No Place Like Home - Lost Season 4
Lost’s two part, three hour season finale begins tonight, and if last week was any indication, then the final 3 hours of Lost this season are going to be incredible. We get one hour tonight, followed by a two week break, then we get the remaining two hours of the finale. It is still difficult, at this point, to determine why only the six get off the Island – and further, why just those six. We will definitely start to get a clearer picture of that tonight.

Spoiler Warning

The showdown between the survivors and the freighter people begins.

A relatively vague (imagine that!) show description, but based on what I know the general flow of tonight’s episode and the finale will be about how the Oceanic Six get off the Island, along with flash forwards detailing their homecoming of sorts.

    Instead of speculating & spoiling (no previews for me), I’ll just start with my finale wish:

    1) I want to see the Others that went to the Temple get back in to the mix somehow.

    2) I want more Orchid clues/insight.

    3) I want Sawyer & Miles to do something brilliant together (soon).

    4) I want Ben to pull off of his super-duper, aha, you all fell for it, plans.

    5) I want a few more ideas about The Four-Toed Statue.

    I wonder if tonight’s episode will have the island be the present or the past….watch for those “whoosh” sounds.
    Also, how long has it been since we have heard “PREVIOUSLY ON LOST”, I can’t remember, if not this week surely in 2 weeks.

    So, do you think we will FINALLY find out who is in that damn coffin tonight??? Yes, yes, i said the C word…i have this funny feeling that it’s going to be Locke. Not quite sure why or how,just a feeling I got today.
    I’m also looking forward to finding out how the 6 actually get off the island and back home.
    Will we see the Orchid tonight…find out where it is and see the inside?
    And I’m with you DocH on fiding out where the Temple and the Others are.

    I am interested to hear the top few items on everyone’s “Wish List” for the 3 season finale episodes. Stuff that will tide you over until Jan 2009… not the big stuff you want for the series finale – 37 episodes from now, but the smaller stuff.

    *******************************
    OK, here’s mine:
    1. What is the 4 toed stature?
    2. What is the temple?
    3. What happens to the people who stay on the island?
    4. What are the back-stories for
    a. Danielle
    b. Any freighter tots
    c. Richard Alpert
    If we could find this out, I would be content for a (very) little while.

    Good one. I’ll add this one to my list too. Seems like we got them tossed in our supper dish really early in the season, and we got all excited at the interesting new ‘kibble-n-bits’ they added to the show, but production really hasn’t returned/FB’d to any of them, except when we see Dan with FB Des in “The Constant’.

    4) where are the children from flight 815?
    8) what is the four-toed statue?
    15) why does Alpert not age?
    16) why does he wear so much eye-liner?
    23) IS Charlie alive (you knew I would put that!)
    42) why THESE numbers?

    I am guessing they will keep us hooked on the “Numbers” for at least 35 more episodes.

    As for the eye-liner, who knows? He may not have to wear it anymore… once he learns Tom is dead. (sorry… bad joke.)

    jaime brought up “the coffin” and i think that is a reference to the flash forward where jack went to a funeral home. i too have wondered who is in the coffin and i would assume(probably wrongly) that is one of the “oceanic six”. does any one else have any guesses or theories?

    1. How did Ben end up in The Sahara Desert in Oct 2005?
    2. Who are “they” that Ben referred to when Hurley asked about the purge?
    3. Is Hurley still rich?
    4. Is DUI Jin REALLY dead?
    5. Charlie’s corpse displayed for PJ :)
    6. Anything “WAAAALT”, (except Michael screaming it of course)

    My coffin guess is Desmond. I too wish for freighter backstories ( damn writer’s strike). They said in a podcast they got cut this year but were planning for next year.

    The casket has been on everyones mind for a year… they may be bringing it back for finale time too. Hope they don’t tho. It’s been OA6 this year and we heard that two others survived the flight, but did not survive until rescue. That’s two we have to figure out plus the casket. Three bodies to account for???

    I could see where Claire might show-up as MIA from the OA8.

    Des and Michael are freighter-bound. I think you could rationalize that one of those two are in the casket, now that things are going poorly where they are. The casket scene is about three years into the future. Maybe the freighter is stuck in time that long, before it is recovered. Michael is known to the OA6 as a traitor… Des as a trusted friend. Why would no one go to Des’ memorial service? Unless he really messes things up on the freighter.

    I though they stated that we would know who is in the coffin by season’s end. Maybe not tonight though. Season 5 …. how does this person end up in the coffin.

    In a podcast (the “Mother’s Day” one if I remember correctly), I believe D&C said that we WOULD have an answer to who is in the casket by the end of this season.

    I will be REALLY disappointed if the vision of Claire and the baby getting on the helicopter does not come true because then Charlie died for absolutely nothing….of course we never saw the vision so maybe Desmond lied because HE wanted off the island!

    Regardless I already am 99% sure she isn’t getting on no helicopter…so they better find a way to bring MY Charlie back!!

    ===

    I think it’s Michael for two reasons: 1) no one really cares for him because he left his friends with the scary others bound and with guns to their heads(which is why Kate said, “why would I go to HIS funeral?”) and 2) it’s in an African American neighborhood and he’s African American.

    I have to go by my memory because there are so many posts, but I’m pretty sure we discussed the newspaper clipping about the death that Jack had in the Season 3 finale and it had a “Jo” which some of us speculated was John Locke, but later learned of Michael’s new identity as Kevin Johnson, which Jack and Kate are privy to (somehow). The newspaper death announcement said he committed suicide (though it must have been a murder because we know Michael cannot commit suicide)…

    1. I hate to really backtrack but I really want to know Libby’s story and why we saw her interact with several losties.
    2. I also would like the tots back stories, especially Charlotte’s and Miles.
    3. Of course, the coffin (I think it’s Michael/Kevin).

  32. JamieGirl
    Comment 32, posted 2 years, 3 months ago -

    I looked it up…
    “The newspaper clipping is an obituary that Jack ripped out of the Los Angeles Times. The article is about a man from New York who was found dead in Los Angeles. He first notices it on a flight from Sydney to Los Angeles. The man in the article seems to be someone both Kate and Jack know as Kate does not want to go to the funeral. However, the producers have said (despite what some people have deciphered from the article) that it would be re-written.

    Well, at least he COULDN’T, but if the island is done with you, then who knows? But Michael has a mom and a son, so why wouldn’t ANYONE come to his funeral? I had thought too that it would be Michael, but now I really don’t know.

    Because after the island “Michael goes to his mother’s house, who is caring for Walt. Michael’s mom doesn’t understand why they showed up at her house two months after the plane crash, and why she can’t tell anyone or call them by their real names. She also does not know why Walt is so distraught and having nightmares” (from Lostpedia).

    Okay, since we are talking about the coffing… I think it is Michael. I think he was finally able to do himself in. Whatever hold the island had may no longer be in effect, as Rita stated. No Walt or Mom? Maybe they didn’t know about it or maybe he has alienated (sp???) himself and they don’t want to go. My money is on Michael. RIP Michael!

    and the obit said the person was from new york, survived by a teenage son (walt)-the “moving of the island” might have ended the effect the island has on michael’s hurting himself…however that that takes place roughly 2-2 &1/2 yrs from now depending on hold you think aaron is when shown after the trial

    Well, maybe (if it is Michael) his mom doesn’t know he is dead. I can’t imagine her NOT coming if she were able to do so. She might have to say it is a family member, or make up a story, but she would be there, and Walt with her. Most likely she doesn’t know the name he has been using, and was not notified of the death. Even a confused and distraught mom is still a mom.

    During comic con, they released an new orientation video for the station called the Orchid. In quick terms, the Asian looking Doc is talking and holding a rabbit with the no. 15 painted on it. While he’s talking somthing happens and suddenly there is another rabbit with no. 15 on it. There is some yelling about who screwed up and not to let the rabbits near each other. People are assuming that the expirementing going on was time travel and someone messed up and overlapped times creating the same rabbit from two times appearing at the same time…….

    Okay my anticipation to this new ep is *Killing* me… but alas…

    I think the body in the coffin may be some one we have not yet met that maybe only Jack know (like some one on the freighter, Others at the temple, kids on the flight) that Kate never particularly feels close on island so doesn’t feel obliged to go to the funeral or something along those lines.

    We’re still a long way from all six of the O6 being in one place at the same time. Sayid and Kate are captives of Mr. Eyeliner. Jack is with Sawyer somewhere else. Sun is on the freighter with Aaron. Hurley is outside the Orchid Station.

    When I saw Jin on the Zodiac, I figured that Daniel would freak out and not want to take it back to the island again and that Jin would step in and do it and that is how he would end up separated from Sun. But obviously everything is still up for grabs.

    Maybe they move the island, the freighter finds it and Sun gets off right before the explosion which moves the island again.

    I cheered again this week when I saw Alpert. Strange how this time it seemed like the Others are the cavalry riding to the rescue, whereas all the other times their appearance struck a chord of fear and dread.

    I liked how they showed the O6 arriving in Hawaii, meeting their families, the press, etc, so they got those obligatory scenes out of the way. I prefer that to having that scene at the end of Part II.

    I have to go back and rewatch the scene where the Oceanic rep explains how they “survived” and were found.

    the orchid orientation film was on the season 3 boxed set. It is on the special features disc, which is hidden.

    Also, all the explosives are wired to Keamy. His death would equal the explosion of the boat.

    I was thinking that the finale for this season would be 06 getting off the island, looks like we will have something more shocking in store. I love and hate the season finales!

    The numbers don’t make sense. Sun’s dad’s company is huge. How could a settlement from the crash give her enough to buy a controlling interest in the company? It makes sense all of the survivors get a hefty settlement, but not that big!

    Here’s a thought…Do you think whenever they move the island…the four toed statue will move with it? Technically there are two islands to move, and the statue was not actually ON the island. If course everything inside the bubble would move not just the island right?

    Also Ben tells Locke to go down the elevator and just walks off. He never told Locke what he was supposed to do when he got there. Or maybe he knows what he is supposed to do already from Jacob/Christian.

    Andrew: you’re funny! I agree though, the emo hippy kids dressed in brown come-out of nowhere. Where were they before? I need answers.

    And why would the Oceanic 6 lie? I hope the people back on the island do not die. Hopefully they warp to a different time on the island. Since the island can move and all maybe the island can also allow alternate ‘island’ time zone where all the lost peeps (who we think are dead) can still live and come back to inform the LOST folks who are still alive in the messed up ‘time warp island’ and save the day. Maybe that is where the emo hippy others live on a regular basis.

    I loved the fact that Hurley asked Ben a million questions, and Ben actually answered most of them, albeit somewhat ambiguously at times.

    I didn’t like the fact that Kate, Hurley and Sayid got a front row seat at Christian’s memorial service. Not very realistic – other family members or friends of Christian would have been in front of them. (yes I’m being nitpicky, but it just struck me as too “Hollywood-ish”)

    Great scene with Hurley and the restored car. Wasn’t that the car he was driving at the convenience store when he first flipped out when he saw Charley? Remember the earlier flash forward? If I am right, he must have changed his mind about the car.

    Sun’s father likely started selling shares to get more money. He only had to have more shares than anyone else to be the controlling interest. 51% NOT needed. If Sun bought more shares than her father, she becomes the controlling interest.

    2.Who has made them all agree to go along with this lie.
    3. A hint at what Whitmore’s role is in all this..although we may know something, I’d like to know more…which is a constant thing with this show.
    4. Why they want Ben.
    5. What is Ben up to with Locke and Hurley? I have come to believe that Ben is always lying. Remember how good he was at being Henry Gale? He’s so good, it’s scary.
    I was shouting at Claire’s mom while she was leading up to the big reveal, I couldn’t take it. Watching a Lost secret get revealed is a mental rush.
    Also I cried a bit when Nadiya met Sayid–of the love stories, I like this one the best. Second would be Sawyer and his baby-momma–I think that they’ll end up together someday again with lil Clementine in tow..

    Okay, I had a gripe about Widmore’s accent NOT being very British in the scene when he’s in bed talking to Ben. (And yes, I know know that the reason it was a bad British accent is because he is from New Zealand.)

    Accents really must be a pet peeve of mine, because Claire’s mom had a HORRIBLE Australian accent. There is NO WAY that woman is really Australian! Get the woman a dialogue coach. Or hire an ACTUAL Australian!

    But I am glad that we know now how and when Jack found out about Claire.

    I think Charlie might be in the last episode… I think that Jacob/Smokey (I really do think they are one and the same) will assume his form and Claire will be a part of something big.

    Or at least I’m hoping… one of the biggest surprises of the SERIES (to me) was seeing her in Jacob’s cabin. And now I’m really anxious to know what happens.

    And I’m REALLY anxious for what happens with who’s on that boat right now… and how Sun escapes to be one of “The Oceanic 6″.
    This is probably the most pumped I’ve actually ever been in the entirely of Lost… wow.

    Poor Ben, he gets beaten up so often.
    I have a feeling someone’s dead in the finale.

    Some thoughts on the show and comments:

    DocH: looks like you had at least 2 of your 5 wishes come true thus far with a very possible 3rd with Ben’s plan (pretty sure its gonna work out)

    Tasha, and anyone who thinks Charlie died for nothing: if it weren’t for charlie shutting down the looking glass blocking communication, then they would had no chance with getting off until then…that was the opening that they needed to get off the island, albeit contacting Keamy and crew, but it got those 6 off the island, so Charlie still is a martyr

    Hammer: right on with many points per usual, but one especially i agree with, most interesting line: Jesus is not a weapon…as soon as she said it, it definitely made me think

    - Poor Hurley, always seeing those awful numbers
    - On the 108th day the survivors were found, another pretty interesting tie in to the 108 mins and the sum of the Numbers
    - Claire cannot be one of the other 2 that survived but then died according to the lie, Claire’s mother would find out that Jack knew, Aaron’s identity would surely come up and Aaron would be taken by the grandmother…this doesn’t happen because we know Kate has Aaron down the line
    - As for Sun buying out her father’s company, this is very feasible with the money she probably received…she was compensated for herself, but also probably Jin as well…plus it was in dollars which is probably stronger than korean currency

    That’s all for now, more to come once things settle

    Well for every1 saying how Sun can buy a controlling share into her dads compnay and if the settlement was enough?…Thats easy, if you know any thing about finance, then you would know that with 5 investment banks that underwrite Paik automotive stock, it is very easy to buy up all the shares in the market on open orders without alerting Mr. Paik himself,… but since we dont know how much the settlement was we have to assume it was alot, and most likly Sun probably already controlled a percentage since she was his daughter…Most likly she bought the stock on margin and leverage, so being his daughter and using 5 different banks, thats alot of buying power. Which means that by buying on margin you get 2/1 or 4/1 or all the way up to 100/1 and more, so we dont know what the deal was with the banks, but im assuming she probably got 80/20 on the stock…which means with 20 million u can buy 100 million. Plus remember hugo is worth 150 million and he was in korea visting her baby, he might be her buisness partner…

    So “the story” is that Jin and Claire did not survive the crash. It didn’t look like Jack was too happy about Sun’s reply at the press conference. But when Sayid denied the possibility of other survivors being discovered, Jack had this funny smirk on his face like “told you”.
    1. Who is the other person Sun holds responsible for Jin’s death? and boy do I feel sorry for him/her.
    2. Faraday and Charlotte definitely have or had something between them.
    3. Claire’s mother is alive. Didn’t CS tell Claire to pull the plug when he traveled to Australia? I wonder if the island had anything to do with her recovery and visit to Jack to inform him he has a sister.

    Sun takes the baby and runs right off the open end of that freighter deck as the old rust bucket goes up in a big ball of fire. That’s all for Michael, Jin and Desmond.

    Speaking of balls, Ben rocks. He’s going to take out Keamy, and that’s when the freighter goes.

    I agree, definitely Hollywood. I think they did that to show that Sun did not attend the funeral and Nadia did. The timeline…before Nadia’s death and possibly a month after Ji Yeon’s birth.

    I also thought it odd that the wake was 10 months after the crash? Seems like an awful longtime assuming they have been rescued for about 6 months.

    I was thinking that too. But she did this before having the baby, so Hurley would have had to given her money before that visit. Which is plausible. He doesn’t want “anything to do with the money”, knowing this, and how close Hurley became with Jin, Sun could have approached him about it.

    First time poster, long time reader. just had a few observations:
    1. Why does Faraday know about the secondary protocol but it didn’t seem that the captain knew? I now completely believe that Daniel is one of the good guys, but that makes me curious.
    2. I believe that Sun has contempt towards her father not only because of how he treated Jin, but because she learns of the paik industries- Charles Widmore connection. I think she either considers Widmore or herself the other person.
    3. The moment when Sawyer decides to go with Jack to the chopper was friggin’ great
    4. Does anyone know what the name that Nadia gave as her name when she met Sayid was? Was is what she wrote on the pack of the picture she gave him?
    5. All of the 6 make sense except for Sun and Aaron. The rest of them are near the chopper
    6. Probably useless observation, but there was a kid at Hurley’s party was wearing a 42 shirt.

    We KNOW that in the O6 lie, Claire is not among the 8 who initially survived, because Kate is claiming that she was pregnant and had Aaron on the island. When Jack found out that Claire was his sister, he couldn’t say that he knew her.

    I also was wondering about who is the other person that Sun holds responsible for Jin’s death. When she tells her father that he is one of two, I immediately thought that Jack might be the other one she blames, for making her tell the lie.

    SO nice to see Sawyer, Kate, and Jack together again, if only briefly. We’ve been talking about favorite Hurley lines for weeks. Okay writers! How about some great Sawyer lines, as in the past! Though we did get one… “Cut yourself shaving?” to Jack when he saw the blood at appendix site.

    RE: the raft the Sayid brings to the island…
    #1 – totally a false moment that Sayid would decide to go after Jack and Kate in the woods instead of doing what he’d come back to do — taking people off the island.
    #2 – The survivors have been on the island for 3 months. You don’t think there would be some argument about who would be allowed to get in the raft? Like what happened a few seasons ago when they managed to build a boat?

    I was disappointed that all of the teasers seemed to indicate that we finally would find out how the O6 got off the island. But that’s still a huge mystery. Guess we’ll have to wait and see in 2 weeks, at the finale. Can’t wait!

    Sun’s father likely started selling shares to get more money. He only had to have more shares than anyone else to be the controlling interest. 51% NOT needed. If Sun bought more shares than her father, she becomes the controlling interest.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Thanks for the response, Hammer. That makes sense. But still, wouldn’t he have to approve the amount of shares people are buying? Even if he has an agent acting on his behalf in the selling of the shares, wouldn’t that agent know enough to ensure that no one entity has more shares than Mr. Paik?

    +++++++++++++++
    That is what Paik was so angry about, no one was monitoring it….”How could this happen?”

    Exactly – his advisors stated that “five banks were used”

    Clearly, Sun got backing from 5 banks with her cheque from Oceanic to quietly buy shares in Paik Ind.

    By buying as if it was 5 different buyers, she didn’t alert her fathers people to the buyout

    I have an idea I would like to submit.
    It seems like Ben knew all along that there would be this potentially disastrous “War” from Widmore if the location of the island were to become known. He had the opportunity to keep this from happening by allowing the Losties to leave the island (with all the travel off the island by Michael, Tom, Ben himself, etc. he could have gotten the Losties off the island), he would have kept them from freeing up the radio signals that ultimately led to Keamy and the mercs attacking the island. Why wouldn’t he have said to the Losties, “Here’s what’s going to happen. If you stay on the island everyone will die. But if you go back to the mainland and keep your mouths shut, everything will be ok.” Obviously there would be a bit more to it than that, but looking back it seems like a better alternative than what Ben and the others are facing at this time. Right?

    We’re still a long way from all six of the O6 being in one place at the same time. Sayid and Kate are captives of Mr. Eyeliner. Jack is with Sawyer somewhere else. Sun is on the freighter with Aaron. Hurley is outside the Orchid Station.

    When I saw Jin on the Zodiac, I figured that Daniel would freak out and not want to take it back to the island again and that Jin would step in and do it and that is how he would end up separated from Sun. But obviously everything is still up for grabs.

    I was thinking the same thing as Hammer. I thought that there was going to be an explosion, but wouldn’t that mean Des and Micheal would die too? But PJ’s exactly correct. There’s still more to come to bring them together. I was just holding my breath through that whole time.

    Also, I actually felt sorry for Juliet. Jack played her. That scene when she was telling him not to go was the first time I felt any kind of real sympathy for her, that I can remember anyways. I know she desperatly wanted off the island before but I never knew if I could trust her. First it was when Jack picked Kate to go with him to find the chopper and then when she stormed away from him.

    I don’t see the freighter blowing up. Too many characters on the freighter at this time; Sun, Des, Jin, Michael. I haven’t seen this question posed yet: How do the O6 get on that cargo plane?? Have any ideas been brought up yet? Where would that plane have taken off from? How did the O6 get to the place where the plane took off from? The only idea I have would be that they took the little raft (it holds 6.) from the freighter to a nearby place, meaning the freighter probably had to move closer to the mainland. My guess then is that the freighter (still controlled by Keamy) headed back towards the island.

    Thanks to all the business experts and their knowledge about how Sun could have possibly bought a controlling interest in the company.

    Their “story” is that they used a survival raft and came ashore on the island of Sumba. The Zodiac that Daniel used is not a survival raft. If there are any aviatars out there, I am curious to know if helos, like the one Lapidas has, would be equipped with a survivor raft?

    I agree that Aaron did NOT look five weeks old. At first, I figured it was more about CASTING a baby, than their lie, but I suspect it is partly both.

    They crashed on September 22, 2004. 108 days later, when they were “rescued” would be about January 8, 2005. Claire gave birth to Aaron around November 1st. That would make Aaron about nine weeks old. That baby looked older than nine weeks!

    But if according to the Oceanic Conspiracy, Kate was “five months pregnant” at the time of the crash, that would put her as “full term” sometime in January. If, according to the Oceanic Conspiracy, Aaron was five weeks old, he would have been born December 4, so Aaron would have been at least a month premature, and therefore should have been especially SMALL for five weeks!

    I think that the press is being asked to accept this story and are willing to wait to get details and confirmation. In reality, we’ve seen an entire country suspend belief in the truth because someone official asked them to, so why not the media at that press conference?

    We also have the time shift thing that has not been mentioned. How will THAT play into the rescue story?

    I find it interesting that Kate is claiming Aaron is only a little over 5 weeks old when they get off the island. The reporter said to Kate that that would have made her six months pregnant when the U.S. Marshall captured her in Australia. When the plane crashed Claire was a little over eight months pregnant. They’ve been on the island over 100 days, so Aaron, in reality, would be 2-3 months old. And wouldn’t the marshall have mentioned something after capturing Kate that she was pregnant? I’m surprised that people off the island are buying into that. Maybe in future episodes people might realize that Aaron is not hers.

    To no. 1–I would think Widmore is the resposible party.

    I’m gonna guess Jack. She is holding her indirectly responsible because he sent Jin to Austrailia. I think she gets mad at Jack for being wrong about the “rescue” will indirectly blame him too.

    No way is it Jack. It’s Michael. Def. And she probably has him, as “Kevin Johnson” killed, and that’s him in the coffin. That’s my guess.

    **** I’m thinking it’s Widmore that she holds responsible. Widmore sent Keamy and co. to the island and they could have killed Jin?

    “There’s no place like home” is a direct Wizard of Oz reference (this is what Dorothy says when tapping her heels). Add that to Charlotte’s name (CS Lewis) I think this is an important connection.

They’ve been on the island over 100 days, so Aaron, in reality, would be 2-3 months old. And wouldn’t the marshall have mentioned something after capturing Kate that she was “pregnant? I’m surprised that people off the island are buying into that. Maybe in future episodes people might realize that Aaron is not hers.

    First of all, I’m new to this blog, but I’ve really been enjoying what everyone’s written so far – please allow me to join the fray….

    One thing that intrigues me is that the O6 have been very secretive/untruthful about what actually happened to the other survivors. Although I have no idea why that is, it is interesting that Claire’s mother suspects that something is up (the way she knowingly gazed at Aaron) and that Jack now understands his relationship to Aaron/Claire. Ultimately, I think this “wrench in the works” will help us understand why the O6 are lying about what happened on the island…

    She could have been 6 months pregnant and not have told anyone so the Marshall may not have know.

    We also know now that when they first get off the island for awhile Jack is able to look at Aaron. Him finding out about Claire must be the reason he doesn’t want anything to do with him for awhile. Hope nobody wrote that already. I didn’t see it.

    I like Jack also. Blaming the man who sent him ( dad ) and the man who didn’t rescue him. Poor Jack, he carries a lot of weight, especially now that he knows his sister was Claire. That was a great scene when he turned around, after talking with Mrs. Littleton, just STARING at Aaron. Maybe that’s why he has to eventually “go back” to the island. To save his sister?

    I don’t think anyone has raised this point yet, but if Locke succeeds in moving the island in TIME as opposed to LOCATION (as I, and many of you, it seems, are convinced) then wouldn’t that mean Widmore could still find it? Moving it in time might affect who’s on the island and what’s happening on it, but it should still physically be there right?? or perhaps moving it in time screws up the bearing one needs to follow to navigate to it…any thoughts?

    Jin on short time, too bad, he’ll be missed.

    Ben sure did switch gears after he manipulated Hurley to find the cabin and Locke to go into it. He really plays Locke for a rube – no way John is a future island leader. He lacks the big game skills. “…I ALWAYS have a plan (you fool).”

    More questions than answers, which is par.

    Michael can’t blow up on the boat if he is in the coffin.

    I have a different question. When Ben was signaling with the mirror, he received a coded response back. At that time Kearny and crew couldn’t have taken physical control of orchid. Doesn’t it seem strange that Kearny did not have a lookout posted to see Ben before Ben spotted Kearny’s team? I would think Kearny would have been more cautious.

    Finally, done reading all the posts…here are my thoughts

    I still think the coffin is michael (kevin johnson) which is why no one was there! Although, even if his mom and walt knew his new name was Kevin…perhaps neither wanted to fly to LA, I mean after the crash and all. Jamiegirl said Michael cannot commit suicide, but I think he just couldn’t do it until the island “LET HIM”, because he had to help the island first.

    moving the island makes sense, because penny was trying to find it, it probably has moved in the past perhaps this is why they cannot get back to the island….it is missing

    awful lot of rabbit’s feet tonight!

    I think Mr. Eyeliner (love the name) sets up the whole O6 escaping island. I don’t think they will be taking Kate and Sayid as hostages, I think they want to help them off island.

    I could see this as a possibility. But I’d expect a more obvious final “good-bye” scene between Jin and Sun, to maximize the drama. Maybe the explosives go off, and Jin stumbles towards Sun and utters a final “I love you” before dying in Sun’s arms.

    Part two of my thoughts…

    OK, what if….Des and Penny DO reunite, and they are on the island somewhere. Ben goes to Widmore and threatens to kill Penny, so that Widmore will lead him to island (perhaps Ben can’t find it, but Widmore knows where it is). Just a thought.

    I also think this is why Sun bought Daddy’s company, so she can USE the power to help find the island. Sun’s dad would NOT have to approve of someone buying stocks, thats why its freetrade. He could try to prevent it,
    which is why he is so upset with his men that someone did it sneaky, through five different banks. Settlement money probably isn’t enough to gain control of company, so perhaps Ben is also teamed up with her.

    I think the other person she holds responsible is Widmore, and that is why she is teamed with Ben. They said the money came from several different banks, I think Ben is having the O6 help him. Ben says to Sayid at some point, something about protecting his friends. Perhaps he means the ones still livin on missing island. Afterall, by eliminating Widmore’s people, Sayid can assure that Widmore not find the island again and harm his ‘friends’.

    Tasha said Ben didn’t actually tell Locke what to do at bottom of elevator, but that’s because he plans to catch up to him, which is why he asked Locke to hold his wand.

    I am very interested to see how ‘long’ it takes for the second round of islandees to return to ship. If it took ages for the helicopter…hmmm.

    Morbidly guessing at two major player deaths for our season finale.

    Possible to die:
    Jin (mark it – he’s falling on a grenade)
    Juliet (maybe, not much drama though)
    Claire (seems likely, sure would like to find out what is happening with the off-camera rumors)
    Sawyer (was thinking this was likely for high drama, but Claire/Emilie may have fallen on her sword, saving Sawyer/Josh)
    Locke (doubt it, they’re not done with him)
    Desmond (not until they play out the Penny thread)
    Michael (not if we are convinced he is in the coffin = later)

    Anyone else?

    That was my original feeling, Jack made up the “story”, or at least told them what the story was by whomever made it up. He also tells Kate “you did great”. It certainly did not seem like they were on all on the same page.

    Jack usually seems to be the source of direction so I’m guessing the lying was a stance heavily advocated by him.

    But for him to do that he must have a very good reason. After all, he “promised to get all those people off the island”. Plus, he’s usually the guy who jumps head first at any chance to be the hero, no matter the possible consequences. I think Jack comes to believe that the welfare of everyone who’s still on the island depends on nobody finding the island. As to how he comes to this enlightenment remains to be seen (Richard/Captain Eyeliner?)

    Ok. Right away, I got the impression that if one person had NO business being rescued it was Jack. Not sure why entirely, but he should have stayed and let someone else go. Sun is definately PISSED at Jack. And man, that whole first scene with them all on the rescue plane was hard to swallow man. I feel alot of hardship for Jack right now… even though I also kind of think he’s a donkey at the moment.
    He def makes a costly descision at some point very soon…

    I am very glad all of that stuff was dealt with on the show last night, and nicely split up with some good island scenes, because the Oceanic 6 stuff really made me miss the island.

    Plus…holy love triangle last night. Talk about the tensest love triangle moment yet. I cant really gather too much more yet, except that Jack is gonna have to deal with being a a total jack-ass for a while. HE SHOULD HAVE STAYED!

    Long time reader/first time poster.

    I can totally understand why the O6 are lying and created a story. Here’s my thinking:
    a) They want to protect the island and/or any people who may be still be on it. (Sawyer-I hope!)
    b) It would be an unbelievable story – unidentified island with crazy people,weird black smoke, paranormal behavior-not to mention that it may have moved!
    c) Protect themselves from Widmore-who will do anything to get the island.

    This is why I think they don’t acknowledge the island, other survivors or anything that happens. Jin probably dies on the freighter(which is tied to the island and Widmore so it’s not acknowledged). Not sure about what’s happening with Michael or Desmond.
    My big question is why they claim 8 people survived. Who are the other 2 (or 3 depending on Aaron)? I’m wondering what happens that they have to acknowledge that they died sometime after the crash-is there a body that washes up or something? Otherwise, why not just say it was just the 5 (or 6). I really hope that part gets cleared up in this seasons finale.

    Comment 201, posted 2 years, 3 months ago -

    OK, here’s my theory:
    The ship DOES blow, and Sun jumps into the water. Very dramatic, lots of music, Sun screaming for Jin. She THINKS Jin and the rest are dead (we won’t see any bodies though, of course). The second raft-load (who never make it to the ship before it blows) picks up Sun in the water and heads back to the island (no where else to go). There will eventually be a Jin/Sun reunion (at the last season?).
    Also, the O6 get out THROUGH THE ORCHID/”TIME MACHINE THINGEE”. Sun is now back on the island, and the rest of the beach people head for the Orchid station (Daniel knows where it is). That’s how Sun joins the other 06ers. Then, the machine only can take so many at once, and they choose who to go (in a hurry of course, lots of drama). They end up at a place near the fake crash site, and stage a “rescue”. They are tramatized by the teleportation, etc., and agree to never tell ANYONE what happened. As someone else suggested, they will believe that in so doing, they can keep the rest safe. Just my idea. Any thoughts?

    yeah, i don’t get this 10 months ago? if christian died 10 months ago and they were on the island 108 days, that leaves 7 months that they were on or getting to the island of Sumba?? don’t get it

I really hope that part gets cleared up in this seasons finale.

    I have a guess. I think that the ACTUAL rescue will be tense and couple of the “extras” from the beach are somehow taking up space that prevents a couple of “stars” from getting rescued. The two extras get killed in the maylee, but end up off the island when it moves…?

    Michael last saw Walt before he left for the freighter and if memory serves, Walt was a lot older than he was on the island (and they were only there for a relatively short time). I’m not sure if this has anything to do with the time distortions or if it’s just the fact that the child actor had aged between shoots…

    I still think the island moves before Dan can get back from the freighter

    I don’t think the boat blows because I don’t think Michael can die

    I think the same is true for Ben, I think that’s why he walks so willingly into tough situations, he knows he can’t be killed

    I can’t wait to see how all the O6 are reunited, they’re so scattered all over the island right now, those last two hours are going to be intense!!

    I’m still not sure that Jin dies…I think Sun possibly buys a controlling interest in Paik Automotive so that she can work to find the island again…or protect it

    The whole O6 story is just so unbelieveable to me…can’t wait to see who comes up with it and why

    I think the coffin will be a complete surprise to all of us, and I think there’s a whole lot more to Dan and Charlotte than any of us have thought of yet

    I want to see what happens to Frank, if he is the one that ferrys them off the island in the chopper, what happens to him?

    Tell me if I’m stepping on toes.

    I think some folks (me included) have assumed that the secondary protocol (SP) was for Keamy to do if the original attack didn’t work. I now think it is what DHARMA folks were supposed to do if attacked. Sort of like turning the key was a last resort. So Keamy was instructed to read what Ben would do and try to beat him to the punch? What’s got me confused is, if the SP was a DHARMA manual why doesn’t Keamy know that the “real” Orchid is down a hidden elevator? He’s wondering around the green house waiting for Ben…

    I agree. The second protocol was developed by Dharma around 15 years ago. Maybe after the “incident” or when Danielle’s team reached the island. Good point, wouldn’t Keamy know the entrance ways and have them monitored.

Lets Locke sneak in to the elevator. Interesting that Keamy was entrusted with the mission, but not with everything: He wasn’t suppose to look at the “SP” unless it got desperate, and even then, only with the captain (with the second key).

    ok, one thing that really bothered me: do any of the people involved in planning the cover story really think people are going to believe aaron was only 5 weeks old during the press conference?

    I mean come on…. i know they had to make stuff up to make their ruse believable, but trying to convince anyone that aaron was that young there was ridiculous!!

    I agree that Aaron did NOT look five weeks old. At first, I figured it was more about CASTING a baby, than their lie, but I suspect it is partly both.

    They crashed on September 22, 2004. 108 days later, when they were “rescued” would be about January 8, 2005. Claire gave birth to Aaron around November 1st. That would make Aaron about nine weeks old. That baby looked older than nine weeks!

    But if according to the Oceanic Conspiracy, Kate was “five months pregnant” at the time of the crash, that would put her as “full term” sometime in January. If, according to the Oceanic Conspiracy, Aaron was five weeks old, he would have been born December 4, so Aaron would have been at least a month premature, and therefore should have been especially SMALL for five weeks!

    I think that the press is being asked to accept this story and are willing to wait to get details and confirmation. In reality, we’ve seen an entire country suspend belief in the truth because someone official asked them to, so why not the media at that press conference?

    We also have the time shift thing that has not been mentioned. How will THAT play into the rescue story?

    Comment 232, posted 2 years, 3 months ago -

    First off, probably the best Ep of the season, my jaw was on the floor the entire time.

    Im not really sure about all the confusion about the O6 lying about the rescue. They really have no choice….the world has already been told and shown that flight 815 crashed and there were no survivors. If any of the O6 come forward and say they were stranded on an island and there are more survivors, then whoever staged the crash has some serious explaining to do, it now turns into a worldwide conspiracy, not only that but you then have rescue teams searching for an island that cannot be found….im pretty sure that widmore has something to do with the O6 getting there settlement money since he is most likely the one who staged the crash.

    As far as the O6 getting off the island, here is my theory…i think jack, sawyer and the pilot (his name escapes me now!) make it to hugo and locke, an argument ensues and somehow hurly still ends up going with Locke (i think this situation is why hugo apologized to jack about not going with him when he was in the mental inst.) Jack and Sawyer follow, eventually meet up with the others along with kate and sayid, a war starts between the others and keamy’s team and Jack Sawyer, Kate, Hugo, sayid and the pilot make a run for the chopper, but sawyer stays behind to look for Claire. Once on the chopper they make there way to the frieghter where something has gone wrong with the C4 and its a matter of minutes before the ship explodes, Jin, being the honorable man he is makes sure that Sun is on that chopper and makes the ultimate sacrifice by staying on the boat with Michael, Des and the other people…..We now have our O6

    This would make a lot of sense (well to me at least!) Hurley does have $150 million from the lottery. He came to see Sun after the baby was born. In last night’s episode, Sun told her father that they would talk about “our business” after the baby is born. If Hurley helped Sun by her share of the company, then he might be going with Sun to talk to her father. Also, remember how Hurley said to Sun when he went to see Ji-Yeon that they should go see him. Maybe that HIM wasn’t Jin, but he was referring to Sun’s father.

    Could anyone please help me understand what happened on the freighter when Des ran into onto the ship’s bridge and I think he was trying to turn the freighter towards the island but the instruments were not responding. Has the freighter drifted too close to the island? or is all that C2 creating some intereference? is this realization prior to the discovery of the C2 even significant?

    I’m pretty sure that the initial press conference story is going to be on constant guard. There was a lot of heffenreffer being tossed around, and the reporters did not seem satisfied. I think I was too hard on Jack in my last post, calling him a jack ass and all. But I do think some of the lie is to cover up some slip of his, which he constantly seems to be trying to make right of in this episode, but we dont know what that is yet. The lie seems to have become more complicated than it was supposed to be, because they all (jack too) seem like they hate it.

    and I still think Jack was not rightly supposed to leave the island. He is convinced that he did the right thing by doing so, but I’m looking back to the episode when him and Kate were talking about how Sawyer “made his decision to stay…” and I think the rest of the 06 have serious doubts about what he did. (whatever that is)
    Last night my favorites were Sawyer and Ben. If anyone on this show has been selected for a greater purpose, I think it has to be Sawyer.. his whole attitude has completely changed in just the last few weeks… Jack as I said, has a lot more hardship to go through.

    Ben. I like the fact that Ben went from being such a creep in last season, to just being probably the smartest guy around. When you find yourself rooting for the bad guy, then he’s got you!

    As far as the O6 getting off the island, here is my theory…i think jack, sawyer and the pilot (his name escapes me now!) make it to hugo and locke, an argument ensues and somehow hurly still ends up going with Locke (i think this situation is why hugo apologized to jack about not going with him when he was in the mental inst.)

    But what do the O6 care about starting a ‘worldwide conspiracy’? the only reason I think they would be motivated to lie is either a) because doing so somehow helps ensure the other survivors’ safety or b) they are being coerced to lie by someone like Widmore (in who’s best interest it is to keep the island a secret)

    I didn’t like the fact that Kate, Hurley and Sayid got a front row seat at Christian’s memorial service. Not very realistic – other family members or friends of Christian would have been in front of them. (yes I’m being nitpicky, but it just struck me as too “Hollywood-ish”)

    Kate would be up front because she is Jack’s significant other at that time.

    I don’t think she was at that point. According to Eggtown, it seems that Jack and Kate don’t get together until after Kate’s trial, at which point Aaron appeared to be 2 or 3 years old. At the service for Christian, Aaron was still a baby (maybe 6 or 7 months old).

    I agree, they aren’t lying because THEY don’t want the world to know about the island…THEY are being manipulated. At one time, when we only knew about Jack and Kate off the island, it would have been to protect Kate from the law. Now that we know she didn’t hide from the law, I think we know that someone else is forcing the lies.

    Right, and even further making the point: I think that Jack’s first reaction would be to do whatever possible to get those people off the island, unless he had a REALLY good reason not to. He has no affinity for the island. That’s Locke’s department. In fact, it seems that the island no longer (if it ever did at all) has an affinity for Jack, judging by his recent bout with appendicitis. Jack (the) Shepard is always about leading the people.

    With all of the talk of the O6 getting off the Island, there doesn’t seem to be any discussion on how they decided WHO got to leave? Maybe it wasn’t the Lostie’s decision as to who got to leave. Maybe Ben decided who left; he sent people he could trust would not give away any info on the island. We know Sayid is working for him so he would definitely sent him. The more I write this the more I am convincing myself that they were picked by Ben. As was mentioned earlier, Jack would NOT want to leave people behind and go home himself so possibly he was forced to leave the island.

    I mentioned in last week’s thread that I think that the appendicitis was as much about moving the plot along as it was the island being displeased with Jack. I think that it is in Jack’s character to make sure EVERYONE got off the island before he did. I think that it is because of his recent surgery that other people insist that he go first.

    Ben choosing the O6 may be right, but he does he give two hoots about Kate or Sun? I think he would rather Hurley stayed on the island.

    What’s the deal with Christian’s funeral? They knew he was dead before Jack even left for Australia, it’s not like Jack, where he there is a posibility he’s still alive. Christians was DEAD. Wouldn’t they have had the funeral months earlier, why wait until the return of Jack?

    I disagree. They have been getting closer and Jack talks to her like they are a couple. Plus, at Hurley’s party Kate says that Jack is running late, but he’ll be there. That sounds like something one would say about one’s partner.

    I don’t think any of them were allowed to leave. It seems to me that the O6 more or less “escaped”. Sayid didn’t work for Ben until after his wife gets killed. I don’t think Ben “sent” anyone off the island. Again, I think they are off the island when it gets “moved” and ended up being rescued. Hence the big lie. Now the story turns to how and why the O6 have to go back and find the island.

    ok, one thing that really bothered me: do any of the people involved in planning the cover story really think people are going to believe aaron was only 5 weeks old during the press conference?

    I mean come on…. i know they had to make stuff up to make their ruse believable, but trying to convince anyone that aaron was that young there was ridiculous!!

    I agree that Aaron did NOT look five weeks old. At first, I figured it was more about CASTING a baby, than their lie, but I suspect it is partly both.

    They crashed on September 22, 2004. 108 days later, when they were “rescued” would be about January 8, 2005. Claire gave birth to Aaron around November 1st. That would make Aaron about nine weeks old. That baby looked older than nine weeks!

    But if according to the Oceanic Conspiracy, Kate was “five months pregnant” at the time of the crash, that would put her as “full term” sometime in January. If, according to the Oceanic Conspiracy, Aaron was five weeks old, he would have been born December 4, so Aaron would have been at least a month premature, and therefore should have been especially SMALL for five weeks!

    I think that the press is being asked to accept this story and are willing to wait to get details and confirmation. In reality, we’ve seen an entire country suspend belief in the truth because someone official asked them to, so why not the media at that press conference?

    We also have the time shift thing that has not been mentioned. How will THAT play into the rescue story?

    Babies have to be AT LEAST three months old before they can be used in movies. Kids below that age are not allowed per film industry rules, so no matter what, Aaron would have looked older. Though they could have used a smaller baby.

    Ok just a note that the age of Aaron, JMO, is being over analyzed. On Gossip Girls, those girls look 25, not 17. It’s TV people !

    I agree, Jack would be the type to vote for “Women and Children First”. As for the settlement, maybe it’s $3.2mm (laugh, I just remember Miles saying that to Ben and that conversation never being revisited or resolved – typical LOST, but keeps us all on our toes, and all blogging on company time) TGIF !

    OK I’ll admit it’s a possibility. So if they are “together” in the few months after the rescue, leading up to the service for Christian, the revelation to Jack that Claire was his sister creates a rift between him and Kate, so that they are not together at the time of Kate’s trial, but then they get back together at some point after the trial.

    I still lean towards them not being together at the time of Christian’s service. I think it’s possible Kate and Jack are still just friends at the time of Hurley’s party. Kate knows noone else in California, so it makes sense that she’d remain close friends with him, Hurley and Sayid, and she would know when Jack would be arriving at the party.

    But here’s another thought – at what point does Kate go to jail? At the time of her trial, she is being kept in jail, and that’s a couple years after their rescue. Why wouldn’t she be put in jail immediately after the rescue? She’s already proven to be a flight risk.

    I have been wondering how they picked the 06 too. Here are my thoughts:

    1. Aaron – because he is a baby.
    2. Kate – to take care of “her baby”.
    3. Sun – because she is pregnant.
    4. Hurley – because he is having some serious mental health issues and can’t take the pressure any longer.
    5. Jack – had a bad time with his appendix surgery and may need medical attention.
    6. Sayid – to ensure the lie continues on. (Okay, I admit that I don’t have a good reason for him).

    A couple more thoughts about last night’s episode.

    Sawyer was preciuos when he came out of the jungle with Aaron. Who couldn’t love him at that moment and feel for him??? He has always had a tender side that was close to the surface and he really showed it last night.

    Sad, sad, sad that nobody was there to meet Kate when the families were reunited. Broke my heart! I would hope that even if my mom and I were at odds with each other, she would put on her happy face and meet me when she found out I was indeed still alive!!!!

    I don’t think Jin dies. Sun didn’t act like he died, IMO, she acted like he was still there and she was sad that he couldn’t be part of the 06.

    The time line just isn’t making sense to me. Jack was bring his father’s body home on the plane when it crashed. Therefore, Jack must have found out that his father died not long before that. If 108 days has past and Kate and Aaron are at Christian Shephard funeral, it can’t be that long after they got off the island. But Jack said that he wrote the (eulogy?) 10 months ago when he was sitting at a bar. How could ten months have past? Why would they have waited 7 or 8 months after being rescued to have his funeral? (Plus, Aaron would have been a lot older.)

    It seems like the O6 stayed close right after they were rescued – going to Hurley’s birthday party, all showing up at Jack’s father’s funeral. What could have happened to split them up?

    And Keamy reminds me of a pigeon that way he gets that weird expression on his face and tilts his head before he hit Ben. I just want to throw a rock at him or something!

    Could anyone please help me understand what happened on the freighter when Des ran into onto the ship’s bridge and I think he was trying to turn the freighter towards the island but the instruments were not responding. Has the freighter drifted too close to the island? or is all that C2 creating some intereference? is this realization prior to the discovery of the C2 even significant?

    btw- Sawyer and Des are my favs and I’ll be crushed if they don’t make it!
    Thx-helen

    The thing tied to Keamy’s arm is transmitting with the radio room on the boat. The the transmittor on his arm is connected to the C4 in the radio room. The radio room was getting interference and preventing the ship driver from believing he would stay on the 305 bearing.

Im sure they gave the O6 an ultimatum, lie for us and be rich, or dont lie for us, be poor, watch Kate get sent to Prison, Aaron get put in a foster home, etc, etc. Either way the island is at some risk and has an intricate part in the lie.

    As far as the Christian Shepard funeral, IMHO, they have the funeral WITH Jack present because Jack seems like a “finish what I started” type of guy. Therefore, sometime after they are rescued, he says to mom, “hey how was Dad’s funeral?” His mother, recognizing he needs closure, she did send him after CS anyway, decides to have a “proper” funeral eulogy, whatever. Much smaller crowd, probably geared toward the folks who know and were just as close to Jack as Christian, and most importantly…IT’s TV!

    Well, it seems like Hurley took off from his birthday party after seeing the speedometer in the car with his father – I’m guessing that was the impetus for him landing in the psychiatric facility.

    Actually, it seems strange to me how everyone was so complacent after being rescued. Obviously, they are hiding the truth, but there doesn’t seem to be any urgency with respect to the island – at least not until weird things start happening (Jack seeing his father, etc.) At Hurley’s party everyone just seemed to be happy with moving on and treating the island adventure as a done deal….

    are you sure he didn’t pull the trigger first? At first I thought he didn’t, but then I thought that might have been funny if he had pulled the trigger and the gun didn’t go off again, which would be like the third time it happened, and he doesn’t get why. But this time he just says whatever and knocks Ben out.

    I agree with the thought that Sun blames Jack for Jin’s death. Her confidence in Jack had eroded and was going to go to New Otherton until Juliette flapped her lips. I don’t think Jin dies on the freightor, or Michael, because I think Mike’s in that C.

    I think not knowing what happened to Claire and realizing it’s his sister messes with him, as part of that whole island mojo.

    I love seeing Hurley trying to book off…like when he bolted from the car…hilarious.

    So probably when Locke goes down into the Orchid station, he will watch the Orchid Orientation video (was that extra footage, or will it be involved with the show?)

    I stated the same opinions as you somewhere on this blog about Jack/Sun and Jack/Claire. What if when Locke goes down to the Orchid, Marvin Candle or Hallowax is actually there? or has he been confirmed dead?

    We have seen numerous references to the Wizard of Oz. (i.e. Henry Gale, the balloon, etc.). The episode was titled “There’s No Place Like Home”. How does this sound?…

    Kate – Dorothy
    Aaron – Toto
    Jack – Scarecrow
    Hurley – Cowardly Lion
    Sayid – Tin Man
    Sun – Glenda The Good Witch?

    We can start with Charlie coming to see Hugo. Hugo won’t take his meds so Jack thinks he might squak. Then Jack sees his dad, he turns to drugs and alchol….it’s the island….they are changing fate…Aaron is either with the wrong folks or at the wrong place or both…it’s the island splitting them up….

    But Hurley goes to Korea, and when he’s there the first thing he does is make sure he was the only one… whats up with that?

    I think that they are just trying to be normal at Hurleys party. How else do you act at a party? but It’s different for everyone. Even in the FF from last season, Kate seemed perfectly happy to stay in California, and never think about going back to the island again. I think because she has been convinced of her purpose.

    Whos to say this whole 06 thing isn’t just some vivid glimpse of the future, that could be, say, part right, and part not right. (claire gets on helicopter…)

    Let’s assume the device on Keamy’s arm is a pulse monitor that will blow up the C4 on the ship if he dies. Consider the time differential between real world time and island time. There was a 34(?) minute time difference. So if Keamy was killed, would the freighter blow up 34 minutes before he dies? Or would it blow up 34 minutes after he dies, giving them time to contact the freighter tots (I still love that one) and tell them to get off fast?

    I think some folks (me included) have assumed that the secondary protocol (SP) was for Keamy to do if the original attack didn’t work. I now think it is what DHARMA folks were supposed to do if attacked. Sort of like turning the key was a last resort. So Keamy was instructed to read what Ben would do and try to beat him to the punch? What’s got me confused is, if the SP was a DHARMA manual why doesn’t Keamy know that the “real” Orchid is down a hidden elevator? He’s wondering around the green house waiting for Ben…

    I agree. The second protocol was developed by Dharma around 15 years ago. Maybe after the “incident” or when Danielle’s team reached the island. Good point, wouldn’t Keamy know the entrance ways and have them monitored.

    ***********************
    Ben told Locke how to get to the elevator, involving something about looking under a plant, etc. Possibly Keamy doesn’t know ALL THAT about the Orchid, just where and what it is. He had to wait for Ben. My guess is that they wanted to follow Ben to the “real” Orchid, but Ben came out with his hands up, so they had no choice but to intercept him there, on Ben’s own terms. Lets Locke sneak in to the elevator. Interesting that Keamy was entrusted with the mission, but not with everything: He wasn’t suppose to look at the “SP” unless it got desperate, and even then, only with the captain (with the second key). Hmmmmmmmm

    I suppose, I would think that the SP written by DHARMA would be more specific if it is for a desperate measure….no? Why would desperate folks holding a SP have to guess where the real Orchid is?

    Are there different whoosh sounds? I gotta pay attention to things like that. FB whoosh’s are like a Whooo-ooossh and back to real time is more of a shorter one tone whoosh.

    I guess it’s up for interpretation who “already nows”. Not all DHARMA folks worked in every station. In fact, I would say that only the Orchid workers even knew that it wasn’t a botanical reseach center. So a book about SP should be specific so that the person using it would know exactly how to save the island.

    The bit about Jin buying a controlling stake in her father’s business needs explaining. I am nor satisfied with this. It just can’t be done unless this is a much smaller company we imagined.

    In practice, you can’t take control of a company without the majority owner knowing about it. Otherwise ownership and strategic directions at companies would switch back and forth according to who takes a whim of owning it.

    (Whether the settlement was paid in dollars or Korean currency – as someone mentionned – is irrelevant.)

    To take control of a company, you need to pay a lot, hire bankers, lawyers, you need to let the SEC (or its Korean equivalent) know, you need to get your people elected on the board.

    POSSIBLE EXPLANATION:
    1. It is a smaller company than we thought
    2. the explanation resides in the two underlings meeting with her father. Maybe that is all the creators intend to give us for an explanation: an “error” was made. After all this is somewhat secondary to the storyline.
    3. Jin now has access to “powers” that she did not have before, she can now control money flows, time, people in a similar way as Ben was doing

    ok, one thing that really bothered me: do any of the people involved in planning the cover story really think people are going to believe aaron was only 5 weeks old during the press conference?

    I mean come on…. i know they had to make stuff up to make their ruse believable, but trying to convince anyone that aaron was that young there was ridiculous!!

    I agree that Aaron did NOT look five weeks old. At first, I figured it was more about CASTING a baby, than their lie, but I suspect it is partly both.

    They crashed on September 22, 2004. 108 days later, when they were “rescued” would be about January 8, 2005. Claire gave birth to Aaron around November 1st. That would make Aaron about nine weeks old. That baby looked older than nine weeks!

    But if according to the Oceanic Conspiracy, Kate was “five months pregnant” at the time of the crash, that would put her as “full term” sometime in January. If, according to the Oceanic Conspiracy, Aaron was five weeks old, he would have been born December 4, so Aaron would have been at least a month premature, and therefore should have been especially SMALL for five weeks!

    I think that the press is being asked to accept this story and are willing to wait to get details and confirmation. In reality, we’ve seen an entire country suspend belief in the truth because someone official asked them to, so why not the media at that press conference?

    We also have the time shift thing that has not been mentioned. How will THAT play into the rescue story?

    : ) P

    _____________________________
    __________________________________

    Babies have to be AT LEAST three months old before they can be used in movies. Kids below that age are not allowed per film industry rules, so no matter what, Aaron would have looked older. Though they could have used a smaller baby.

    Ok just a note that the age of Aaron, JMO, is being over analyzed. On Gossip Girls, those girls look 25, not 17. It’s TV people !

    =========================================
    The thinking more on that, time differential may go back and forth. Cause Sayid showed up long after the doctor washed ashore, but left the boat before he was killed. And he had a motorboat to get him to the island. The doctor just had the tide.

    Then again, the conversations between boat and island happen in “real time”. So maybe electronic signals go instantly. This does make it easier for the writers to manipulate event timings to their advantage and explain away mistakes in the timeline.

The more I write this the more I am convincing myself that they were picked by Ben. As was mentioned earlier, Jack would NOT want to leave people behind and go home himself so possibly he was forced to leave the island.

    I don’t think any of them were allowed to leave. It seems to me that the O6 more or less “escaped”. Sayid didn’t work for Ben until after his wife gets killed. I don’t think Ben “sent” anyone off the island. Again, I think they are off the island when it gets “moved” and ended up being rescued. Hence the big lie. Now the story turns to how and why the O6 have to go back and find the island.

    Yes, there are several characters that made it clear they don’t want to leave the island. So, I don’t think they were “chosen” per se. Circumstances are what chose them IMO.

    Okay don’t we have to say that the (O6) is saved by Whitmore. At the press conference there is an elaborate story with what happened with the survivors. I don’t see Tubs, I mean Sayid, and Jack sitting there with a map saying will go to this island and then this one. I think were going to see Jake make a terrible deal with Whitmore after Whitmore kills off two regulars like, Jin, or Sawyer. That’s why the rest of the survivors are sort of pissed at Jake and not his best bud anymore. I can see a gun to Sawyers head, and Sawyer tells Kate to do that little thing for him that pisses Jake off in the future. This could also be the point where Hurley and Jack officially stop there jock/fat kid friendship. Whitmore is the only person who has tried to hide the island with the fake plane crash; so it would stand to reason he wouldn’t want any loose lips about the fact it exists. Also really quick Blackrock / four toe statue theory. Has the island moved before? When the island moves again will we see the other half of this statue? Maybe the island moved and the Black Rock ended up underneath it?

    Excellent points. I guess that knocks Ben out of the equation of being the one behind it. As smart as Ben is, he surely would have tied up the loose ends. UNLESS, he eventually needed the lie to fall apart. No telling with him. On the surface it sounds more like a Locke and Jack lie. Locke wouldn’t do anything unless the island told him. And Jack just wants to get off the island. Details shmetails.

    Wow, amazing episode. I soooooo do not like Kate raising Aaron…it’s weird and he belongs with his mother…that is what the psychic told her!!! Here are my observations:

    1. I think it’s weird the O6 socialize so much…funerals, barbecues, etc. It’s odd and almost unnatural. You can see the guilt in all of them when they are together.

    2. That reporter did not believe Kate gave birth to Aaron…he knew something was up. That baby looks way older than 5 weeks!!!

    3. I want to know who coached them in the lie of their crash and survival. Someone fed them a story.

    4. What does Jack’s Dad have to do with Jacob? What is the connection?

    5. I am so glad Claire’s mother came forward and told Jack about Claire…it kills me that that is her grandson but she didn’t even know Claire was pregnant!!!

    6. Good to see the Others…about time they came around.

    7. I love that the numbers came back to haunt Hurley…brings us back to Seasons 1 and 2…the good ol’ days of the hatch!

    8. Who put the C4 all over the radio? It’s like there is always someone who does not want anyone near that island.

    9. Who gave orders for the second protocol to “torch” the island?

    So many questions! Such a BRILLIANT show!!!!!!

    My comment on the Seconday Protocol debate. IMO, though Keamy et al., call it the secondary protocol, that does NOT mean that is what Dharma thought of that book as, or whoever wrote the manual that Keamy is reading.

    The book/file Keamy was reading/glancing over, simply had the Orchid logo on it. That book could have all kinds of stuff written in it about The Orchid, and a general note of its importance. In that sense, Keamy understands that it is a place where Ben would go.

    Pretty sure Franks is gonna save the day and be the driving force who gets them rescued. Whatever puts the Oceanic 6 in so much shock is something totally bizarro, like seeing the island totally disappear for instance, and they have nothing to be able to say about it. If they told every one what the hell really went on there they couldn’t prove it (they would sound like crazies too), no island. If it is some how a “decision” that lets people off the island by Ben or Jacob or whoever, I think the Oceanic 6 are told some sort of lie, like they can go back or be in touch with or some how see again whoever decides to stay on the island which they later find out the truth about once they leave so they tell the lies they are telling because they think whoever is still on-island might as well be dead.

    I agree with that, but part of me is thinking that he ends up having to be killed or dying somehow because he realizes that Widmore really was behind the whole fake plane thing and he doesn’t agree with the lie about there being only 6 survivors. Funny though how cool he’s turned out to be since the first time we saw him Naomi was complaining about him being a drunk!

    i think i was seeing conspiracy weirdness in that episode when maybe there wasn’t any…i was thinking at the time that Jin gets off the island but isn’t considered one of the O6 for some reason and has had to start (or pretend) to start a new/different life for some reason…reading it now, it doesn’t make much sense…
    anyways, as for the current episode, i would say there is good reason to believe that based on the way it was shot and the way Sun looks back that that will be the last time they see each other (for a while at least)…

    Sun not being at Hurley’s b-day party: She lives in Korea and is pregnant. Many airlines will not allow women to fly in their last trimester. Also, if her pregnancy had some complications, her doctor would not let her fly. So her absence is not really a big mistery.

    Jack and Kate: Another reason why I think they were in a relationship right after getting back, at Hurley’s party, all the way to when Jack found out Aaron was his nephew,… is that during the trial Jack was asked about his previous romantic relationship with Kate. I believe this was in refence to their relationship AFTER they got back, because if it was in reference to their relationship on the island they could have a. denied it b. it would mean they were talking about what had happened on the island (unlikely) c. someone else had spilled the beans to the National Inquirer.

    If his FF Ben had the baton in Tunisia to beat up the two horsemen and at Widmore’s apartment when he talked his way past the doorman. He was wearing Dr. Halliwax’s parka, when he showed-up in Tunisia, not knowing which D/M/Y it was. He handed the baton to Locke as he was going to confront Keamy. I assume he ‘travelled’ thru the Orchid, after a fight with whoever, maybe Team Keamy. At some point, Locke has to get the baton back to Ben before he departs. It was ODD that they made such a point of Ben handing the weapon to Locke, when we have not seen it before on the island, and now, just yards from the Orchid.

    OK. Great episode by the way. Cant wait for the other 2 hours. Here is my take on the Jack and Sun issue. I think she is definatly gonna blame one of the returning six as the other half of Jin death. Here how it will go down. Keamy is gonna have someone Jack cares about as a hostage so Jack is gonna have to make the decision to kill Keamy and destroy the freighter or let the person he cares about die by Keamy’s hands. I think he will also already have the info about the C4 on the freaighter and thats why Sun will get off the freighter before it blows up becasue she has seen the explosives. so he is gonna make an educated decision when he kills Keamy. It MAY not be Jack that has to make this decision but as I see it he is the most likely candidate right now. Any thoughts?

  340. Tasha
    Comment 340, posted 2 years, 3 months ago -

    OK. Just a couple of thoughts after FINALLY catching up with all the comments.

    1. Someone had mentioned that they were told to lie…well a lot of someones. Why would they go along with it? To help their fellow islanders? What difference would that make if the island gets moved? I doubt they are going to go on some world wide mission to find it considering all the crazy stuff they saw there. It’s like…what if I saw a UFO right now? Nobody would believe me anyway. Even if Whidmore were to find it, he already knows its SOMEWHERE and it moved. He would just keep looking for it.

    2. Maybe they are fearing their own lives. Could this be why Nadia was killed? Did she know something she wasn’t supposed to?

    3. I also do not believe Sun acted like a new pregnant widow. I would be crying my eyes out on that plane. Even during the conference..you would think she would still be crying or start crying when they asked her about her husband.

    4. I do not think she is mad at jack about anything. I am pretty sure she is angry at whoever caused his death whether it’s Keamie’s explosive or Whidmore for wanting to torch the island. I even thought she was mad at herself.

    5. Where is everyone getting the idea that Hurley would use his lottery money to help Sun? Do you think he has some problem with HER? He thinks his money is evil and wants nothing to do with it…IMO. Maybe everyone who says that is right, but I get the impression he wants nothing to do with that money.

    6. I think Jack and Kate were dating and that he found out about Aaron…couldn’t look at him anymore, and then “changes his mind.”

    7. Lastly, I tried so hard to figure this out. The fact the baby looks older doesn’t bother me because that baby has looked way older for a long time now. What bothers me is why they are lying about his age. Maybe because if she was too far along, it would have been noticed she wasn’t prego with the Marshal and she couldn’t get away with lying. I am not sure why the trial for her was postponed for so long unless she posted bail and wasn’t allowed to leave the county. I also had thought that if the baby was 5 weeks old and she claimed she was breastfeeding him then maybe it had something to do with weaning. I tried to find info on California laws on women being convicted or going to trial with a newborn…didn’t find anything…so guess that can’t be it. Maybe dealing with island time?

    I think that’s it. I swear I couldn’t keep up with the comments…I have been catching up for hours!

    That’s some party they got going on at the boat now. I’m guessin’ Mike feels like someone who brought a butter knife to gun fight. So how come no one here has translated what Jin said to Sun?

    He said get on the boat the next time it comes and go back to the island

    That could revive the debate….instead of being pissed at Jack, she might be pissed at Sayid for bringing them to a boat loaded with C4 that kills Jin? Just throwing a bone…I still think it’s Jack.

    Well, if you said you saw a UFO, I wouldn’t likely believe you, but if you and FIVE OTHER PEOPLE who were SUPPOSE TO BE DEAD AND THEN WEREN’T all said you were on an island with mysterious powers, (but don’t look for it because it moved), I might actually think twice about it.

    As for Sun: What you said got me thinking. She didn’t act like a new pregnant widow (even though she technically is/might be) because she is suppose to be several months out from Jin’s death. That actually explains some of what I see as conflict in her at the press conference. To her, Jin JUST DIED (presumably), but she is SUPPOSE to act like he died several months ago and she has had survival on her mind, and has had some time to process and deal with her grief. Pretty hard to pull off, I would imagine.

    RGS brought up a good point before that maybe it is Juliet. Sun was already packed to go meet up with Locke, until Juliet told Jin what an AWFUL wife she was. IMO, Sun was not a good person pre-island. She had the nanny fired, as a kid, and I think she might have killed her lover. So maybe Sun feels that if she would have went to find Locke, Jin would still be alive.

    I believe some sort of “course correcting” or input/output rule is why there are only 6 in the Ocean 6. Some sort of discussion/debate/lottery must happen and six people get to leave, so naturally it’s the most popular six on the island. I’m sure Sawyer does some sort of “I’m chosing to stay on the island” routine based on FF’s of Jack Kate convo’s. And there are probably some other self eliminators like Locke, I think Juliet dies on island and her story ends (freakin’ hope so anyways) so she isn’t even considered. They would probably give her some sort of meaningful death type scenario though.

    What is really making me spin is wondering what happens to Des.

    2 good points Rita. Jin is dead, right (bone)? If his death happened not so long ago, wouldn’t she have expressed more EMOTION? Especially to her mother. But, then again I am not familiar with the Korean culture. Maybe showing EMOTION in public is a no-no. I’m pretty sure that disobeying your father is. She really just ignored her father. I believe Jin to be dead though. I would like to see the story though, as we saw Charlie’s. Sorry PJ.

    Two theories on ‘the temple’:

    Theory 1)Call me crazy, but I could swear that Jack and Kate stumble upon a ‘temple’ of sorts near the caves in season 1. I need to go back and watch that.

    Theory 2)What if the temple is INSIDE the 4 toed statue?

    Theory on ‘Adam and Eve’:
    Desmond and Penny?
    I think Penny might just give up her off-island life to accompany Des on the island after she finds it and realizes he can’t leave.

    Can’t wait for the rest of the season finale!

Did anyone notice that the co-pilot of the plane was holding a rabbits tail and said “we’ll need this for good luck with the folks we have on the plane” and, Hugo’s dad also had a rabbit’s tail on the key chain for the car he showed him. Any significance to that and the Rabbit video from the Orchid (15)?

    I don’t think the frieghter will explode. The guy on the boat said something was broadcasting from it. Probably a connection between the thing on Keamy’s arm and the explosives. If you stop the connection between the explosives and the device on Keamy’s arm, it won’t matter if Keamy dies. No connection, no explosion. Said is like McGuyver. Just give him a toothpick and a paperclip and he can fix anything.

    That was NOT a flashforward. It was a flashback to when he and Sun were first married and he was still a grunt for Mr. Paik. It was a simultaneous flashforward for Sun and flashback for Jin, meant to totally throw us off. At the end of the episode, Sun is at Jin’s graveside, and the date on the marker was 9-22-2004, the date of the crash. So the world at large has been led to believe he died IN THE CRASH, which we know he did not.

    The guy driving the boat told Desmond there was a signal transmitting from the boat, and that is what they couldnt turn, he went searching for what was transmitting and aparently it was the C4 (problably transmitting to the metronome on Keameys arm)

    All caught up on the comments here and elsewhere. Some disbelief that the “LITTLE” inflatable outboard was making a few runs from ship-to-shore as the freighter is 40NM off-shore. Obviously it is not. The freighter used to be at 80NM (nautical miles), recently Frank and Dan used 40NM as the distance. MY belief is that the freighter is probably closer to 5 NM by now. That is the only way such a small shuttle (not a real Zodiac) could go back and forth so quickly… and… without refueling its’ tiny 5 gallon tank. If seas were any rougher than what we have seen, that tiny dingy would easily flip. My point… the freighter, and the phenomena protecting the island, are collapsing toward the island. Time differentials are starting to get very close.

    It is hard to tell. If I were made to guess, I would say they are not the same. The black object next to Jack seems to be shiny and somewhat larger than the one Ben is holding.

    I don’t understand what you are saying about the shirt and collar, please explain? He is clearly wearing different outfits, is that what you mean?

    It seems that you have to leave the island on a specific heading. Otherwise, you don’t escape it.

    I think Des gets off the island, though clearly not as one of the Oceanic 6, as he was not on the flight. I am curious as to how he would explain resurfacing (in “Castaway” Tom Hanks was on a deserted island for 4 years). His story was that he was alone.

    Sun/Paik Industries/Hurley:
    Paik Heavy Industries, aka Paik Motors, Paik Automotive. Sun’s father “Paik” runs the company, hires his son in law Jin who he hates. Sun & Jin had an unstable marriage (she had an affair, he was supposedly her father’s hit man). Paik staffed Jin on a mission to deliver Rolex watches from Sydney to LA. Jin invited Sun along. Sun planned to dessert Jin at the Sydney airport. Her father probably knew this, as Sun confided in her decorator who probably worked for Paik too (I am guessing the part about the decorator to support my theory). Mr. Paik, of Paik Heavy Industries, aka Paik Motors, Paik Automotive (I am mentioning the full name again for a reason). I am thinking that Paik manufactured either (1) the fake Oceanic Plane or (2) The freighter, and that Paik was hired by Widemore. Obvioulsy Mr. Paik did not know Sun would be on Oceanic flight 815 (she was supposed to leave Jin at the airport), but he knew, and didn’t mind that Jin would be on the flight. This now makes me think that a select few knew that Oceanic 815 was doomed, Mr. Paik being one of them. Not only do I think Widemore and Paik are well connected, but both of them hated their daughter’s boyfriends/husbands enough to plot their dissappearance to the island. Further, I think Sun figures it out – somehow (and I welcome comments) and uses her settlement to buy the majority stake of Paik for (1) revenge / spite against her father for sending Jin and unknowingly Sun, on a ill fated flight and (2) to prevent Paik from doing more business with Widemore, thus preventing Paik from finding or disrupting the island. It is clear to me, in my opinion, that the Oceanic 6 share a common goal in protecting the island. As for Hurley, he did mention in this week’s episode, not wanting anything to do with his lotto millions. However, I’m sure he received a settlement from Oceanic Airlines and contributed to the Paik buyout because he wants to help Sun.

    I think it was a flashback within a flashfoward. After he delivered the panda, a nurse asked him about being a father and he said not to rush him that he’s only been married a year.

    I’m confused about this; If Jin dies on the freighter in an explosion, there’s no body to bury and hence, there wouldn’t be a gravesite but Hurley and Sun visited the grave. Sun said at the press conference that Jin didn’t survive the crash, didn’t make it off the plane. How would they explain finding Jin’s body and burying him?

    Sorry if this has already been addressed. I’m a new reader and poster.

    Hugo musta spent all that money because if he still had it why in the hell would he be such a cheap ass Asylum instead of a real nice one with lots of nice attendants and good facilities.
    Yeah; Hugo’s Mom is pretty clueless.

    Yeah, but Hugo’s Dad is Cheech!!

    Maybe I’m missing something, but everyone keeps talking about Jin being dead and remember we saw him in a flash forward, he was visiting another baby in the hospital while Sun was giving birth to hers. How could he die?

    I think it was a flashback within a flashfoward. After he delivered the panda, a nurse asked him about being a father and he said not to rush him that he’s only been married a year.

    I’m confused about this; If Jin dies on the freighter in an explosion, there’s no body to bury and hence, there wouldn’t be a gravesite but Hurley and Sun visited the grave. Sun said at the press conference that Jin didn’t survive the crash, didn’t make it off the plane. How would they explain finding Jin’s body and burying him?

    Sorry if this has already been addressed. I’m a new reader and poster.

    There does not need to be a body to have a gravestone. It is common when the body is not found to still have a gravestone.

    There were some jokes on a podcast about “smokey” and Cheech being on the same side. I wish I remembered the wording, because it was a good chuckle.

    I’d like to say officiating, but the officials have been horrible for both teams. Dallas came in tired and the Wings were able to take advantage. Now Dallas has their legs and Detroit hasn’t matched the intensity. I figured Wings in 7 anyway. If Franzan can play…Wings in 6.

    Sounds like a plausible theory to me. The choice of words Jack used in SNBH was very odd though when referring to Sawyer and his whereabouts.

    JACK: But he’s not here, is he? No. No, he made his choice. He chose to stay. I’m the one who came back. I’m the one who’s here. I’m the one who saved you.

    “He chose to stay”. That makes it sound like Sawyer COULD have left if he wanted to. JMO.

    I said it before, I think it’s more about who wants off island and who is “off island” when it gets moved, now I’ll add who is still alive. Rose, Bernard, Locke, Sawyer don’t want to leave. Jin, Claire, Des, Micheal, Juliette are either dead or still “on island” when it gets moved.

    If Sawyer “chose” to stay that makes it sound like anyone could have chose to stay on the island or return to the real world; but that doesn’t sit right with me because there were many Losties that certainly would have liked to return to ther real world: Bernard and Rose, Jin, maybe a few of the extras, etc… So I find it hard to wrap my mind around what Jack said about Sawyer “choosing” to stay…

    Found it:

    [KATE moves the curtain aside and looks out the window, then turns and walks towards SAWYER.]

    KATE: So what, I’m your prisoner?

    SAWYER: If that sorta thing turns you on.

    [KATE sits on the bed. Getting no reaction from KATE, SAWYER looks remorseful. KATE looks at SAWYER, angry.]

    KATE: What are you doing here with Locke?

    SAWYER: (mystified) I’m not with him.

    KATE: Yeah, you are, James.

    SAWYER: Then what are you doing with Jack?

    KATE: I went with Jack because I believe he can get us off this island.

    [SAWYER shakes his head and approaches KATE.]

    SAWYER: I guess that’s the difference between us.

    [SAWYER sits next to KATE.]

    SAWYER: (continues) I ain’t lookin to leave.

    KATE: Why not?

    SAWYER: (considers) Cause, I ain’t got nothin’ back there for me.

    KATE: (flabbergasted) What’s here that’s so much better?

    SAWYER: Why do you want to go back, Kate? Seem to recall you being shuttled off to jail before we landed here. So if you think there’s anything waiting for you back home other than handcuffs, you really don’t know how the world works. Look around us, Freckles. We’ve got roofs over our heads. Electricity, showers, beds.

    KATE: Yeah, how long, Sawyer? How long can do you think we can play house?

    SAWYER: (lowers voice) Why don’t we find out? (lowers his head earnestly)

    Proves to me they are clueing us in that several folks choose to stay.

    ^^^^^^^^^
    Yep, even in the last episode when Sawyer runs into Jack and Kate and they argue, Sawyer drops the, “what’s with you and gettin off this island anyway.” Couple that with Jack’s comments to Kate, plus the points you guys reference, I can see Sawyer opting to stay.

    Rose and therefore Bernard. I think some of the extras will all of a sudden want to stay, maybe because of something Alpert and his folks say or do. Jin either dies, or is thought to be dead by all of the O6, and definitely Sun.

    Since we think that future Jack is trying to get the O6 folks to go back, maybe he convinces Sun that Jin may be alive and therefore that gets her to want to go back.

    Well those who say that Sawyer’s “choice” to stay on the island was his not having anything to go home to may be right, but I think there might be more to it.

    I think Sawyer “chose” to stay behind and look for Claire. I think that the island finally turned him into the man who cared for others before himself. There may or may not have been romantic feelings for Claire, he did look at her very lovingly – but, it may have been a more big brother, than lover look – and was VERY protective of her, Aaron AND Hurley.

    I think that Jack’s SAYING that Sawyer CHOSE to stay (in not particularly KIND way, IMO) was more about Jack’s pointing out that Sawyer chose NOT to be with Kate. That Sawyer chose Claire over Kate.

    Did Jack tell Kate that Sawyer chose to stay on the island before or after Jack found out that Claire was his sister? If it was after, it may also be that Jack is grappling with the fact that Sawyer stayed on the island to look for Jack’s own sister and that this marks the beginning of Jack’s downward spiral, because JACK now feels even MORE responsible for Claire’s fate.

    Replying to myself…

    I looked it up.

    We saw in TNPLH pt1 that Jack finds out that Claire is his sister after his father’s memorial service. Aaron at that time is little, but must be about eight months old.

    AFTER the trial, when Jack and Kate are together, and Aaron is a toddler:

    KATE: (Sighs) I was doing something for him.

    JACK: For who?

    KATE: For Sawyer. I made him a promise. It… (sighs)

    JACK: (sighs) What?

    KATE: It doesn’t matter. It has nothing to do with us.

    JACK: Then why won’t you tell me?

    KATE: Because–because he wouldn’t want me to.

    ***JACK: But he’s not here, is he? No. No, he made his choice. He chose to stay. I’m the one who came back. I’m the one who’s here. I’m the one who saved you.

    KATE: Jack. (Sniffles) You can’t–you can’t do this. If you have problems, you need to figure them out. All right? ‘Cause I can’t have you like this around my son.

    JACK: Your son? You’re not even related to him!

    So Jack DID know that he was Aaron’s uncle. And the timeline is right for him to have been feeling even more guilty about his sister’s fate and Sawyer’s staying behind to look for Claire.

    If in fact some of the Losties do “choose” to stay on the island, it must appear safer to them at that point than it does where we are in the storyline now; what with Keamy and his men storming the joint. So I CAN see some of them wanting to stay if the danger has passed (due to the island moving or Keamy being eliminated).

    But looking at the big picture, if Kate goes back to the real world, WHY does Sawyer want to stay?? At best his friends will be Ben and Locke, I don’t see any chance of a love interest, Dharma supplies and island fruit can’t be that delicious….Maybe the reason will be revealed soon.

    Sawyer’s reason would likely be very different than Locke’s and Rose’s, but I don’t think either of them think the real world is better for them regardless of Keamy. Locke doesn’t want his old life wheel chair or not. Rose has a death sentence if she leaves….so nothing ventured, nothing gained.

    *******************************
    Very likely, Sawyer chooses to stay in a very selfless act, sort of “women and children first”, and “real men” let the weaker among them go first, etc. Jack has already decided to go, and of course feels really guilty once he understands why Sawyer is staying. He feels like a wimp. He has to rationalize his position and fight for it, more to convince himself than Kate. Then he finds out that Claire is his sister, and feels even worse for his selfish choice to leave the island and leave others behind while he gets on with his tidy and predictable life as a surgeon.

    Interesting that Jin and Sun were really the only “main characters” that went to the freighter on the first trip…makes me wonder if she does go back when the raft returns…gets back to the island and then it “moves”, the raft can’t get back to the freighter so she has no choice but to get on the helicopter to return to the normal world?

    Interesting that Jin and Sun were really the only “main characters” that went to the freighter on the first trip…makes me wonder if she does go back when the raft returns…gets back to the island and then it “moves”, the raft can’t get back to the freighter so she has no choice but to get on the helicopter to return to the normal world?

    interesting thought- any ideas on whether michael finally dies on the freighter? we keep talking about des and jin but michael is like invincible.

    Who was the woman getting in the raft to the Freighter wearing the pink shirt? I don’t remember ever seeing her. Ms. Anonymous?
    Maybe they just needed some filler bodies to get to the Freighter so they would have a few extra people to blow up later along with Jin and…maybe Michael?
    And if Michael still cannot die maybe he will get blown up and get all scarred up with terrible burns but still live. I’d like that! He did have some Keamy wounds showing when Sun and Jin talked to him on the deck.

    Maybe it’s Hugo that screws things up so that Jin can’t get rescued…and maybe why he gives Sun some bucks later (if that’s the case).
    Fav lines by Ben; How many times to I HAVE to tell you John? I always have a plan!
    That’s the good old Ben I love to hate.
    Could anyone ever make a more scary face than Keamy just before he smacks Ben? I hope that little baton gets used at some point by widdle old Ben on the group crowd of Mercenaries. Seems Benny knows his share of moves after how he dealt with the Arabs in the desert.

    And it seems the Airline Co. is somehow complicit in the coverup the way they are so emphatic in their story at the Press Conference. The spokeslady sure did play a prissy corporate bitch well.
    I don’t care how bad the Aussie accents get as long as I never hear Charlie sing again. All Aussie accents sound bad to me…like nails on a chalkboard.

    Someone mentioned that headstones ARE placed even if there is no body. Yes, indeed. My Uncle was lost in WW2 at sea in his fighter plane. When I photographed his “grave” a light showed up on the film going from the sky to the headstone! And the sun was behind me.

    Thoughts:

    1. Yeah! Do I now get to find out the story of Christian Shepherd and Claire’s mom?

    2. Michael is with Jin when he dies on the frieghter and Sun gives Michael his watch as some sort of thank you or keepsake.

    3. What the heck is stinkin’ Miles up to???? No good I bet! Can’t stand him and his shifty eyes. Is he in this whole thing for himself and rebelling against Widmore???? He is going to be a key to something. He just seems to be his own sneaky little entity. What does he know?

    4. What about the 3.2 mil?

    5. Somebody please make Faraday spill all he knows and explain his notebook!!!!

    6. Speaking of notebooks, whatever happened with that big pile of composition notebooks near the Swan Station from S1????

    7. Um…sorry I know they do like each other, but I don’t see any chemistry at all between Faraday and CSLewis.

    8. Sun knows more than the other losties post-rescue. Whao, totally off the wall crazy thought—okay, Sun is not at CS’s funeral and Jack says “10 months ago…blah, blah…,”… She confronts daddy and he asks how the pregnancy is going…Hurley visits her and he is glad no one else came…She wasn’t at Hurley’s party…Hmmmm……What’s going on with Sun and Hurley???? Could Sun be preggers a second time with Hurley, Jr.?????

    9. Maybe Rose and Bernard are the two “dead” of the ’08.

    re:Miles – que? I know he started-off a little unlikeable (LIKE SAWYER), but I am starting to like him a lot. I agree that when we get his big ‘reveal’, it will be huge, and will be the key to something important. Sawyer has grown from my least fave – to most fave – in one season. I hope Miles becomes more interesting re: the story… if not, then at least keep him for comic relief, now that Hugo is getting all future creepy. Miles may also make his “rainbow connection” with the island, and want to stay – LOST.

    re: Sun knows more… I don’t think that she ‘knows’ more… I think she is more willing to act on what she knows, compared to the other OA6. She may be very angry at dad, having learned some of his secrets, and at her life in his shadow, growing-up. She is just getting her adult confidence, now that she has money and doesn’t need dad. Time for payback! She reminds me of the Terminator – “I’ll be back” – no she is.

    re: Rose & Bernard = dead OA8. I hope not anytime soon. I see them (potentially) as the Adam & Eve corpses… hopefully after the island goes thru a few more time cycles.

    First off, probably the best Ep of the season, my jaw was on the floor the entire time.

    Im not really sure about all the confusion about the O6 lying about the rescue. They really have no choice….the world has already been told and shown that flight 815 crashed and there were no survivors. If any of the O6 come forward and say they were stranded on an island and there are more survivors, then whoever staged the crash has some serious explaining to do, it now turns into a worldwide conspiracy, not only that but you then have rescue teams searching for an island that cannot be found….im pretty sure that widmore has something to do with the O6 getting there settlement money since he is most likely the one who staged the crash.

    The O6 must have a good reason to support the consipracy that the 815′s have all died. I dont buy that a large payout would be justification enough for them to go along with it. Particularly Hurley. There is no way Hugo would want that bad karma. I’m at a loss as to why they would support Widmore and abandon their friends. Cann’t wait to find out.

    I think as long as Michael is on the freighter it will not blow up. Just as guns will not fire on him. Why would his work all of a sudden be done between now and when Keamy tried to shoot him? Unless fixing the engine was the end of his “work”. If I was Des, I would believe Michael’s story that the island won’t let him die, because I would know how crazy it is for anyone to believe that my conscience has been time traveling… As soon as I saw all the C-4, I would immediately want Michael to stand right in front of it. “Michael, I need you here, now!”

    Funny! Not a bad idea! Except we have no way to know when the island is done with you, or when it wants to use you at all. Other people have died (Tom, etc).
    The O6 have been interesting to watch as they cope with their lies.
    Sun: Lots of experience lying. No problems. Even seems to thrive.
    Hurley: Hates the lies and doesn’t cope well. Ends up back in the hospital (OK, not just over the lies, but it contributes to his state of mind).
    Kate: Also doesn’t seem to have a problem with it either. Just ambivilent, just one more lie.
    Jack: At first no problems, just another challenge, then eventually falls apart.
    Sayid: Reverts back to his military training. Becomes Ben’s assasin. Guilt? Default setting so he doesn’t have to think too much?
    Aaron: The only one who didn’t lie. Good for him! :)

    She never did specifically say she wanted to leave the island. The way that scene in S4E1 played out, it seemed to imply that people who went with Jack wanted to be rescued, and people who went with Locke wanted to stay. But perhaps Rose never had any intention of leaving the island, despite going with Jack.

    I just finished reading something on Dark UFO that was interesting…

    That black wand thingy that Ben used to whip the guys butts in the desert seems to be the same thing that he gave to Locke. But the interesting part is that they have a screen cap of Episode 1 when Jack wakes up, there’s something that resembles that black wand thingy lying right next to Jack… I wonder if it plays a part in time travel….

    I agree that Aaron did NOT look five weeks old. At first, I figured it was more about CASTING a baby, than their lie, but I suspect it is partly both.

    They crashed on September 22, 2004. 108 days later, when they were “rescued” would be about January 8, 2005. Claire gave birth to Aaron around November 1st. That would make Aaron about nine weeks old. That baby looked older than nine weeks!

    ##############################

    This was something that I never considered, and could easily just be a casting thing… but on the other hand There have been a few instances on the show now where people have appeared bigger.

    Two of Lockes visions: First was Walt. Locke even says.. “It was Walt, but he was bigger.” I guessed this could have been the fact that the kid playing Walt hit a growth spurt in real life so the writers tried to ease it into the script. I’m sure it could have been just as easily avoided though, if there wasn’t going to be any reasoning behind it. And several have stated that Claire looked different as well in Jacobs cabin. Bigger even.

    What really blew my head open though, was that I recently watched for the first time the “Raised By Another” episode from season one. Where Claire sees the psychic and he tells her that she absolutely MUST raise the baby herself or there could be dire consequences… really freaky episode from season one, good reference point for the whole Aaron thing. Which also has Claires really spooky nightmare/ vision of Locke. Plus, in the old episodes… when that whoosh sound pipes in, there is also a focus on the characters eyes. The pupils get really big and then really small when the whoosh sound happens.

    This adds to the idea that the FF and FB’s are more than just another form of narrative. I think they might have something to do with the actual thread of the story. Individual visions, that were once past visions, but are now future visions (after the hatch explosion maybe…)

    In older episodes it always seems that what we saw in the flashbacks was the influence behind what actions the central character took in the episode…(is it obvious that I just watched season one for the first time?)… here the same could be said with the flash fowards… But since the future is not yet written (thanks Doc Brown) several things can be misinterpreted. Especially when/if the past, present and future all overlap each other.

    anyway… I’m just bored at work again. Anybody make any sense of any of this?

    Some people might disagree with you on this point. I think it is believed that the future is written, maybe not completely but certain aspects are. I think that ties into the whole course-correcting explained by Ms. Hawking in Season 3 “Flashes before yours eyes.” If you have not seen the episode there is a great recap on LOSTPEDIA.com. It is a good website to use as reference for some questions.

    I agree. There is a ton of potential in this plotline. Everything (timelines) starts to sync-up BUT, things that were thrown WAY out-of-sync as they occurred in their individual timeline, find it hard to re-align. Perhaps Jack & Hurley show it best in their flashforwards – their mental health is failing. They are so far removed from where they need to be for ‘re-alignment’ to take place (island?/Orchid?) that they suffer terribly in future world. Maybe they even had a close encounter or two with an alternate version of themselves. Rabbit #15 could not be in the same room with its alternate self, as very bad things would happen. Jack & Hugo may have gotten too close to Jack #15 & Hurley #15… and bad things happened.

    I can just imagine future Sayid on a mission for Ben, with Ben outside in a surveillance van. Ben calls him on the walkie-talkie. “Sayid, I thought you said you were in position.” “I am Benjamin, why do you ask?” “Ummm… because I just saw you walk in the front door of the building.” “I did not. I am in the stairwell as planned.” Ben, realizing he has an alternate Sayid on his hands directs… “Abort the mission now, get out of there any way you can… just don’t use the front entrance!”

    Has there been any discussion on why the rabbit is rabbit #15? Did the first 14 rabbits die from testing of time travel? Have they sent the other rabbits into different times or different places? I don’t know if it will ever come up on the show but it seems worth discussing.

    I know it isn’t going to happen “officially” because it would require re-editing the entire series, but I bet there is an uber-fan out there just… er… ‘clever’ enough to do it.

    These are some interesteing thought on teh movie Donnie Darko that can relate to Lost a little bit.

    -”If a Tangent Universe occurs, it will be highly unstable, sustaining itself for no longer than several weeks.” In Donnies world, this is the 28 days to the end of the world.

    Next you have WATER and METAL. The book states:

    “Water is the barrier element for the construction of Time Portals used as gateways between Universes at the Tangent Vortex.

    Metal is the transitional element for the construction of Artifact Vessels.”

    -Next is the meaning of the engine falling into Donnie’s room. Note the following, also from the book: “When a Tangent Universe occurs, those living nearest to the Vortex will find themselves at the epicenter of a dangerous new world. Artifacts provide the first sign that a Tangent Universe has occured.”

    The engine is the sign that the tangent universe began. It is a metal artifact. Book says, “their appearance on Earth seems to defy logical explanation.”

    -Next is the receiver…which is DONNIE. The book says all of the following: “The Living Receiver is chosen to guide the Artifact into position for its journey back to the Primary Universe.

    No one knows how or why a Receiver will be chosen.

    The Living Receiver is often blessed with Fourth Dimensional Powers. These include increased strength, telekinesis, mind control, and the ability to conjure fire and water.”

    -Book goes on to say, “The Living Receiver is often tormented by terrifying dreams, visions and auditory hallucinations during his time within the Tangent Universe.”
    “The Manipulated Dead are more powerful than the Living Receiver. If a person dies within the Tangent Dimension, they are able to contact the Living Receiver through the Fourth Dimensional Construct.

    Pretty intresting stuff taht might relate to the creators in some way.

    This is more Donnie Darko stuff I found from 2005. Interesting stuff again!!

    This theory is based on the motion picture Donnie Darko (http://us.imdb.com/Title?0246578).

    When I started watching Lost, I noticed it has plenty of parallels to this movie.
    For example:
    The books Sawyer is reading: Watership Down and A Wrinkle in Time. In D.D., Watership Down is read, viewed as a film and discussed in class. The movie also features a bunch of rabbit references. Basically, D.D. is about time travel, hence A Wrinkle in Time.
    The term Deus Ex Machina. Donnie Darko learns of this expression through his teacher in a Watership Down-discussion. When attacked at Grandma Death’s house, he also whispers it.
    Airplanes suddenly falling from the sky. Donnie is killed by a jet engine from the future flight of his mother and little sister.
    Controlling ones destiny. Fate.
    Manipulating people to make the right choices, and in that way save the universe (in Lost-perspective; solving the great mysteries of the island).
    Donnie Darko sees Frank, the giant bunny rabbit, which in fact is a real person he has killed in the future (a Manipulated Dead). In Lost, Jack sees his father which is supposed to be dead.
    Numbers. Donnie writes 28:06:42:12 on his arm (time left until the world will end). 4 8 15 16 23 42 is written on the side of the hatch-entrance.
    Grandma Death (Roberta Sparrow) whispers to Donnie: “Every single creature on this earth dies alone.”
    Jack says to the rest of the group: “… But if we can’t live together, we’re going to die alone.”

    The focus on eyes. Almost every episode of Lost opens with a closeup of someones eye. Same thing happens when Donnie wakes up at night. He also stabs Frank in the eye. Locke said he had seen into the eye of the island.

    At the end of a song featured in the D.D.-soundtrack, Tears for Fears – Head Over Heals, they mention the mind’s eye.
    This is what Locke is explaining to Walt when he teaches him how to throw knives.

    I would say that John Locke is the Donnie Darko type character of Lost (the Living Receiver), the one with great innsight, curiosity and wisdom. D.D. is based on a fictive book entitled The Philosophy of Time Travel (http://www.tangent-universe.org/dump/time_travel.html).
    It states the following:
    “The Living Receiver is often blessed with Fourth Dimensional Powers. These include increased strength, telekinesis, mind control, and the ability to conjure fire and water.”
    It almost seems that Locke can control the rain (water), Locke knew it was Walt who burned the fleet up (fire), he is skilled at convincing people (mind control), he can suddenly walk (increased strength), and he in some way communicated with the “monster” (telekinesis).

    Donnie Darko being the Living Receiver means that he is somehow controlled by something in the future called Deus Ex Machina, and his mission is to stop the universe from imploding and the world to end. …As most of you know, the next episode goes by the name Deus Ex Machina, and is about Locke…

    I changed my mind. I want Ben and Michael (the obvious choice). Originally I thought Locke might be off the island since he’s going to the Orchid with Ben and maybe leaves the island with him….but I think Ben stays and “mans” the island.

    I think it’s got to be Ben or Locke in the coffin. Anyone else (even Michael) and I have to believe there would have been other people paying their respects.

    I think given that neither of them has family or friends helps, but I also think that when we see Jack at the funeral home, he is obsessed with getting back to the island…Ben and Locke were obviously most in tune with the island yet they generally weren’t well-liked by the other survivors and I think that’s why Jack would go to the funeral while nobody else would.

    I can’t quote it exactly, but I seem to remember D&C saying in a podcast that when we first saw the casket (S3 finale), we had already encountered that character in the show. This would then rule out all the freighter tots, Abaddon, and probably a few other people I can’t think of.

    I thought the funeral home was in LA. If it’s NY, then Michael seems really obvious.

    Although, I agree that whoever is in the coffin it will be a surprise and I doubt we’ll even find out how they got there. We’ll undoubtedly spend half a year trying to figure that out before the next season starts.

    I had not heard that. Good to know. I’ll load that one into my hard-drive (brain). Without doing the research, I also seem to remember them saying it was supposed to be Locke in the casket, when they originally outlined the storyies for those episodes, but then they reconsidered.

    The thing tied to Keamy’s arm is transmitting with the radio room on the boat. The the transmittor on his arm is connected to the C4 in the radio room. The radio room was getting interference and preventing the ship driver from believing he would stay on the 305 bearing.

    It is LA, not NY. Also, we learned in “Who is Kevin Johnson” that the obvious person is sometimes the right pick (it really WAS Michael on the boat). We can’t rule anyone out just because they would be obvious. Michael seems likely, but at this point it could be anyone, even someone really UNlikely – then we would be shocked, and spend all of our time trying to figure out how that person ended up alone and friendless in LA.

    being new to this blog, this is perhaps something that’s been discussed in detail in the past, but speaking of Walt, has anyone else been disappointed with how his character has been marginalized the last couple of seasons? It seemed like the writers were really building him up for something and now he’s all but an afterthought – almost to the point where re-including him in the story would be awkward and random…

    Can’t help but notice how they seemed to emphasize the small size of the casket.

    I meant that Jack went to the funeral hoping to catch Faraday.

    i think that is a pretty good theory…JAck seems pretty obsessed at that point…

    I want to say Walt as a guess but…Kate would go to his funeral, Sayid, and any other 06′er who knew about Walt’s funeral would go. They don’t hate on Walt because of his daddy, IMHO. Walt DOES fit in the coffin nicely though.

    these are all excellent points, but i’m going to stick by my pick…just in case i’m right…;) there would definitely have to be some kind of ‘as yet unknown reason’ for the other O6-ers not being there if it’s Walt but that’s nothing new for Lost…;)

    You always make me think… which is hard to do. If we aren’t ruling out folks, how about dead doctor with the slit throat, or dead captain, blasted for continued defiance of Keamy, and resisting secondary protocol.

    (and still, who passed the note about trusting the captain?)

    The problem with the person in the coffin being one of the freighter tots is that we don’t KNOW that they have no family/friends. We have no idea who would or wouldn’t attend any of their funerals. We need some back stories for them!!

    Hammer, did you mean to say you think Locke stays to man the island? I agree with that, although I think Ben remains on the island too, but he has the ability to come and go.

    And I’ll choose the same characters as you for who I think is in the coffin, but I’ll switch them. Michael is my #1 choice, and I’ll be very surprised if it’s anyone but him. The teenage son, being from New York, and the lack of attendees at the funeral make me think it’s him. However, if forced to pick an alternate, I could see Ben as the only other reasonable possibility.

    (Actually, I won’t be too surprised if I’m wrong – I’m pretty bad at predicting things like this)

    Maybe LOST will be the exception, but I have found that in general, shows are released one season at a time (whether currently on the air or not) and then once all seasons have been released separately, the DVD’s are repackaged (often in a really COOL set – West Wing was in a “presidential case” for example) and even MORE often include bonus extras that were NOT available in the season by season releases. Uber-fans will buy the complete set again, which I am sure is the intent!

    So I will be content with renting the DVD’s for now and will start saving up for the full series DVD set which will come out probably in late 2010… which SEEMS like a long way away right now!

    I was wondering if any one could accurately remember if Kate was shocked that Jack went to the funeral. If she was surprised he went this would fuel Ben-in-the-casket theory. He does have his need to “fix things” or get closure or whatever.

    I also thought Charlotte was the name of the psychic’s daughter that Claire saw who told her about raising Aaron. If this Charlotte is the same as that Charlotte then she might be a foster kid with no real family or friends from being shuffled around, thus no one would come to her funeral.

    I do realize it’s probably not Charlotte, I agree it must be some one we already met at the time of the ep but Charlotte is plausible (to me at least)and is a weirdo-back-of-my-mind-theory.

    I understand that D&C have said before that the coffin is NOT smaller than normal.

    First guess on who is in the coffin would be Michael but I do wonder if he blew up on the ship, why would they need a coffin?

    Second guess is Ben. His days of time traveling are over!

    Third speculation is Jin. Don’t know why, just a thought. Nobody would come to his funeral if they have already attended a memorial for him and no way would they believe his body was found now.

    Whoever is going to be in the coffin is going to be unexpected. Jack might be pretending to not know the person in the coffin because nobody in the outside world knows that he made friends with people on the island. When the episode aired a year ago I thought it was Eko because I knew nobody would show up to his funeral…they are all in Africa.

    Does anyone else think that it is possible that Jin doesn’t die? Whenever she visited his grave I didn’t belive he was dead. I think Hurley and Sun bought into her fathers company so she can find the island to find Jin. Why else would she have motive to be associated with her father?

    Charlotte in casket. No one would go (ever).

    Daniel in the casket. Some OA6 might go… unless he is the reason they can’t go back to the island, or more Losties can’t leave.

    Frank in the casket. Well that would be one good old fashion beer & scotch swilling wake.

    Michael in the casket. As Kevin or as Michael, I still think they would find away to get his memorial back to New York – close to mom & Walt.

    Ben in the casket. There was a non-Ben name in the paper AND Ben had many aliases… ? And that FF was a far in to the future that we have seen. (Maybe Sayid found out that Ben was responsible for Nadia’s death, and took him out.)

    what if its a funeral for someone who isn’t really dead; they are still on the island? there is just no body in the coffin. perhaps it could be a funeral for John Locke, and that’s the reason nobody goes. Jack goes because he knows that Locke was right about staying on the island. Even at the end of last year’s finale Jack exclaims that they have to go back.

    OK, I’m only at comment 378 but I’m going to post a few things now.

    TAsha earlier said they thought Kate didn’t know Jack was Aarons uncle. Since she knew Claire was his mom she would have known Jack was his uncle when Claires mom told Jack that Claire was his sister.

    I think the reason Sun buys controling interest in her fathers company is threefold.
    1. To get even with her father.
    2. Widmore is the other person she blames for Jin’s “death” and she wants to go toe to toe.
    3. Jin is actually alive and she wants to use Paik resources to find the island again. She is the new Widmore.

    The funeral director offered to re-open the casket so Jack could “pay his respects” but Jack declined (so there must have been a bodfy to view). The reason Jack showed up was not for the dead person (whoever he is) but because he wanted to see someone else there. Kate maybe? Or someone else? He asked who else had been by and the funeral director said no one, only Jack.

    Good memory and research. When I first saw the newsclipping over last summer, I remember seeing a JO. I first thought it was JOhn Locke. Then they introduced us to Kevin JOhnson. Again JO. I think that name was picked on purpose. So, those would be my two choices, with number 1 being Locke. I don’t think there will be anything left of Michael ( BOOM ) to bury 3 years later.

    I don’t think Ben stays on the island. I think we saw his NEAR-future in the Sahara desert. Just speculating.
    If it is Locke in the coffin, it doesn’t mean Locke won’t be on the show. As LINS stated above in comment 488. Who knows, whoever it is, it may take them most or all of Season 5 to tell us how he ended up there.

    If Sun thinks Jin is dead, that would go against her wanting to get back to the island to find Jin. I am also not sure if the O6 leave the island through the same means as Ben. I am assuming of course, that when Ben leaves the island he ends up in the future, whereas the O6 rescue seemed relatively close to the actual current timeline. But on a whole I like your idea.

    I agree that Jin won’t likely be killed, but I think Sun will THINK he is killed. I’m not sure that we really KNOW that Sun wants to come back to the island at this point. She seems more about revenge, against the 2 people she feels are responsible for Jin’s death (her father maybe? and…..?) I expect a Jin/Sun reunion later in another season.

    this has probably been said, but Sun could be lying about Jin’s death (and maybe left him behind also, promising to ‘come back’ later somehow)to protect him from her father…after all he didn’t really kill her lover like he was supposed to or the other guy that he just beat up instead…and her father definitely did not want him married to Sun…this would also explain why she wants to take over her fathers compnay…if she can take away his ‘power’ then Jin would be safe from him…hmm…i dunno, just a thought and i apologize if it’s not an original on this blog…;) i just don’t think tat they are really going to kil Jin off…

    ************************
    I agree that Jin won’t likely be killed, but I think Sun will THINK he is killed. I’m not sure that we really KNOW that Sun wants to come back to the island at this point. She seems more about revenge, against the 2 people she feels are responsible for Jin’s death (her father maybe? and…..?) I expect a Jin/Sun reunion later in another season.

    yeah, i gotcha…i don’t think Sun WANTS to go back to the island, and i don’t think Jun is dead/going to die…other than that, my mind changes every hour or so…REALLY wish the finale was this week…;)

    That’s where I disagree. I like Circusmom’s point number 3
    “3. Jin is actually alive and she wants to use Paik resources to find the island again. “

    yeah, and i can get on board with that for sure…but why? we assume to get Jin, right? so all i mean is that she doesn’t WANT to go back to the island but has to because Jin is still there…i just meant that i don’t think she wants to go back to the island like Jack or Hurley want to go back…if Jin was with her she wouldn’t care about going back, in my opinion…i TOTALLY agree that Jin is still alive…

    Regarding Sun and Jin and the island:

    My opinion is that Jin IS alive, and Sun knows it. I think that she DOES want to go back to the island and ALWAYS has, which is why she isn’t conflicted like Hurley is and Jack becomes.

    My guess is that the original O6 are coerced into the lie by Oceanic, which has probably been bought by Paik and / or Widmore when the share prices dropped down to near nothing after the crash (if either of the men didn’t already own it). But I also suspect that the O6 AGREED to the lie because they were promised that their friends would eventually be rescued.

    Sun wants to go back from Day 1.

    Ben convinces Sayid that working for him is the only way to get his friends rescued.

    Jack expects “someone” to follow through and rescue the others, but realizes that isn’t going to happen and that is when he starts his spiral.

    I like your opinion. I disagree on two points though. I don’t think Oceanic or Ben came up with the lie. As I posted in comment 311, it sounds more like a Locke/Jack type of story, full of holes, made up in the spur of the moment.
    I think also that Jack’s downward spiral began with the revelation of Claire being his sister.

    all of this sounds good to me…but i still think the only reason she wants to go back is for Jin…and maybe the ony reason she left is so she could have her baby off the island…guess we’ll have to see what happens and how much is ‘explained’ in the last episode…trying to not get my hopes up too much because for every question this show answers, it creates three more…;)

    Thinking back about this episode, I’d have to say the biggest surprise for me was Nadia showing-up to meet Sayid.

    I am a little rusty on her backstory so researched at – http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Nadia

    I forgot how many connections she has to other characters. Locke in LA. Charlie in London. Medical Lab Tech in Irvine, CA. (Miles backyard).

    I was reading someone criticizing the kiss they had. Then I thought – that was there first – ever. Not as kids, as captor, or 7 years of trying to locate her, never a kiss. Nice that they have each other now… too bad that we know how it ends.

    But I am wary. Someone, somewhere
    has to be pulling her strings – and not for good purposes either. How did anyone know to contact her? Did she claim the loss of Sayid publicly after the crash? Who’d believe her if she’d been dodging him for 7 years? Who got her access to the Coast Guard base? (String pullers I say). I think the rest of the finale will have a BIG reveal for her backstory, if not, then she will be very prominent in the start of Season 5.
    Dropping her into the story from out of the blue = suspicion.

    I didn’t think that was a surprise at all. We know that she was married and killed within 9 months of the rescue. She had to show up at some point.
    What about Claire’s mother being “alive and well” at the CS wake. The last time we saw her she was in a vegetative state for “many years” according to Lostpedia. When CS visited, he suggested to Claire to pull the plug.

    I love reading this Blog. Everyone has so many insightful idea’s. Here is my coffin thoughts.
    I am going to say first Ben then Locke. I want it to be a surprise so I am not leaning towards Kevin/Michael. I think that in true lost style we will all be surprised. I know that we have been leading up to this for weeks and Michael just seems like a let down. I keep thinking back to Kate not wanting to go and I know that she would have no interest in going to see Ben or Locke.

    Forgive me if this has already been brought up in this thread. I haven’t got time to read through all 500+ posts. What does everyone think happens to Jin? Watching Sun walk away with Claire’s baby, then look back at the door gave me a feeling she may not see Jin again. At the very least, she’s not going to be able to get close to him. I think Jin, Dez or Michael will end up having to make the ultimate sacrifice. My money’s on Jin.

    that has been a BIG point of interest on this blog…with some thinking that he lives (i’m one of those) and some thinking he dies…one thing seems pretty clear either way and that is that Sun won’t be seeing him again any time soon (if ever;)…if there is an ultimate scrafice to be made, i think it will be by Michael, who is clearly still searching for redemption and forgiveness…

    Sayid (put on his shoes!)… searching for many years for the one thing he cares about… Survives a plane crash AND a terrible three and a half month ordeal avoiding the island nasties THEN gets exactly what he was searching for before the crash. (suspicious?). I don’t care about what WE know… we know too much. Sayid’s perspective is the one that counts.

    As for Jack. (Put on his shoes…) Mrs. Littleton telling him, after an emotional eulogy, that Claire was his sister (ergo Aaron equals nephew) has to be huge for him. We don’t know her recent backstory yet, but we know his trial & tribulations to the Nth degree. She may be key too… Why so healthy? Why unload on Jack? Why now?

    I’ve thought about this too. Actually, Desmond said that if things didn’t go exactly as he saw them, then the vision would not happen. Even if Charlie did everything right, I guess that if someone else did something different (even Desmond), then the vision would be changed, so it might not happen at all. Interestingly though, if I remember right, it is the only one of his visions that we never saw – still not really sure if he made it up, or if (as you guess) they didn’t want to reveal to us that Aaron was not a baby. Good point.

    Comment 571, posted 2 years, 3 months ago -

    Ok, just thinking here…but I’m assuming that “moving the island” means moving the island in time, not the actual location of the island so the question becomes “when” is the island, not necessarily “where”, is that right?

    If so, then do you think it will be moved forward or backward in time? What possible issues could this create moving back in time? Would people that are dead suddenly be alive again (Danielle, Karl, Boone, Shannon, Alex, Libby, etc…) or would Mr. or Mrs. Coffin-Dweller be dead even if they were alive? That doesn’t sound like it makes sense…but what are the rules here with time travel? Would the whisperers suddenly become alive and be able to communicate face to face? How does moving the island effect the dead or soon to be dead?

    Maybe that’s why Sun thinks Jin is dead, she saw him die before the island “moved” so really he’s alive? Do things go back to how they were if the island is moved to a past time, like will events that already happened happen again?

    Oh the torture of questions that we really have no answers to!!

    What about Claire’s mother being “alive and well” at the CS wake. The last time we saw her she was in a vegetative state for “many years” according to Lostpedia. When CS visited, he suggested to Claire to pull the plug.

    Hmmm… okay, I think that L-O-L delirium is already setting in (Lack Of LOST), but Claire’s mother going from a vegetative state coma to healthy enough for transpacific air travel in a matter of a year or so *IS* very odd. Could Christian Shepherd have somehow had a hand in getting her to the island (or another of the vortices) to get healthy?

    Just a thought on the Desmond vision of Claire and Aaron getting on a helicopter, they could possibly do it in like Season 6, after Jack and whoever go back to the island. It would be a tricky way, since we all assumed (and probably rightfully so) Aaron was just a baby.

    I like your idea but here are the transcripts.

    DESMOND: What I saw, Charlie, was Claire and her baby getting into a helicopter. A helicopter that lifts off–leaves this Island.
    CHARLIE: Are you sure?
    DESMOND: Aye.
    CHARLIE: A rescue helicopter on this beach?
    [Desmond nods]

    He said her baby. That does not necessarily have to mean Aaron though.

    New podcast came out and they confirmed what most of us suspected about last season’s Finale and the island stopping Jack from comitting suicide.
    They also said that the island would not let Widmore, Ben, and Jack die UNTIL the island was finished with them.

    Or maybe Ben or the island healed her in some agreement with Claire, as Ben did for Juliet and her sister. Another MIRACLE.

    I was reading someone criticizing the kiss they had. Then I thought – that was there first – ever. Not as kids, as captor, or 7 years of trying to locate her, never a kiss. Nice that they have each other now… too bad that we know how it ends.

    I went back through the posts, and I was the only one who complained about anything, so I think you were thinking of my post (#151). However, I said I was disappointed in the REUNION rather than the kiss itself. My exact words were “I am wholly disappointed with the Nadia reunion. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED that it happened, but sheesh, a little BUILD UP would have made it SO much better. Remind us how long Sayid has PINED for her, or something! LOL”

    DocH wrote:

    But I am wary. Someone, somewhere has to be pulling [Nadia's] strings – and not for good purposes either. How did anyone know to contact her? Did she claim the loss of Sayid publicly after the crash? Who’d believe her if she’d been dodging him for 7 years? Who got her access to the Coast Guard base? (String pullers I say). I think the rest of the finale will have a BIG reveal for her backstory, if not, then she will be very prominent in the start of Season 5.
    Dropping her into the story from out of the blue = suspicion.

    Sayid’s name would have been INTERNATIONAL news several days, so I think her hearing about him, and pulling some strings of her own to get there (perhaps getting a press pas) is not THAT out of the ordinary.

    That said, she DOES have some curious Lostie connections, so perhaps she is a marionette of one of the bigger players.

    Forgive me if this has already been brought up in this thread. I haven’t got time to read through all 500+ posts. What does everyone think happens to Jin? Watching Sun walk away with Claire’s baby, then look back at the door gave me a feeling she may not see Jin again. At the very least, she’s not going to be able to get close to him. I think Jin, Dez or Michael will end up having to make the ultimate sacrifice. My money’s on Jin.

    I agree that the “Sayid Jarrah” name (plus 5) would get global exposure for a few days, and that it is very likely that Nadia saw him on the nightly news, and said ‘there he is, he’s alive!’ But she is not part of the press, and she did not get a press pass, because a press person with a press pass would have gotten into the press conference. Nadia showed-up after the press chat, with a security escort, and only after her name was brought before Sayid, with his consent, was she allowed to meet with him.

    I’ve been to dozens of these (press events) and… she was deliberately excluded… BUT… someone pulled strings to get her close to Sayid… immediately after Sayid returned to ‘civilization’.

    This is from he show way back in Season 1 when Sayid first interrogates Nadia.

    Yes, I think Jin will make the sacrifice on the freighter.

    I’m curious to see what role Alpert will play.

    Jacob moves his cabin, so he knows how to move the island. I think it will be physically moving the island.

    I agree. If it moves in time, then it will be ALSO in time, not only in time. The move will be a physical one. Otherwise, why is it so hard to find the island for those who have been there? Why wouldn’t they know where it is? Yes yes, I know about the protective “bubble” around the island, but if it was always in one place, then Widmore et al. would have surrounded it looking for a way in. It HAS to be a physical moving.

I really think I need one of those LAA meetings. Anybody watch Mathew Fox on JK last night?

    Anyhow I saw that Lost was coming on tonight and I am sad.

    1. Because it’s gonna be the season finale soon. I know not tonight but still…

    2. Only 2 more seasons left.

    3. Because I miss everyone that died. (Or is gonna die)

    So I watched an old post on my blog…it’s one of my favorite Lost videos and I think it’s great to look back and see some of the great scenes from season 1:) The song is a little sappy but I love it and I MISS CHARLIE!!!!!!

    If you are referring to 5yo John’s drawing in black crayon of what looks like “Smokey and the man,” the drawing actually has NO toes. The right HAND has four fingers and the left hand has five. So I don’t think that it is particularly relevant, but it WOULD be cool if it were true. *g*

    Why do you think Sun knows that Jin is stil alive on the island (which initself might or might not be true). I don’t remember her saying anything about wanting to find it. She seems to want to get revenge on her father (by taking his money) and to want to go after one other person, because she holds them responsible for Jin’s death. If anything, I think that IF Jin is alive, Sun DOES NOT know that he is alive.

    I don’t think Kate necessarily knows that Jack is Aaron’s biological uncle. She was not close enough to hear the conversation between her and Claire’s mom, and I doubt Jack would tell her.

    Sun wanting to find the island is just a theory. That’s a long-term theory. You believing Sun doesn’t know Jin is alive is also a theory.

    You may be right, but the look that Kate gave Jack after Carole walked away told me that she heard everything.

    But she was at the other end of the room talking to someone else. I think the look was because a stranger had complimented her child, and she looked at Jack with the “I’m glad we’re off the island and a family” look.

    Still, after the trial she tells Jack that she understands why he doesn’t want to see the baby, but until he does there will be no coffee….etc. I guess he could have made up some sort of story. Seems that his whole future becomes a big lie. hence, the breakdown. On the other hand, i dont know why Jack wouldn’t tell her. You gotta let it out or sweat it out, right?

    Is there any place online that you can watch Lost from season 1 for free? I of course own ALL the seasons so far but my sister has now finally decided she wants to watch (even though I have been trying to push it on her since season 1.)

    Anyhow, just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible???

    You got me reading the transcripts again and I read Jack’s testimony. He testified that the crash occurred somewhere in the SOUTH PACIFIC.
    This looks closer to the INDIAN OCEAN to me but I am not a world traveler.

    This reminded me of interesting debate some of us had in the “archive” LOST HIATUS – UPDATE dated March 31. I still don’t understand how a plane taking off from Sydney headed towards LA, crashes near Membata?

    ********replying to myself

    I posted this way back in comment 11 and have been giving it more thought reading through your ideas on the issue.
    Te reason i thought Locke was because he was going to the Orchid. I think he goes back to the “main land” gets an alias, ends up back in a wheelchair, is tormentes becase the island is “through with him” and dies (not sure on the how part yet possible suicide, murder)
    Jack obviously blames himself and is tormented by this. He has no father, possible no mother, no siblings, wife/girlfriend etc hence no family or friends showing up. I speculate that he had a son he did not know about.

    I also think that Locke (or possible Jacob)could be the Economist. Elsa stated that her boss did not like technology. Ben said to Locke when he first went into Jacobs cabin “Like you John, Jacob does not like technology”

    I to believe it to be Locke. The only problem I have with your theory is Locke does not want to leave the island. Just because he is going to the orchid does not mean he is leaving yet. He might end up leaving sometime in season 5. UNLESS, Ben or Richard give him an ultimatum at the time-machine or whatever it is….Leave the island or I’ll kill your friends…something like that. Or maybe moving the island causes some sort of time-displacement that Locke cannot control.

    I don’t think it will be Locke. I think that it will likely be Michael. Would you all be really disappointed if it does turn out to be Michael? We all thought it would be “too obvious” if the “man on the boat” turned out to be him, and it was. Likely the coffin will be Michael also. Maybe it would only be so obvious to us LOST-bloggers.

    yeah… moving the island “in time” is still in play, as opposed to “place-to-place”. Still too soon to pick which. Of course John Locke always messes everything up in his life… so if he winds-up being the last man standing on the island, he may take the island too far back (or forward) in time.

    NO! In fact, I believe that pop-up was specifically for you, as anyone who would care to watch and enhanced episode would know that Hurley and Charlie were friends. I bet if I re-watch that enhanced episode at the end of that pop-up will appear a faint “PJ,” as in, “…he sacrificed and drowned…PJ.” Just as sure as we won’t see a toddler Aaron and Claire get on a helicopter, Charlie has died (but they’ll probably bring him back for some purpose contracts permitting lol).

    Whoa. Not a request. Not the blog police. Not drawing the line or saying where the line is. Just asking where the line is? Personally, if someone wants to tie in the enhanced version to TNPLH Pt1, that is fine. Many of us go back and rewatch to support a current thought, not a prob. My line would be someone that watched the ep for the first time and dropped by to explore the older ep. Easy, simple line, I think.

    Other than that, “There’s gold in them thar pop-ups!” Seems like more than twice as many than ever before. Could be wrong on this but did I see 90 miles to the freighter on one pop-up. Reading glasses were down… could have been 40.

    Another pop-up set me straight. Emily hit by car a 6 months preg, Locke born at 7 months. Originally I lumped that into a single event. Now it seems they were a month apart. I think it was that Emily had scratches and abrasions, plus bloody doctors/nurses… I just thought it was at the same time.

    Can’t wait for the (enhanced) transcripts.

    Nope. Something to the effect that once they were on their first island after a day in the water, a typhoon/cyclone/hurricane (same thing) washed up a wreck. They got their raft (to go to the second island) and supplies following that storm, from the washed-up wreck.

    The tsunami was 1600 miles away and “around the corner” with about 1000 miles of land in between the two places. ZERO impact from the tsunami where they where bedded down.

    I have been wondering how they get to the 1st island in the first place. If they don’t leave through the Orchid station (which is what I still think will happen), but leave in Frank’s chopper instead, they can’t land on the freighter because it has blown up, so they end up ditching in the Ocean (where Frank goes down with the chopper) and are THEN washed ashore, probably on a raft that was in the chopper, so that they NEVER WERE on island #1. They wash ashore on island #2, where they already have their lie story honed, and make up island #1 to explain where they have been all this time. Plausible?

  654. DocH
    Comment 654, posted 2 years, 3 months ago -

    OA6 were never on island #1. Yeah.
    Why does Frank have to ditch the helo and perish? No need.
    Why does the freighter have to explode? No need.
    Why wash ashore on Sumba? No need.

    How about this – the freighter chugs close to the “alleged” crash site, once LOST island disappears. Frank flies the survivors (OA6) that they can build a reasonable lie (conspiracy) around, and drops them on a beach on the populated island, with a raft so it looks like they just made it ashore. Frank returns to the freighter with the helo and the freighter goes on its merry way with the survivors they cannot comfortably build a lie around AND the bodies of those that perished in the process AND the islanders that they did not have to build a lie around (Des, Juliet, etc..).

    Well, my thought is the freighter DOES need to explode. The biggest clue is the C4, it’s not there for looks. Next is Michael, he’s likley made good with the island and now can die and I believe this is how. Third is Jin, depending on how Sun gets to the chopper…I think he stays on the freight…why is he getting a fake ID? Fourth is the “extra” losties that came to the freigher on the small boat….how do they die or why fake IDs?

    Hello there, insightful lostbloggers!!!
    This being my first post i was hoping to contribute a lot more, but after reading all 653 comments (plus spending another two hours exploring the lostpedia labyrinth) i kinda feel like i got Smokey in my head…
    I ‘d really like to reply to some of your comments, but i’d rather unload my thoughts in a random way (since i now begin to understand that i’m sure for almost nothing…).
    So, IMHO (with lots of wishful thinking):

    1. Jin will be alive after the S4 finale. “Alive” in the simple sense of the original(?) timeline. No trickswith time-shifting etc. Sun, whether she knows that or not, will try to find the island’s new position (in time and/or space). Not only will she use her (dad’s) company to do so, but she could join forces with Penny!
    Daughters vs Fathers!!! Which leads us to

    2. Desmond doesn’t die either. Good ol’ Des along with Jin have to stick with Claire (her current state needs to be discussed in another post and/or thread), cause she is the third daughter (Christian Shephard-Claire, Charles Widmore-Penny, mr.Paik-Sun). Of course i might be wrong and Des and Jin share the fate of poor Charlie (Claire+Charlie, Penny+Desmond, Jin+Sun). Hope i’m coming through here…

    3. The frighter doesn’t have to explode. Either Michael and/or Des and/or anyone else aboard interrupt the transmition of Keamy’s pulse detector, or Keamy himself is sent into a different time and place throught the Orchid (by Ben and/or Locke and/or Richard&co.)…

    I got so much more to write, but i’ve already produced a HUGE post (sorry folks!), so i ‘ll continue later… {8>)

    I will need to go back to verify, but I THOUGHT that the pop-ups said that LOCKE was born at 6 months and BEN was at 7 months, both from a mother named Emily (which they did NOT confirm NOR deny might be the same person).

    Ok, i guess i can’t wait to continue…

    4. I agree with DocH and anyone else thinking that Nadia’s return is suspicious. (Don’t get me wrong, i wanted Sayid+Nadia to reunite, though i had imagined a much deeper, karmic romantic scene…). Anyway, my guess is that Nadia has been working as a scientist for Widmore/Dharma research and is encouraged to approach Sayid in order to lead the “BAD GUYS”(???) to the island.
    So Ben kills Nadia or orders someone else to do so, and then (on October 2005 in Iraq)persuades Sayid that the hitman was that guy working for Widmore. So he gets Nadia out of his way and Sayid under his influence with another of his plans.

    5. As for the coffin debate i ‘ll have to go with the ones (sorry guys, but i can’t go through the whole page to find your comments’ # right now) who believe that this is another Ben’s plot, in order to persuade Widmore and everyone else who might be after him that he is dead. Of course the coffin is empty and as for the guy who asks Jack whether he wants to open the coffin, he is a fake, too (Ben knows that Jack won’t have the guts to say yes…).

    I feel much better now that i ‘ve shared these thoughts!!! Sorry if i put too much on the table, hope i didn’t dry your eyes out for nothing… {8>)

    I can’t find a map to confirm that, DocH, but I will take you at your word. The maps I found show the area in the “press conference” maps to have SOME issues, but nothing major enough to argue the point. The earthquake that CAUSED the tsunami would have been felt, but perhaps not enough to warrant it coming up at the press conference.

    Here is a web page with many simulations of the tsunami and the affected area. DocH is right on. The rescue point is clearly not affected by the tsunami. It is much further east.

    Last night’s two enhanced episodes (Something Nice Back Home and Cabin Fever) are not yet available on ABC’s website. Hopefully, they will be eventually. In the meantime, everything prior to that is available in the enhanced version here:

    Yes, Locke was born May 30th, 1956 at six months, and Ben was born December 19th, 196? at seven months.
    I do not believe that they have the same mother though. Ben’s mom and Locke’s mom did not look alike. Ben’s mom died, Locke’s is alive. I guess you could argue that the mom we saw for Locke was his adoptive mom, but she signed in at the Mental Hospital as “Emily Locke”, so it would have to be a complicated/ twisted plot. I don’t think the writers would go into all that confusion.
    My believe- Emily Locke is not the same person as Emily Linus.

    Partly right. But you got the right part right. The pop-up did not mention Locke’s birth age but did mention Ben’s at 7 months. The same time, I believe, that pregnant women on the island seem to die, as his mother did.

    Yeah, if Michael blows up, there’s no way he’s in the coffin. He’d be in bits and pieces somewhere in the ocean. It’s still a little baffling to me why Michael is the “obvious choice” for the coffin.

    The reason the word obvious is in quotes is because many of us think it is obvious if you put the clues together. The obit says things about being male, maybe having a teenaged son, (this part has been taken as racist, so don’t attack me, I’m just pointing it out) the funeral home was assumed to be in a black neighborhood, no family or freinds visited (up to this point, he’s the only one with an alias besides Ben), etc.

    So it’s not REALLY obvious, but “obvious”.

    I to believe it to be Locke. The only problem I have with your theory is Locke does not want to leave the island. Just because he is going to the orchid does not mean he is leaving yet. He might end up leaving sometime in season 5. UNLESS, Ben or Richard give him an ultimatum at the time-machine or whatever it is….Leave the island or I’ll kill your friends…something like that. Or maybe moving the island causes some sort of time-displacement that Locke cannot control.

    **********************************
    I don’t think it will be Locke. I think that it will likely be Michael. Would you all be really disappointed if it does turn out to be Michael? We all thought it would be “too obvious” if the “man on the boat” turned out to be him, and it was. Likely the coffin will be Michael also. Maybe it would only be so obvious to us LOST-bloggers.

    #####################
    Lost4ever, i believe you are right about the time frame that Locke would most likely leave the island.

    Rita, I am sticking with Locke. I wouldn’t be disapointed though if it were Michael, only confused as to how that would happen.

    OA6 were never on island #1. Yeah.
    Why does Frank have to ditch the helo and perish? No need.
    Why does the freighter have to explode? No need.
    Why wash ashore on Sumba? No need.

    How about this – the freighter chugs close to the “alleged” crash site, once LOST island disappears. Frank flies the survivors (OA6) that they can build a reasonable lie (conspiracy) around, and drops them on a beach on the populated island, with a raft so it looks like they just made it ashore. Frank returns to the freighter with the helo and the freighter goes on its merry way with the survivors they cannot comfortably build a lie around AND the bodies of those that perished in the process AND the islanders that they did not have to build a lie around (Des, Juliet, etc..).

    ****************************
    Nah, too many loose ends! Frank and the chopper go down in the drink for sure. Frank will do all he can for the losties first though (lots of drama). The freighter blows up too, no doubt about it. Remember Sun looking back as she ran out onto the deck? The next scene will be a giant explosion with Sun jumping off the ship with the baby. Very dramatic, lots of music, us sitting on the edge of our seats (as usual!). The zodiac boat, on it’s return to the ship with the next group of potential survivors, will pick up Sun and Aaron and return to the beach. Sun will think Jin is dead, but he won’t be. Not sure about Michael, but the red shirts are toast.

    Enhanced (Non-Canon)
    + Podcast (Semi-Canon)
    = Tell/Show us when THEY want (Canon)

    Have we ever seen Widmore & Abaddon in the same scene… Or talking on the phone to one another… Or reading letters from one another.

    I think we assume (great guess BTW) that Abaddon works for Widmore, but since the producers aren’t confirming that… then I guess they want to wait and SHOW us.

    [I would settle for Abaddon getting a paycheck from Widmore and then griping to himself... "darn you old man Widmore, you always take too much federal withholding taxes out of my paycheck. I filed a new W-2 three months ago."... then we'd know WidMan was the boss.]

    LOL.

    It does disturb me, though, that some THIRD PARTY was doing the pop-ups. To me, that means that any “confirmation” of a theory is just based on that third party’s OPINION and not an actual confirmation.

    I won’t bring Charlie up again, so let’s use Christian Shephard as an example. We’ve had varying theories that he isn’t really dead, or he came back to life (with an island time change) or what have you. Last night, the enhanced episodes told us several times that he was dead. I thought that was the PRODUCERS confirming that he really IS dead. Now, not so much.

    Do you think there’s any way that Jack knows (bearded ugly suicidal Jack) that the island won’t let him kill himself? I mean, Michael knows he can’t die until his work is finished so maybe that’s what is driving Jack crazy…trying to figure out what he’s supposed to do and that leads me to wonder if that’s why he goes to (supposedly) Michael’s funeral? Maybe it gives him hope that one day the island will be through with him? Wow does that sound morbid or what!!

    You don’t need to apologize for sharing information! Thank you for doing it! My tailspin is only because I now have to revisit the decisions I’ve made about where I think the show is going because I may have based those decisions on something from an enhanced episode!

    It’s kind of like when you are seven-years-old and see your school teacher at the grocery store. You mean she has a life? She doesn’t LIVE at my school? She actually EATS? Okay, I have to rethink my world for a few minutes.

    This is a long shot and Im going out on a limb but my 2 choices for whom is in the coffin are
    1. Juliet. I think Ben who does have a thing for her gets her off the island and some how Jack knows this and might be part of the reason he leaves Kate? Anyhow she dies and Jack feels guilty. When he says he is not a friend I think she means more to him then a friend and she is not family.
    My second guess is Walt.
    Ok tell me why Im wrong.

    ************************
    Well, Juliet isn’t a man (so that really does rule her out), and Walt doesn’t have a teenage son (so far as we know!) so that would rule him out as well. Good thought process though.

    somebody WAY earlier in these posts had stated that you can really only read the words ‘man found…’ in the article and therefore the article isn’t really conclusive of anything…i think i have to agree…now, while i would

    obviously assume the next word would be ‘…dead’ i think that assuming anything in regards to this show can be foolish…so how much faith is everyone putting in what is legible in the newspaper article?

    Sorry i forgot to sepearte the comments…AGAIN…;)

    Lostpedia states that the article was just a prop and will be re-written. I know it is not “canon” but if true, then we have no clue who is in the coffin. I just do not see Jack getting so upset over Michael.

    *******************************

    that is actually a great point…it IS really hard to see jack getting so visibly upset if it’s Michael…unless something happens that drastically changes his opinion of Michael bewtween ‘now’ and ‘then’…my guess would be that right ‘now’ (the on-island now)Jack probably doesn’t think too much of good old Michael…so again, great point in my opinion…;)

    this is also an intersting take on it…in which case it could be Michael after all…hell, who knows…just can’t wait until next week…and thanks to everyone for being cool with me joining in the conversation this late in the game…i try to do my research(and reading previous posts) before posting so as not to be totally annoying…;)

    On one hand it is not safe to assume and on the other it is. Two contradictory statemnets. IMO, I agree with your original statement about non-assumption. DocH left a link above (#681) which describes what is canon and what is not. I guess it is up to the individual what to believe. :)

    I just hope that if Michael is to be blown up on the freightor, that he clearly does something that would understandably release the island’s death defying grip on him. Thus far I don’t see what he has done on the freightor, especially given that Keamy was unable to shoot him.

    okay, so basically you can believe the pop-ups or not believe the pop-ups, depending on the kind of person you are and how trusting you are…that about cover it? haha…that’s about as clear as everything else about this show…;)

    okay, so, just for fun i’m going to go on record with:

    - i DON’T think Jinn dies…
    - i DO think Abaddon works for Widmore…
    - i DO think that is Walt in the coffin, regardless of it’s size…just a hunch and probably wrong, but what the hell…;)

    In LOST world, people who SHOULD be dead, aren’t necessarily dead. Anyone in the hatch when it blew would automatically be dead (not just running around naked in the jungle). Claire would never have survived the bombing of her house in Otherville (Well…I don’t really think she did). Actually, NO ONE should have survived the plane crash itself. Therefore, just because the ship is going to Ka-boom, doesn’t mean Jin or Michael will necessarily be dead. In fact, I’m willing to stick my neck out that they won’t die (OK, that makes me automatically wrong now, doesn’t it!!). The ship will blow sky-high, and everyone will see it and think bye-bye Jin/Michael/red shirts, but somehow they will survive (Well maybe not the red shirts….).

    What if…..we aren’t in the loop as much as we think we are when we think about who is in the coffin. There’s a lot of “flash forward” time that we haven’t been privy to. In other words, what we DON’T know, depending on what has transpired, may allow for a real jaw dropper when we find out who really is in the coffin. For example, perhaps it’s actually Jack. I know, I know….it doesn’t make sense at this point of the game, but possibly Jack is somehow defying paradoxes or exists in an alternate reality and is visiting his own funeral. D&C indicated it was someone we had met before the freighter. Jack said he was neither friend or family to the person in the coffin. He declines the offer to have the casket opened. He touches the casket, appearing deeply saddened. He questions Kate about why she didn’t go to the funeral and she replies “Why would I go to the funeral?” in a disgusted/repulsed manner. If Jack and Kate had been married, and enough time had gone by in the flash forward to when the coffin scene occured, Aaron could be the teen aged son the deceased left behind (as per the newspaper clipping). I’m convinced that all of what we’re seeing is going to lead us back to season 1, episode 1 where Jack wakes up on the island, away from the group, in a similar manner in which Ben appeared in the middle of the desert wearing a parka…..if you watch the first minute or two of the S1/E1, there is even an expandable club looking thing (like the one Ben had in the desert) above Jack’s left shoulder. Anyhow, with lots of missing information to the timeline, just about anyone could be in that coffin.

    SO I am not sure if anyone has posted this….but I am watching the episode “Raised by another” right now. At the beginning Claire has a dream and goes in the woods and Locke is sitting there and his eyes are BLACK. Anyhow he tells her that “He was her responsiblity, and she gave him away. Now everyone has to pay the price.”

    Do you think even though that episode linked that dream to it…he could have been talking about what she was GOING to do? Could he have meant she gave him to Sawyer?

    Just a random thought since I am watching it right now.

    What?????
    No way that little faux Zodiac boat is going to ferry several people that far…
    I don’t know how long it would take but it would be WAY too long for that little motor without a lot of gas. I do know it would take forever even when the sea was somewhat calm. Filled with people that thing aint going much more than 10 miles an hour.
    And Sayid just took off again after dropping the first load. No gas, no hey Man…gimme a bottle of water, or get me some sunglasses cause the water is stinging my eyes.

    Just a thought. It seems that you are assuming Jack is upset over the dead person. Maybe his stress isn’t that he liked the person, but what the death of said person implicates. I think Jack is upset because he knows he needs to find the island and the dead person in the coffin verifies it.

    I’m trying to think that through and come up with No. Can’t be. The dead doctor (ship) was never in the same “time zone” together with the live doctor. Maybe they could have been, who knows, but it seems that “the island” wouldn’t let Jack commit suicide shortly AFTER the funeral event, so why would it be Jack dead in the coffin BEFORE that? I do like the idea of the coffin being up for grabs for anyone, but I don’t think it will be Jack. Or am I wrong in remembering the order of events?

    Let’s suppose it is some incredible, fuel-efficient motor from the future… Sayid doesn’t know that! He is a reasonable man, he would think, “Hey Desmond, see if you can find some more petrol before I head out again.”

    And also, in past episodes, wasn’t the freighter first 80 miles, and then 40 miles off the coast? At first I thought 90 was maybe an error, but they said 90 miles TWICE.

    This also hit me as I hit submit….Dan’s rocket and the dead doctor may explain how 90 miles isn’t really 90 miles. With time and space being all messed up, it may have only taken Sayid 5 minutes and 2 miles worth of gas….who knows?

    That’s fair, Hammer.

    But the difference between the gas/distance/motor issue and hair cuts, clean arm pits, and Hurley staying big, is that with the latter, you can find a way to justify it. Lots of passengers had nail scissors with them, they found a shipment of razors, DHARMA food drops, etc. (Though in fairness, even if he kept eating at his pre-island rate, all that exercise SHOULD have made Hurley a little more lean. Speaking from experience, here!)

    You are right in that it doesn’t REALLY make a difference to the overall mythology, or my enjoyment of the show. That doesn’t mean it won’t continue to bug me, though.

    Does anyone think that the island’s curing properties possibly brought Christian Shepherd back to life since he died off of the island? This would explain that Jack found no body in his father’s coffin when he discovered it in Season 1. Possibly the coffin Jack visits in the season 3 finale is his fathers.

    I do in a sense. But only because of the time overlap or whatever in the heck the mythology turns out to be. I don’t think he was brought back to life in the “time” that he died. Confusing? I’m troubled because of the psychic’s child that came back to life on the autopsy table. I don’t think it’s been confired yet whether it really happened or if the pyschic is a fraud.

    It is definitely plausible. I’ve said before I can’t quite get my head around the time shift/time travel thing. I am in no position to further, nor argue, your idea!

    I am hoping that when TPTB finally reveal how time issues work, it will be simple enough for the masses (meaning the “regular” fans who don’t spend time on blogs – and people like me who DO spend time on blogs, but get bewildered by the concept of time travel) to understand.

    At the time of Naomi’s arrival on the Island (Days 80-89) the ship was anchored approximately 80-90 nautical miles to the west. As of Day 94, it had closed in to about forty miles off the coast (twenty minutes of flying) When Daniel and Sayid were using the
    zodiac it was days 99 and 100. I believe the freighter is closing in on the island and the time gap.

    It is definitely plausible. I’ve said before I can’t quite get my head around the time shift/time travel thing. I am in no position to further, nor argue, your idea!

    I am hoping that when TPTB finally reveal how time issues work, it will be simple enough for the masses (meaning the “regular” fans who don’t spend time on blogs – and people like me who DO spend time on blogs, but get bewildered by the concept of time travel) to understand.

    : ) P

    As a pre-school teacher I firmly believe that most “abstract” theories can be reduced to a level that a young child can grasp, so I think that this will be an easy thing to do. The cool thing will be seeing exactly HOW they will be able to take technical detailed theories like vile vortices and wormholes which will have LOSTie bloggers exclaiming “Aha!” and deliver it to the “Dancing with the Stars” level while keeping everyone happy.

    Don’t you love how when you really get into a show you assume things about the show are real (i.e. characters, plot lines, etc.) and obsess over every little detail ;) It’s a TV SHOW!! Who cares about the details, just watch it and enjoy the story!!

    That’s a nice idea, but I think what DRIVES the true LOST fans *IS* the details. After all, we’ve had hundreds of posts about a newspaper clipping that was seen on screen for all of four seconds!

    Who cares about the details? I would say a large majority of the people who frequent this blog do! The “average” fan might not care about the details (the average fan wouldn’t have even noticed that the distance of the freighter from the shore has changed)!

    So, while you don’t have to participate in the discussion about Sayid, the “zodiac” and the distance he is traveling on fumes (just as I haven’t participated in the discussion about the newspaper clipping), please don’t deny those who DO want to discuss it, the opportunity to do so.

    I for one do not deny your gripe. But since you posted it, I felt comfortable saying that it doesn’t matter to me. BTW, JMO your are correct about details, but to me, only the ones that apply to the story are important. :)

    Having said that, if you didn’t bring it up, I wouldn’t have gotten to thinking about the explantion mention early about the time/space shifting….so thanks for griping.

    #################################
    At the time of Naomi’s arrival on the Island (Days 80-89) the ship was anchored approximately 80-90 nautical miles to the west. As of Day 94, it had closed in to about forty miles off the coast (twenty minutes of flying) When Daniel and Sayid were using the
    zodiac it was days 99 and 100. I believe the freighter is closing in on the island and the time gap.

    Two possible explanations – 90 miles is accurate OR 90 miles is an error.

    Error? The creators (canon) showed us 80 then 40 miles. Enhanced is done by a third party (non-canon) and NOT the creative staff at lost. So the 90 miles is what: a secret that the enhancers discovered or leaked to? or a TYPO?

    ??? Enhancer Doe, not a fan of the show, just a TV tech takes some hand-written notes to the Enhancer machine and enters what is written. Enhancer Smith comes along and moves the comments forward & aft as directed in other notes. What wasn’t noticed is that in some handwriting people’s ’9′s sometimes look like ’4′s, and vice versa. Typo error? or insider knowledge?
    (D&C&Team did not say 90 miles, someone else did)

    ******************************************

    i think everything on this show means something…and i think that the dream was a glimpse into things to come since at the time of the dream, she hadn’t actually given her baby to anyone…but it brings up all new questions…Claire is ‘supposed’ to raise Aaron, right? but then she leaves Aaron with Sawyer ‘because’ of CS, right? CS says he can speak for Jacob…so does that mean that CS (and therefore Jacob) can be considered to be “bad or evil” because now Aaron is not who he is supposed to be with…and Locke is in the dream warning her about this very thing and now he is taking direction from Jacob/CS? Claire…???

    and Claire really CREEPED me out the other night…CAN’T wait to see what happens with her from here on out…;)

    Locke’s eyes were black and evil at the time. He was playing cards or something.

    I always associated Jacob as being somewhat a leader of the “others” or the “hostiles.” Then the question is…why was Horace building a cabin for Jacob? Apparently Dharma knew who Jacob was as well. When Horace said Jacob’s name…it was like he was referring to someone he knew well.

    That threw me off about Jacob.

    As far as Claire, Oh gosh I don’t know what I was about to say. I am watching thru the whole first season this week and there is just so much relating to what is going on right now that I missed. Like Claire’s dream. She hadn’t given her baby away at the time, yet there is John telling her she did. That’s when she reached her hand in the crib and there was blood everywhere. The mobile was of airplanes like in the medical station but i was hoping I would see something relating to Jack and Kate.

    The only other comment I picked up was the psychic told Claire that ” They are no strangers.” The couple that was going to adopt the baby. So immediately I thought, they won’t be strangers later, but then he says that they are “eager to adopt.” That doesn’t fit.

    I think I may be looking too deep into all this. I just want answers!!! LOL

    i gotcha…answers would be nice…there is so much going on at the same time and so much to explain:

    -the story of the Dharma initiative and what exactly they were doing…
    -the story of the others/hostiles and what they are and where they came from…
    -the story of Aaron and who he is…
    -the story of Walt and who he is…
    -the story of Jack/Kate/Sawyer…
    -the story of Ben VS. Widmore (Alpert & Abaddon too)…
    -explainations for the Hurley-bird, black-smoke-monster and the four toed statue…

    Yeah, that’s an old theory that we’ve tossed around here before. IMO she is def. with Widmore’s group because I believe that he set up Des and therefore she did. Just waiting to find out who she really is.

    This will help refresh the old brainstem http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Libby/Theories

    My thinking is that Libby falls into that group of “recruiters” that we’ve been bantering about. Alpert, Abaddon, Nadia-perhaps, Charlie-perhaps, CS-perhaps. Some of the folks from Desmonds’ backstory.

    Looking at her off-island connections. Hurley. She may have been testing him when he was in the m-ward. Abaddon later tried to recruit him there. Nadia gave Charlie one of his greatest hits (fate). Libby gave Des a big-a$$ boat (fate). Michael murdered Libby, in death she helped influence him to (or not) blow-up the freighter. We know little about her life or her mission, or why she was in Australia, or on OA815 (someone knew she’d survive). She had a medical background, like so many players on the show. Nadia has a science background and mysterious connections. Abaddon was an orderly that appeared way over qualified, no backstory on him yet.

    If she is on Team Widmore, Linus or Paik… my guess is that Libby will appear again and be prominent in the last two seasons… maybe not key… but important enough that we will all go… wow – so that’t how she fits in. (Nadia too).

    Finishing that thought… the Island has recruiters too. They can recruit on or off island as well. It’s just that they are all dead. Charlie, CS, Libby, Horace, dare I say – Claire… and the Whispers? – nah, they are the team of judges watching the whole thing.

    I’d let Nikki & Shannon (pillow) fight over which one gets to recruit me. But then again, I don’t think the island allows you on to the ‘recruiting’ team unless you have redeemed yourself or have been absolved of the wrongs you have committed. That is why no Eko, Ana, Paolo, Boone, etc… We’d did see Yemi… the GOOD brother.

    … I would love for him [L.Reddick] to have more of a role in the show but unfortunately he is starring in JJ’s new TV show. So I don’t know how much that will limit his growth as a character on LOST.

    I agree. Probably not to worry though. ‘Fringe’ is a Fall Premiere and ‘LOST’ returns mid-winter. Do we know that he is a ‘star’ of the new show? Maybe he only has an initial stake in it and they turn the show over to different ‘regulars’. I can see them using him to promote ‘Fringe’, as he is well known to our little crowd here. Either way – there appears to be enough separation between premieres – Fringe is shooting now & LOST probably won’t return to production until SEP/OCT, at the earliest. My hope is that the Fringe creators have the savvy & desire to make that show as internet-friendly as they can… so LOSTies like us have a home to go to in June 2010.

    I am all about the telescoping (self-defense) baton that Ben used to do a “Nancy Kerrigan” on the two Tunisian horsemen AND I am really interested in the fact that they made a point of showing Ben with the beatdown stick in TNPLH pt.1…, but I am not completely convinced the waking Jack in season 1 is next to a collapsing baton. It may simply be one of those small, collapsible, travellers’ umbrellas that stow easily in luggage or a glove-box. You slip them into a tight nylon sleeve after they are dry, for storage.

    OK, I’m gonna complain big time here;
    Last night the in the repeated episode they said the Freighter was 90 miles from the island.
    What?????
    No way that little faux Zodiac boat is going to ferry several people that far…
    I don’t know how long it would take but it would be WAY too long for that little motor without a lot of gas. I do know it would take forever even when the sea was somewhat calm. Filled with people that thing aint going much more than 10 miles an hour.
    And Sayid just took off again after dropping the first load. No gas, no hey Man…gimme a bottle of water, or get me some sunglasses cause the water is stinging my eyes.
    It’s just absurd.

    I agree. I thought the same thing when I watched it.
    Let’s suppose it is some incredible, fuel-efficient motor from the future… Sayid doesn’t know that! He is a reasonable man, he would think, “Hey Desmond, see if you can find some more petrol before I head out again.”

    And also, in past episodes, wasn’t the freighter first 80 miles, and then 40 miles off the coast? At first I thought 90 was maybe an error, but they said 90 miles TWICE.

    It is one thing to “suspend reality” for a tv show, but it is entirely different to ask us to overlook obvious flaw in logic.

    Tanks PJ!
    Seems some folks got real upset that I even brought it up…seems a bit unkind of them.
    Having been on the Ocean more than most maybe I was feeling it!
    But even 40 miles would be absurd.
    I mean, sure we suspend reality but this just strikes me as absurd.
    Ok —Hurley stays fat; well, I bet the producers are BEGGING him to lose weight but he’s probably saying; fuck off, how ya gonna replace me…ha ha.
    But then I’ve been one of those all along who points out things that they should have at least given some thought to…and voila! Sometimes in the very next episode it’s addressed. So, I’m not that far off from a writer’s mindset. (sure, I know there’s no way they read my comment, rewrote and shot it in a week and got it on air; I’m not going to suspend THIS reality I’m in).

    I too agree that the chance that Jack is in the coffin is slim to none. I wasn’t following the reasoning as to why Kate would say with disdain, “why would I go to HIS funeral” or whatever she said.

    Th island wont let Jack kill himself according to D & C.

    I think folks who are hoping for a nice explanation of the time shift will be disappointed, as on several occassions the script has emphasized random effects, unstable or unpredictable results. I believe that part will remain in the island mythos.

    I think maybe our buddy Miles could be in the coffin. I think he’s up to something and will be important to what happens in the finale. He name starts with M and he was in an African-American neighborhood when we first met him. Maybe Miles was originally from New York.

    Wondering: Will possibly Penny or the island be “found” in the finale? Run, Penny, run!!!

    I still think the coffin is michael (kevin johnson) which is why no one was there! Although, even if his mom and walt knew his new name was Kevin…perhaps neither wanted to fly to LA, I mean after the crash and all. Jamiegirl said Michael cannot commit suicide, but I think he just couldn’t do it until the island “LET HIM”, because he had to help the island first.

    moving the island makes sense, because penny was trying to find it, it probably has moved in the past perhaps this is why they cannot get back to the island….it is missing

    awful lot of rabbit’s feet tonight!

    I think Mr. Eyeliner (love the name) sets up the whole O6 escaping island. I don’t think they will be taking Kate and Sayid as hostages, I think they want to help them off island.

    ——-

    My theory is that when they move the Island it changes the bearing required to reach the Island. We have seen if you go to the Island on the wrong bearing you either don’t reach the Island or show up at the wrong time. When Ben and the others took over the Island from the Darma they must have moved the Island to prevent anyone with Darma off the Island from finding it again. It must have taken Darma a while to figure out what happened as they kept making food drops on the old bearing. Since the food drops are on the wrong bearing they showed up years late.

    At some point yeah, but that is a self-fulfilling deduction. HE had been looking for HER for almost a decade, not the other way around. If he had gotten past the press conference and then back on his mission of finding her, THEN found her and married her = more believable. Her crashing his press party implies to me that someone is behind the link-up.

    DocH wrote:

    I agree, those are the numbers that add up for me, based on the public lies (press/trial) that were told.
    So the next lie has to be that the 3 that died, died HOW?. (Could be 2 if LOST make another blooper). The 3 (or 2) have to be names on the manifest of OA815, to be believable, but they need not be dead. They may drop Sawyer’s name, tho he lives = Money for Clementine. They may say Rose & Bernard. They may say Walt & Michael = money for mom (hence Walt) and help them in their false identities. Can’t be Jin. So many combos. There doesn’t even have to be proof of losing 3 to the ocean, just the word (conspiratorial lie) of the adult OA6.

    That makes sense…or at least that makes the most sense of any theory I’ve thought of or heard so far!! Guess that means Dan better hurry back in that little raft before his bearing becomes incorrect! Also explains why only a few of them could leave in the chopper…if they can’t find the island to get back to, how can they get more people off of it…but doesn’t really explain why some chose to stay unless they thought they would be leaving soon too when/if the chopper came back. The way Jack talks about Sawyer and how he “chose to stay/made his choice” it sounds like he knew he was staying on the island for good…?

They did show his lifeless body floating there and all of the air going out of his lungs just prior to that, so I am going with Charlie is dead.

    My whole problem with the communications room scene is that Charlie sealed the room with what appeared to be a water-tight door. If that room was tight, then the water would have rushed in and forced the air out of the porthole – UNTIL the water reached the top of the porthole. That would have left Charlie with a bubble of air at the top of the room at least a foot high. He could caught his breath for a minutes before going thru the porthole and swimming to the surface OR back into the moonpool area where Desmond was.

    The alternate here is that if the communication room was not water-tight, then the sea filled most of the rest of the Looking Glass Station, except for a few air pockets. Meaning – we may never return to the LG again in the story.

    (the LG looked like an expensive set to build… I thought for sure it would become key to at least a few more episodes.)

    I don’t understand why Charlie had to close the door and lock himself in. Why not just go out the door and close it from the other side. Even if he couldn’t seal it, who cares if the whole place floods. He had already shut down the equipment and they were getting ready to leave.

    My whole problem with the communications room scene is that Charlie sealed the room with what appeared to be a water-tight door. If that room was tight, then the water would have rushed in and forced the air out of the porthole – UNTIL the water reached the top of the porthole. That would have left Charlie with a bubble of air at the top of the room at least a foot high. He could caught his breath for a minutes before going thru the porthole and swimming to the surface OR back into the moonpool area where Desmond was.

    Even if the porthole was not big enough for Charlie to get through, Desmond could have swam outside and passed him an airtank through it. They had lots of scuba gear in the closet.

    PJ, Charlie is dead, but he’s “…also here.” to quote Charlie himself. I think the cool part is that you are right and wrong. Charlie is dead in the current time line, but alive in whatever time line the mythology is…along with the whisperers. JMO.

    For sure MissKim. The story will be how some or all of the O6, maybe Widmore, maybe Ben find where Locke moved island. Then what happens when they get back and I envision one of if not THE last scene….who Adam and Eve are.

    Will the two hour finale end with the O6 getting off the Island?

    It may very well have been.

    I would say I agree on this point, he COULD have. After having watched the scene again though, he is clearly content with the decision he has made. The sign-of-the-cross (with his left hand?) is the indication and then not moving his arms or kicking his legs is another HINT that he did not try to escape.

    The alternate here is that if the communication room was not water-tight, then the sea filled most of the rest of the Looking Glass Station, except for a few air pockets. Meaning – we may never return to the LG again in the story.

    (the LG looked like an expensive set to build… I thought for sure it would become key to at least a few more episodes.)

    ^^^^^^^^
    So then for me, as far as I’m concerned because we saw Charlie’s lifeless body floating around the water filled room, those believing Chuck to be dead would have to assume that the communications room was not quite air tight.

    As far as Charlie being able to get through the porthole, for you physics folks, would the pressure of the water rushing in make it too difficult for Chuck to climb out?

    If the radio room was air/water-tight, then my opinion would be that he could swim out only AFTER the room had filled with water…definitely not before…and if the radio room was not air/water-tight, then probably not at all…just my opinion tho, no experience or schooling involved…;)

    this is assuming that he could get through the porthole, which was fairly small so he’d probably have to struggle with it a little bit, after waiting for the room to fill up completely and then swim all the way back to the surface…holding his breath the whole time…and let’s not forget that he was a junkie and probably not in the best physical shape, lung-wise and stamina-wise…so i think the whole thing is a loooonnnnngggg shot at best…again, just an opinion…;)

    Water-tight room? = no, not too difficult to climb out. Charlie could have waited just the very few seconds it would have taken to fill the room, grabbed a lung-full, then have done SOMETHING to save his own life.

    Water-tight room? = yes, too difficult to climb out. It would be like dropping Eloise’s cage in a swimming pool. No way out and no air pockets. The thing about filling the Looking Glass up with water, is that Desmond would have had to make a fairly rapid evacuation. Did we ever see him make his way out? (Scuba or lungs?) I think we only saw him once he hit the surface, eventually making it back to beach camp, in the outrigger. I fully expected Mikhail to start plinking shots at Des from shore (again).

    haha, i gotcha…i wasn’t the biggest fan of his character but it was sad when he died…and i agree that his death seems a tad pointless at this point…but you gotta have a little faith that the writers know what they are doing and when it’s all said and done it will make sense…just because a character is not one of the O6, does not, in my opinion, mean that they don’t get off the island (i.e. Ben)…we just don’t know how yet…;)

    I am guessing that in the second circumstance, you meant “NOT” water-tight.

    Even if it wasn’t water-tight, the room wouldn’t have COMPLETELY filled with water instantaneously, there would have been a pocket of air as the water trickled out through the door.

    Here’s what I envision: Charlie, believing he’s done for, lets the air out of his lungs and floats up (which is what we see). What we DIDN’T see, was him rising to the top to discover the foot of air above the surface. We already know (despite the fact that “he was a junkie and probably not in the best physical shape, lung-wise and stamina-wise”) he had the strength and lung capacity to swim DOWN to the hatch. The swim UP from the hatch would be considerably easier and much faster. So he thinks that maybe Desmond’s vision doesn’t HAVE to come true and swims out the hatch to the surface.

    What happens to him after that? I don’t know. Maybe someone from the freighter has him tied up somewhere.

    Cut to Santa Rosa. He tells Hurley, “I am dead, but I am also here,” because he knows that the world at large (including, perhaps the O6) thinks him dead. Maybe THAT is why Hurley is having SUCH a hard time distinguishing dreams from reality (the doctor at Santa Rosa said that therapy wasn’t working because Hugo didn’t believe the doctor existed). Maybe he is physically seeing, talking to, and touching Charlie for REAL, but since he KNOWS Charlie is dead, he can’t believe anything his brain is telling him.

    Lol, PJ in all of your discussion on this, I have forgotten what you think the purpose of Charlie being alive is? By the same token since you are so determined, in my mind, for my PJSanders version of Lost, Charlie is alive and kicking, probably making a real album to make money after his “death” like Tupac Shakur.

    So I’m sure you’ve already come to this conclusion, but you don’t need us to validate that Charlie is alive, you may even have been seeing him in every episode seemingly playing the role of a red shirt waiting for a way off the isle.

    (If your secret mission in reviving the Charlie is alive talk was to get Lins or someone to admit crying over his death…brilliant!)

    I actually don’t think there IS a “purpose” to Charlie still being alive – except perhaps to haunt poor Hurley. Who knows… maybe he was rescued off island by Widmore in a luxury yacht and is now his puppet for whatever purpose it suits him.

    I like the idea of his recording a “posthumous” album. I bet Driveshaft hit another big time when news of Charlie’s death hit the airwaves! LOL

    PJSander….since you were our fearless leader during a time of unrest and safely moved the island for us…..and since you appear to really want Charlie to be “un-dead”…..I offer this theory. (Of course, like many of my theories it may be way “out of the box”, but hey!! It’s a theory…it’s supposed to make us think.) It appears that Charlie was supposed to die at a certain time. Though many near-death events occured, his death was always prevented. (Hung by Ethan, lightening, drowning, arrows in the neck,whatever else….) When he did appear to perish in the Looking Glass, he seemed completely at peace with what was occuring. Perhaps “course correction” could be an explanation of what was occuring. Maybe we have seen Charlie’s life intersect with so many other people’s lives because eveything that we have seen him do is not the first time some events have occured. If the possibility of time travel is on the table, then so is the possibility that Charlie (and others) are flitting back and forth in time and space trying to “make things right”. I mentioned in the “Whisperers Theory” comments (during the Memorial Day Hiatus)that The Island, with its special properties, could be an attempt to modify the Valenzetti Equation. If the island can keep a constant time loop, yet allow some of its inhabitants to move freely through time, the possibility exists that somehow paradoxes can be avoided and destiny can be altered. Faith vs. Science. This way, Charlie could really be alive, yet also be dead. It also means that in a different, still-to-be-seen-timeline, Claire and Aaron really do get off the island in a helicopter, just as Desmond predicted…..just a thought.

    PJ, I think I may have used this one on you in the past. The one thing you are omitting that makes me think Charlie has become a Whisperer is the WHOLE conversation between Charlie and Hugo:

    CHARLIE: Hey man. Don’t run. Hurley. Just, just, sit down. I wanna talk to you. Come on. Don’t do what you did in the store. Ok? There’s no need to freak out.

    HURLEY: No need to freak out? I’m trying to buy some jerky and a slushy, and suddenly you’re standing over there by the Ho Hos. You’re dead, what do you expect me to do?

    CHARLIE: Can we just sit down?

    HURLEY: I may be in a mental hospital, but I know you’re dead and I’m not having an imaginary conversation with you.

    [Charlie takes off his sunglasses and stares Hugo in the eyes]

    CHARLIE: I am dead. But I’m also here.

    HURLEY: Ok, prove it.

    [Charlie slaps Hurley]

    HURLEY: All right, ok.

    [They sit down together]

    HURLEY: Did you know you were going to die when you swam out there?

    [Charlie nods]

    HURLEY: Then why didn’t you tell me?

    CHARLIE: Because you would have tried to stop me. And since I was gonna do it anyway I thought I would spare you all the drama. And now you have to do something. But you’re hiding from it. That’s the real reason you ran when you saw me in the store. You knew I was here to tell you.

    HURLEY: I’m not listening to this. No cause you’re not here.

    [Hurley covers his ears and squints his face]

    CHARLIE: I am here, you’re being a baby.

    HURLEY: I’m gonna close my eyes and count to five, and when I open them you’ll be gone.

    CHARLIE: I am here.

    HURLEY: One!

    Thanks for the recap on Charlie Hammer…but remind me again how that makes him a whisperer? We haven’t actually seen any of the other whisperers make direct contact like that, have we?

    I don’t know about “you all everybody”, but i’m getting excited for these last two parts of Season 4. I just want to make two quick comments, one of which i know has been talked about previously a bit.

    Why did Charlie dream that Claire would get off the island with Aaron, could that be a vision into the distant future?

    Also, back in Season 2, there was an episode where rations dropped from the sky by the Dharma Initiative. If the island has moved, or can move…where is this coming from?

    As for coffin predictions, i’m going to say that Michael Emerson is a terrific actor, perhaps the best on the show. I think his career could take off here soon, so it might be time to say goodbye to him on this show…so i’m going with Ben. Second guess, Locke.

    Enjoy everyone!

    Here is some background on the PRD.

    http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Supply_drop

    The rations can be called in by entering a code (24) on the computer. I assume any PC in the intranet but the showed it at Mikhails station. The blast door map suggests that the PRD is at 6-8 months intervals. There is a ‘protocol’ of sorts for calling in the PRD. The one PRD we saw was marked Dharma AND Swan. That doesn’t mean the Dharma Initiative dropped the rations… just that the rations had Dharma logos (Swan) on it.

    If the island physically moves (or not)? If the island hides (or not)? If the island moves in time (or not)?… since there is connectivity with the outside world to call in resupply… it seems likely that they could drop rations, if they get there quickly enough, before anymore moving goes on (time-wise, location-wise).

    I consider it a 3 hour-finale and it began with the O6 getting off the island.

    When they got off the island in the first hour, that was a flash-forward. in “real time”, they are still on the island or freighter.

    Well, IMO as stated in my theory, Charlie is a whisperer because he died on the island (sort of).

    No we can’t confirm other whisperers have shown themselves. It’s just my theory that they are beginning to show themselves. I also suggest that Horace showed himself to Locke although in a dream, Ben knew what he was dreaming about. I also feel that if Claire is in fact dead, she showed herself to Locke. The previous mention by the whisperers that they wanted to show themselves but thought it would ruin things make me think that Charlie is doing it because “they need” him.

    What happens to Claire? Why is she dead all of a sudden? Why didn’t Charlie’s vision come true?

    It was Desmond’s vision, NOT Charlie’s, that Claire and Aaron boarded a helicopter. We don’t know yet whether that happens — Although, I would predict it will happen as all of Desmond’s visions have come true as far as we’ve been shown. I can’t wait to find out how these loose ends are tied up!

    I have to disagree with the “all of Desmond’s visions have come true as far as we’ve been shown” statement. Desmond had a number of visions about Charlie (which the viewers were shown) which did NOT come true.

    Maybe the chopper takes off…gets shot at as it lifts off…Claire’s dead and they have to dump her as they as losing fuel from another bullet hole…

    So; Claire gets on but….gets bumped on her flight. No voucher given. Sorry Charlie Tuna. (never liked her either)

    Next to go soon (I hope); The Doc…and many of my friends agree!
    Rather see more of Rose or Bernhard….or even the Polar Bear.
    Polar Bear swims out to the Zodiac and slices it open spilling Losties and then a shark shows up and fights with the Bear over the meal in the water…and then Smokey piles it on… (kidding…I’m going nuts here waiting for da finale).

    PJ, I think I may have used this one on you in the past. The one thing you are omitting that makes me think Charlie has become a Whisperer is the WHOLE conversation between Charlie and Hugo:

    *snip*

    CHARLIE: I am dead. But I’m also here.

    HURLEY: Ok, prove it.

    [Charlie slaps Hurley]

    HURLEY: All right, ok.

    [They sit down together]

    HURLEY: Did you know you were going to die when you swam out there?

    [Charlie nods]

    HURLEY: Then why didn’t you tell me?

    CHARLIE: Because you would have tried to stop me. And since I was gonna do it anyway I thought I would spare you all the drama. And now you have to do something. But you’re hiding from it. That’s the real reason you ran when you saw me in the store. You knew I was here to tell you.

    HURLEY: I’m not listening to this. No cause you’re not here.

    [Hurley covers his ears and squints his face]

    CHARLIE: I am here, you’re being a baby.

    HURLEY: I’m gonna close my eyes and count to five, and when I open them you’ll be gone.

    CHARLIE: I am here.

    HURLEY: One!

    CHARLIE: Don’t do this.

    HURLEY: Two!

    CHARLIE: They need you.

    HURLEY: Three!

    CHARLIE: They need you, Hugo.

    HURLEY: Four!

    CHARLIE: You know they need you.

    HURLEY: Five!

    [Hurley opens his eyes, and Charlie is gone]

    Yeah, I think you did, Hammer. But for the benefit of the bloggers that are newly interested in the Charlie theories, I will reply again. *BG*

    Charlie could well have seen that Hurley was genuinely freaked out by seeing him and decided to “disappear” behind this big ole tree:

    http://gallery.lost-media.com/displayimage-1364-624.html

    You may well be right that Charlie is a whisper. I can’t prove a thing and we’ll all figure it out SOME TIME in the next two years! LOL

    Thanks for the debate!

    The person in the coffin might be “dead” sometime in 2007, but on this show, it doesn’t mean they won’t act in every episode between now and the finale! Between flashbacks and “present time” episodes, whispers, ghosts, dreams and apparitions, being killed on LOST doesn’t mean you don’t work as an actor!

    One easy example, Christian Shephard has always been “dead” and has appeared in a dozen episodes.

    That is a good point PJ, and i’m not saying he would be gone forever, but look at Dominic (Charlie). He didn’t sign the contract for the 4th season, and yeah…he was in the first episode with Hurley, but we haven’t seen him since. I hope everyone stays until the end.

    Thank you Doc for rations drop info! Also, thanks for correcting me Kate on vision being Desmonds, NOT Charlie’s. I never fail to find what i need to hear on this blog :).

    I have to disagree at least in the LOST storytelling sense. Last episode had the “whoosh” sounds for scenes on the island and freighter implying that was the FB.

    Desmond did it… in the Orchid… with the baton.

    Seriously, he pushed the button so late that it caused the plane to crash. He could’ve cared less that the computer was busted. He pushed the switch that blew up the hatch. He led (ie influenced) Charlie to go to the station and cancel the interference, allowing Jack to use the phone and contact the freighter. Everything significant that Des has done has been for the benefit of Widmore finding the island. IMO, sure he loves and misses Penny and if he impresses her father by helping him find the missing island… I’m not saying Widmore is pulling his strings. I’m thinking it is a plan entirely hatched by Des to win over Widmore and get his approval.

    Other thoughts: Has Ben been able to leave since the sub was destroyed? I think Ben got off the island with the O6 (and possible some others) and is as unable to get back as any of them. Ben is in the coffin.

    Notice how upset Jack is when Sawyer tells him that Hurley is with Locke and Ben. He feels compelled to go find Hurley now. Jack would only leave the island under 2 circumstances: 1. he was forced or 2. pure circumstance. It is inconsistent with his character to leave any one unwillingly behind. (this was touched on by Cindy in post 420)

    I agree. I think that is why Jack got appendicitis. D&C had to give him a reason to be one of the first off the island because it is not in his character to get off before everyone else was safe.

    I’m not so sure that the appendicitis/appendectomy is what got Jack off the island and not someone else. It must be meaningful in some way of course…..It may have signified the Island’s unhappiness w/ Jack. Possibly it was developed as part of the story line to show us the Juliet/Jack/Bernard/Kate surgery interaction. I think that it was simply the circumstances that led to his being with the others (O6) that got off the island. Perhaps they were all on the chopper or on that Zodiac boat when/if the freighter explodes and the island gets moved. However, Jack’s comment that “Sawyer chose to stay” indicates that possibly Jack could have made the same choice. Jack, Kate, Hurley, Sun, Sayid, Aaron, and Sawyer all end up in the same vicinity as eachother and the chopper or Zodiac. (It’s feasible. Kate and Sayid were together when Richard and the Others forced them to surrender, Jack and Sawyer were looking for Hurley, and Sun and Aaron were told by Jin to get off the freighter.) They all somehow end up together and make an attempt to leave the Island, maybe even with plans to help the people on the freighter. Sawyer chose to stay at the last minute for whatever reason. Depending on the reason, Jack wouldn’t stay just because Sawyer did….especially if the only people they’d be “leaving behind”, at least at the moment, would be the likes of Locke, Ben, Alpert, and the Others. Everybody else was down at the beach waiting to be shuttled to the freighter or already on the freighter. I wonder when Kate promised Sawyer she’d do a favor for him. I think it something they talked about a long time ago. There may even be a FB or something which reveals it. I have a feeling that FB’s from present day time back to what happened on the Island may have to be used to tie up some loose ends next season.

    TOP TEN REASONS Jack HAD to go back because;

    1. He wrote some Prescriptions that were illegible and needed to clarify them to suffering patients.
    2. He needed more ugly tattoos.
    3. Had to get his billing up to date for the Office.
    4. Needed more lessons in being an arrogant hero.
    5. Two words: Free Drugs!
    6. Needed more acting classes—the toothy grin and Angry Man look was where he left off.
    7. Kissed most of the chicks on the island and was moving on.
    8. Went back to get his Yacht.
    9. Was missing the mini bar in his Hotel.
    10. Had to find a movie deal to make up for that horrible; Vantage Point.
