Lost Season 5 Premiere: Destiny Calls
1 year, 1 month ago by NickRead more: Hurley, Lost Episodes
After another 8 month hiatus, Lost is back this evening, with a three hour premiere event. There is an hour long recap show at 8 EST, followed by the first two episodes of Season 5 – the aptly titled Episode 1 “Because You Left” and then Episode 2 “The Lie”. As you might have noticed, we’ve taken a bit of a hiatus as well – after the DHARMA Wants You ARG catastrophe we too needed a break! Navigating the minefield of spoilers that the Lost blogosphere has become is difficult (if not impossible), but we will continue to treat this blog and our weekly episodic posts as something to prompt intelligent conversation about our favorite show rather than ruin the intrigue far in advance for everyone.
That said, Season 5 is largely going to focus on the theme of time travel – as many of you can imagine – and Episode 1 is said to pick up immediately where Season 4 ended. Lindelof has said that when this season starts, we will not “know when or where we are” – and that the story telling device may change as well. Further, a number of the episodes will be more multi-character focused than we have seen in the past. We will see two new characters introduced in Episode 1.
Because You Left
ABC’s Official Show Description
Spoiler Alert
“The remaining island survivors start to feel the effects of the aftermath of moving the island, and Jack and Ben begin their quest to reunite the Oceanic 6 in order to return to the island with Locke’s body in an attempt to save their former fellow castaways.”
The first scene of “Because You Left” is supposed to start with a jaw-dropping opener, so make sure you don’t miss the first few minutes!
The Lie
ABC’s Official Show Description
Spoiler Alert
“Hurley and Sayid are on the run from the cops after stumbling into trouble at the safehouse; the island survivors come under attack by unknown forces; and an old friend offers some shocking advice to Kate in order to ensure that “the lie” remain a secret.”
We will not dig too far into this episode, given the implications of the episode title itself. I can say that a character we have not seen since Season 2 will make an appearance and there should be an extremely intense action scene.

7 hours and counting…
A random thought. Does turning the Frozen Donkey Wheel reactivate whatever the magnetic force was hiding the island? So when it moves in time, it cannot be seen in other “times” at it’s current location?
Did that make sense?

just a random thought that probably couldn’t actually be true, but thought i would throw it out there anyway, but what is widmore was the island’s “ben” before ben took over? what is widmore had to move the island and can’t come back, then dharma took over, then ben took over and now widmore is mad and wants control back…? how does he really know so much about the island, enough to create a secondary protocol if ben heads to the orchid, etc.? like i said, just a random thought…

The episode did not disappoint. Answered questions, still bringing UP questions though.
One inconsistency that bothered me… Sun showed Kate a photo of a YOUNG baby – six, maybe eight months at most. Ji Yeon should be at least two and a half – shouldn’t Sun have had a more recent photo? I’m just saying…
There were a few predictable things… but probably NOT for the “average” LOST viewer (which clearly we are not). Mrs. Hawking is a good example. And bringing Frogurt to the forefront just to kill him off was typical LOST redshirt expenditure.

Ms. Hawkings. She was the lady Dez saw while he was time traveling.
Comment 35, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
Easy, the old lady was the same lady who talked to charlie and convinced him he was not meant to marry Penny yet. She is the one Des saw in one of his visions when he was in London and saw Charlie. She also told Des he could not change Charlie’s death or stop it, rather.
I am totally not buying Sun’s friendly little ‘catch up’ time with Kate. I am conflicted because I want Sun to still be good. But now that she is part of the Widmore gang, I cant be too sure.

Aaron was not meant to leave the island, remember? You know when Clair was preggo she went to have her fortune told… i forget what the fortune teller told her but she was either to NOT raise him because something bad would happen OR she was NOT TO BE w/o him bc something bad would happen… does anyone remember which it was? That might help us figure out why he is super important to whoever wants him back. For a while I was thinking the lawyers were a way for Ben to get her to go to the island again since she is accustom to fleeing.

Comment 45, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
That was a lot to take in. I thought of a couple of things right after seeing, though.
1. When Richard visited little John to have him choose the items, could he have been looking for time traveling John?
2. Could the whispers be coming from people who are shifting around in time? Possibly even James, John, Juliet and the rest?
Something else — we now know that Dan was who we heard on the dharma video. He must be trying to change the past.
Comment 46, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
Um, can we discuss the island only moving for our friends and no one else. How did Faraday escape the whole time travel thing and link up with the dharma people? (Dr. Chang, another name for our friend!) Clearly its creating our path for Dan to investigate the Donkey Wheel. How did Richard Alpert know everything that was to come?

In 1996, Daniel could manipulate time with Eloise. He had eight years to figure it out. I think he can CHOOSE to travel in time.
I believe Alpert, Walt and Desmond are special, but that Captain Eyeliner has learned to manipulate it better. Some believe that he is a whisperer, and I certainly agree that is a possibility.
So much to digest…

Miles can communicate with ghosts. Is dying the key? When you die maybe you have a chance of coming back depending on where the island is in time. Dead people always appear on the island right? What exactly happened to the island when desmond turned the key?

What’s with Charlotte and the nosebleed? Obviously, Daniel is very worried. A symptom of the rapid time travels? If they can’t stop it, perhaps everyone is in danger?

I think miles is the baby from the Dharma flashback we first saw when this season started… Asian baby…Asian Miles-who is also special as he can chit chat with the dead (remember he communicated with some lady’s family member for $$ when we were getting to know him through his character’s flashbacks) Maybe that is how he knew the bore was dead waiting to fill their bellies!

If you read above, you will see that she has visited with Desmond in his flashbacks. She was sort of the expert in past / future and the idea that you cannot change either, because destiny has a way of course correcting.

I disagree. The “original” video (which I believe was shown at Comic-Con – I wasn’t there, but I think that is the source) was clearly in the early to mid-70’s based on the style of clothing, etc. In it, Halliwax / Candle / Wickman is interrupted by a crying baby, who definitely COULD be baby Miles. That would make Miles in his early 30’s, which I think is quite probable.

Sun made some lame comment about “This is a baby picture” when she showed Kate the pic. It’s probably something to do w/ casting–just easier for now. Seriously, they should have had Kate make a comment about it to Sun…..something humorous….or at least had Sun seem apologetic….”THe only pic that I have w/ me is from when Ji Yeon was an infant.” Something.

Wow. What great episodes! I agree that the crying baby was most likely Miles. Poor Hurley! He thinks he is doing the right thing by listening to Sayid, but is he? As evil and deceptive as Ben is, Anna Lucia DID say to not get arrested and to stay away from the cops. Ben has his own interests at heart (as always) but he may have been the better choice for Hurley. We shall see.

I agree, Miss Kim. It was probably a casting thing… don’t want to identify the older child until she is cast. And it would be like D&C to add a bit of humor to cover that in exactly the way you described… which is why I think there might be something else to it!
Speaking of D&C humor, in the “clip show” (which was really so much more than that) I loved how Damon talked about Jack’s “really bad beard.” I expected them to say something about “Carole’s really bad Australian accent,” but they didn’t.
An example of their senses of humor is when Hurley gave his mother a three minute recap of his time on the island. I mean it DID sound ridiculous, but that has always been Hurley’s job – to be the Greek chorus, so to speak.

i think sun was trying to convince kate that she had to keep aaron safe as a cover for kate to think she can trust sun. when ben or jack or whoever comes to collect kate and aaron to take them back to the island, this trust in sun will force her to choose, and ultimately possibly lead sun/widmore to ben.
mrs. hawking freaks me out, what was all that equipment she was working on! is she the only one that knows when and where the island is? does widmore even know about her? if she really is dan’s mom, how will des find her if she’s in l.a. when he thinks he’s supposed to go to oxford?

The nosebleed topic…the man that I think Locke comes upon that is cutting down a tree in a previous episode has a nosebleed and says he has been dead for some odd years. Maybe Charlotte is dead when she has that nose bleed cause the island jumped in time past when she died?? Just a thought.
Comment 94, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
I think Widmore is from the future, and at some point has access to the past… he knows desmond is ben’s connection to Penny, who ben has promised to kill, thus the reason why he tries to keep them apart at all costs.
And I’m guessing the reason the six need to return are because they are the “constants” to the survivors, as they have not been affected by the massive release of EM energy that was released from the donkey wheel.
The catastrophic event that lead to the construction of the Swan station(mentioned in the early seasons) is the result of someone drilling into the giant donkey wheel room and causing an energy leak that needs to be slowly released by pushing the button every 108 minutes. I think Faraday causes this event in order to get desmond into the room to “save the world” when the events in teh show take place
Comment 95, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
I agree on the whispers conversations. I said it out loud while I was watching the episodes, “I bet this will explain the whispers!”. Also, were the guys towards the end in Dharma uniforms or Army uniforms. It was hard to tell on the tv I was watching…

I think that Goodspeed (the man cutting down the tree) had a nosebleed in Locke’s dream / vision because he had a nosebleed when he died in the purge from the gas.
But that brings up a question… what was in those canisters and up at the Tempest? Could there be a relation to that and the “energy” that the island has?
Perhaps the first purple sky event (when Desmond turned the fail safe) moved the island back in time just a few minutes (hence the difference between the freighter and the island when the rocket was launched). Of course, that leaves the whole “doctor washes up on shore dead while he is still alive on the freighter” thing in limbo.
Hmmm.

that is so smart! i love the idea! it def has to be right! if they button wasnt pushed then all the energy would be released and time would be messed up and all the “constants” would get caught up in the messed up time and eventually everyone would die. hense pushing the button saves the world. but then what happened when Dez turned the key? how was the energy controled or stored or released?
Comment 99, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
hmmm…. i dunno. I figure the swan station where the button was and the plated magnet wall was originally teh mining site we see in the beginning of this episode(the swan station/mine site being directly next to the wheel room), the magnet wall being where dharma had attempted to plug and control the leak that faraday ad caused. So with the collapse of the swan station, i’d guess taht plugged up most if not all of the leak, since the room had caved in leaving a crater.
But I’m thinking taht there is energy escapeing every 108 minutes, but it’s a very small amount compared to the giant blast caused by turning the wheel. If a massive amount of energy causes everyone to sporadically jump through time very quickly, a slow release of energy from the swan leak would cause everyone on the island to move through time, but gradually and much more slowly. The evidence of this first being the delayed arrival of the faraday’s missile(which was off only by a few minutes), and later the freight doctor’s body(which was off by many days).
Comment 100, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
That would also explain why des’s key is a fail safe. If he hadn’t turned the key, there could have possibly been a release of a massive amount of energy much like the one released by turning the wheel, that would have put them in the situation they are in now. Turning the key would cause the station to collapse, effectively sealing the leak.

The energy in the Orchid is related to time. The energy at the Swan where Des was pushing the button was electromagnetism. Kelvin explained to Des that the button has to be pushed to release the electromagnetic energy every 108 minutes so that it doesn’t become too big to contain. Two seperate stations in two seperate parts of the island and not related to each other based on anything we know at this time.
Granted, it has been suggested that the purple haze of the Swan implosion did originally cause Des to become unstuck in time and it is possible that event also caused some of the other time weirdness on the island that is revealed in season 4. However I think it’s a bit of a reach to make any connection between the button-pushing at the Swan and the time-travel at the Orchid.

VERY GOOD EPISODES!! I can’t believe they left us hanging where they did – OK, I guess that’s pretty typical – but what a long wait until next week to get more!
It strikes me that the “donkey wheel” looks like something that might have come from the ship, or at least built by the same people who would build a ship like the Black Rock – from the same era anyway. Widmore seems to know all about the island and it’s properties. Whoever suggested that he might be from the Black Rock might be on to something.
I agree that the Asian baby we see in the beginning is most likely Miles. Does that make him born on the island? Maybe, and if so, that could explain his “specialness”. Aaron was also born on the island and is therefore special. Ben made a big point about being born on the island, even though he later admitted that that was a lie. He said that the “Others” all THOUGHT he was born there, so that was significant.

Wow good to have the island back…or is it? I agree with alot of the discussed ideas widmore as a previous chosen one and the dead are whisperers and maybe some time overlap…my favorite twist is that they say you cannot change anything in time. That is so different from most time travel theories…waiting to see what else happens and try to get through comments before next week.

Okay…my take….the psychic is a real psychic. His first reading told him that Aaron was special and new he would be important to saving the world and Claire had to raise him. Widmore (who I now believe set up the folks on 815) got to the psychic and “convinced” him to get Claire on the plane. Claire dies and meets some “whisperers” that don’t want Aaron on the island and now “whispers” to Kate to keep the baby from the island. I am now wondering if the folks Claire hangs with now are on Widmore’s side or Ben’s side.

Loved the premiere! Fantastic! My observations:
1. Loved the alarm at 8:15…is it possible that that baby is Miles?
2. I find it interesting that there was a station being built to deal with the hostile indigenous population on the island i.e. the Others
3. Loved the record skipping, foreshadowing the skipping of time that Ben set off when he moved the island
4. Way too much Hurley in this episode…he drives me nuts, his character has gone from endearing and a comic relief to just plain annoying
5. What is with the butcher shop??? Noticed Ben’s number was 342 (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42)
6. Faraday lied to Sawyer, obviously, about being able to change things in the past since he tried to find Desmond in the hatch
7. Charlotte seems to be time traveling or is affected by the island the way the comm. officer of the freighter was…nosebleeds, lost time, etc. I am sure she’s indigenous to the island…not able to remember her Mom’s maiden name
8. I was hoping Charlie would make another appearance!
9. Loved seeing Ana Lucia…her bangs looked great!
10. I think Sun does blame Kate and Jack a bit for Jin’s “death”
11. Who was throwing those fire torches and who were those guys who grabbed Sawyer and Juliette?
I think that’s it for now! I need to watch it again…was pretty sleepy last night!
Off to a great start!

Lots of great ideas here! We had pretty much decided that Widmore was the island’s “ben” before Ben, but these episodes seemed to confirm it.
Mrs. Hawking as Faraday’s mom – brilliant!
About Charlotte and her nosebleed – Let’s not forget that Miles said to her last year something about coming back to the island. She either didn’t know what he was talking about or is hiding something. She genuinely didn’t seem to understand the nosebleed, but it’s got to have something to do with being dead (would make sense with the Miles connection) or the energy from orchid (would make sense from specifically showing the guy on the floor with the nosebleed).
Such a great show!

I think folks are forgetting the lesson we learned from Des’s time travel and trying to change things. Des learned from Ms. Hawkings (Faraday’s mom) that you can’t change destiny (save Charlie) so don’t change events (break the rules). It’s not that you are unable to change events, it’s that you can’t (break the rules). So Dan is telling Des what to do to make sure things happen. Just like he did in the Constant…give me the info so I can do my destiny(help “save us all” as Ms. Hawkings put it). Dan is “fixing” destiny because Widmore and now Ben have broken the rules.

My thoughts:
1. Totally agree Miles is definitely the baby. When I first saw the sneak peek video of Chang, I thought the voice behind the camera was Miles’ not Daniel’s.
2. Charlotte was on the island as a child – still a theory that she could be the little girl from Ben’s childhood.
3. Minkowski’s nose bled BEFORE he died, not after. He time traveled and didn’t have a constant. Where’s Charlotte’s constant?
4. Hurley sees dead people. So does everyone else.
5. Had the exact same thought that the whispers were people shifting through time.
6. At some point, will our current castaways find Danielle Ruseux and her original team from 16 years before? Will we see how Ben acquired Alex? Will we see how the team really died? Did they bleed out through their noses too?
7. Daniel finds Des because the “rules don’t apply” to him. He has special abilities.
8. Love the Mrs. Hawkings is Dan’s Mom.
9. 70 hours? Why 70 hours? What’s up with that?
10. Seriously? Frogurt? Was this the same Neil that they kept confusing with Steve in the 1st season?
11. Ethan 20-30 years before shooting John Locke? Ageless again? Wouldn’t Ethan have remembered this in the future? Can anyone remember a conversation/comment that Ethan gave John in season 1 to indicate some kind of past relationship? Wouldn’t John have remembered Ethan shot him 20 years ago? If you can’t change the past – then John would have always had the memory of being shot. Unless of course, the rules don’t apply to him either.

Great episode! I know they said they’ll be answering more questions than posing them; however…
1. When Farday asked if anyone was missing from their group, why did Sawyer just say Locke – don’t they think Claire is still missing too? Although Locke knows where she is.
2. Mrs. Hawking as Faraday’s mom – brilliant – but were they in Oxford, or LA? They just seemed to be in a church.
3. If you can’t change what happens in time shifting, then how are they interacting with the people of the time they are in? How can you get shot? Or is it all a form of course correction?
4. We know Charlotte lives because we see her in a flash forward in the Tunisian desert. She clearly has been to the island before, and we know she’s searching for the place that she’s been born; but what is her point of being on the mission crew. Daniel and Miles have both shown what they’re so good at.
5. If time just kept on shifting, wouldn’t everybody just go koo-koo. Is that the sickness that Rousseau warned of? Is that what Kelvin warned Desmond of in the hatch. And is the time shifting the reason all of the hatches are so well protected?
That’s all for now!

I just read up on Charlotte….
some things I just noticed. (If it’s true)
She was raised with 2 younger sisters…who might they be?
She attended Oxford University.
I am sure almost everyone knows this but I forgot and am sure someone might find it interesting.
Oh yeah….and what is the significance that she can’t remember her Mother’s Maiden name? Maybe it’s a clue. Someone we already know about?
You know something else I just realized….it would seem like most of the main characters from lost are an only child. I am sure everyone knew that from season 1 but I guess I get so caught up in the deep stuff i miss the obvious.

Another random thought:
John Locke (aka Jeremy Benthem) visited all of the Oceanic 6 to tell them to go back. But he also visited Walt. Yet, Ben is not at all concerned about grabbing Walt to get back to the island.
The fact is, Walt could see the future and often appeared in people’s visions (Shannon before she got shot/John Locke after he got shot). Also, Ben was all too happy to let Michael take Walt off the island in Season 2 because “he was more than we could handle.” They also did a lot of psychological testing on Walt (perhaps like Richard Alpert did to John Locke). Could it be that Walt is supposed to succeed John as leader of the Others. If so, why is Ben ignoring this fact?

There is something important about the compass that Richard gave to Locke. John asked what it’s for and Richard said, “It points North, John.” Do you recall back in Season One Locke had a compass that he gave to someone (I want to say Sayid) and he said that he doesn’t need it anymore. Well, when Sayid was looking at teh compass he made a comment about North on the compass being in the wrong directions. I think this is very important.

When Desmond was a monk at the monastery, remember the tall thin monk that seemed to be his boss? The one that caught him drinking the wine and threw him out? When Desmond went in his office to turn in his “uniform” there was a picture on the head monks desk of him (the head monk)with the white haired woman. Or so I thought anyway. It was a quick shot. I assumed she is his mother. That monk is the one that asked Desmond to help load the wine and that is when Desmond meets Penny! So, another circle back to how all of these lives are intertwined. The monk also seemed to know Widmore pretty well. Also, Mrs Hawking was in a church in that last scene with Ben.
Comment 133, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
I think it has something to do with being his constant also. But would Alpert be Locke’s constant or would Locke be Alpert’s constant? Either way, I think there is something significant about the compass and pointing North.
How about that giant thing with Ms. Hawking swinging back and forth and making marks on the ground? Perhaps that has something to do with where the island is or where it moved to.
Hurley is bothering me now too. I am worried about that he told his parents about the lie. How did he go from last season in a flash forward saying they have to go back because the island wants them to go back, to now he doesn’t want to. Maybe he does still want to but just not with Ben…. maybe with Widmore? Did you notice the smirk at the end when he ran to the cops? And what could it be that made Sayid go from working with Ben to suddenly being against him?
Have we seen Dr.Chang’s/Dharma guy’s wife before? She looks familiar.
And after all the anticipation of Sawyer being shirtless for the first episode….. he kind of has a beer belly. Must be all that Dharma beer he drank from the van they found! But he still looks good :-)

1. If Miles is the baby in the beginning/ Dr. Chang’s son, then how and when did he get on the island? Was he born there? How and when did he leave? Had to be before the purge.
2. Charlotte’s nosebleeds and “skipping” memory indicate that she is in danger of loosinf her mind. Perhaps the same sickness that killed Russou’s group. Didn’t Dez also get a nosebleed on the helicopter last season?
3. I think the other person Sun blames for Jin’s death (or presumed death) is Jack, and she is using Kate to get to him.
4. Could Sun be the one that spooked Kate with the lawsuit/ blood test? It’s a weird coincidence that she calls Kate out of the blue at a time when Kate is on the run.

The compass that Locke gave Sayid was newer I think, and I believe that was a deleted scene. Sayid told him it wasn’t quite accurate, probably because of the odd electromagnetic properties of the island.
I need to find a screenshot of the stuff that Mrs. Hawking was working on… I thought the markings might be the places like Tunisia, and Australia – where anomalies are taking place. The markings appear to have been mostly over water, though. Perhaps those areas coincide with where the island has been or will be.

I’ll disagree with a lot of people here that Mrs. Hawkins is Daniel’s mother. I think he would know a lot more about the island if she was. Also, I think she is much more than that. More likely one of the “originals” like Alpert. Farraday’s mom is more likely to be the Losties “Mrs. Hawkins”.

Excellent start to a very anticipated season.
Though too much Hurley and not enough Desmond and Penny.
I think Charlotte is Des/Pen’s daughter (in previewing scenes, i think we see penny in labor). I think Des/Pen end up on the island, Penny gives birth to Charlotte, and somehow, she ends up off the island.
And one thing that Dan said about time being like a string – you can move forward/backward but you can’t change anything. Except for Desmond. Which implies that he can change things.
Also, i think the comment about Sawyer getting the splinter in his toe (and the 4 toed statue) – something’s up with that connection.

The guys with the guns looked to me a lot like american WWII soldiers in the south pacific. They were wearing army boots, and their uniforms looked the part. The rifle they had was an old M1, which was standard for WWII soldiers, and the machete they used was common equip for those fighting in the islands of hte pacific theatre. Which would explain their paranoia towards the group of people that just popped out of nowhere during their patrol, and the claim that it was “their island(in occupation)”, as the japanese often used ruthless and very tricky tactics(playing dead, popping out of ground holes and scary thingsl ike that).

Hi everybody…it’s been a while! :)
Questions for pondering, always looking for answers and/or opposition to any theories I pose.
1 – Has Mrs. Hawking been in charge the whole time and not Ben?
2 – Where is Walt and why does he not have to go back?
3 – Is the runway they were building in S3 going to land an Aljira plane carrying the losties back to the island?
4 – 99% sure Mrs. Hawking is Faraday’s mum (the pic on the monk’s desk has Oxford in the background), but I’ll throw another name out there. Isabel the sherrif.

Hurley sure has been turning into one prize asshole.
He’s so stupid he doesn’t see a need to lie?
And his gullible mother acts like she believes a story no sane person would swallow; so are they both nuts?
Hurley runs into the arms of the cops? He sees that as his ONLY alternative? He’d rather get his fat ass locked up and enjoy all that great Prison food and maybe a random beat down by convicts trying to get at his Lottery winnings? What a dolt. There WAS a third alternative Dumbo; run away from both the Cops and Ben. Why the hell didn’t he just get in the car with Sayid to help his Dad? He’s a dumb lazy fuck.
Now Ben’s going to have to break his ass out of jail…maybe after he’s gotten reamed a few times (shades of Deliverance).
So, I am lukewarm on this restart; more puzzles and not many answers. But glad that Frogurt got the arrow to the chest he deserved. But why is Rose going all bitchy?
Ben may be a hero after all…but eager to know why Sayid is against him now. Sayid has screwed up some in the past so now I can’t trust him anymore.
Sawyer slapping Dan was a cheap shot; he’s got some bad karma building.
John Locke is still my fav; shows up in the nick of time.
Those are some bass ass baddies who wanted to cut off a hand just to show they mean business!
Now that Patchy and that mean mercenary who got his Orchid are gone we need more scary guys or gals to keep it interesting. Or just give us more Widmore…he’s pretty creepy. Love the baddies!
I’m starting to distrust Sun; fun scene with her and Widmore…with his regal attitude about her having the gall to approach him in public…ha! What an asshole.
But now she is siding with him? The guy who is responsible for blowing up her husband?
Well, I still think Sun’s hubby survived the blast; he must have jumped off at the last second…and he comes from a family of fishermen, neh? So, he knows how to survive in the water I bet.

Wow what a great episode! Took me awhile to read through all of the comments. Still have some questions:
1. Dr.Chang seemed like a really mean guy in general. His attitude towards the people filming the orientation videos was really rude.
2. It seemed like Dr.Chang had just gotten to the island with the Dharma people because they were still working on the videos and getting the stations ready. Maybe Miles was born off of the island before they moved there?
3. What was the deal with Sawyer wanting to take peoples shirts? I understand that he might have felt uncomfertable but he never seemed to care what people thought of him before.
4. When ben turned the giant wheel in the orchid station it seemed like the tunnel had already been dug out for him. I find it hard to believe that the explosion carved out that perfect tunnel with the frozen piece at the end. So that means that people have definitely moved the island since the dharma people found the wheel.
5. It was fairly easy to tell that Frogurt was a redshirt.

In Season 1, Boone ends up in the drug plane because Locke’s legs suddenly “go out on him”, when they got near the plane. Anybody else think it has something to do with Ethan shooting him there. Up until now, we haven’t had a logical explanation for that.

I’ve tried to read all of these but it keeps steering me away from what I was originally thinking about.
As the time changes on the island I think it changes locations as well. It looked like the old lady in the church was trying to pin point where the island would be at a specific time. If theres is a screen shot of it, It looked like there were 6 or 7 spots it could be at different times.
If someone already brought this up, sorry .

watched it again and had some more thoughts…
- if miles is candle’s son, and he was born on the island, how would that really be possible since pregnant women die on the island? obviously, there are alternative explanations like the arrived late in the pregnancy ala claire or they arrived after he was born…but what if he really was conceived and born on the island…does that make him “special”?
- funny how the recordin the beginning was skipping just like dan used that analogy to describe time
- why is candle wearing the dharma coat with the swan symbol if he’s in the arrow? also interesting that he was talking about defensive strategies against hostiles…
- maybe the island was moved when/right before rousseau’s team ended up on the island, that’s how the boat got there and crashed and then they all got “sick”

Regarding Hammer’s comment about Hurley seeing the cabin – I didn’t mean he doesn’t have the ability to see any Whisper-related aparitions. I think everyone can see them. I’m saying Charlie’s and Ana Lucia’s appearances to him were not Whisper-related, they were figments of his imagination.
Regarding the other patient telling Hurley someone was watching him, my take on this has always been that this guy is crazy too, so who knows exactly what he was referring to. He could have been referring to some other innocent bystander, he could have been imagining things. But his statement to Hurley prompted Hurley’s imagination to create the vision of Charlie.
I’m not 100% on this theory, and I know Hammer and others here disagreed with me whenever I mentioned this in last season’s discussions. But I’m also not 100% that Charlie and A.L. were Whisper/Island created apparitions.

Well I still resolutely maintain that Charlie did not die. I cannot explain how he ended up in southern California, but there is a scientific explanation for how he did NOT die in the Looking Glass Hatch. Many veterans of this blog know the story, so for their sakes I will not rehash.
But whether he was a whisperer who could be seen by the other patient at Santa Rosa, or alive, or otherwise, I do believe that Ana-Lucia is a whisperer. The difference between Hurley and everyone else is that Hurley is learning to SEE them as well as hear them.

I think Sun is setting Whitmore up.

She wouldn’t know that Ben let the scary guy with the bomb attached die. But the best way to get Whitmore would be to have him believe she wants to help him get Ben. Just a thought…

I wasn’t going to add anything this week, because that donkey wheel in my head has just started to spin, and has not quite unleashed its unlimited powers just yet but I wanted to comment on the “70 hours left…” thing.
Faraday explains the moving time as a skipping record, but it has always seemed by clues to be more like a loop of tape, with a specific start and end point. When the loop ends, it starts again. This specific loop, is something like, three years, and seventy hours… the amount of time that they have to all get back in the loop, before it starts over, and then there is nothing they can do about it.
like I said, I’m just warming up….

At the very beginning of the show, when they showed the Asian woman in bed, I thought it was Sun many years in the future.

Also, I got a big laugh out of Sawyer calling Charlotte “Ginger”, and calling Faraday “Dilbert”.

Might be pointing out something obvious to everyone else already but just watching the new episode(s)… The island isn’t traveling through time, the survivors are. When Locke time travels, no one around him, Ethan or Richard, even when Richard was in the same time period with Locke, before the wheel turned…
So to me it seems like the survivors are time traveling whereas the island is just traveling through space, hidden possibly by the whole electro-magnetic spectacle.
And… is it possible that Locke heals on the island and Richard simply doesn’t age. Peter Pan syndrome possibly. Just a thought, time traveling in any show/movie is pretty tricky to keep straight all the possibilities.

when alpert was talking to locke while he patched up his leg, he sounded a lot like ben talking to locke…sarcasm and that air of “i know more than you and you have no idea what you’re doing”
i can’t remember if anyone else has mentioned what sayid told hurley about doing the opposite of what ben says to do, what happened to sayid to make him think that way, have we already seen it and i missed something?

Comment 223, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
I guess what i was trying to say is that if you found a time machine and could teleport anywhere on a timeline, past or future. Let’s say you choose to go back to 1995, and you decide not to return to your original time period(2009) until 1996. Would you consider yourself to be living in the past? Past, present and future are all relative to where you are.
If you are living in 1995, tomorrow, even if tomorrow for you is in 1995, would still be the next day, and that would technically be the future. If you live for a year in 1995-1996 and return to 2009, you’d still be a year older. The time you spent in the ‘past’ was still a part of your life. That year didn’t disappear, you can’t say it never happened.
I think that’s the difference here between time and fate/destiny. Bend, break, move through time all you want, but fate is and will always be a straight line, and time is just a part of that. Fate is already written, and maybe faraday’s fate is to go back in time to create events that affect the future.
Eh. Still confusing. I’m working on it.

Whew! Got through all the comments! Some excellent thinking out there everyone. Some thoughts of my own:
To PJ comment 124: I don’t think the soldiers could be from Rousseau’s group because they didn’t seem to be French, and they weren’t scientists.
To Hammer comment 131 and PJ comment 139: I believe the compass that Alpert gave John is the same one he showed young John. The question then is what would John having it at the next time travel prove to Richard, who says “at the next time travel I won’t recognize you, so show me this” (I paraphrase)
To Baily Loves Lost comment 133: Is it possible that the Asian woman at the beginning is Jin’s prostitute mother, and the baby is therefore JIN? I thought she looked familiar too.
To ToeKnee comment 178: You stated that no one else has seen dead people off island, besides Hurley. Does Kate seeing Claire count? Well, we don’t really know yet that she is dead, but I’m thinking she is.
To SDlost comment 187: I said the same thing about Forgurt when we first saw him last night – long before they killed him, that he was a redshirt for sure!
To Skweez comment 195: I believe that the reason Des “just remembered” the event/meeting with Dan was that it really did “just happen” in a sense. When Des consciousness traveled earlier, the entry in Dan’s book about Des being his constant wasn’t there until AFTER Des had successfully met up with Dan in the past, and BECAME his constant. In the same way, Des wouldn’t have “remembered” meeting Dan and being told to go to Oxford any sooner, because it really hadn’t “happened” yet. Clear as mud, I know.
Thanks for listening everyone!

When Boone died, Locke couldn’t move his legs. At the time, I never understood why. But in this episode, Locke gets shot in the leg at the same spot and can’t walk. No idea if we can draw any conclusion from this, as too much thinking about time travel makes me go crossed eyed.

This might sound far-fetched but what if Locke going back to the island is so that he can be brought back to life? Ben said something at the end of the episode that if the lady didn’t take care of Locke, none of what they were going to do mattered.
Perhaps Locke needs to return with the Oceanic 6 to make everything right again?

Fantastic posts everyone! It took quite awhile to read through everything but it was well worth it.
I agree that there is some link between Locke not being able to use his legs while Boone was killed and him being shot in the leg earlier. I am confident this will be explained at some point.
There was too much close-up screen play for Sawyers foot to not be important too. What did he step on? His foot looked really nasty too, like he has been running around barefoot forever. I see a nasty infection coming on soon. How or if it relates to the 4 toed statue is still a mystery to me.
As for Hurley, I still like him. He wants to do the right thing and is tortured by this lie he has been telling. His mother loves him so much and knows him so well that she knows he doesn’t lie. When he tells her this terribly confusing story, she has no idea what he is trying to tell her. All she knows is that it is the truth. No, she is NOT nuts, she just loves her son and knows she can believe him.

I like the idea that they are European soldiers from WWII. However, FWIW, I don’t think their not being French would automatically disqualify them from being in Rousseau’s group. First, Rousseau was not French herself. She SPOKE French, but she speaks English with a middle European accent.
The fact that they weren’t scientists really doesn’t mean anything either. Keamy, Omar et al were not scientists, but we would consider them part of the “team” from the freighter. Plus Naomi spoke at least four languages and other members of the team were from all over the world. For all we know, those men that were going to cut off Juliet’s hand could have been soldiers hired by Widmore to accompany Rousseau’s science team twenty years ago!
I am not saying this is the case, just adding alternate theories.
Speaking of cutting off a hand… what about “Montand’s arm?” Could these have been the same guys that did that?

I think there is a lot more going on with Sun. Showing a baby picture of her child was very strange and also saying the child was with “her grandmother” Surely, Sun would not be leaving her baby with HER mother (while she is trying to destroy her father) or Jin’s mother who abandoned him and later blackmailed Sun. So she is lying, but why?

I see what you are saying PJ but I can’t help thinking that since Rousseau was broadcasting her message in French, she was expecting to be heard by a French team, her’s, somewhere. Of course though, you are right in saying that even if the team itself was French, not everyone associated with them would necessarily also be French, and the group could also have had mercenary soldiers along with them, from ANYWHERE. However, if it turns out that they are pre-Dharma WW11, could it be that they were the ones who “found” the island and later BROUGHT Dharma (and later, Ben) there? Interesting, in any case.

When Des was time travelling he was going to his own past, which was at a different geographical location (he was in the middle of an ocean and he travelled to Oxford, etc.). Also when he travelled, his body in the ‘real time’ collapsed until he returned to the ‘real time’ from his travels. What’s going on with the people on the island is not the same kind of travel as Des went through.
Des needed a constant to realign the past time travels with real time and return to real time. Now, the losties stuck in different times also will probably need some kind of measure to find out which time they should return to, but it does not have to be a constant like in Des’s travels. These guys travel together as a group in different times without their will and seemingly with no purpose – very different from time travel we saw in the past with Des.
I also wonder if O6 do come back, then will they even be able to reunite with the losties? O6 may be back in ‘real time’, while the rest of the lsoties may be stuck in time travel they have no control over. Thus they may all be on the island but occupy different timelines… hmm…

okay. so i recorded the premier and will watch it again this weekend but here are a few commnets/thoughts (and i have read all the comments on this blog but there are SO MANY of them, i can’t guarantee i won’t repeat something (apologies in advance;)
-i think it’s pretty obvious that regardless of who else she blames, Sun blames Jack for Jin’s death too…Jack was the one that was convinced the freighter folk were going to rescue them and when Kate said she would go get Jin, Jack stopped her and made her go back to the helicopter…combine that with how strange Sun was acting during her conversation with Kate and the fact that last thing she said was ’so, how’s Jack?’ with a big old fake smile and it seems pretty obvious to me…
-i could do with a little less Hurley too, but i think it’s pretty clear he’s a VERY important part of the story, so you all might as well get used to it…there is going to be ALOT of him from here on out…
-i love the fact that Sun is all cold and secretive now…she’s become a total badass…i don’t think she’s necessarily ‘bad’ or ‘evil’ but she definitely has her own agenda now…and i think she’s ‘using’ Widmore to get whatever it is that she wants, and not necessarily ‘on his side’
-LOVED seeing Ana Lucia and Ms. Hawkins again…LOVE the idea that Miles is the Asian baby…and LOVE the idea that those guys were WWII soldiers
-can’t for the life of me figure out why Hurley would turn himself in the cops after Ana Lucia told me to NOT get arrested but i’m super curious to see what Sayid says and does next…he told Hurley not to listen to anything Ben says, so it would appear that Sayid has NO PLANS to go back to the island…
anyways, GREAT episode (although i do agree that there have been better season openers) and GREAT show…it’’s good to be LOST again…my head is still spinning from reading all the comments here and i’m amazed i can write anything even remotely coherant…;)

I also think that Whitmore is the other guy she blames, not Ben. As I said, I find it strange that she just happens to call Kate out of the blue, years after they have seen each other last, and it happens to be right after Kate is approached by lawyers from a “secret” client, and right after Sun’s meeting with Whitmore. SOmething is fishy there.

I think Ana Lucia told him that b/c she’s speaking for the island – as are Ms. Hawking and Ben, they’re trying to get the people back. The dead people that show up to talk to real people are the island communicating – like when Ben’s mom showed up to him back in the Dharma days, and when Hurley was seeing his friend in slippers.

The stick said something like “lift up your eyes and look north” followed by “John 3:05.” Interestingly, John 3:5 is anything near this quote (something similar appears in Genesis).

A couple of ideas:
1. (a)They need to all go back to the island to put time back on its normal course (aka ‘course correct’). (b)Similar to an earlier post about everyone being someone else’s constant. If they don’t see their constant they will die. I only saw one post in response to this theory… Any thoughts?
2. Hilarious to think they might have built the 4-toed statue in honor of Sawyer (if he ends up losing a toe from the splinter). Maybe some natives find him and think he’s a god. I think that is from Ace Ventura or Priates of the Carribean or some Futurama episode.
All speculation. Good to see everyone back on here… It was DEAD for the last 8 months.

No need to be quiet, Rita! You have some awesome ideas that really make me think, as do many of the other posters!
What you are saying is totally possible. Do we know what time frame we are in when this happens? They were skipping around so much, I lost track of time. The soldiers could be scared half to death and fearing for their own lives, who knows what they saw or who they have encountered?
Also in your post #256, I agree that Sun was acting like she was blaming Kate for Jin’s death. She turned it around at the end but I think she harbors resentment towards Kate. At this point, Sun is NOT to be trusted.

I see Hurley as good hearted but not a great thinker – he so badly wants to do the right thing, but doesn’t always know what that is. He is caught between trusting Sayid and trusting his own gut. Sayid said to do the opposite of what Ben tells him, so rather than go with Ben, he thinks he needs to do something that will definitely PREVENT him from going with Ben – so off to the cops it is. (He doesn’t trust Ana Lucia because she is part of the visions to him, the part that might be crazy).
As for Sayid never planning on going back to the island, I don’t think we can say that yet – it might be a case of “I sold my soul to the devil, but don’t you do the same” when he warned Hurley to not listen to Ben.

I like the idea that Jin may be Dr. Candle’s son! Maybe Jin and his mother had to leave the island for some reason when he was still young. The whole story of his mother being a prostitute was an excuse for her abandonment of Jin.??
What was the man’s name who Hurley was searching for in Australia? The man’s widow did say that he was on a military mission that messed him up. Was he and the crazy man who repeated the numbers in the psychiatric ward together on the island? maybe pushing numbers??
Well, the widow said something about when he came home a lot of bad things happened. That is why they moved out there to get away from everyone. Even the bad luck was happening to her. Could this be the same thing that is happening to the 06ers??
I like the Christian Shephard going to the island in a coffin and now Locke may be brought back in a coffin. Is Christain Jacob? Will Locke become the new Jacob??
I know the Losties are skipping in time now, but how can Des be back too (in the hatch)? Does that mean everyone who was on the island more than three yrs ago are still alive or on the island somewhere? i.e. Patchy! The skipping in time is confussing me. Everytime they skip, is it always back to the same time period?

I do think that whatever you are touching directly moves too. Maybe after one move it just automaticaly keeps moving as well. It has to be something like that because Locke has to be able to keep the compass.
The only thing that intrigued me about that was that Alpert told Locke to give him the compass to “prove” to him that he was who he is. Since Alpert knows all about the island’s abilities, you would think that it would be enough for Locke to tell him “hey, you told me to talk to you when the island was in a different time”. Unless, of course, there was a time when Alpert did NOT know about the island’s abilities, and Locke will at some point end up in that time frame. Maybe we’ll finally find out who Alpert is and where he came from.

This got me thinking back to the device that Faraday’s team disabled when they first landed on the island. Faraday said the device would kill everyone on the island, and it’s assumed that ben would have used this device to target Keamy’s men. Could it be possible that the device was sort of like an energy bomb that would have sent everyone on the island into a time limbo(like the one the losties are in now) until they died of the time sickness(or had been killed by older inhabitants) while floating through time? This would have certainly eliminated Keamy and possibly killed the islanders as was said.
And if this is the case, it may explain why the others like cindy and the kids were sent to the “temple”, which could have served as a sort of bomb shelter from an energy blast… if they are still in the temple, they would not be affected by the moving of the island, the purple sky, or the device and the resulting time disruption

Here is how I understand it… our survivors (Juliet, Sawyer, Rose, Bernard, Daniel, Miles, Charlotte, possibly a redshirt or two that has yet to be killed off) and Locke are moving in time. After each “purple sky event” or flash, the survivors are in a different time ON the island.
The first time, the flash moved back in time to when Yemi’s plane first crashed, before O815 crashed. Likely somewhere in the late 1990’s.
The second time, the flash moved the survivors forward to a time AFTER they had crashed on the island because the hatch had already imploded.
The third time, the flash moved them back to a time before they discovered the hatch, when Desmond was still down in the hatch. Since Desmond said he had been pushing the “bloody button” for three years, we have to put that as somewhere between 2001 and the time the LOSTies discovered the hatch.
The fourth time, the flash moved them to an as-yet-unspecified time when they are pelted with flame arrows and later confronted by the three men with questionable accents and militaryish uniforms.
Each time the people shift to a different TIME on the island and whatever time that is, the people who WERE there at that time will still BE there. D&C have alluded to the fact that no one will be running into former versions of themselves, but that might ONLY apply to Desmond’s type of travel where he moves consciousness to times in HIS OWN LIFE.
Now, that does NOT address “where” the island went. We saw that ripple effect in the water, but what does that mean. Perhaps the “radius” that Daniel mentioned has to do with the “snow globe” idea that Desmond once said. Perhaps there is some kind of shield-like sphere of protection which prevents the island from being seen. D&C said that you can’t see it on radar or satellite. Maybe the fail-safe key “purple sky event” removed that shield and it took “moving the island” to put it back up again. Putting up that shield might mean releasing all that energy which is what tears the fabric of time.
Curiouser and curiouser.

So is the island really LOST in the physical sense or in time???
Was the freighter inside the radius of the island when the purple sky happened?
If they move forward in time, could it be themselve or their people who after them now?
I just wonder how Locke is traveling back and forth from the island to the 06ers to get them to come back. I guess we will see that in upcoming episodes.
So in real time with O6 it has been three yrs since the rescue, but on the island we are watching what is happening right after the island moved. Why are we ahead with the O6 and behind or present with the Losties???

Interesting timeline analysis. All this time variance boggles the mind. I believe the reason we’re not seeing O6er’s and Losties at same point in time yet is because the 3 years will be revealed over the course of the rest of the show. The incident with the flame throwers being just one example. I’ve thought for awhile now the series will return to one timeline as it draws to a close.

Given that Sawyer showed Juliet that the smoke was gone, I would have to guess that the freighter was NOT inside the radius. The question remains that if Jin survived the explosion, could he have managed to swim far enough away from the freighter to be inside the radius?

I think it is just a story-telling device / license. We saw flash-forwards last season which took us up to about the end of 2007 or early 2008. We have seen what happens to the O6 during that three years. The timeline for “real time” off island stuff seemed to start there this season, but we’re still seeing flashbacks to the beginning of their off-island time.
There were no flash-forwards for those who remained on the island. I suspect that it really won’t MATTER “what time” they are in anyway because it changes. But yes, in their perspective, the helicopter just left and the freighter just exploded.
Doesn’t make it any easier does it!? LOL

So far I’m loving the idea of the island skipping through time. I believe we will see how the Black Rock ended up there. I also think we will see some of the people who were on the ship. In my opinion Widmore was the captain of the Black Rock. This would explain why he bought the journal at auction and has the painting in his bedroom. It would also explain his old school attitude about respect and why he was upset that Sun approached him in that manner. I think he believes it to be his island b/c he thinks he “discovered” it when his ship crashed there.

This is a good question. The O6 could no longer see the freighter so we would assume it was in the radius but Sawyer pointed out it could not be seen from the island. If it waa in the radius and Jin was touching it it should have moved with them. This would indicate Jin had jumped off just before the island moved. That would leave Jin alive in the water and the freighter gone.

Just rewatched the premiere and I have some new thoughts/questions:
1. Hurley told Sayid that he will not help him if he ever needs anything because he’s making him lie.
2. Dr. Candle’s record player seems just like the one that Juliet had at her house. Maybe her old house was his prior to the purge.
3. In the butcher shop, Ben pulls #342 and has a brief discussion with Jill. He tells her that he needs her to watch something for him and her reply is “Is it what I think it is?” Then Ben asks if “Gabriel & Jeffrey have checked-in yet?” Who are these people?
4. Ms. Hawkins is working on a very old computer that is similar to the dharma computer in the hatch.
5. Both Dr. Candle and Ms. Hawkings say “God help us all”.

A few things i was thinking about

2. It seems arrows were prominent in the episodes. Pierre filming the Arrow Vid, flaming arrows, Richard telling John the compass points north..possible to the Arrow
3. Is there an anagram for the law firm Agostini and Norton.
4. I think the nose bleeds are going to be important. When we first saw Horace his nose was bleeding, he worked at the Arrow. Now Charlotte, maybe she worked at the Arrow at some other time.
5. I did some research on the type of gun the guys had and it seems it was the standard infantry rifle issued to US troops from 1936 to 1963.

If you watch that show again, I believe the show is actually a simultaneous flash forward and flash back. Jin’s storyline is a flashback to his early years of working for Mr.Paik and Sun’s storyline is a flash forward after the O6 has been rescued and she is given birth. She calls out for her husband Jin but it seems that in the agony of childbirth and possibly the pain medication she thinks for a moment that he is still alive. The entire episode leads you to believe that Jin is rushing to Sun’s side until the very end when they through the twist at you which is why it is confusing. There is a later scene, I think in a later episode, when Hurley comes to visit Sun and they take the baby to visit Jin’s grave. Hope that helps!

However (finishing my thought), I suspect it is MORE likely that Widmore didn’t have anything to do with Nadia’s death, but that Ben seized an opportunity to frame him. I thought it was odd that Sayid would trust Ben of all people, with nothing more than a traffic-cam photo as evidence.

I’m late to the game, and I only read up to comment 300-something. So… Me… Off my game, but… In the last scene, I thought Ben said (in the church scene with Fionnula Flanagan,) “Are you Annie Locke?” Obviously, from comments here and on other sites, and Fionnula Flangan’s IMDB page, I’m wrong. I’ve got no problem being wrong, and I’m going to watch it again, but did anyone else hear, “Are you Annie Locke?” in that final scene? I’m having a hard time with, “Annie Locke,” and, “Mrs. Hawking”, sounding the same.
Either way, I’m going to re-watch the premiere and will be happily surprised if I catch my error. :D

I am new to this site, but I have to say it’s nearly unavoidable that Locke is still alive, comatose from the spider venom.
Directly after Jack asks if he’s actually dead (Ben doesn’t answer), it switches right to Hugo’s dad watching Expose. That’s too obvious. Locke is alive.
Comment 323, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
Maybe this is too obvious, but I don’t remember anyone specifically mentioning it, so I’ll go ahead and do it. The guys in Sayid’s safe house shot him with a tranquilizer gun, and that makes me think they’re part of Ben’s team – they were there to capture Sayid so he can be brought to the island. And to take this a step further, this must mean the guy outside of Santa Rosa whom Sayid killed last season was probably also part of Ben’s team, waiting to get Hurley out of there to bring him to the island too.

I can buy that. But two things make me think he really is dead:
1. Alpert says to Locke that he’s going to have to die in order to get the O6 to come back to the island. Alpert didn’t say he’ll have to fake his death.
2. For him to be alive, the funeral home would have to be in on the hoax too. Otherwise, the funeral home would have embalmed his body. Although, I suppose it’s possible that the funeral home is in on it.
3.the effect of the spider’s bite only last for a few hours. So to maintain this hoax, Ben would have to routinely stop by to have another spider bite Locke. Possible, of course, but a bit far-fetched, IMHO.

With all of the ‘Time Jumping’, Bens’ butcher friend in LA probably knew he was coming at a certain time and ‘took care’ of Nadia, so Ben could recruit Sayid – ultimately to get him back to the island. Makes sense that the safe house ambush was part of Team-Ben corraling Sayid, once he strayed from his earlier recruitment.

I agree it seems far-fetched, but the show thrives on that.
1. I think that Alpert’s comment would work either way. Locke “died” to the O6 in order to get them to come back. Death was the only way to move them to action.
2. It’s clearly a low-budget funeral home that Ben/the Others could’ve used as part of the hoax.
3. As I recall, the spider bite lasted for quite a while, and I’m sure a concentrated dose would have longer effects. One could probably harvest the venom to use as a weapon.
The only other option is that the writers are trying to trick us into thinking that by placing the show directly after that conversation, which is always a possibility!

Love reading all the comments, though my head is officially spinning! I didn’t think I’d go back to LOST, because of all the deaths of fav characters, but I did, and I have to say I liked it loads. Tho I’m still upset reg. Charlie. Eh, life goes on, in one form or another, and apparently some afterlife as well.
Just a few comments–no theories!
1.Locke-shot–leg collapse in the past/future: Oh, that is good! I got a chill when I read that one
2.Whispers–awesome re: echoes of time-traveling folks
3.Redshirt blaze-o-glory flameout–well, you could see it coming, but it was still funny, in that dastardly sick way. Love Rose & Bernard, but hopefully they will have more story and less bicker-banter, more loving-amusing-bicker banter. They’re great characters, don’t mess!!!!
4.Time-travel–even when you do it well, and it eventually kinda makes sense, it’s confusing, so I reserve judgment. As long as it keeps its own logic, I’m good. We got one rule–you can’t change the past. So who died, is dead, boo hoo. But if you time travel to the ‘past’, you could do something in the past and still not be changing anything, since you, uh, already did it, just not YET. So Daniel talking to Des, can be seen in that light, but Sawyer knocking got nowhere.
5.4 toed statue–LOL re Sawyer and the ‘lost’ toe. That is so awesome and funny. We’ll see!
6.And I do love Hurley–I thought he came back into his own these eps. Sun, she’s definitely playing Kate. Whidmore–love, love, love the Black Rock captain idea. And Jack, I’m afraid he’s doomed to be the next Jacob. If he isn’t already. Jack short for… Well, y’all probably went there already. : )
Y’all are pretty amazing! Thanks for all the fun theory to digest. Cheers.

I am new to the site. We still need to see when and how Locke tries to convince the 6 survivors to come back to the island. What was his ALIAS?

Anyone else notice the Promo photo of Hurley on this site has him standing with black shirt on in front of plane wreckage…(now at the top portion before you click to get into this section)…
AND;
the trees in the background are not like any on the island and don’t look tropical at all?
Is this just some mistake by the photo team?
Or does it mean something?
It looks mire like he’s in Northern California or even further north.
Personally I’m hoping Hurley makes it back to the island into a time zone where there are cannibals and they have him over for a big feast.
If you were in a lifeboat I’m sure you’d have to kill Hurley just to get your fair share of provisions to survive. Hurley has acted like a little scared girl for me once too often…I’m rooting for him to be gone asap. Just like I don’t miss Charlie and his awful music and sad puppy dog demeanor.
I like the men who act like men. Even the bad ass ones.
Ben looks better all the time; he is a man on a Mission and sees past good and bad to do what must be done. His face shows that he does not like injustice (as when his daughter is killed).
Sayid has shown himself to be WAY OFF as when he tortured Sawyer when he already promised himself NEVER to do that again.
The Doc is looking better now that he seems to have his own mission again. Bet he and Freckles finally hook up; seems inevitable.
Where did Freckles get that stash of money?
She been hitting banks again?
Or did the Airlines pay her off?
But why wouldn’t the Police want to know what the hell happened to the guy who had Freckles in custody?
Doesn’t add up that she’s free now. Hope they write in some dialogue to clear that up because it’s a HUGE hole in the plot for me.
Sawyer is the best with the cute names for people; wonder what he’d call himself now? Gimpy? Tenderfoot? Red-foot Redneck?
I guess Miles knew how long that dead animal he brought to camp was because he can communicate with the dead?
That sure was a weird flaming arrow attack on the Losties; but why FLAMING arrows? That seemed silly.
Oh so Hollywood. They sure were some bad shots too. And where to hell did they get bows? Bows are not easy to make; you need particular woods and even arrows need a lot of skill to make; and they were shooting them off willy nilly. Pretty fake.
Hell of a lot easier to pick up rocks and throw them.
And easier still to wait until everyone’s asleep to attack.
So very Hollywood.

I’m not sure if anyone else has corrected this yet, but the problem is not giving birth on the island, it is concepting on the island! That’s why Ben wanted Kate & Sawyer to hook up, why they were searching for their pregnant women like Sun! So if Miles was just born, not concepted on the island, he would be like Aaron.

These are the important things I checked/noticed regarding the first 2 eps.
First it’s not TOM who gets killed by Locke. His name tag says something like “Matten…” and he looks nothing like Tom, so thats out.
The old lady hawkings is looking for the island and finds it somewhere near Australia, someone above mentioned Tunisia, I dont know where you got that from, you’re off by half the planet.
The map hawkings looks at on her pc also shows other locations for the island, we can see that the island move not only in time but also in space. The island ventures close to the poles sometimes, which explains the polar bears on the island.
The beer in Episode 1 says : Jekyll Island Red Brew.
Jekyll Island is Georgia beach vacation destination, but im not sure that has anythign to do with georgia.
The group that’s on the island is moving thru time and is usually 3 years behind the people that are on land in LA. When Des wakes up he had just been talking to Faraday in the past 3 years ago.
Also Desmond is waiting for his replacement, he asks faraday if he’s the replacement, which means that the old geezer that Kelvin had already died at that point..
Sun was not sent to LA by Widmore like someone suggested, she was on her way there when Widmore intercepted her at the airport. Sun was also calling someone from her cellphone at the airport and that person didnt pick up, who could it be?
Sun shows a picture of her baby to Kate, is it because the baby doesnt not grow up, unless it’s on the island? Was sun’s baby born on the island? i forgot.
if so maybe that means that the baby is always bound to island time, which means the baby cannot grow, it stays the same age unless it’s on the island.
People born on the island have special powers, like miles for example. and like Richard. Richard too does not age, that is, he stays constant to “Island time”, so basically he does age, but relative to the others who are moving thru time, he stays of constant age. (he meets ben as a child then again later, same with locke).
Richard also tells locke when he finds him that he didnt go anywhere after the flash, he tells john that only HE did. So richard doesnt not move thru time at all like the others do, his time is bound to that of the island. He’s a constant to it.
Also th compass he gives john does not point north at all, when we get a look at it it seems to point west.
And one last thing, I noticed that the young soldier that catches Sawyer and juliet’s name tag is JONES.
That could be John Simon Jones who later becomes a the travel agent sending people to the island, in one of the episodes.
It could also possibly be Locke’s great uncle. We know that Locke’s great aunts name was beatrice Jones.
Just a thought..

Sorry but your are wrong, many women conceived on the island…then died giving premature birth.
In fact, I think it is why the Others were beginning to have a falling out with Ben. IMO the reason the women were have the problem is because Ben took over this island AND his mom died while giving premature birth to him….seems that the Others were growing impatient with Ben’s inability to fix the problem. And seems the island was ‘punishing’ the Others for following Ben.
Also, Sun conceived on the island.

My only problem with this logic (the show’s not yours) is why is the boat considered “with them when they moved” and the kitchenette isn’t?
Regarding this , it’s pretty simple really. Things that were “built” AFTER the time frame they are in obviously wont be there , it hasnt been built yet.
But the boat was. The boat WAS built before that point in that so it’s still there.
That’s all..

Regarding the Time line , i think that’s pretty straight forward too.
When the island disappeared it went approximately 3 years into the past. While the Ocean 6 are in the present relatively speaking.
So there’s a 3 year difference between the 2 groups.
But relatively to us the viewers, its all happening at the same time, in the present.

It’s not about when they wore them, it’s about when the clothes/objects were made. Those clothes had been made way before the plane crash itself. So at that point in time the clothes existed already, but not the tents.
Faraday explicitly asks for “man made objects or things” in episode 1. Those things have had to be made before the time they are in for them to be there logically.
The clothes and the boat had already been in existence prior to the time they are in.

So there’s a 3 year gap between them, relatively to us. one group is still where they left them and the other is 3 years down the line.
Which is what i was saying.
And when Faraday spoke to Desmond he created a new memory that Desmond “remembered” 3 years later in his bed.
But in fact those events happened simultaneously.

The truth is that to be TRUE to the timeline, the scene where we saw Desmond wake up from the dream/memory SHOULD have happened while Desmond et al were still on the life raft. Since it didn’t, we have to accept that Desmond “remembered” the dream three years after it happened.
The good news, I think, is that the on-island survivors aren’t jumping around in time for three years *from their perspective* while they wait for Desmond to have that dream/memory.

I said that I wanted to see Mrs. Hawking’s map more closely to see if Tunisia or Australia were targeted. Tunisia is one of the places where odd things have happened. A polar bear skeleton was found there. Ben “woke up” there after turning the FDW. It is also known as being a place where there are magnetic anomalies.

This season is going to be awesome!
1. Dr. Candle!!! Woohoo!!!!
2. Am I crazy or was that Sun and Jack together and they have a baby? Did anyone else think that?
3. The rules, the rules, the rules…. I think figuring out “the rules” is going to be a big part of this season. This is part of some overall larger “game.” So, “the rules” have to do with the time travel? Didn’t Alpert say the rules don’t apply to Locke? I still want to know how and why Widmore “changed the rules.” How and why does Alpert know the rules? So, Widmore, Ben, and Alpert know the rules. I suppose Jacob does too. Hmmmmm….
4. Did Ben decide to move the island since Widmore changed the rules? The rules changed, so now the effects of moving the island are irrelevant and meaningless to Ben? I wonder if Ben really cares about protecting the island. He’s just out to get Widmore and or win “the game.”
5. I hope Charlotte has a constant.
6. Should be real interesting to see how Ben manages to get Sun, Sayid, and Hurley back to the island. Did Widmore change the rules once again, since whatever Ben’s plan is seems to have been foiled in at least one aspect by Hurley’s arrest?
7. Why did Des kept having “flashes,” in the previous seasons, i.e. Charlie’s deaths in “Flashed Before Your Eyes,” and the other losties didn’t?
8. Charlotte can’t remember her mom’s maiden name? Okay, so who is Charlotte a half-sister to?

Hey – I am new to this site – but have been a reader for a while now. You guys are GREAT!
Here’s my thought – flight 815 crashes with all of our favorite characters – (who’s lives have all been intertwined in various ways) and a coffin carrying Christian Shepard. Now we’re trying to find a way to get John Locke’s coffin and the O6 back to the island.
Maybe the crash of 815 was a similar quest. Maybe there was a group of people who had left the island and they “had to come back” just like our “losties” are doing now!
I hope that makes sense…

Regarding Faraday:
When Sawyer goes to knock on the door to the hatch – Faraday says “if it didnt happen – it can’t happen” then after everyone leaves, he goes to the door and bangs on it and Desmond comes out — So clearly Faraday has knocked on the door before…
He also tells Desmond to go back to “where we met” – when he tells him to go to Oxford.
What if Faraday put his “constant” on the island purposely, by toying with the weather (from the Hawking as mother nature post above)during the boatrace?
Also – Not sure if this came up – but Faraday doesnt age either. He looked exactly the same back when they were building the Orchid.

Also, in Daniel’s first flashback, we see him crying while watching the footage of the faux O815 on the ocean floor, but he tells the woman with him that he doesn’t know why he is so upset. Could this be because subconsciously he knows what really happened because he has already been there, but doesn’t remember time-traveling there?

Few things after re-watching the show.
1. In the beginning we see the woman tell the man to get the BABY, not him or her. We also never see the man’s face, although we are led to believe that it is the dr. who walks into the studio later on. Could the baby actually be Sun?
2. Before we see the Islanders for the first time there is a screen caption that says “three years earlier”. I think that is a pretty strong indicator that we are seeing the Islanders three years back, not in the same time that the O6 are. I think this season we’ll see what the O6 are doing in the 70 hour span that they have between now and them returning to the island. At the same time we’ll see what happened to the Islanders in the three years since the O6 left.
3. Faraday tells Juliett “we are, your people are not” when explaining to Sawyer that they are moving through time on the way to the hatch.
4. Talking about time jumping.
Sawyer: How can we stop it?
Faraday: We can’t.
Sawyer: Then who can?
No answer.
Later Faraday tells Desmond that he is special and the only one who can help them.
5. Hurley asks Sayid why he killed the guy outside of the asylum. Sayid says that he is “not taking any risks after Locke died”. Does that mean Locke was killed and it was made to look like suicide?
6. Very iffy on Sun nowadays. She shows up just as KAte goes on the run. It is also pretty obvious that they have not kept in touch or seen each other in the last three years. (Sun shows Kate picture of baby AND tells her the babies name- something Kate would have known if they had stayed in touch). After Kate tells her about her problem Sun asks: Wouldn’t you do anything to keep Aaron? Kate replies: What kind of person do you think I am? Sounds to me like Sun was seeing if she could recruit Kate for something.

Just saw a rerun of the new episodes tonite;
Man, they are really pushing this series bigtime.
Another point about how dumb as rocks Hurley is;
He’s on the run and doesn’t even change his looks except to buy a shirt that the gal at check out can later tell the cops about;
a distinctive design with a Chiwawa (or some other little doggie)!
Not haircut, or even pulling back that horrid mess into a ponytail, no sunglasses, no hat….
Oh yeah; He hates “to lie”….ha.
And he’s stupid enough to hang out over the railing at the safe house holding a weapon everyone to see…and think he’s been the killer.
Dumbsville. OK, just have some more “comfort food”.
And when Ben shows up in the kitchen he throws the burrito at the wall like a 10 year little sissy.
I just saw the writers on TV saying he’s central to the series?
They may lose me as a viewer soon.
My friend who has been really in to LOST has just said the same.
More Albert, more Sun, more Sawyer, more Miles, hell, more Polar bear…anyone but that Hurley.

Hammer,
Remember at that point we are around the time when Desmond had recently arrived to the island he’s still wearing the suit. Also At that point Yemi’s plane hasn’t crashed yet either, it crashes a little later in front of Locke.
And we know that these events happen before the Oceanic plane crash. Which is why the actual oceanic wreckage isnt there at that point in time.
Keep in mind that time travel is full of paradoxes not to mention impossible. You wont find easy answers, this is just the way they wrote the story. :)

“The truth is that to be TRUE to the timeline, the scene where we saw Desmond wake up from the dream/memory SHOULD have happened while Desmond et al were still on the life raft. Since it didn’t, we have to accept that Desmond “remembered” the dream three years after it happened.”
This is why im saying that there’s a 3 yr gap.
Because desmond remembers it when he does. (3yrs later, while it just happened 3 yrs earlier)
I beleive the timeline is correct, although i do see your point, you’re making sense.
But Desmond remembers this event right after his memory was formed. (which is present island time, and 3 yrs later off-island time)
Similar thing happen with desmond/faraday with the whole eloise thing last season.
After desmond “traveled” to the past and spoke to young faraday, the old faraday (in the present) remembered the event and found it in his notes (note regarding desmond “was formed” in the present
At the end of the day, it’s all relative to each party. There are 3 timeline perspectives here. Ours (the viewer’s) the island’s and the O6’s.
We the viewers are looking down at a paper with 2 dots on a line, the dots being the off and on island group. those dots are moving at the same time to us looking at it, one of them is moving at a constant normal speed straight forward(the O6) and the other (on-island group) keeps moving around all over that line. So it’s all relative to each perspective.
In any case, this issue isnt that important, i mean that isnt going to help us figure out too much whats going on there, we know that time travel is there.
We need to know why and how, whats special Richard and Walt, and miles, who’s hawkings, what is “the plan” and why do ben and widmore have so much beef, what exactly did Sawyer step on and why is it important, this is what i want to know, among a million other things haha :D

I think that its a very important detail. Her nose bleed is the cue. It triggers something for Faraday who realizes he can make a change at that point, which is why he runs to his bag and pull out the notes.
-its possible that her nose bleed is due to the lack of a constant? is this why he sends Desmond to his mom? Then that would mean that there’s a connection between Charlotte, The mom, and Faraday.
As far as faraday aging, i think he does. Those who dont age (like richard) dont time travel either.
We know that faraday does time travel (during the purple sky events) so he does age.
I think he was the same age at the orchid because he succeeded in time traveling there. but we’ll know more about this later.

Which is logical of course, I think thats pretty straight forward.
Touching something doesnt make any common sense from a physics point of view, or otherwise.
And if that were true then most of the camp would still be there cause a lot of people were in the camp (like rose who was in the church), and the whole camp disapeared while people were in it and “touching” it.
No logic there..

Something you said sparked a thought for me: You’re right, they obviously didn’t stay in touch or Sun would not have to be telling Kate what the baby’s name is. So, if they were THAT far out of touch, why does Sun just ASSUME that Kate would know how Jack is? How does Sun know that Kate and Jack are together? There was something weird about WHEN AND HOW Sun asked Kate about Jack. Sun is definitely up to something, and it has to do with Jack.

I’ve given this idea some thought and can’t help thinking that this would just leave too much to chance: Even if Widmore didn’t go with his group, in order to plant the fake plane and then clear the island with his mercs before coming himself (reasonable plan), you have to have Desmond off killing Kelvin at just the right moment (so he is late pushing the button, which brings the plane – with the “group” in it), but you also run a lot of risk introducing all the extra people (our heros + all the red shirts). On the other hand, Widmore DOES seem arrogant enough to discount the effects of the extra people, but what about Desmond? Is he really in with Widmore?

I think there is something here, we just havn’t gotten to the bottom of it yet. Perhaps someone who is dead can find the island, or comunicate with it. I always felt that Christian had been there before. Widmore would be like Ben, Christian and Locke play the same roles in returning. When Ben turned the donkey wheele he had tole Locke that whoever moves the island can never return. That may be what Widmore thought. Now Ben is trying anyway?

OK, I have come up with a simple way to explain why Desmond dosn’t remember to go to Mrs. Hawkins untill 2008.
If 2004 Daniel had told Desmond to go then he, Desmond, could remember it in 2004.
Since 2008 Daniel time traveled and told Desmond in 2001-04 he, Desmond, couldn’t remember it until 2008 Daniel actualy existed. Otherwise it could never happen.
This could be a part of explaining the rules and why Alex couldn’t/shouldn’t be killed. Perhaps someone had traveled to the future and she had been there. If her future self affected the current, or the past, then she had to stay alive or risk not being there to find.

[b]Hmmm..[/b]
We can agree to disagree on this one.
But here’s a few things to consider.
First, I think that you cannot use desmond as an example, he comes back where he left off, same time frame. So nothing should have happened there.
He only traveled mentally (his consciousness traveled like eloise).
Desmond traveled multiple times after that, and he wasnt naked every time. :)
And Second, you just killed your own theory here, based on what you believe if he was touching his clothes they shouldn’t have disappeared!
So that sorta eliminates the touching theory.
And as far as knifes go, just like the clothes they existed prior to that time, they weren’t build/created after that event, so no reason they wouldnt be there. They are likely from the island, from Ben’s camp..
Anyhow, I really dont see the logic of touching something from a physics stand point, it really doesnt make any sense. But obviously if you built something in the future it wont exist yet the the past. Faraday does say that the camp isnt there cause it wasnt built yet.
The camp disappeared when some of the houses/church had people in it. Just like the zodiac did. ;)
You ask why the zodiac is there?
I ask you , why are the losties there!
After all the plane hasnt crashed yet remember?
There’s a limit to how far you can go with time travel paradoxes.

It’s as simple as that. The memory was implanted in his head at a certain point and he remembers it right away although he’s living in a different time frame.
If you go too deep in thoughts you go into a loop of confusion. Because then you can argue that Desmond actually met Faraday when we has in the Scottish regimen, thats when he went to oxford to meet a certain professor faraday the first time, in 1996. So when he opened the hatch door , he would have remembered him.
As you see, we’d go into an infinite loop of confusion with this. We gotta take the simplest explanation to move forward with the plot.
And that explanation is, He told faraday, memory was created, and immediately Desmond remembers it altho he’s physically 3 yrs ahead.

Well I finally got to watch the episodes on Thursday, and have been too busy with work to read up and comment until today. Lots of good stuff and bad stuff (to me) and definitely lots of comedy, (intentional and unintentional).
Anyway, I don’t have much to add at this point but I will mention these things:
1) PJ, I’m going to print up a T-shirt with Charlie’s image on it, similar to the multicolored images of Pres. Obama, with the word HOPE underneath it.
2) Toeknee I think Michael sees dead Libby twice also.
3) There will definitely be some unavoidable inconsistencies with the time travel paradox. We just have to accept them and roll with the punches/storyline. A great example is Serbian’s point about Desmond recognizing Daniel when he opens the hatch based on their 1996 meeting. Maybe these things can be explained but I’m thinking it will get chalked up to island mystery.
4) I think island is moving through time and space. The island disappeared when the folks on the helicopter were looking at it. Someone also pointed out how the drug running plane (bcuz of its size) could not have possibly flown from Africa to Australia, so the island had moved to a point where it suddenly crashed. If it weren’t moving in space, it wouldn’t have disappeared, and Whidmore would have a general idea of where it is at this point.
5) 2 dudes Ben asks Jill the butcher could possibly be the dudes sent to spook Kate. (Unless you’re living in NYC, and even that I’m sketchy about, who goes to a butcher shop to get meat? How is that place surviving in this economy?)
6) Love how Kate just barely rolls into the gas station and shuts the engine off. What in the world? You can’t pull into a parking spot?
7) Place where Hurley gets pulled over by Ana is different from the place he leaves from (parking spot paint on the street before but not after) maybe that suggests that he was imagining it?
Good stuff folks, good to see the old “faces” and some new “faces” posting after this long hiatus.

Dont get me wrong, its very confusing !
I agree with you on that, the raft being there although its prior to the crash doesnt make common sense you’re right, but neither does the fact that the losties are there since the plane hasnt cashed yet. And so many other things get confusing at that point if you think about them too hard. Like the desmond thing and so many others.
Time travel is the most confusing paradoxical event ever.
If I was to travel back in time and kill my own Grandfather before he fathered my father, would I ever come to exist? More importantly if I didn’t exist, who went back and killed my Grandfather?
There’s no straight forward solution for this, even quantum physisist cant give you answers there. They’ll tell you that if you had travelled in the past your sheer existence there would change the world drastically, so much so that you would detach from your previous universe and go into a parallel one. But that discussion is for another time and a place :)
we need to take the simplest explanation to go with the plot. Which ever you choose if fine, i dont think that is so important as far as the plot goes. We have so many other things to figure out. Like the relationship between all the people and how the all know each other.
Here’s one for you:

For now, I write this off as she has done some time traveling in advance and knows what’s going to happen. Here’s why I think that:

Alpert comment to Locke ‘well you are about to’ tell him that Locke was shot implied that he’s been there before and knew what to do to keep Locke going. Ms. Hawking knew to be at the jewelry shop to stop Des. But most important…Ben was in the future and ‘knew’ Keamy wouldn’t kill Alex…dun, dun, dun….but he DID. Which is the big rule breaker that has sent the island into a tizzy. Ben’s lack of focus because Widmore ‘broke the rules’ let the innocents die on the freighter, let several folks off the island that were not supposed to leave and has endangered ‘us all’.

i think its easy to assume now that jin is dead. the freighter was definitley outside of the radius as they had to follow the co ordinates coreectly to enter the island, jin therefore could have jumped off but he could not have swam into the radius on the correct co ordinates in the time it took for the island to move. As it is unlikely that this happened he must have drowned even if he did make it off the boat, this does however leave it open to jin possibly making it back to the real world as the island is moved he is back in the normal world.

Okay I’ve been working on this one a little. I think may be alive and is skipping around in time apart from the group like Locke is. He may have made it into the radius. The reason I came up with this is two fold. First Damon said the clip show before the premiere that Sun ‘believes’ her husband is dead…ponderous. Second, was Dan’s question, is everyone in your group accounted for? Sawyer left out Claire, who we are lead to believe surived the blast and just walked away with Christian. But this left me thinking that if Locke is skipping around, just in a different location on the island, then maybe Jin is doing the same. I mean, Bernard and Rose are NOW doing it too because they separated from Sawyer and Juliette.

VERY INTERESTING idea! That plot thickens…. What would happen to the lie if Jin should show up? But it’s been three years off island, so if he is alive THERE, he either doesn’t know who he is (amnesia) or is being kept prisoner somewhere (by whom? Does Sun know? Is that REALLY where Ji is?). It doesn’t seem likely that he would be alive ON the island, because if the freighter didn’t go with the island’s move, no way Jin did either. So, if Jin IS alive (and somehow, I think he is), where is he then?

I’ve been wondering about this too. They couldn’t see the freighter from the island any more either (they HAD been able to see the smoke before the move – Sawyer commented on it) so I guess I had just thought it didn’t move with them. The helicopter was a lot closer to the island than the freighter was when the island moved, but it didn’t go with the move. If we’re going with the “had to be touching” idea, then the freighter COULD have gone, even if the heli didn’t, because it was “touching” the water (as was the island) but the heli wasn’t? Back to the original question – where is Jin??

So far we only know about the horizontal radius, no mention of the vertical ’snow globe’ radius. So even if the chopper was closer, maybe it was out of the grasp of the islands movement because it was in the air.

It’s a Charlie thing I am sure, but I really want Jin to be alive, so yes, I am trying to figure out ways to make sure he is. I like the framework that Rita and Circus Mom started and Hammer has worked with.
The freighter WAS inside the radius, it would seem. This makes sense because those in the helicopter didn’t see the wreckage after the flash.
So let’s say Jin jumped, the freighter WAS inside the radius, but because no one but Jin (and perhaps a redshirt or two) was alive and he wasn’t ON the freighter, the freighter disappeared. Even if the freighter DIDN’T disappear, the black smoke trailing up WOULD HAVE disappeared because of the time jump (and that is all Juliet and Sawyer could see anyway).
Okay, so the logic exists that Jin moved in time WITH Daniel, the redshirts on the zodiac and all the island folk. So Jin starts swimming ashore (we know he is a good swimmer, he swam from the wreckage of the raft) and the sky flashes. To HIM nothing changes because all he can see is water and the island. The sky flashes a few more times, still only water and island. Finally, he gets ashore – only the beach is littered with flaming arrows. What does he do? Well who knows, but as far as I am concerned, it could take all season for him to find Sawyer and the gang, so I will continue to hold out hope for Jin.

i still think that the pregnancy conception issues happened before the purge, the only example to even slightly confirm would be rousseau who was able to give birth on the island but was 8 (i think) months pregnant when she got there and that was before the purge. i think the island’s “unique properties” make conception an issue. it will be interesting to see who the baby was though, i guess it could technically be jin, sun, or miles although i still think it’s miles.
i also agree that ben was not responsible for the death of nadia, i think something else happened to cause sayid to not trust him. just one more unknown event that we’ll have to wait and see!
and annie locke? seriously? that wouldn’t even make sense…i do like the fact that widmore and butcher shop lady (i think her name was jill?) were both at the black rock auction!

Tells her to help him set up widmore and he can help her get back to the island to look for Jin. Maybe he thinks if he gets her on board she can guilt kate and jack back on the island to help find jin??? I know its out there but i so want jin to be alive

all good posts people but i just don’t understand why make shuch emphasis on the co ordinates last year to travel to and from the island if someone can just have a swim around in the ocean and make it back willy nilly.How did the freighter then make to an island which d&l have made clear that is only touching the real world not a part of it (like alice and wonderland)if it was already inside of the radius. I don’t beleive that just the hatch implosion and the island becoming visible for a few seconds counts, i believe that just allowed widmore to discover the co ordinates and follow them to the island. The whole co ordinates idead made sense, that following them was the ONLY way these people could make it to the island, if they didn’t they not only wouldnt make it there but it would screw up their brains because of the time thing, a perfect defence for the island no?

The freighter had to be iside the radius. They couldn’t see it from the helo after the island moved. I think Jin jumped off in time and is traveling in time with the losties. He wasn’t on the freighter any longer so it didn’t travel with them.
__________________________________
I’ve been wondering about this too. They couldn’t see the freighter from the island any more either (they HAD been able to see the smoke before the move – Sawyer commented on it) so I guess I had just thought it didn’t move with them. The helicopter was a lot closer to the island than the freighter was when the island moved, but it didn’t go with the move. If we’re going with the “had to be touching” idea, then the freighter COULD have gone, even if the heli didn’t, because it was “touching” the water (as was the island) but the heli wasn’t? Back to the original question – where is Jin??
————————————————
Hmmm…The way I see it, Jin just died, like so many others did. We dont have a reason to believe otherwise. why would he survive?
He might appear as a whisperer or in a past time frame as still living.
The freighter did disappear and so did the helicopter, the only thing that was in the radius was the raft/zodiac.
The “touching” water theory isn’t consistent, the helicopter was in the air true, But Air and Water are the same, they are both bodies made of particles of matter. They’d have the same proprieties. In that case everything is touching everything.
I think it’s just about being in the radius of time travel or not. And the freighter+Jin weren’t anywhere near it.

Michael FIXED the engines. Desmond ran to the bridge and told the new captain, who started to take the freighter in. Then, because of unknown interference (which turned out to be Keamy’s signal for the C4), he couldn’t see the depth. He said that until the interference was removed, he wouldn’t take the freighter any closer than five miles because he didn’t want to risk running up on the reef. The freighter WAS moving inland.

Kate isn’t willing to go back. Jack tried to convince her at the runway (season3 end)

So if thats the plan, Sun wouldnt be open about it, she’d have to trick her into going back. Which is what might be happening here.

TO THOSE IN THE HELICOPTER: The island AND the freighter disappeared
TO THOSE ON THE ISLAND: The helicopter was already out of sight. The freighter was never IN sight. The only thing that changed to THEM was that there was no longer black smoke. To THEM, the freighter disappeared.
To me, this says that the freighter moved WITH the island, but since the island went back to a time BEFORE the freighter was there, it disappeared.

Here’s an easier one for you PJ, The freighter moved with the island, but they cant see it from the shore, because all they could see was smoke before right?
SO since we went back to a time before the explosion, the freighter is still there, intact, but they cant see it now because there’s no smoke coming from it, the explosion hasnt happened.
That way the theory makes sense.
Except i dont know why we want the freighter with us so bad. hehe :)

If you are touching it the first time time jumps, it stays with you for subsequent jumps. This is why the clothes they are wearing and their packs are still there, but not the food and water et al they had at camp.

I think I missed where the folks in the heli could no longer see the exploded freightor, were they even looking for it? Why would they? I thought shortly after the island disappeared they ran out of fuel and crashed into the water.
If Jin is alive because he swam in, it will be one of those bitter pills we’d have to swallow and chalk up to island mystery. There will not be an easy answer as to how/why he was able to make it on shore other than possibly him floating/swimming in on a coordinate that put him into the future on the island.
I don’t see how the freightor was within the island radius, or the point of having charred up remains of people from the freightor moving with the island.

i think that the fact that sawyer and juliet could see the smoke is confusing us all, my opinion is that the people can see into the distance but if they wanted to swim out to it, they couldn’t, like a snowglobe they can see it but cant touch it, they are stuck in the islands radius unless they follow the correct co ordinates (remember desmond got no where, the raft got no where, there is one way only off the island, through the appropriate co ordinates, the ones that the others knew for the submarine, presumably what the dharma knew, yemi’s plane,the black rock and 815 all landed via chance or fate by travelling through those exact co cordinates when they crashed.Daniel knew, presumably he was told them by naomi, abandon, someone for widmore, who learnt them when penny did when the hatch imploded). The helicopter wasnt out of the radius when sawyer jumped so he was fine to swim back, they followed the correct co ordinates so they found the freighter OUTSIDE the radius. It blew up jin may have survived but that is irrelevant, the helicopter went back towards the island but were just outside the radius when it moved hence they did not go with it, daniel was inside so he did, if the helicopter wasn’t in the radius how could the freighter be, seriously? THEY SAW IT MOVE, they must have been very close. The reason why it disappeared is because the survivors went back in time nothing else, if their camp disappeared its logical to assume the freighter would as well. To jin, the only logical solution for him to return is in the real world with the O6 or in dreams, if he turns up on the island there are some serious plot holes

Actually I think they made it clear that there would be side effects if you travel to the island outside of the bearing, not that you couldn’t get through. Minkowski got into the radius and began getting side effects and turned back. The doctor’s dead body washed up on shore, did his body just manage to float throught the correct bearing? I think that the island won’t ‘LET’ you leave unless you use the correct bearing, but you can get in with side effects.
Comment 455, posted 1 year, 1 month ago - Quote and reply
Another reason I think the ship made it into the radius was the female freighter person that decided to put on a metal chain bathing suit and go for a dip. She was clearly having side effects and never even left the freighter.

I thought about this, but I don’t think so. I think Widmore was funding/ in charge of the Dharma initiative, probably trying to harness the island’s abilities for his own financial benefit. When Ben led the purge, he essentialy “stole” the island from Widmore. Widmore has spend 20 years looking for the island. This would mean that given that Alex is about 16 years old now, Russeou and her people landed on the island 3-4 years after the purge. Eversince then Ben has been hiding the island from Widmore who has been trying to find it. This is why Widmore was so interested in the Black Rock diaries, he is trying to get all possible clues to finding the island again.

I have tried to read all 450+ posts, and I did not see this theory in any of them.
In regards to Juliet time jumping with the losties, even though she was an other. I think that Smokey flashing her will have a lot to do with it. Maybe the others have some sort of constant flashed into their memories (like carl being brainwashed in the Othersville movie theater) When Smokey flashes her, maybe he erases that constant to help protect the island.

I don’t see Juliet as an “Other” in this case. We, ans the LOSTies call everyone that didn’t crash an Other. This includes the DI and the Hostiles. Ben, together with the Hostiles, purged the DI and recruited people to work for him. They are still two separate groups, as I see them. The Others are now Captain Eyeliner and his group. Of the rest of them, we only know Juliet and Ben to still be alive. Ben is off island and Juliet is with Sawyer, et al.
The Others (formerly Hostiles) are the ones that Hammer (and others, including me) think are visible Whisperers.

Yeah, but I’m still not sure what Widmore’s connection to the island is. When he said Ben stole it, he said it was his and ‘always was’. Was he using for financial gain? Or is he a permanent resident that decided to spin the wheel one day and has been trying to get back on ever since? I think he started up DHARMA to help him get back on the island and Ben stopped him.

And once Ben took over he cut all communication to widmore and dharma. That’s why Widmore is looking for it.

I’ve been wondering about why Alpert told Locke that at his next “jump”, he (Alpert) wouldn’t remember Locke (thus he gave him the compass). Why wouldn’t he remember him? Because the last time he saw him Locke was 10 years old, so he didn’t recognize him as an adult? Or because Locke jumps back so far in time that Alpert hasn’t yet learned about the unique properties of the island, so has no knowledge yet of Locke? This makes me think that the “rules” of “time jumping” are:
* You only go back to times in which YOU were not present at the new time period (so you can’t run into yourself in the past).
* This explains why Juliette can jump but the Others don’t – she came much later to the island.
* Alpert goes back in time and meets young Locke – expecting John to remember something of his future – did he believe that John was time traveling too, as his adult self in the young body?
Therefore:
* If you time travel to a period in which you were present, you go back into/as your younger self (ala Desmond going back to his earlier self – when we called it “conciousness travel”.
Just trying to sort this all out!
Did anyone else notice that Alpert has really laid off on the guy-liner this season, or is it just me?
