Responding to this recent theory reminded me of a question that always comes to my mind whenever I’m reminded of the fact that the producers had originally planned to have Jack die at the end of the very first episode. … Continue reading

Healing thru time travel

My latest theory involves the explanation for Locke’s healing, and its temporary nature – depending on his “relationship” with the island at any point in time. Basically, it goes like this: through whatever manner the island is able to interact … Continue reading
