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.
Since we just had a Juliet episode recently, I’m wondering when we’ll see the rest of her story.
Specifically, when does she turn from a whimpering sucker into the hardened, lying judo master we see today? It had to have happened sometime during that three years, but I’m wondering why.
My best guess is that (based on what we’ve seen now) is that she was telling the truth to Jack in season 3 - there actually was a subset within “the others” who were planning on overthrowing Ben. I believe that she was probably a member of that group, along with Goodwin and probably Ethan.
We’ll see how it plays out.
So I have a theory that at first glance, when I spit it out during the episode last week, sounded absurd. But the more I think about it the more it seems not only plausible but probable. And if it is I’ll be stoked to have made even one correct prediction, just like Jason and Dan with this sites name. But again be warned if you don’t wanna know about this weeks trailer like Dan or if you wanna be surprised next week, then you might wanna skip this, but I think you should read it. If you don’t, come back and read it after this weeks episode.
So to my theory, in the trailer at the end of last week they talk about this upcoming episode saying that there will be things such as betrayal deceit and “lies”. “Lies” being the only word I’m sure of, but right after the narrator says “lies” it changes shots to a piece of paper for 1/4 of a second that says “DONT TRUST THE CAPTAIN”. Leading me to think that they are telling us that the piece of paper is a lie. Also, in last weeks episode Locke says to Ben that he wants to know who his “guy” on the ship is. The fact that they have kept the Captain hidden for so long leads me to believe that Ben’s “guy” IS the Captain. Before I say who I think the Captain is, the reason I think who I think it is, is in the trailer for this week the narrator also says we’ll see someone we never thought we’d see again. Also last week Minkosky(?) said “looks like you guys have a friend on the ship” or something like that. So now to who I think it is… Michael!!! I think that Ben made a deal with/or manipulated Michael into working for him before he let him and Walt leave, the way that we have seen Sayid do for Ben in the flashforwards. I think Michael went and got the job as ships captain for Whitmore’s ship under the instruction of Ben. Also, Michael may or may not be one of the Oceanic Six. Which then gives new thought to the theory on who (Michael?) is in the casket and why no one showed up to the NON-viewing/memorial, other than Jack.
So what do you guys think?
