this episode looks really good…i cannot wait!

looks promising !!

I know we have posted a few sites in the past that you can watch past episodes on but I just found a Canadian TV station that does it also: http://www.ctv.ca/programs.
I know that people outside the US cannot view the episodes on abc.com, I’m not sure if the same goes for this site.
Below is a direct link to the episodes.

http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/show/CTVShows/20040922/Lost-special/20090205/

Anyone interested, here is an article from that same tv station dealing with lost and its 100th episode. FYI there are no spoilers.

one more day before lost!! Yeah!!!!

Poor Jack. Although Eloise may have told him that going back was his destiny, I still think he went back because John told him about his father being alive, and because he saw his dad (at his office right before he started popping pills).

I certianly hope he starts taking a larger role in this series, as he is mostly MIA this season, and has not really served any purpose.

hey Jonathan, are you brazilian !!?

Jack’s time will come…he will be important again.

jonathan- nice clip thanks for sharing.

I do have a question though- Jack in the beginning has been let’s get to it kind of guy and has thought through some serious problems…. This season he has acted like a punch drunk prom date…. okay whatever type attitude…WTF.

I’ve really enjoyed this season don’t get me wrong it just seems his role has taken a little siesta so to speak. I hope he picks up speed in the next few weeks.

Also I need a Locke fix and Ben…. 13 HOURS TO GO BRING IT ON!!!!!

Richard7769,
You have to go to a site called

There is a link for the website just below the “Submit Comment” button.
I will have to put one up myself when I get around to it (which is usually never lol).

I ususally enjoy the episodes with Faraday involved, looks like tonight should be no different.

I find it very strange that Sawyer says, “I’m going back to the beach”. At first I thought he was talking about the beach camp the 815 losties made but that is impossible since that is not there yet (they are in 77 so it never happaned yet) I guess he could mean that he is going back to where the sub is or any other beach for that matter but I just found it strange.

i think he meant the sub for sure. there are so many characters that have been lost in this season….no pun intended. jack, locke and desmond are rarely in it.

biglostfan,
I forgot all about that tattoo.
From Lostpedia
The literal translation of the tattoo, “Eagles high, cleaving sky”
Translation given by Isabel in “Stranger in a Strange Land”, “He walks amongst us, but he is not one of us.”
Achara (the one that done the tattoo) said that she the gift of sight to see someone’s inner identity and said that Jack was “a leader, a great man” and that is what Jack tried to force her to tattoo on him.
FYI it said that Matthew Fox had the tattoo before coming to the show.

If Isabel’s translation is right then that could sort of support my theory that Jack is a time traveler himself.

It’s my belief that the ones in 1977 will go to the beach because of whatever is going to happen at the Dharma site. Also this could possibly explain what happens so that there are no more babies being born on the island also.

That was funny about Faraday being the weak thin guy Karen.

Jonathan and Richard7769- Nice to put a face to the posts!!

12 hours to go- I can’t wait. We need to start getting some answers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where have you been Moohaha???

roni -

such a good point and i totally forgot about that. daniel was the one who told dez to go there…..wonder why that wasn’t the right thing to do? maybe thats not his mom??

i feel like we are getting a lot of answers tonight…hope im not wrong.

def good to see faces with the names.

oi Jonathan, quê surpresa ! beijo pra là!

About Jack, i still believe that the scene we saw on the beggining of the pilot was not his first time on the island.

Karen, tu falas português? Isso sim é uma surpresa! De onde tu és? Já sei que moraste no Chile, mas és americana? Conheces o Brasil?

Hi everyone –

My car is cuter than I am, so you will have to look at it as my avatar!

It definitely looks as though tonight’s episode will give us some answers as far as where Daniel has been (Ann Arbor), and what he was working on there (Research for Dharma? Research for himself?).

Because of the connection between a “constant” and a “variable” I am also hoping that Desmond is around tonight, but the previews didn’t give us any scenes of his.

With so little episodes left, I really feel that we need some consistency in each week’s episodes answering the lingering questions, so that we can focus on the big picture next year!

Adam, I am 100% sure that Ms Hawking is Faradays mother. I also know who his father is, if your interested, but I think they will show us tonight anyway. I def think there was another reason for Faraday sending Desmond to visit his mother. the strange thing was that he knew excatly where she was at. I wonder if she is the one that helped the freighter people find the island as well , I’m with Roni on that he asked him to go there thinking that he would go back to 1977 with the rest of them, for some unknown reason. I mean Faraday wasn’t even there at the time, he left and has been in Ann Arbour for 3 years.wow I just contradicted myself.but I guess he asked him before he had left the island, so it could still be a possibility.

AAAAAUUUUGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can’t wait.

FIIIIIVVVEEE MINUTES AND COUNTING!!!!! LOST!!!!!

Jason- You are back!!!! Today I am on the Pacific Coast so I still have to wait a few hours.

Ross- I saw the “what did you see” clips too, but I could not tell if that was related to Lost or not.

I want to wait until the folks outside the US see the episode before I commeent, but I will say that we got some answers, but not a lot.

Hi Guys, hope you’re all doing well!

This episode was really good but a bit head wrecking. Is daniel dead? With the glassy eyes at the end and the dodgey bullet wound it looked like he was definitely dead but doesn’t he have other things to do? Like convince Chang and make the video?

I’m surprised at how messy sawyer and Juliet let things get. Sawyer is supposed to be a great con man and he and juliet have kept up cover stories and integrated themselves for 3 years but they seem to ‘forget’ to come up with a reasonable excuse for bens disappearance or figure out what to do with Phil? He came to talk to sawyer, sawyer could have spoken to him or lured him outside of dharmaville? Or SOMETHING! Punching him and stuffing him in a closet seems like the way to go if you’re looking for a quick getaway but they don’t seem like they wanted to go and they have nowhere to go!

I was a little disappointted but tonights clue-daniel comes clean with what he knows about the island. He didn’t come all that clean! And is he supposed to have been sick up until he came on the frieghter?

I think eloise might have bought into that cult obey the island thinking that the others seem to have. Remember whn Mikhail shot the girls in the looking glass? One of them said when you start questioning things it all goes wrong, he agreed and killed her. I guess asking questions is bad so you should just do what you’re told.

How come eloise is off the island? And making no attempt to get back?

Juliet seems very insecure about sawyer? I guess she feels kate is his big love and she had him while kate was gone or something. The love square thing seems to have come to an end, jack doesn’t seem interested in either juliet or kate!

I’d love to know what sawyer meant when he asked miles is he still crazy about faraday!

So i’m guessing the incident everyone refers to is the energy release at the swan? Interesting to find out that pushing the button wasn’t just a fools game.

I think we all guessed widmore wa sdaniels father a while ago, i’d love to know what happened there. How old is daniel? Should he be born in 77? We know widmore was banished for having a child with an outsider, how would eloise have left?

I assume that this is why dr chang kicked out miles and his mother? To get them to leave before disaster struck, so surely daniel will have to convinve them of it?

Also regards the beach vs the sub, i think the did mean the beach they originally crashed at. They have nowhere to go, might as well go to where they are familiar with.

Oh yeah, and someone first called it on this website about Widmore being Daniels father, so I couldnt take credit for that, but whoever it was that said it, I did agree with that person from day one

Lolo,
I would think that Ellie pushed Daniel because she knew that eventually he would save the island or the people on it. After all with out all this time travel and other knowledge he wouldn’t have been able to convince Chang to evacuate the island.
I don’t think Daniel is dead, like other people have said he still needs to create the video with Chang etc. and besides shooting somebody seems like a very bad way to try to kill someone, ex Locke shot by Ben and lived, Ben shot by Sayid and lived.
Possible spoiler,
during the previews for next week it shows Jack and co. in a place that looked similar to the temple maybe they bring Daniel there similar to what happened to Ben.

Oh Jones, good idea,

wouldn’t that be cool if they took Farady to the temple like they did with Ben and he becomes a hostile. maybe that’s the real reason why Eloise wanted Faraday to get to the island, because she was a hostile and remember what Richard said to Kate and Sawyer about Ben that he will always be one of them, so I’m assuming that if they do the same to Faraday that he will always be one of them too.

My most important question is what would happen if Daniel succeded in detonating the bomb??

Would they all skip back to 2004, or to 2008, would the plane land in LA, would Kate be in jail, would Claire, Boone, Shannon, Echo, Anna, Libby, Nikko, Paolo, Michael and Charlie all be alive? Would they have memories of the island or not. Somehow that does not ring right, and my head is spinning. I guess I need to wrap my head around this thoery.

How do you guys know that Daniel made the videos with Chang?

Ron Paul Fan, Post 63
I don’t know that it is 100% confirmed, but if you listen to the person’s voice in the background to me it is clearly Faraday.
Just in case we are not talking about the same video, I am talking about the one were Chang says that he is communicating with people 30 years in the future and says that a credible source has told him that they communicate via the internet and George W. Bush is president.

Ron Paul Fan –

Here is a link to the video that people are referring to. It was shown at a Comic Con, but many LOST sites are aware of it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCVCzplSa6A&feature=related

Here is a link to an interview with Carlton and Damon –

http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/The_Lostpedia_Interview:Carlton_Cuse_%26_Damon_Lindelof

Based on this one question and answer, it’s hard to know if Daniel is behind the camera of the Comic Con video:

Alex: Moving on to more show, or so to speak, related questions. In the special alternate reality game The Dharma Project from last year. A lot of fans want to know, since basically funding was pulled out of the Dharma project last year, what was going to be the final revelation of The Dharma Project? Since The Lost Experience was about the numbers, and Find 815 was about the fake wreckage, so, what was going to be the final act of The Dharma Project?

Damon: Essentially the whole idea was to signal to the audience that our characters: Jack and Kate and Sawyer and Hurley and Juliet and Sayid were going to end up in Dharma times, and Faraday too, sorry, and Miles of course, strongly imply that our characters were going to appear in Dharma times. So that would be something that would be sort of set up in the Internet experience. I think some people believe that they hear Faraday’s voice in the Comic-Con experience. These events are sort of partially canon but more promotional than they are canon. Giving the audience a sneak peak as to what the season is about.

OMG that video of the guy who took the video of the sneak peak is classic. I’m still laughing my butt off at him running from that show screaming “I’ve got it, I’ve got it”.

Oh that just made my day.

Thanks CanadianBeetle

what I still don’t get is why did Faraday tell Desmond his mother was at Oxford, and when he went there of course we find out he’s not there and neither is his mom, so my question is did I miss the part where Desmond found out Ms Hawking was actually in LA. How did he know where to go?

Biglostfan,

He got the address from Widmore when he went to see him after learning from Teresas sister that he had been funding Faradays research.

Widmore gave him the address and Des took off for LA

Moohaha –

I am hopeful that LOST will end in a way that gives me tears or goosebumps or both! The writers/producers have said that we the viewers, can not possibly know how it will all end, based on what we have seen up until this point.

I do worry though, as much as I love reading other fan’s thoughts, theories, and snippets that they picked up that I didn’t – am I going to be disappointed when a big climax occurs and I had already read something to the same effect?

I would imagine that there are fans (that don’t visit these sites) that gasped at the realization that Chang was Miles’ dad, and yet it has been back and forth on this site since that first scene of Chang waking up in his bed earlier this year.

I have to admit though, I thought that Daniel and Penny would be cousins.

first of all: Thank LOST for Lafleur, he is so HOTTTT !!!!!

great episode!!! excellent one, answered lots of questions! very interesting to see Daniel’s past life and the liaison of his mother and Widmore. Lady Hawking is one big awful ma’am !

however, one big question rises: how is it possible the Dan dies?? that would destroy the what happened, happened theory. Ok he did explain something about the variables and their past being their actual present, but still. that would turn the whole theory invalid…

But Karen remember that Faraday said we can all die. that they are in their present, he did make a big point to explain that. and he obviously knows whats going to happen. I hope he’s not dead but Ms Hawking sure was pissed at Widmore for making a way for Faraday to get back to the island, but remember she told Penny that she doesn’t know how things are going to go anymore. Maybe somehow Faraday has already changed the events that are going to happen.

Why Faraday was so surprised to see Jack and Co. back in 77 and so sure concerning his mother being wrong about Jack? Dis he realize that something had been changed?

Could he see flashes from the future and mind travel to the past like Desmond? Surely yes.Thats why he was crying watching the O815 crash?

Maybe he realized you cant change the past, but being them the variables in that past and being them in their present, they can change their future…

By the way, if Widmore and Hawking have blue eyes, shouldnt he have blue/green eyes too? And british accent?

Jack will be in charge from now on, and probably try to continue Dan’s plan to explode the bomb. Like already said, can they erase all the chain of events that happened and led them to the island? Isnt it the major paradox?

Are we finished with Desmond’s story? I hope not! I guess he was not been well explored this season, for he is always so great.

So Ms. Hawking always knew she was going to kill Faraday ?If he is dead…
Did she make him go to the freighter to fullfill that destiny? Or to try and change it?
She could easily avoid him from going, as he didnt want to.

I’m sorry guys but the writters just released a statement saying that Faraday is indeed dead, although we have seen people die and they either come back to life (Locke) or we see the dead again, hence Christian, Charlie, Boone, Shannon, well theres just too many.but his status has went from full time to possibly guest star.

It’s episodes like this that keep me watching! There’s a real sense of events getting dangerously out of hand and the whole situation snowballing…

Although if Faraday is now dead (and I still think we’ll still see him in flashbacks performing experiments on himself and Theresa) the way he went out was disappointingly out of character.

The Daniel Faraday I’ve been watching for the last two seasons was a mild-mannered physicist (by the way, I loved Radzynski’s line, “I’ve been shot by a physicist!”) and wouldn’t have gone strutting into The Others’ camp waving a piece around. It seems to me they were running out of episode time and had his mum kill him quickly (for the shock ending), but in a less-than-believable way.

And anyway, what about Richard Alpert? He didn’t claim to recognise Faraday when he bust into the camp, but how do you forget someone who appears in the nineteen fifties, tells you he’s from the future to defuse your H-bomb and then vanishes into thin air, especially someone as distinctive as Dan?

Jonathan, post 83. He was surprised because Jack and co left the island in the present (or future) back at 2008. While Faraday and co started time travelling. See, jack never time travelled, so quite impressive that he managed to go back in time.
My guess is Daniel was extremely upset with Charlotte’s death that he went back with the sbu and then came back – but all in being in the past.

I agree having Faraday die like that is kinda whack. I did like the episode as a whole but I could have used a bit more of the story from Faraday’s perspective. Like what he did when he was gone for three years??? WTF!!

I def need a link confirming his death Cause based on the Comic Con video (which is def him) he must still be alive.

I def thought Hawking was taking young Charlie as well. My first thought was why are you not bringing your son with you after someone tried to kill all of you???

I also think Dan is the scientist who created the pendulum thing.

This is why Ellie Killed Dan….
She knew he was going to go back and try to stop the crashing of 815. For whatever reason she wants that to happen. So Dan has to die. In my opinion her and Ben are working together to get the plane to crash. If that doesnt happen then something else (which we don’t know yet) won’t happen (possibly beneficial to ben and ellie). So 815 needs to get to that island…..Or maybe someone specific needs to get there.

Ben and Ellie are def working together. Possibly out of the hatred for Charles. To me Charles is the good guy here and based on Ben and Ellie previously working together and both of their actions they are the bad guys.

I do wonder what she meant by she doesnt know what is going to happen now

Sorry that might not all make sense

Adam, you are right.

There is something about the island , wich we dont exactly know yet , that makes people like Ellie, Ben, Widmore sacrifice even their children for…
What do they really stand for??

I ask again, is it genetically possible for Faraday to have brown eyes if both his parents have blue eyes?

heres the link guys for the writters talking about Faraday def being dead. let me know if it doesn’t work.

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/lost-producers-talk-surprising-death/21990

biglostfan,
Thanks for the link, I guess that confirms it, although I don’t like it. The only good thing left over from this is that I think Jack and Kate still have Faraday’s journal and hence possible answers (no more of the not asking questions and just going along for the ride anyway). I hope Faradays left over story is told in his journal and that the Losties can make sense of it.

Jones that’s excatly what I was thinking. that maybe the reason widmore wanted Miles to go to the island is because he knew also that Ellie was going to shoot Faraday so he brought someone that could talk to dead people like Miles , maybe it’s just a coiencidence that Doc Chang is his dad.

I cant be sure if Ms Hawkins is really evil.
Maybe she pushed Daniel so hard to study because she knew what was gonna happen to him and wanted him to have the knowledge to change it.
That scene of him on the piano, when she comes crying, maybe is in this context.
We are never sure who is good or bad.

The war Widmore mentioned to Locke.
Could it be the others x the variables?
If yes, where Locke fits in this war, once he is in another time?

Based on the article they said he wont be a full-time cast member, so that leads me to believe we will see him again but not much. Almost like Anna Lucia this season.

If ms. hawkings knows how to get to the island, i wonder why she doesnt tell Whitmore?

Greg,

young charlie is Des and Pennys son. Not Charlie from season 1 Charlie.

Ricahrd77, Richard met Faraday in the Epiosde “Jughead” from the beginning of this season

brooksj,

I think Ms Hawking wouldn’t tell Widmore where the island is because number 1 she hates him ( obvoiusly from the slap across the face she gave him), and 2 didn’t someone say that ( I think Ben ) once you leave the island you can’t come back, ( Widmore was exiled from the island ) even though Ben did, but he wasn’t told to leave by the hostiles either, and number 3 Ms Hawking knows how to get there so why does she herself not go back? I think there is something to that.

Oh my bad

Moohaha was right. Faraday did meet Richard back in 1954, remember when the others had Miles and Charlotte and Faraday in that tent and then Farady convinces Richard that he was in love with Charlotte and that he only wants to help and that he would not blow anything up because Charlotte is there. then Ellie takes Faraday to the jughead. MY bad I’m sorry I admit when I am wrong!

My point exactly.

What happened in the fifties had such a strong effect on Alpert that he’s spent the rest of his life (eternal though it may be) waiting for John Locke to be ready to come to the island and lead the others. And presumably it took an enormous effort to follow Faraday’s advice and bury Jughead in concrete (AND he told even-younger Eloise that he was from the future, which presumably she passed on to Richard).

Faraday was such an important part of this time trip I find it very hard to accept Alpert would just forget him like that (although it seems like some of you guys forgot that scene in the tent when he admits his love for Charlotte!), especially as Alpert knows that there are people from the future already on the island following his pow-wow with Sawyer/Lafleur.

Like I say, it all felt a bit rushed – even with the whole “four hours until the incident” McGuffin, Faraday would never have acted that hasty. All it’s really given us, other than Mrs Hawking’s life-long grief/evil mission, is something for Jack and Kate to do.

Faraday’s little speech about the variables, destiny and a certain hydrogen bomb was handily imparted to the crappy couple just before his mum shot him, and my guess is that now Jack will have something to “fix” to get all obsessed about again and Kate will follow him about like a puppy trying to help. Just like old times…

someone raised a good point. Widmore left the island and hasnt been able to find it ever since. if he really had wanted to, he would have come with the freighter and the expedition !
Ben and Locke both turned the wheel and left the island and as Ben said, it should have been impossible to come back. Thus, they’re both now there!

either ben lied (again) or there’s a discrepancy

Also, what’s with Henry Gale?? how come someone in a hot balloon could have crashed in the island? there haven’t been any developments to that.

- When Faraday is crying while watching the news of 0 815 crash on tv(around minute 16), his hair is really short. After Widmore knocks on the door, his hair is now long as usual. Bad continuity.

– Hawking said to Penny in the hospital that for the first time she didnt know what was going to happen. It means two things.
First, she usually can see the future, so she knows how it should be.
Second, the future was changed.

Knowing that Desmond was special, Faraday used him to change the future by speaking with him in the hatch in the past. Thats why Hawking does not know what will happen. It was not supposed to happen. In the original future, Desmond was not shot.

Desmond only got shot due to the chain of events that took place after Faraday asked him to find his mom. Thats why he was in Los Angeles .Thats why Desmond is special. He is the only one able to travel through his own timeline, so he can change it. There is no whatever happened to him. Thats why he remembered in his present that Faraday spoke to him in his past.The losties on the island flashed/traveled in time to different ages, but never in their own timelines, but in the timeline of the island, and only with their bodies, not their minds.

sorry for being that mysterious
what i mean is under what title did they present such a video ?

Acer, about the comic con video,called dharma booth video, check lospedia.
http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Dharma_booth_video

If that voice is not from Faraday, wich is unlikely, the only option i can think of is Miles. Listen again and check it out.The actor who plays Faraday once said that the video we’ve seen is only the half of it.

How did Faraday was so sure his mother was an hostile at that time? When he met her in ‘54 he might have suspected it, but he didnt seem to really know it.
Maybe when he was in Ann Arbour he found out?

well how can it be miles, we can hear him crying in the background as a baby. i am still confused about some stuff, it is clear to me that a person is a person, 1 item, so how on earth could have miles see himself as a kid?? that’s totally incoherent. it messed up the whole theory to me.

Jonathan tks for sharing that link though

I’d have to have existed back then or else I wouldn’t now…

The weirdest thing is that by wanting to erase their past, the losties will create it.

Advised by Faraday and his journal, i think Jack will try to explode Jughead, in order to destroy the swan , so all the subsequent chain of events that ended with Desmond having to enter those numbers and failing to do so wouldnt happen, so their plane would not crash.That is a major paradox, i know, cause if their plane hadnt crash they would not be there to try and stop it, but thats what they will do.

Instead , i suppose that this explosion of jughead is gonna be the incident itself , and after this incident the swan wont be destroyed, but will require that protocol of entering the numbers on the computers, wich will lead to the events that made them crash on the island.

By the way, Mr. Chang could be alive in present days, couldnt he? We dont know what happened to him. Maybe he left before the purge.

Karen, that comic con video was filmed around ‘78. I was sure it was Faraday’s voice, but he didnt seem to have time to record it. Miles is in the same time as his younger version, we know that, regardless of what believe its possible. So, if it was not Faraday, can only be Miles filming.

First off Sorry I was wrong about Faraday meeting Richard Albert in ‘54. I was completely wrong.

Second I like jonathan’s theory that Jack setting off the bomb id the reason for the protocal.

I thought Ben could go back but for whatever reason the time warp Gods or whichever didn’t let him do it. I don’t think he had a choice.

I do like the previews for the upcoming episode it looks to be great. Locke, Ben and Sayid will all be there.

Hi all. I am back. Scoppie- thanks for the laugh in post 113 about Jack having something to fix and Kate following him around like a puppy dog. Too funny.

I wonder what is going to happen to Sawyer, and where was Horrace last week????

Also, I agree with everyone that Faraday’s death was all wrong, and there is no way a “weak” “thin” guy like Daniel would go into the hostiles camp toting a gun like Dirty Harry, especially when minutes earlier he looked scared when Kate handed him the gun.

More to follow . . .

also, only 3 more episodes this season!!

Which means we are so close to finally getting the story about the damn statue, as well as finally getting to meet Jacob. (Im telling you though, I have a feeling that its gonna be Jacks grandfather.)

spoiler alert….season ending preview….spoiler

this is on yahoo.com

Lost

Season 5 finale airs Wednesday, 5/13 at 9pm ET on ABC
Charles Widmore told John Locke that a war would take place on the island, and that if John didn’t return, the wrong side was going to win. We’re still a little unclear on who — and when — the sides will be (Hostiles vs. Dharma; Oceanic 6 vs. creepy Ajira survivors; Smokey vs. everyone), but it’s clear that tensions are mounting all over, and will probably culminate in at least one shocking season-ending death. Other intriguing tidbits: The finale will introduce us to Jacob, the island’s spiritual leader, and we’ll see a wedding that takes place off-island. Thump!

One more thing. Has Juliette moved up on the death list with the weepy sad my life is over look she had in this episode??? I remember back in Season 3 in Juliette’s back story that when she came to the Island Harper (I think) or someone said that she looked “just like her.” Is the “her” possibly an aged Juliette in that picture of the blond woman in Ben’s fathers house, which Ben eventually had? We have never gotten an explanation about that comment (among other things), so it may mean that there is more story for Juliette so she may go forward in time and is thus safe. Or, is that a picture of Ben’s mom and has nothing to do with Juliette?? If Juliette is safe is Sawyer higher in the list?? I hope not- He is too cute to be killed. I guess I want to know who gets bumped off next.

Last thing, where is C.P.L., Wolowitz and Jason??? Any insights on this episode? 3 days to go!!!!!

I have been soooo busy these past few weeks…trust me….I feel like I’m left out of all the good conversation that has been going on around here. Also…I bought a sailboat so I have been sailing on my spare time…I know…TMI. But I LOOOOVVVE SAILING!

I agree….juliette is a gonner!….no doubt…and they have eluded to this in this episode with a slight rift in the happy home of her and her man when her man called Kate Freckles……

i do have so many different insights now….its kind of difficult to get them all out…. But for some reason three episodes ago something clicked that….DAMN….I REALLLLLLYYY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!! LOL.

I really think Adam you are on to something with Daniel possible not being the one to die…. With that being said….. he has left a book behind and for all we know it could be Jack who comes up with the idea of the pendulum with the help of the journel.

Hello All. From the link posted in post #69 Carlton says:
“…we accept the fact that in the end of the day there will, probably, you could ask a spectrum of a thousand different fans “Well what question did you not get answered?” and there might be a thousand different answers, but we are focusing on what we consider to be the main questions of the show and the main narrative. It’s impossible to tie up every loose end, and we don’t really consider, honestly…For us, the focus of the final season really has to be on the main characters and what would generally be acknowledged as the most significant mysteries.”

So personally I’m not expecting I’ll get all my queries answered after this show is over, as to be very true, they cannot tie up all the loose ends. Side effect of the ever thrilling episodes we’ve been getting from them, I guess. They have made it so mysterious, that its even impossible for themselves to solve everything, keeping up the same standard of the show.

Totallylost and Adam,

I agree, Ive been saying it for weeks that I think Juliette is done. And yeah, when Sawyer called Kate freckles, in front of Juliette, he fucked up….and he knows it.

Jason,
I’m with you,just when I think I have it figured out, I realize that I really have no idea whats going on. I have been going back and watching some of the past episodes( they play them on scifi channel and G4, here in the US)and its cool cause I’m reminded of things that I had forgotten. At first I thought this would help, but I soon found it only raises more questions and usually debunkes my theories!

But watching these past episodes I realized they have been so focused on showing us the little things that we forget about the bigger picture here sometimes.Like WHY IS ALL THIS STUFF HAPPENING. I’m really beginning to think that this is all some elabrate live action Chess Game.

Oh and the scene with Faraday crying in front of the TV, I think because he said he was sorry about Theresa and said that he had tested his time machine thingiee on himself first that it explained why his memory had gone bad, I bet somehow he traveled to the future, I mean when Desond met him at oxford he basically helped him with the correct formula and told him somewhat about the future, so after Desmonds visit he had some sort of incline about the future events that were going to happen. Perhaps Desmond had been his constant for longer than we realize. Still haven’t figured out why he called the mouse Eloise, after his mother? is there some sort of connection there with the time traveling thing.

My bet is that Jack and Kate get Faradays Journal, read it and makes sure that Doc Candle sees it and he begins to do experiments to create the time machine. Or perhaps young hostile Eloise gets a hold of the Journal, reads it and this is how she knows whats going to happen in the future. Which makes sense after what she said to Penny in the hospital about this is the first time in a long time that she doesn’t know whats going to happen next–because Faradays Journal only went to as far as he knew. does this make sense to anyone.

Hi again,
I posted a few comments suggestions at 134 but so far not a single comment in response. This is not the first time this has happened either.
It feels like only comments from an inner circle of contributors are worthy of acknowledgment.
I am particularly keen to hear any views re my Adam and Eve suggestion.
