OK. Watched it the first couple of seasons. Not so much anymore. My theory is that they are making it up as they go along. The writers do some sort of drug and then say to each other "well, what do you think should happen next?"

But, the rest of you have at it. I hope it pans out for you. It will be fun, if it does.

A question: has any of the theories you had from the first couple of seasons panned out yet? Have they ever explained the polar bear or Walt?
 
Oh yeah. The polar bears were explained in season 3, and Walt... well, I'm not sure what you needed explained, but he made it home and was in one of the last couple of episodes.

I'm pretty certain they are not just making it up as they go along.
 
yes that has seemed more and more likely I wonder what Kate will think next week.

So what do you think the giant statue was that they saw just before the last flash?
I love it!! A love rhombus (like a love trianlge, but with four sides, the opposing sides which don't meet, i.e. Jack doesn't get it on with Sawyer and Kate won't with Juliette)!! Tough call since she did get to gether with Jack for a while once they got back. Looks like the makings for a bit of a soap opera in there.
Well...at least we know why Jin was in the Van now. I'm also very happy about the Sawyer/Juliette thing. I felt bad for him after Kate left. I just hope that Kate doesn't come in and mess it all up now.

Is Goodspeed the one who got Ben's dad to come to the island?
Just want to mention that I was right. I love it when that happens.
Yes, Horace Goodpseed was the one that brought Ben and his father to the island. Jin, Sawyer, Juliette and Miles are in the mid 70's, and now Jack, Kate and Hurley are there too - but where's Sun?
YOU KNOW, she is going to come back and mess it up!
I have SO much to say, I got to work today and the THEORIES were FLYING!
Of course, it's a love rhombus.
Randini, WHERE ARE YOU???????
Something came up. I just got around to watching it.
Here we go,
The statue, something CLEARLY happens to it after because if you recall when they were on the little boat on an episode, there was only the foot left? Remember?
Yea the four toed foot. Too bad we only saw the back of the whole statue.
One of the girls here thinks that Ben is going to be like Richard, stuck in time and doesn't age.
I don't buy it. Locke maybe. Ben's too machiavelian. Remember when Ben & Locke went to "see" Jacob, that Jacob asked Locke to help him. I don't think that Ben has any "special" connection to the island and is more similar to what Castro is to Cuba - a political figure/military leader.
I CAN NOT believe they did not say the name of the baby??? I NEED TO KNOW THAT![/QUOTE]You waiting to see if it's Jacob like I am? I mean Jacob lives in Horace's cabin.

'Lost' recap: Settling into a groove | Lost | 1 | TV Recaps | Totally 'Lost' | EW.com

Another great recap....Richard might be Egyptian? Hence the eyeliner? Hence the Statue? He never ages? Very interesting theory in the recap.
Interesting. I agree with him about sawyer telling horace the whole spiel about being able to get over love, then having that "oh shucks (editied to get around profanity filster), now am I going to do" look on his face when Kate showed up (assuming he aws actually talking about Kate and not the mother of Clementine - his daughter). I disagree with the author though in talking about Lost leaving the drama. They just made a freaking love rhombus. That's pure soap opera material right there (and IMHO soap operas are basically over dramatized drama).

I do like his Egypt theory though. My only problem with it is that the Island seems to always be inthe Pacific. However, Yimmy's (Echo's brother) plane (the beechcraft that Boone died in) crashed on it after coming out of Nigeria. Since there's no way a plane that small would make it to the Pacific without stopping to refuel (who's to say it didn't?) the island might actually go to the Atlantic once in a while - after all, it is always moving (as Eloise said). Aso note that the necklace that Amy took from her husband before turning him over to be brought to the hostiles is is not a cross, it's an ankh, an ancient egyptian symbol for eternal life (interestingly of you go to the wiki page for Horus, there's a drawing of him holding an ankh in his hand and when Horace pulls the Ankh that Amy was hiding in the sock drawer, he holds it up).
No it was Tunisia.
That is correct. Interstingly, Tunisia is very close to Egypt (they're only separated by Lybia) and was like the major "fork in the road" of acient times (Egyptians moving outward - and later Romans moving into Africa). I'm not sure, but I'd bet that ancient Tunisia was heavily onfluenced by the Egyptians. Hmmm. I'm going to have to read up a bit on Ancient Tunisia, maybe that's where the key is.
 
Ok I watched the last episode of lOST last night on fancast online for a second time. I missed a lot the first time cause of the family darn kids. I noticed a few flaws props dept is slipping.
only three small details.

1. the walkies that Sawyer took from the others that they knocked off is way not of the 1970's ERA more like the 90's
also some of the tools in the garage Juliet was working in are too new technologically as well the grinder in particular that she was using on the VW is a BOSH grinder. I dont even think they were made back in the 70s not with the blue thermoplastic cases at least. Also the compressor in garage looked way to new as well. which leads me to question the whole submarine? how exactly did the Dharma group get their hands on what looks like a pretty big sub. In the 90s sure no problem in the 70's I dont think so. And why use a sub anyway just for stealth? Blue tools 90s silver tools 70's see the difference.

The walkie I noticed. My dad used to have walkie talkies when I was a kid and they were NOT digital, black or small. They were big ol' chromed plastic things with lots of knobs and dials and telescoping antennas.

Good all on the tools though. I'm sure they were just prop/continuity errors. Speaking of props (if you can count wardrobe as props), Juliette did look pretty tasty in those hippy duds.

As for the sub, I don't really know. Maybe it is for stealth resons, or maybe underwater they aren't affected by the conciousness dislodgement. Remember it happened to Desmond when he went aboard the freighter (travelling by helicopter), and in the sick bay the radio guy died from it after having takent he zodiac out to get closer to the island.

Another possibility is that subs do have very long ranges and underwater you shouldn't feel the rough seas as much.

AS for the feasability of getting one, it wouldn't be cheap (especially in the 60 & 70's), but since subs have been around for ages (they were in use during the US Civil War) I'm sure you could have picked up a surplus one somplace - heck Brazil's had subs since like the 30's and Pakistan since the 70's. I'm sure if Brazil & Pakistan could afford one, so could Dharma. Also, offshore oil and gas drilling companies have been using them for decades, I want to say since like the 50's but I'm not sure about that.
 
uh......not on tonite, reshow of last week's episode I think
