt off the boat. For some reason they need children.
I agree w/359, I think Desmond beat up Ben. I believe Ben went to try and kill Penny to fulfill his promise to Widmore and Desmond beat him up. Remember Desmond was in town to find Eloise too. They came via Penny’s boat, which was at the dock which is where Ben was when he called Jack to tell him that plans have changed and Jack has to pick up Locke’s body.
As for Alpert taking Paul’s body, resurrection is a hidden theme, so it could be that Paul’s coming back as an Other!

ok, read everything, so…
I don’t think the baby is Jacob, I get the feeling that Jacob has always been around.
I would bet money that it WAS Sun and Lapidus that took off in the boat, the co-pilot theory is a stretch, BUT I have definitely been wrong in my trying to figure out WTF has been going on before. In fact I’ve only had 1 correct prediction and that was that Miles had been on the island before, and we don’t even know that for sure, Faraday only asked him “are u sure about that?” to MIles stating he had only been there 3 weeks.
I’m not getting people questioning the whole “it’s only been 3 years” statement. I think it was just foreshadowing of Sawyer seeing Kate again. I don’t think Horace was referencing Olivia at all-just simply that he found Paul’s ankh that Amy was “hiding” in her drawer for 3 years.
I think Richard pretty much is able to do whatever he wants. I also think he’s kinda cute.
I’d be interested in hearing everyone’s opinion on who should be trusted more: Widmore or Ben? Neither? What does everyone think? I sort of like Ben sometimes…
And FINALLY once again, I’m sorry people but Kate and Sawyer all the way!!!!!!!! Some don’t think Kate is “worthy”, but who do you think started Sawyer on his about face attitude? I’m not really sure why she ever left those dimples in the first place.

Mikhail new all the 411 on Kate, Sayid, and John from their files for sure, but he also said that comment about John specifically. If you re-watch the episode you will understand what I am talking about. He is alluding to the fact that he did not know Kate and Sayid but that he did remember John Locke from the past and that John was different at that moment than the John he remembered.
In regards to Circus Mom’s post 552.. it’s certainly possible but something tells me that it is from the island in the past. Either…
a. Mikhail is lying and he has been on the island
previous to 11 years or has flashed also and been
around Locke in 1954.
or
b. We haven’t seen all the times that Locke has been
on the island yet. Maybe 316 crashes somewhere
between present time and 11 years ago when Mikhail
got to the island and that is when they met.
However, I thought Mikhail died in the looking
glass with the grenade/ charlie scene so that
creates several other issues.
In regards to post 526… my apologies I intermix the flight numbers alot…. maybe the it’s the flashes and the nosebleeds, lol.

People have been commenting about Richard’s “nice clothes” vs. his shaggy clothes. I can’t help but think about last week’s episode when the new woman was asking Locke why he was dressed up so nice. He explained that he guessed that was what they were going to bury him in. I thought this conversation was odd because he wasn’t really dressed in an exceptional way for an airplane ride. It’s not like he was in a tuxedo or something. Seems curious to me.
As far as the the dead bodies, Alex wasn’t buried either. Maybe Ben just didn’t have time, but it always seemed significant to me.
Also, it seems odd to me that Horace brought Ben to the island if he was destined to be the leader of the Others. I am beginning to wonder if Richard manipulated Ben, Widmore, and Locke into thinking they ar
