I am a big movie buff and I noticed that the storyline concerning Hurley and the fact that he see’s dead people sounds a lot like the plot from an old classic movie called Harvey. This movie starred Jimmy Stewart back in 1950 the plot was about a man who saw a 6 foot rabbit and he ended up being placed in a mental hospital by his family. His family ended up taking control of all his assets. I also found out that the six foot rabbit he sees was inspired by a mythological creature called the Puka. The Puka is a creature that appears to wayward travelers. In this movie it appears as a rabbit but in mythology it usually appears as a black horse. This movie to me seems to be the inspiration for Hurley’s character as well as the encounters Kate has with the black horse. Please let me know what you think of my theory?
I’m going to just give a rundown of my thoughts on Lost’s 4th season and some overall theories running through my mind.
Jack is the “chosen” one, or the person that should have replaced Ben -
“Bad things happened after [Jack] left”. I’m guessing Locke came back to find Jack and Kate for two reasons:
To save the island he needs Jack to return. Jack is a real leader and he seems to have a bigger connection with the island compared to Locke, it’s hidden by Jack’s denial and Locke’s passion but after some gestures by Jack at the end of the final it seems he knows what the island can do. Example: Jack denying Locke could move the island when hurley brought it up at the end of the finale; seems to me like Jack knows more than he lets on.
Jack is in the family tree. I believe that his dad has a huge spiritual part of the island and it’s getting more apparent with him showing himself to Micheal–who’s never seen him–. The other two in the family tree: Claire and Aaron.
So Locke not only needs Jack back, to lead the island, but Aaron as well to me the islands future.
I agree with the wormhole theory from popular mechanics.
To make physics sense of the movement of the island in Lost, I assume that the island is actually connected to the South Pacific by a wormhole-like warp in space-time. (It doesn’t have to be a simple worm hole; it could be a warren of parallel and intersecting tubes.) Then, to move the island, all you have to do is move the wormhole connection, not the island itself. That’s what I think Ben did. He changed the nature of the space-time connection between the island and the rest of the world.
So the island didn’t disappear. It didn’t even move. Imagine that you are visiting a small town that you used to visit when you were young. You drive for miles, and never come to it. But it turns out the town has not moved. Rather, the highway now goes around it. That’s what Ben did—he changed the highway.
Jin will meet up with Farriday on the boat and they will eventually find the isand after some time passes and they pass the door.
Hurley is truely insane–off the island–but with the island’s healing powers he’s fine. A crackpot theory: Hurley has abilities like Miles and he can’t control it, on the island he can control it.
– Hopefully the others come back to me.
Locke (or someone else on the island) makes contact / has conversation with Jack and the O6 on Penny’s boat, before they take off on the raft. They spent a week on her boat before taking off again on the raft, and I’m betting we’ll eventually see a flashback to that week.
Jin is not coming back. Hopefully, at least; I think that would be cheesy.
The first sighting of Locke on the mainland will be inexplicably close to whenever the O6 return. This will seem odd until they reveal that the island shifted in time (possibly in addition to or instead of space), so that Locke is now “ahead of them” and could theoretically get back to the mainland before they did.
Miles will be a cool character; I think he stayed on the island because he has learned a lot about it during his brief visit. If he truly can communicate with dead people, he potentially now knows more about the island than anyone else on it at this point.
Faraday’s raft was close enough to the island to stay with it. Hoping to see something come of the similarity between faraday’s journal notes and the island map.
Maybe more to come later…
IMDb has listed the actor that plays Jacob.
Don’t go here if you don’t want a surprise!!
So theres a lot of thoughts flying through my head about the show. instead of fully writing them out I just joted ideas down for you to all look at. A couple might be absurd but hey their still fun
the knife might be the one that Locke kills Naomi with.
Upon review, its not the knife. but what was the knife on the table for?
what if different cordinante to and from the island take you to different time periods in the rest of the world as well as on the island
The thing on Keamy’s arm might be a bomb or some other weapon that activates if hes killed (when his pulse stops, why its on his arm near an artery) or when physically activated.
the orderlly is jacob? no
Hurley sharing a candy bar with ben isnt the first candy bar that has been given to ben.
maybe they arent going to move the islands physical location but rather its place in time.
John and Ben both have had kidney issues. Both had fully functional kidneys. John got coned out of one of his, ben was held hostage by jack using his kidney.
So I hate to have to debunk my own theory but Emily Locke was in on the scam for Johns kidney, for the money. So she wouldn’t have been able to die giving birth to ben and still be around to scam john.
So what does the same name thing mean. Both their mothers names are Emily. both had kidney issues. Both have killed their fathers or had something to do with it.
Thought: what if Sawyer and John are half brothers. Same dad…
Did Claire tell Christian Shepherd to tell charlie to tell hurley to tell jack that hes not supposed to raise aaron because in season 5 maybe Jack goes back to the island to save everyone else. Maybe he dies on the island in season 5 like he was supposed in the Pilot. Maybe Sawyer and Kate do end up together.
Jack = John
John Shepherd
John Locke
Maybe on the island no one is alive or dead they are just in limbo because of its time properties which cause Richard to not age.
Maybe that limbo and in ability to age is what causes babies to not come to term.
It’s Michael in the casket. He betrayed everyone but tried to redeem himself which explains why no one but Jack showed up. I saw this because on the Enhanced “Through the Looking Glass” with “on screen facts” say that the article is about a man from new york who’s found dead in LA. If Michael Dies on the ship but the ship actually get back to the US they probably just dump the body. Walt is in NY.
4 8 15 16 23 42: numbers to help get people to and from the island???
Is anyone studying the correlation between Lost and the Bible? There are quite a few characters biblical names in the show.
http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Bible#Biblical_names
and check out the whole “shadow of death”/”monster” thing right under the names.
So at first I didn’t know what to title this post but that thought of what to name it has put a little more weight behind this theory<observations. Did any one notice/remember that in Bencentric episode 3.20 (Ben’s birth), Ben’s mother is named Emily which is Locke’s mothers name. Half Brothers!!!!! and the episode being aired 3 days before mothers day I think lends a little more credence to this thought.
This is a post about tonight’s episode - don’t read it if you haven’t watched it yet.
So, I can only assume that the “changing the rules” Ben was referring to was the killing of an innocent person. I think that both Ben and Charles are somehow obligated to follow the same set of rules (perhaps “by the island”, whatever that means), and at least one of them is based around the “good people” thing they’ve alluded to throughout the show, specifically forbidding them (personally) from harming them.
Just a quick reaction theory, but I thought I’d throw it out there…
Danielle Rousseau - I’m guessing we’re going to see her back story sometime this season, especially if she’s going to die after getting shot last time.
I suspect we’ll also see a Libby - Whidmore connection from the past at some point, probably this season. I think it’s likely that Whidmore was involved in her giving the boat to Desmond. If that’s the case, then it also raises a few interesting questions: was she on the flight to intentionally get onto the island, and (if so) how did she / Whidmore know that plane was going to crash - perhaps it was intentional, etc.
I think we’re going to get at least one surprising or interesting flashback (or forward) from a character that we haven’t seen one for before. I’d love to see one from Richard, although I don’t know if they’ll do that this season.
Other longshots that I don’t know whether they’re going to eventually bring back in to the story are Thomas (Claire’s ex-boyfriend / Aaron’s dad), and Hurley’s friend from the institution that kept repeating the numbers over and over again. Neither of them will have a dedicated flashback (unless they become major characters), but it would be cool to see their backstories overlap with the island in some way at some point in the past.
I just heard on a caller on the recording of the Jay & Jack 24 hour podcast state a very interesting observation that I hadn’t thought of before, but I think it has to play into things somehow.
So far, every single one of the Oceanic Six that we’ve seen (apart from Aaron, if he is really included as one of the six) was on the other side of the island when Desmond turned the failsafe key.
Jack, Kate, and Hurley (and Michael, even though he might not be considered one of the six) were off on their mission to get captured. Sayid and Sun (and Jin, but it doesn’t sound like he makes it) were on the boat, also on the other side of the island.
As far as I can tell, the only other person we’ve seen off island in the future is Ben. This means that every person (other than Aaron) that we’ve seen off island was also on the other side of the island at the time of the failsafe being triggered. It seems like that can’t possibly be a coincidence.
