Lost!

[Ghoulish Delight]

But here's what's really gonna cook your noodle...

[Cadaverous Pallor]

*Will Sawyer lose his shirt for more episodes?

He better.

*How come the water is so damn blue and there is little seaweed?

I've been to places like that. The question should be, why do SoCal beaches suck so bad.

*Are they still eating Dharma food?

Is who eating it when and where?

*How come the food drops stopped (though they may have answered that earlier in the series and I forgot)?

That's a whole other story about the people who are dropping food and the problems they face blah blah blah

*How did the polar bear skeleton get to Tunsia?

Oh yeah, Tunisia. Um. I keep thinking of Poltergeist where they go into the closet but come out of the ceiling downstairs.

Greg: Tunisia is the Island's antipode. He is right.

*Why does the mover of the island go to Tunsia when the island is moved (and why didn't Locke end up there)?

Locke does end up there. See above.

*Where are the kids and the kidnapped Losties?

Long dead or brainwashed.

*What happened to the Othersville that they showed the kids and kidnapped Losties at?

It was only a front, but it was on the far side of the island and I don't think they've been near there since. I'm probably wrong.

They're probably at the temple. When Dead Lock asked if this was everybody (referring to the group he rejoined after bringing the boar back for dinner) Richard said some were at the temple.

BTW, I just watched last week's CSI episode. Libby and Jacob are in it.

It's really bizarre to see Locke as a General on the West Wing. I remember it tripped me out when LOST! first started and it's doing it again. Such different characters.

Maybe Jacob does not want Jack, Kate, Sawyer, Sun and Jin to get on flight 815 and the flashbacks we are seeing are not him nudging them towards taking the flight but actually just the opposite; perhaps he went back in time(again?) and changed things so that this time they won't be on the plane if and when it does crash:

Kate: Jacob told her to "be good". Now we know that pre-815 Kate wasn't all that good so if Jacob was really there it doesn't compute...yeah, I know, he paid for the stolen item and got her off the hook and yeah, that could have led to her life of crime......but what if it is more straightforward than that, what if after Jacob touching her and telling her to be good she actually does go on to be good???

Jin and Sun: Same as with Kate, he told them one thing but we know that they end up doing quite the opposite.....perhaps this too is a "new" visit by Jacob and they do go on to guard their marriage better. If they did would they have ended up on that plane???

Sawyer: Perhaps Jacobs pen, in some way, softens the tone of Sawyers letter to Cooper....disapearing ink maybe???

Jack: Without that candy bar Jack may have given in to a burning hatred for his father at that moment in time....the candy bar Jacob gave him may have distracted him, just enough(a little push) to take Jack away from a bad path.

Then there's the two post crash visits:

Hurley: Notice what Jacob offered Hurley....a choice.....to get on the plane or not leaving the decision entirely up to the Hurley alone. This was really cool because up until this point Hurley has been told he has to go(Ben, Locke, Jack) or has to stay(Sayid, Jack) but here Jacob was telling him to choose.

btw: Jacob offered someone else a choice in this episode...Ben...which leads me to believe that Hurley, not Frank is the "candidate" for new Island leader...

Sayid: In order for the bomb to function Jacob needed Sayid on the Island...so he saved his life. Why he didn't save Nadia too? Maybe she was destined to die no matter what(I know, that's weak, but I got nothing else)

Now there was one other person who had a flashback during the season finale.....Juliet. This was pre-crash like many of the 815'ers but there was no Jacob.

No Jacob and yet she is key to making the bomb go off....what does this mean???


And of course............LOCKE: We see Locke fall from the window and laying there on the ground un-conscious, Jacob touches him and Locke awakens. We assume that what happened here is that Locke's life was saved here by Jacob and then Locke goes on to be crippled, meets Abbadon and goes to Australia for the walkabout.....leading to 815.

But what if this too was a new visit by a time traveling Jacob and after receiving the healing touch Lockes visit to the hospital was just for bumps and bruises and a mild concussion????

Have to say, intriguing stuff. You hurts my brain meats.

Sleepyjeff: are you a staff writer for Lost, by any chance?

GREAT post.

GREAT post.

Thanks but all I am doing is trying to sort this whole thing out.....easier when I type it rather than chase thoughts. Basically I was trying to figure out how all of these things Jacob did led to our Losties coming to the Island but some things just didn't jive so I thought I'd see if things would jive better if he was doing just the opposite...I think they just may

ABC has confirmed who the statue is:

We finally caught up with Lost over the weekend. I like it. Very pleased with where the story has gone so far... but still have the same trepidation that I did way back in Season 2... I wish I had faith that the writers won't fumble this...
