Looking back a couple of episodes, Michael never met fake Henry before helping him escape. How did Henry seem to know that Michael was there to free him? He gave him the "you know what's up" look.
The scene with Walt in the tent seemed a bit off. His audio seemed like it was dubbed in. Maybe real Walt has hit puberty, and will 6 ft tall with a beard by next season.
Well, Henry knew Michael was held by his group, since the other Losties had discussed going to get him and the potential trade. Maybe Henry just had faith in his group to make it Michael's best interest to come free him. So when Michael showed up, Henry knew the score.
We already knew they were pretending in the Claire "flashback to the kidnap" ep when Kate found their makeup kits and we saw Zeke in nice clean clothes and without his beard. That's the one thing that bugs me though, so many of these characters just keep important info to themselves.
I haven't seen the episodes, but I read somwhere that Walt speaks in backwards speak? Where the sounds are reversed but somehow retain their meaning so people can understand them? For anyone that has seen the episodes before Walt was kidnapped, is this true? I'm not too impressed with Michael's acting either. I mean, he's lying to everyone, potentially leading them to their death, or most certainly capture, and everything he does and says just seems entirely bland. Even when he is upset and shouting about Sayid coming along. I hope Sayid kills him. That would be sweet.
Ya, they don't live in tents, they don't have ratty clothes, they don't eat only dried fish, they have more guns than they are letting on. BTW, Sayid is the MoFo man! "Michael has been compromised." I was like YES! Somebody with a frickin' brain in his head.
I just remembered something I meant to ask about. Are we to assume, based off last night's episode, that when the Others caught them searching for Michael and traded Kate for the guns, that there really WEREN'T like 20 people surrounding Sawyer, Jack and Locke? Beardo screams "Light em up!" and they all light up, but then after they go out, it is only Beardo, Alex and the other nameless dude that take Michael back to their huts. So, assuming it was a torch trick, how is it that the Losties are walking through this forest and don't notice whatever mechanism they use to have 20 stationary torches that apparently run on propane or some other fuel? Just seemed kind of silly to me.
yea, it's true. but i don't think that was the case last night. the backwards speak only happened once, and i think it was during a dream by one of the losties.
When Shannon saw Walt before she was killed that was not a dream, although Sayid tried to convince her that it was. Walt said to her, in backwards speak "They're coming and they're close."
I found this theory on a lost message board. Its confusing, but very interesting..... Aaron*- the real Aaron, a.k.a. The Island, a deeply Catholic psychic entity trapped behind the magnetic doorway in the Swan- he wants those four people on the island. He needs them to help free him before the Others get to him. Aaron uses the Monster to scare away the Others, that is why they can’t just take the four people they want- the Monster will get them. But the Monster only guards around the Swan. That is why the Others were able to kidnap the Taileys easily- no Monster in the area- but the Monster isn’t perfect, thus Ethan Rom’s infiltration. But did you notice he didn’t just kidnap Clair back? He didn’t want to risk the Monster (also notice how the monster use underground tunnels- and where is the psychic entity hidden away? Underground.) The Others want to kill those four so that Aaron (not the baby but the psychic entity behind the magnetic door) can’t escape, because Aaron needs those four to rescue him. The others want to control Aaron because he has this amazing power (alter reality and fate), sort of like how ghosts in the Shining wanted the little boy. They were experimented on by the Dharma initiative, and like the Frankenstein Monster, the Others became too dangerous. So the Dharma Initiative left them there, and sealed them off. But they left one person there to keep Aaron from escaping too, by entering the numbers in the swan (Aaron thinks the numbers mean something- they don’t- but now they do just because he thinks they do. Remember he can alter reality- if he believes it, it is so.) They knew the Others wanted to get into the Swan, so thus they left all those guns. Why leave the guns? To shoot Others with- to protect the Swan. Now the Losties have found the hatch that the Others couldn’t find (because of the Monster/ Security System prevented them) and where Aaron is hidden (Aaron wanted John to find the Swan), they need to get in and capture Aaron (don’t have a clue how, but I think it has soemthing to do with ‘Good” people. Aaron likes good people. And I think he Others are collecting them- kids being innocent and automatically good.) The Others also monitor what is going on because they have collective clairvoyance (far seeing) – the strange whispering voices people hear on occasion. The Darmha Initiative taught them this among other things (they have some powers- super quiet, leave no trail, strong (Ethan carried pregnant Clair and Charlie though the woods, and STILL beat the crap out of Jack)). The boat is Desmond. He said he was in a race around the world in a sail boat, plus he ran off. So where did he go? Where would you go if you thought the island was going to explode? A boat. And if you saw that it didn’t but you couldn’t escape because of the magnetic force field around the island, then where would you go? Back to the Losties. Plus I believe he is going to join the cast to replace Michael. Michael is a goner. In movies ‘the means never justify the ends,’ and characters who don’t learn this generally get punished by getting killed off. So, adios Michael. *He is named Aaron because Claire psychically got the name from The Island, -Thus the psychic entity a.k.a. The Island, is named Aaron. Aaron a.k.a. the Island, needs those four people to right their collective wrongs before they can help him, thus he creates the people they see (Jack’s dad, the Horse, the Boar, etc), to help them overcome their past sins, and to atone for them. Once they have atoned, they can help him escape form the island (all this due to his strong religious beliefs) and the Others who want to harness him and his powers. By the way, imagine if Carrie, from the self same titled book and movie, were experimented on and had her powers massively (and inadvertently) enhanced by the Dharma Initiative. That is Aaron, except his powers have to do more with fate and alerting reality, not as much to do with telekinesis. The black Rock is the giant magnetic anomaly buried next to the swan. It is why the Island has never been charted and can’t bee seen, and draw ships, boat and balloons to the island (over the years is drag the ship inland, slowly but surely). It is the source of the power. And we all know power corrupts. Aaron is the white rock (good), and the magnetic anomaly is the black stone (evil).
Ana Lucia killed somebody before she got to the island as well but the others didn't ask for her either. Interesting observation from the preview. During the last few seconds we see Jack standing in front of this pile of clear canisters. It looks like the drive thru bank teller things ie... the things that were sent up the tube from the Pearl Hatch. This makes it look like Dharma hasn't been involved with the island for a while and the Locke's map really didn't go anywhere or end up in anybody elses hands.
If that happens to pan out, then "Lost" is nothing but a bad Stephen King novel made-for-TV series which I wouldn't have wasted time watching had I known this whole good versus evil mixed with a super-entity bs storyline. I can't help but feel we are all in for a letdown when this show wraps. Look what they did with the Michael/others story-line. All they did was twist the sequence of events taking a rather obvious concept of Michael being kidnapped by the Others and blackmailed into releasing the one Other while tricking four Losties into helping him free his boy as part of a deal with the Others. It wouldn't have been nearly as interesting had they just played it out in order without all the missing periods of time which came back in the form of flashbacks. When all that happened was explained, I felt let down that this is all there was to what Michael was doing. The flashbacks are nothing more than a device to keep you guessing on a storyline that would have been a little more straightforward and, need I say...BORING, had it played out without the flashbacks as it happened. The concept of "Lost" seems more like to lose the audience in a myriad of flashbacks to create a puzzle we are trying to put together yet someone helping us with the puzzle stole a fair amount of the puzzle pieces just to f*ck with us and supposedly make for a more interesting puzzle piecing experience.
The last few episodes have been pretty depressing. If these "Other" people are so powerful, why don't they just invade?
