I Answer All Questions About LOST

BUT...I'm also calling it here: the "Adam and Eve" skeletons found in the caves back in season 1 are actually Sawyer and Kate. :D

I agree. I'm interested in finding out how this anomalous time thing figures into the overall plot.

From what I've seen of the spoilers (which I tend to avoid), the rest of this season looks really interesting.
 
Incidentally, and talking about spoilers, here's a great site that always seems to have the scoop on things:

Here are a few that are interesting to me:

Time may not be passing on the island at the same rate as off the island.
We will learn why Locke was paralyzed.
Jack has met one of the Others in a flashback.
The Flame Station will be found this season.
Kimberley Joseph is returning as Cindy in season 3
 
I didn't realise Jack's tattoo wasn't the actor's...

And I've been thinking for a while that the island may be out of time with the real world, it'd be a good excuse if they bring back Walt and he's way older.

What? I thought they actually were Matt Fox's tattoos, and the producers just worked them into the story.

No shit. Did you see how tall he was in the hut during "Three Minutes?" In the season finale, they had him crouched down in the boat.
 
Oh. I thought they were the actor's real tattoos, but then you had me confused with your analysis of them. So why does he have a Lebanese symbol on there?

Beats me. I double-checked, and they are his own tats. He probably thought it looked cool and the artist didn't fill him in. I've heard stories of girls going to Chinese tat parlors and getting some cool Asian phrase only to find out later it really means "filthy slut" or something like that.

And for the record, the Chinese characters in his tattoo should translate as "Eagles high up, cleaving the space."

Is it purgatory? And if not, are you SURE it's not purgatory? No matter that the creators say it isn't?

Heh, it does have that purgatory element to it, doesn't it? Characters who resolve their biggest issues leave.

Boone: in love with his stepsister. Resolves that. Boom gone.

Shannon: finally finds someone who takes her seriously. Boom gone.

Ana Lucia: has a vengeful streak, but learns to not strike back at those who have hurt her. Boom gone.

Michael and Walt learn to accept each other into their lives. Boom gone.

But I don't think so. That would be a cheap way out, and the producers have assured us everything is happening in our reality.

Speaking of purgatory, some of the actors got together and filmed the final episode of Lost: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk3OnJ62GMc
 
question:
how can a doctor who's so sensitve about caring for people - even compulsive about it - have been so rudely intrusive into someone else's culture like that?
She told him it was against her peoples' way to tattoo outsiders - and still he was physically threatening, shoving her, yelling at her to, IIRC,"to make the mark".

I found it irritatingly out of character for the time and situation.... Why all the emo?
He wasn't threatened, he's on vacation in Thailand for fuck's sake...what was there to get so het up about?
....is this just writers' inconsistancy with the 'Jack' character?
Or do they just like filming him with his eyes bugging out all the time now?

Good question.

It's my understanding that these flashbacks refer to a "dark period" in Jack's life. I'd have to go back and look, but I'm pretty sure he had the tats when he was married, so this is pre-marriage Jack.

What prompted this "dark period" is probably something we'll find out later. Bad relations with Christian and Mommy? Drug habit? Who knows. The producers seem to love to make us speculate like that.

But it was definitely a different Jack vacationing in Phucket.

Coyote: You're not one of those crazed fans who is going to break onto the set of LOST and cause hell, are you? ;)

Going to?

Nah, I'm one of those crazed fans who'd break into Evangeline Lilly's trailer while naked except for a bowtie and blue paint head to toe and with a rose in my mouth.

I can't blame you there at all.
 
Recent speculation is going in the direction that the flashbacks aren't entirely just memory flashbacks at all, but are also happening to the characters (again?) as we see them. Something to do with the time anomalies at work on the island and very similar to the events in the novel "Slaughterhouse-Five", but on a multi-character level.

Thoughts? :)

Hmm. I haven't heard that one, but that's interesting since flashback themes almost always coincide with the plot of the episode.

It would actually explain a lot.
 
And it would tie in with Desmond's adventures a couple of episodes ago, too. Except he remembered being on the island or something.

It's all very convoluted, which is a good thing. Makes for interesting television.
