that's one of the magnetic effects of the island, aggressive morning wood.
i'm sure we all noticed that the numbers assigned to each candidate made up the famous 4-8-15-16-etc. chain of numbers. are they going to explain that this season? as in, "this is why duncan mccloud over there had to punch numbers into a terminal for years on end, okay, here, there you go. satisfied?"
oh gosh i hope they do.
Damon Lindelof said:There are some questions that are very engaging and interesting, and then there are other questions that we have no interest whatsoever in answering. We call it the midi-chlorian debate, because at a certain point, explaining something mystical demystifies it. To try and have a character come and say, "Here is what the numbers mean," actually makes every usage of the numbers up to that point less interesting.
You can actually watch Star Wars now, and when Obi-Wan talks about the Force to Luke for the first time, it loses its luster because the Force has been explained as, sort of, little biological agents that are in your blood stream. So you go, "Oh, I liked Obi-Wan's version a lot better." Which in the case of our show is, "The numbers are bad luck, they keep popping up in Hurley's life, they appear on the island." ... But if you're watching the show for a detailed explanation of what the numbers mean—and I'm not saying you won't see more of them—then you will be disappointed by the end of season six.
I wonder if Alt Timeline Ben really is just a teacher or if he's an EVIL TEACHER. I mean the whole thing with him being shot by Sayid and resurrected in the pool happened before the bomb went off so it still happened in this timeline, RIGHT?
I hope the finale is Sideways Locke vs. UnLocke vs. ZOMBIE Locke after he comes back from the dead!
BTW, anyone else think Penny might not have been born in the other reality, since if the plane never crashed, then Syied never went back in time and shot Ben, Ben never turned evil, took over the others and forced Widmore off the island.
Now I am assuming that Penny was not born on the island, but was conceived after Widmore left, and probably not with Eloise.
On the other hand Daniel could still have been born, but this time raised on the island, with Charlotte.
In 1992, following increased conflict between the Others and the Dharma Initiative, the Others purge the island of the Dharma folk by releasing poisonous gas at Dharma's barracks.[7] The Others subsequently move into the barracks. It is during this time that Charles is banished from the island as punishment for repeatedly leaving the island and fathering a child, Penelope "Penny" Widmore (Sonya Walger), with an "outsider."[5] Charles tells Ben, the Others' new leader, that one day he would have to choose between Alex, now his adopted daughter, and the island.[5]
