Oh wow that makes complete sense, kind of makes me question my intelligence regarding the complexity of Lost. I was wondering why they were on the plane half the time landing safely at LAX (with a dream and my cardigan.) silly Miley Cyrus. I checked out this website which had a few reasonable theories concerning the show: DarkUFO - LOST Homepage Lostpedia - The Lost Encyclopedia Ehh why not post this...
So last week I watched Lost for the first time and watched the recap of everything that's ever happened and I'm quite intrigued to watch it again tonight even though, I'm still totally cluster ****ed on the story and plot and everything, even though I can under stand the basis of the show, yet there's just so much going on.....lol
the recap didnt even come close to showing everything, believe me. it gave a tiny insight to maybe... half. It showed nothing of Michael or Walt (too huge characters in the overall story), showed nothing of Shannon, Ana Lucia, Libby, Mr. Eko, Danielle, Alex, etc. The only gave you what you needed, i suppose, for the S6 premiere. But there's a ton more, believe me. In any case, Im excited to watch Ep2 tonight. They are replaying part 2 of the premiere, then showing ep2 right after. Ill likely watch both (even though I watched the premiere close to 3 times already). Supposedly Richard is going to be a huge part of the story now, and a major every episode character, according to some sources. Im super interested to see if he actually was on Black Rock, like I speculate he was. Perhaps even as a prisoner/slave on it.
Quick question: Did the time travel thing allow some characters to be in earlier years while some to be in present time, and for some to be in both?
For a while, they were split. Some in the 70s, some in the present (2007). Some people were in both, such at Richard Alpert, who doesn't age, and who has been on the Island for a loooong time. And you see a very young Ben Linus (like 14 yr old kid) in the 70s, while he is his normal self in the present timeline. None of the plane crash survivors spanned both timelines.
Well sometimes it seems like I'm watching flashbacks, like this girl Kate would be in the temple and then escaping from the guy that's trying to capture her at the airport, it's quite confusing, and it's like that for a couple characters.
They arent flashbacks anymore. We're seeing two different timelines existing at once. One is in 2004, in which they are on the plane again (the same plane that crashed on the island), only they didn't crash.. what they did with the nuke at the swan station worked. The other timeline, on the island is in 2007, where the bomb didnt work and they are still stuck on the island.
there was something that has been bugging me for a while, in the plane-timeline, Jack saves Charlie from choking on his heroin, and charlie says "this wasn't supposed to happen, im supposed to be dead" do you think charlie knows what happened on the island because he died there? it seems like he belongs in the group of characters that have mystical powers due to the island, like clair or Jack's dad.
No, I dont think any of them know. My theory, course correction, as Daniel Faraday spoke about on the Island. You can't change the future, anything you do will eventually work its way back to the same ending. So, Im sure we'll see Charlie die eventually, again. And Im sure we'll even see them make their ways back to the Island slowly... because, ya know.. course correction.
This episode really Claire-ified a few things didn't it! So: Spoiler Claire is Jack's sister (well they have the same father) and apparently the ultimate asian guy, Tared or something? said she got "infected" with the darkness as well as Sayid. Kate's connection with Claire is evidently larger than I anticipated. And may I say Claire looked fabulous at the end of the episode.
Totally agreed. And damn, I hate how every single episode leaves you questioning the whole thing... I have quite a few theories about Sayeed and such, but I wanna know what's going to happen with Claire now.
The only thing that bothers me is the second others not wanting to give the survivors any information. It seems like it wouldn't matter, and only make their lives easier, yet they try to avoid it at all costs.
We've known Jack and Claire were brother/sister for a long time. Jack didn't know until now, and in fact, he still doesn't know who they are referring to. So I don't think either of them, Jack or Claire, really know yet. Unless the MIB/Smokey told Claire when he took the form of her father that Jack was her brother, which is possible. Its interesting to see the similarities in the original plane crash timeline and the present LA timeline. Like Jack searching for a pen to save someone's life last week (also happened in the very first episode), Claire and Kate being together when her baby is coming (or almost did), Ethan sticking needles in Claire, etc. What Im interested in seeing is if Danielle was actually telling the truth about the rest of her research team getting infected, which prompted her to kill them all. They referenced Danielle in the show, so I think we'll learn more about it soon. Oh, and the main Other leader was named Dogen, not Tared. The baseball he had kinda threw me off. These writers producers don't do a single thing randomly on this show, so itll be interesting to see maybe some of his backstory at some point or something like that. Maybe he was a professional player in Japan.. who knows. He is built like Ichiro, and Im pretty sure he's speaking Japanese.
Are you sure Jack doesn't know claire is his sister? At his fathers funeral, he sees Mrs Littleton, who tells him his father had a daughter in Australia. Later on in season five, he knows her as Claire's mother when they think she is trying to take Aaron.
-When Kate yells to the doctors, "What's wrong with my Aaron!" something triggers in Kate, like a vague recollection of events that happened on the island. We saw this similar moment when Kate saw Jack at the airport, and when Jack saw Desmond on the plane. It's almost like they will come to realize their lives on the island in the "alternate dimension." -This one is sort of a stretch but do we really know that the MIB is evil? When he took the body of Locke in the first episode he said to the islanders he was with (Richard's crew), "I'm very disappointed in all of you." Could he just be "scaring" or just pushing people away from the island away from Jacob tyranny? I don't know, I'm just looking for some knew things to discuss.
It seems like Charlie's death scenarios always involve asphyxiation. Ethan hangs him from a tree, we see him shot in the throat with an arrow, He drowns in the Looking Glass station, and most recently he chokes on a bag of heroin. The universe doesn't want Charlie breathing. The only one that does not really fit the pattern is the lighting strike. I don't really know much about lighting strikes though. Maybe a minor jolt(one that doesn't kill you instantly) can cause you to stop breathing . Jack definitely knows that Claire is his sister and that Aaron is his nephew. That was revealed to him by Claire's mom(Jack's fathers mistress) at the wake for his father. Claire's mom didn't realize at the time that Jack knew Claire so well, because the oceanic Six claimed that everyone else had died either during impact or immediately following the crash. Jack also purposefully hurts Kate in another episode by pointing out that she's not even related to Aaron, knowing that he himself is.
Lightning strikes don't always kill, I don't believe.. Yeah, I've also noticed this. Maybe we'll see some connection with the alternate dimension, like them remembering something. I also agree with LIGHTSOUT, in saying about the course correction...Maybe once people start dying in the alternate universe where they survive the plane crash we can see if the timelines match up, if you know what I mean.
