Lost!

[sleepyjeff]

Another theory(not mine, I read it on another board) I like is based on the orchid orientation video with the rabbits: In that video Dr Candle/Chang/Hallowax freaked out when a second rabbit, identical to the one he was holding, appeared. It was more than just a "oh no, now my video is ruined" type freak out.....more like a "oh no, the world will end if they touch each other" kind of fit.

So, we know that Ben is already at Dharmaville circa 1977.........could Sun be there? We know that Widmore(an other/hostile) did have business dealings with Sun's father(could he also be an other/hostile?)

If Christian takes them to some lever and says "push this to travel back in time and save your friends" I'll be very annoyed. But...how do you travel back in time on purpose?

That poor kid who plays young Ben. Yeech. Enough with the lipstick.

It's occured to me that Sun gave her baby up to go find Jin, knowing full well she'd probably never be back. That's f'd up. Am I forgetting something there?

That scene has been bugging me a little;

1)Why would there be a torn and ragged Dharma sign hanging around in 2007? Ben and the others surely would have took it down back when they killed off Dharma......to me this suggests that something changed in the time line and the others never took over Dharmaville. Although, clearly, Dharma wasn't there so something still happened...I am stumped

2) How did Christian show Sun the picture from 1977?


He used a flashlight........

Don't know if they're in the past or the future, but I'm certain the plane and those who remained on it did travel in time, just not to 1977. Perhaps they are in a period between the purge and when the Others claimed the barracks as their own.

Or perhaps it was just a sloppy creative decision made in case it wasn't obvious where they were.

Did anyone else notice the black smoke coming in the building when Sun was talking to Christian?

Also, It would appear that Ben has always known who (at least some of) the Losties are.



Nice catch sj, so I guess we know Christian isn't Jacob. I'm still sticking with the Jack is Jacob theory.*









*Subject to change with plot twists or per my whim.

After reading E! online, who the fvck is the person behind and just to the right of Sun (right after the smoke enters) in the room where she's talking to Christian?

If they did(and I guess they must have at least a little since night did turn into day right before the crash) it couldn't be by more than a year*.....so my question as to why that Dharma stuff is still hanging around remains a valid one.



*1977 plus 30 years equals 2007....Unless we can't even trust the on screen narration

Good point. So:

1) alternate reality caused by time travel
2) for some reason there are Dharma sign still around, even though it had been Others' land for so long
3) wrong/misleading info when we're told it was 30 years ago
4) stupid production decision because they wanted to be sure it was obvious where they were.

My guess is option 4.

In that same scene there is speculation that there is a woman in the background, behind Sun.


I really want to know about the Others. Why are they considered hostile? Where did they come from? Why did Richard want them killed?

What is Smoky guarding? Where was it kept when Ben let it loose last season? Where did it come from?

Probably Claire, as she was with spectre Christian before (see above).

Richard IS an other, he doesn't want them killed. They're considered hostile because they want to kill the people in Dharma because they feel it's "their" island.
