There’s No Place Like Home, Part 1
1 year, 10 months ago by WillRead more: Lost Episodes, 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.

Oh how I wish we could have the whole 3 hours tonight, and that it would really be THREE COMMERCIAL FREE HOURS.

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.

OK, here’s mine:

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’.

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?

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 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.
Comment 30, posted 1 year, 10 months ago - Quote and reply
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)…
Comment 31, posted 1 year, 10 months ago - Quote and reply
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).
Comment 32, posted 1 year, 10 months ago - Quote and reply
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).
Comment 35, posted 1 year, 10 months ago - Quote and reply
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!

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.

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…….

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.

If Jin dies it would seem that Des dies too!! I hope that doesn’t happen without a Des/Penny reunion. I am trying to figure out how Sun is gonna get off that boat as well. Maybe she decides to use a tube or something and the helicopter flies over and sees her. Still I don’t think it’s actually gonna blow cause like I said….what happens to Desmond?

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.
Comment 84, posted 1 year, 10 months ago - Quote and reply
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!

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.

In the press conference, they blew off the question about what did they eat for four months. I agree, Hurley did not lose any weight!
Also, Sun said her husband died before getting to the island. That might actually be true if the freighter blows up.

Geez, they got everyone spread out again all over and off the damn island. This is definitely going to leave to many unanswered questions for next season and beyond…
What I want to find out in the finale….
1. What happens to Locke, Sawyer and Jin.
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!

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.

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!

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?

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.
Comment 153, posted 1 year, 9 months ago - Quote and reply
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?

Comment 158, posted 1 year, 9 months ago - Quote and reply
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.

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…

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?

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?

Clearly, part of the point of the lie is to keep anyone from even looking for other survivors. Sayid answered so emphatically “absolutely not”, when asked if it were possible that others also survived. Everyone seemed so uncomfortable with the lie, except for Jack. Did HE come up with it?

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 1 year, 9 months ago - Quote and reply
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?

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 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

Here’s a thought about the secondary protocol.
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…

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).

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

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.

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!

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.

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!

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….

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 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?

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

=========================================
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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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?
Comment 340, posted 1 year, 9 months ago - Quote and reply
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!

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.

i just watched the episode again. 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.

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.

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.

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’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?

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.
———————————————–
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…

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.

Why was Nadia waiting outside with a police car?
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?

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.
(“Oh, you DO speak English.”)
I want more Charlotte…what a babe, but maybe an evil babe.
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.

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.?????

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.

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! :)

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…

Okay, let’s all go out on a limb…we are supposed to find out who’s in the coffin next week. Let’s go with nly one solid guess and one alternate….
I got Ben since we know he’s off the island and just to stay away from the obvious (Michael), and I’ll go with Locke as an alternate.

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.

Who knows though, they could show Keamy in the coffin and I don’t think I’d be totally shocked…
( really don’t think it’s him, I’m just saying….)

Although part of me thinks it’s still too obvious, I’m going to go with Michael as my pick with Ben as a back up. Although I just don’t think Ben dies…my other choice might be Desmond. I just don’t think that we will feel a sense of relief once we know who is in the coffin, like…whew, that mystery is solved now…I still think it will be a surprise that will lead us to ask…how on earth did he/she end up dead in NY and why does no one else care and why does it affect Jack so much? At least I hope that’s what happens, much more interesting and just think of the debates we can have for the next 7 months :(

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.

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.

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?)
