Looking Glass Station - Underwater Hatch

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.

I have some theories about the show that Jared has covered and some he hasn’t.

Jacob:

• Jacob is the island or the island is Jacob. I’m thinking the later since Ben does did say he’s doing things for the island and Jacob told him these things.
• Jacob told Locke to “help me” which I believe meant save me the island from the impeding ruin.
• Jacob is what he want’s you to see. He’s the horse, Jack’s Dad and now Walt. That is why Locke didn’t see Ben’s Jacob.

The island:
My overall theory of what the island holds a lot of special abilities but the main one includes a sud-o fountain of youth which is what Dharma was after and now Whidmore primarily wants (more later). There are a few things that help or go along with this theory about the fountain of youth.

• The story is old, so old that the some of the early founders could have built that statue to glorify it. That statue could be a statue of Jacob, of course not the jacob we see since he’d have 5 toes instead of 4.
• The children are taken to protect them, like Ben said. Protecting them from either another force on the island or the island’s population control…

Smoke Monster:

• I think the smoke monster is controlled by Jacob and is the grainy sand stuff outside the hut that Locke looked so closely at.
• I also think the smoke monster is part of the population control that goes with the premise of the fountain of youth. Since no one can die it deems if people are acceptable enough to live either for ever or an extended period and also reep in the rewards of the mythical island.

 Notice how everyone on that island had daddy issues:

• Kate
• Jack
• Ben
• Hurley
• Sun
• Claire
• Sawyer
