Show:
I think the rest of the show will play out from the current time and have flashbacks to the past (2003) on the island. This lends to the production moving to L.A.. I’m not sure about this move because the island is the show and is the entire plot of the story.
Future/Present Time:
The reason for Jack was so upset because it was Locke who died. And the reason for him to be so upset was becuase John believed in the island. He wanted to keep the island a secret as Ben did and knew that it should be kept a secret, John helped the island.
My theory for future episodes on how it will play out:
Widmore is on the ship, they come to destroy the island and fight against the inhabitants which includes the “others” and Locke. Jack and the other cast-a-ways help with that struggle against the “others” effectively helping the truly bad people the Whidmore corporation.
The Whidmore corp. in return helps out the castaways. Gives Kate and Sawyer some kind of pardon and who knows what else for the others.
I do think Kate had Sawyers kid and is with him now. The reason for not dying from the pregnancy was because they got off the island or Whidmore helped destroy the island enough to not let the island kill the mothers and pregnancy.
As you can tell the episode revealed a lot to me. And I’m getting a lot of it by listening to Ben and actually believing what he’s saying is true, in the past we was the master manipulator but I think the writers are trying to play that angle when they actually are revealing a lot.
I’m with you on a lot of that, except that I don’t think that Whidmore is out to destroy the island; I think they want to take control of it.
That’s what I mean but there control will eventually destroy it. That’s why Jack is so upset and wants to go back. Either way they aren’t using it like they should be.
