1)He told her to leave and apparently from Charlotte’s words he told her if she ever came back she would die…I don’t know how much more need be said to convey the point about getting the hell off that island (Again if you watch the scene once more you’ll see they cut away from the scene while he’s still bending down talking to her, so maybe that’s when he told her she was gonna die if she came back)

2)Apparently one of the protocols from Widmore was to destroy the gas because this is what “The Others” (notably Ben Linus) used to kill the Dharma initiative and they feared he’d use it again to kill Widmore’s people or whomever else if it came down to it…So no that had nothing to do with the Jughead bomb…

two questions: 1. if Daniel was trying to save Charlotte why didn’t he convince her to stay is US and not come to the island and
2. why were Daniel and Charlotte trying to set of some kind of gas when they first arrived is this linked to blowing up the bomb, at the time I had just put it down to deactivating any security system Ben had in place. But it just seems strange that the scientists should be employed in securing the island.

questions, damn questions.

the way i take it is: it was his first time to be killed and her first time to kill. She doesnt know who he was when she kills him. She then went on to give birth to her son knowing what she had done. the child has no memory of being shot, as he was an adult when it happened. She has no memory of him before she shoots him as he keeps (if its circular) going back to the same point before she is aware of who he is. imho

John 3:5

Psalm 23

Ezekial 16:60

Ezekial 11:17

John 3:16 [/quote]

Okay, so I know that

John 3:5 was on Eko’s “Jesus stick”
Psalm 23 was the name of an episode, and on the stick
and
John 3:16 was the Ajira flight number

But where in LOST have you found references to Ezekiel?

All this bible talk got me thinking… Remember in S2E10 P23, when Eko says the bible verse incorrectly? He says “Yea, though I walk through the shadow of the valley of death” instead of “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.” D&C claimed that it was an innocent error on the writers’ part and that it made sense since Eko wasn’t REALLY a priest. But what if the error was a purposeful hint for this season? What if “what lies in the shadow the statue” is the “valley of death?” Not sure where this goes next: Ben’s body pit? Some other burial ground, perhaps beneath the temple? Smokey’s lair?

Dude…. it was wierd….I think I’m gonna have to take that out to be honest. I was talking with with someone about Ezkiels wheels and the donkey wheel, and then we got on this whole noah’s arc tangent( I was loving the idea of the island being the arc….hmmm) So I made a mistake and left that crap in there.

My humble apologies to ALL you bloggers!!
Thank you very much for catching that PJ!! That’s one of the things thi blog is here for.

Loving all the new theories after this great episode. Here’s a thought. What if the island is the promised land Moses led his people to in the Old Testament. Remember after leading his people there he was not allowed in? Could the island be this promised land? Are the others the descendants of the ancient people who left a live of slavery to find salvation? Remember Moses is a descendant of Jacob.

But it was funny

I’ll back you up on ANY theory You post Here. Even if it’s not is englisH….lol!!!!

I’m an asshole too…obviously

I will give Supernatural a chance because you said so.

For me there’s lost…then the wire.

But i’m the same guy who =owns the la femme nikita collect and SWEARS that’s the most underrated show

But I think you are missing an important point here – there are PLENTY of people who DON’T get it and are fine with that. These are the same people who can watch the “Law and Order” and CSI shows and WAIT to be told who the perpetrator is. There are also people who don’t get it and stop watching. Those are the people for whom formulaic mindless drivel is created. I am not saying that ever person who stopped watching LOST is a moron. Only that it requires that you pay attention and THINK. Some people prefer to escape and NOT think when they watch television.

——————————————————
Great points, I’d just add that that’s the beauty of LOST…It’s a show that can be appreciated on so many levels…You don’t have to understand any of it to just enjoy the cinematic nature of the show, or even the interaction between certain characters…It’s funny but my sister was the first person to tell me about LOST…She was so stoked to watch it (and this is a girl who doesn’t get hyped for anything but Lifetime movies)…I watched the first 5-10 episodes of it with her weekly…Although this sounds idiotic now, I would tell her that it was really about a dinosaur island, LMAO (and that would have been enuff for me!)…She just wanted to see how people after a plane crash would hunt, eat, form communities, survive, etc. (and that was enuff for her)..When it became clear that the show was something far more obtuse in nature she stopped watching it…Til this day she hates it and even if I stop by her house and talk about it she will yell at me for even talking about it…Now she’s an extreme case, but it ties into your point about how some people just want escapism, and not a mental journey…

Unlike Macgyver I was hooked from ep 1, and loved S1 (Mostly I thought the flashback model of storytelling was so unique and I’m a big Quinten Tarentino fan so I really enjoyed that element), but I do understand why people would give up on the show…My personal breaking point came during the polar bear cage eps followed by that 3 month hiatus, but I was frustrated by wanting to know so much more, not being tired of it…I can’t even watch shows like the CSI’s, NCIS, Law & Orders, etc. because they are so mentally beneath me when compared to LOST, yet I do understand why people watch them (CSI’s has to be one of the most blatantly dumb show franchises ever where the culprit just outs themselves at the 50 min mark every ep)…

Ignoring some great shows found on premium cable TV (Dexter, Rescue Me, Formerly “the Wire” and “ROME”) there is only 1 network show that even comes near the same ballpark as being as good as LOST and that’s the bastard child of the CW network “Supernatural” (The most underrated show of the last 5 years PERIOD!)…If CSI or whatever had 1% of the creative writing and character development of that show it would be amazing…Anyone who thinks it’s just some “Monster of the week” cheesy show as no idea, no clue at all…These are the only 2 shows that truly get my hyped outta my mind each week, but again like you said not everyone can appreciate stuff like this…That’s why Micheal Bay hasn’t been beheaded yet…That’s why it’s gonna be so hard 18 eps from now to cope…That’s why I’m a masochist for that end-date…

I ‘m so guilty of telling the wrong person to F-off!!!!

I thought stevie was Macgruber.

Hey, atleast I went for right the throat. I’m trying to apologise Dear Steve….but it’s kinda hard with this foot stuck in my mouth.

LOL!!!![/quote]

____________________________

Not a problem. but you did get the asshole thing right, or so my wife keeps telling me.

LOL!!!!

I also agree on the end-date being problematic in that we cannot savor the intrigue while we digest the answers we are being given. Wingman, you’ve made it known that you think we need more episodes, and honestly, I agree. But we can’t change that.

Here’s the thing… There are several problems with no end date. Either the fans get gypped because the full story isn’t told (The Nine, Reunion). Or the writers have to finish up a story arc and make something else completely different and hope that people keep watching (Prison Break, 24, Desperate Housewives) Or the writers have to keep making stuff up to prolong the story. By pushing for an end-date, D&C provided for the fans a PROMISE that we weren’t going to be left hanging because ABC canceled the show AND gave them a definitive timeline within which they could finish their story. ABC got guaranteed ratings for 48 hours over three years.

Do I wish they could renegotiate for a few more hours? Of COURSE! But even if ABC gave them a greenlight to do so, they’d have to renegotiate with the actors who would then be in a position to hold the production hostage for outrageous wages. That just won’t happen.
