The LOST Thread

[Ash]

I was bored so I went over this past weeks episode and last seasons finale and I found out two more pieces of info.

1.  The Stephen King book the Book club was reading was "Carrie"
2.  Juliette (the blonde who questions Jack in this past episode) is actually Penny, Desmonds wife (or fiance).  Remember her father paid Desmond to leave her alone (for whatever reason).  Penny is also the women seen at the finale to season 2 when those Russians in Antarctica call to report the magnetic activity.  She's the person they call.

Curiouser and curiouser...

Awesome clips up at AOL for tonight's episode:

naw juliette is not penny.. penny is looking for the island, i don't know how or why she knows about it, but she is looking for it, probably because her dad runs that Widmore corp. or something.

After further research (and mugshots) Boombye is correct; Penny Widmore and Juliet are not the same woman.  

Proof:

Juliet


Penny

Juliet's officially hotter.

also another correction yotogi lols, my bad.. those dudes in that artic station were not russian but most likely brazilian as they spoke a brazilian accented portugese or whatever... for some reason we're used to associating snow with russians(and hockey,vodka, etc.) lol.

Is it safe to assume (based on what others seem to be thinking on the LOST forums) that the monster can manifest itself into a form that it can project into the mind of a person?

Jack's Dad, Kate's Horse, Yemi, etc.  I am sure that it has to do with many of the hallucinations on the island though, nonetheless.  Black Smoke induced hallucinations?

What the hell is this thing? Didn't it look like a hand when it was attacking?  It still sounds mechanical, but maybe it's a spiritual body of some sort because of thh way it can condense its form and move around freely?  Sci-Fi robot?  Physically manifested evil?  Maybe the smoke conceals it's real form?  Perhaps there's more than one component to it; a recon portion and a main portion?

I think the person in the other hatch is Radzinsky, the guy who was holed up with Kelvin Inman in The Swan.  He wears an eyepatch, and the tailies found a glass eye in The Arrow, along with the bible that contained the missing portion of film from The Swan's orientation video, all in the same box.  Remember that when Desmond asked Kelvin about the edited parts of the film, that he claimed Radzinsky was responsible for it?  Perhaps he's still alive.

I think his location may very well be "The Flame", the other hatch that was labeled on the blast door map in The Swan.  Obviously he knew about the station if he was capable of adding the name along with the logo on the blast door map.  So far we've seen The Caudecus, The Arrow, The Swan, and The Hydra.

Well, following the theory that they, at one point, were trying to change the world's population in order to avoid the extinction of humanity but that they only wanted to destroy "evil" people, I'd say the black smoke was a "Judgement Day" experiment that went wrong.

It can get in the minds of people and discover their demons. If a person's good nature is unable to be determined, the black smoke can manifest itself to force the person to choose their good or evil side and then destroy the person if they make the wrong choice. Perhaps it was flawed and only finds the bad in people, hence why they abandoned the project and geared towards the virus. It certainly seemed the black smoke was not prepared to attack until Ecko clearly was not sorry for his demons.

In other news...muuuuutiny!

Jeyk, you reminded me of this: http://www.4815162342.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12142&highlight=

crazy episode

[Jeyk]

Two days left.  I hear this new episode will be Juliet-centric.  Interesting...

[Jeyk]

So how many folks are still keeping up with good ol' LOST?

These last two episdoes have had some very interesting things happen, particularly this last episode.

I'd like to get everyone's opinion here - do you think Desmond actually traveled back in time, or was he trapped in his own subconciousness?  Feel free to elaborate upon what you think.

Me, personally...I'm not sure.  The oracle copycat keeps me skeptical on whether or not he traveled back in time.  Was her presence meant to lead us into thinking he was in a lucid dream-like state of some sort? I'm leaning towards that he did travel back in time, but "fate" or the "course-correcting universe" took over to set things back the way they were supposed to be.  I don't know.

I heard a theory that the oracle copycat had the ability to know when people would die, and that is the power that Desmond now has.  The last two "flashes" were related to Charlie, and the first flash about Locke's speech could have been related to Eko's death.  

Hmm...what do you all think?

[Jeyk]

Also, did anyone catch the scene where Jack, while sewing Ben back up, asked Tom "Why couldn't you just take him to a proper facility for this?" or something of that nature, and Tom replied "Well, since the sky turned all purple...", and then he was cut off when Jack nicked Ben's artery by accident?

I wonder how much damage that charge being released caused...you'd think something that big would knock out the adjacent "Alcatraz".

I guess I'm the only one

No No... I'm obsessed as well... On the topic of desmond... maybe he didn't "Travel through time per say... I'm thinking more along the lines of as a side effect of the explosion his life flashed before his eyes... past and future. I don't know if the flashback to before the island was time travel or his subconscious trying to make sense of the fact that he just witnessed flashes of his future. I'm leaning towards subconscious because of the old lady that knew what was going on. But I do believe he has flashes of what's to come. Also, since the only "real" evidence that he can't change fate was in the flashback... perhaps it's not entirely true and he can prevent Charlie's death... at least I hope so.

I actually didn't catch the purple sky remark... Interesting. Perhaps the electromagnetic energy let loose in the explosion knocked out the others communications with the rest of the world. It would make sense that the explosion might of been somewhat similar to some kind of uber-EMP pulse. We'll have to wait and see if anything else comes of that.

Why weren't they using the sub they mentioned having in this last episode when they were going back "home"?
