THIS BLOG HAS MOVED!

Yes, it is true. And a little bit sad, but not really.

You can read all of my LOST-theories, and some other theories, among other things, at my BRAND NEW WEBSITE!
It’s filled with AWESOMENESS! (You’ll find all TV-related things under “TV-Time” )

LOST Rewatch: S1 E7 – The Moth

Then we’re off again! First off; this is an alarmingly relaxed episode. It’s really something. There are probably much to get here on the real story behind it,  but I just can’t do that today. It’s just annoying. And I’ve probably already done it with so many other episodes so you know what; Today I haven’t watched as I’m theorizing. I’ve watched it as the great entertainment and fun this really is. The Charlie episodes are my favorites. I love Charlie. He’s probably my main dude, the one I feel sorry for and can compell to. I’m a boy (obviously, would a girl do this on her spare time?) but still, I cried at the end of Season 3 when Charlie died. I get why he died; the new storyarc couldn’t make him fit, and I love how he died; it was heroic and nice. So, I’ve always felt that he died in a good way.

Second off: Charlie’s life problems is really cool and emotional. His brotherly problems, drug problems and the fact that he is now a Moth: ready to face his destiny. And then it’s time to talk about favorite characters.

My favorite characters are Desmond, Charlie, Daniel Faraday and John Locke. I like all of the characters, but these are the ones I really love…

And now, to my departness… I’ve known this would be coming, but I really can’t do this anymore. I’m signing off the Lost Rewatch. There, I’ve said it. Episode 7 of Season 1 is the last episode I’m Rewatching and posting here. And do NOT misunderstand me; I WILL continue to rewatch LOST. I’ll do it fast, and you won’t see these kinda posts for every episode. You’ll see them for 10 episodes, or when I get an idea or a theory. Earlier I’ve said that I’m going to use the Rewatch to make my own theories and use the facts to build them up, and that is what I’m going to do. I’ll be back with new theories and new posts the whole year until the final season of LOST begins in January. Then I’ll continue with these “1 post, 1 episode”-thingies. Otherwhise I wouldn’t survive the summer. Or the rest of the year.

See you later LOSTies! And please, follow my new blog where I’ll talk about large things and little things. Like the books/comics I read, what I can’t wait for, the movies I’m watching and finally all the news that will arrive. Have a blast!

WatchingPreacher Out!

LOST Rewatch: S1 E6: House of the Rising Sun

Okay, let us begin. Again, we are on the great and still mysterious Island. And again, the series is REALLY character driven. There isn’t much story going on, besides “How are we going to survive?”. Then we got the polar bear that everyone had forgotten about, and now “Our very own Adam and Eve” as Locke says. I’ve waited with the whole “Move to the caves”-issue till this post, because it’s more discussed and a great storyline in this episode. This was also the episode I started liking Sun and Jin. I hated them, they were really annoying in the first episodes, but with their backstory I couldn’t resist. And neither could you. We also got some nice love-moments, and a great ending to the episode with a song in which the lyrics was “Are you sure this is where you want to be?”, thus discussing both the Island and the caves/beach topic. GREAT!

Then, there are all the tons of shit I’ve forgotten. Like all of the LOL-moments LOST had at its beginning. All the fun comments, and us getting to know and love these characters. It really was that great! Anyway, this episode begins with Jin attacking Michael and almost beating him to death right in front of Walt. Later we found out that it was because of the watch that Michael found while searching for things in the wreckage. And now to my completely dump theory of the day. I repeat; This one is ALL FOR FUN! It probably has no basis in reality whatsoever!

Here is is; Michael gets beaten by Jin because of the Watch he finds among the wreckage. Now, is this a hint that Michael partly causes Time to be beaten up in the Season 4/5? Probably not. I said this one came from nowhere.

Anyway, in this post I won’t theorize. This time I just said to myself; Enjoy. Because I knew that this was one of the episodes that were made to progress the story more onward. Though, there are much that I could have talked about here; Charlie’s tattoo and drug problem, but I’ve chosen to wait with those till the next episode. I will, however, show you an image of the scene with John Locke and Charlie. It’s one of the things I remembered a long time after this one, and I think it’s fabulous.

Locke: Look up, Charlie. Charlie: This isn't where you tell me to pray? Locke: Look up! (points)

Then, we arrive at the final part of my new theory-recap of the sixth episode. I have to talk about Inside Jokes, Adam and Eve and maybe also bees. I’ll do it fast. First, Charlie jokes about Kate and Jack having an “inside joke” about Jack’s tattoo’s, which we will learn the true meaning of in Season 3. But the thing is, I really love Kate and Jack’s place in the sun before Sawyer and/or Juliet arrives and fucks it all up. I still think these are the two people that really needs to get together and STAY that way! Now, I’ve been wrong before. I spent the whole second and third season telling everybody that Claire and Charlie had to become special friends. I was wrong. Charlie died a heroic, yet tragic death and Claire disappeared. Oh, sweet love. Anyway, we’ll see what happens. Maybe there really is an alternate timeline where everyone’s having a ball and Claire and Charlie, Jack and Kate and Sawyer and Juliet are all girlfriends/boyfriends? Ahh, I hope so.

Then to Adam and Eve. I’m so tired of discussing this topic. I think it’s BULLSHIT! Of course I want to know who it is, but I really think that the writers are going to surprise us no matter what we think. Want my opinion? It’s Rose and Bernard. They died in the season 5 finale, and the Others or someone else put them there. Want to know what I really think? It’s Jacob and his Girlfriend. JUST KIDDING! It’s Charlie and Claire. Charlie’s dead and Claire was on the Island during the time jumps. We haven’t got her story, but it is them. Charlie’s going to show up in 1977 and then Claire is left behind. They have sex and eventually die. I want it to be them. But I know it doesn’t make sense. As Jack says, it takes 40 or 50 years for clothes to dry up like this. And that excludes everyone in 1977. They were there before that. I have no idea. The writers have something really interesting going on here, and I can’t wait to see what the answer is. But to discuss it? I’ve spent over 5 days discussing ONLY this topic. I can’t take it anymore. I’m done. Give me the answer NOW!

Till next time, Namaste and Good Luck!

LOST Rewatch: S1 E5: White Rabbit

LOST

And then we’re off again. I’m sorry that my posts seems to pop out four in one day, but I’m only one person and I’ve just begun rewatching the series after a schedual, and sometimes I forget. I promise that by the end of this week, I will begin to do things more often so you won’t have to read four posts in one day. It’s hell writing these too, especially more than two in one day But now, off to the Jack-centered episode named White Rabbit, and what a name it is!

First off, this episode is really what kept me going the first time I watched LOST. You see, I didn’t watch it on TV, it was ALL DVD for me! I bought the first season, and then I started watching. But it didn’t make me extremely interested. Till the fourth episode, Walkabout, which had to do with Locke. That really kept me going. And when I saw White Rabbit, I couldn’t resist. The rest went in 2 days.

This episode opens with an eye, just as the pilot. It’ Jack’s eye, from when he was a young kid. I’m not going to talk about Jack’s father figures, or how fucked-up his life was. I’ll leave that till “All the best Cowboys have Daddy Issues”. That one is still one of my favorites. Anywayl, in White Rabbit we get to watch all of the trouble poor Jack had with his father, Christian. We also got to know the identity of the mysterious guy walking aroung on the Island in Walkabout, the guy only Jack saw. It’s his father, Christian. Then we got to know he is dead. Then Jack found the empty coffin. So, where the HELL is his body? Hmm. I can’t remember, but I know that Christian is truly dead – Damon Lindelof has even told us in one of the LOST Podcasts. So, Christian is probably someone that tries to dupe Jack. Or he’s a version of Jacob. Or it’s the Smoke Monster. We don’t know, but I assume that we will get some answers, and pretty fast in season 6. In the mean time; Roll the theories!

Yes, I have another theory. This one, I name
The TP Theory!
Yes, it has to do with Twin Peaks, one of the best TV-shows the world has ever seen. If you haven’t watched Twin Peaks, skip this section. If there’s one spoiler you don’t want, it’s from Twin Peaks! Now, off to my theory. Twin Peaks starts with the murder of Laura Palmer and develops to a great battle between Good and Evil, where in the last episode ever produced, Evil seems to have won. (This is probably because it was cancelled, but fuck that=) LOST started with a plane crash and eventually ends up with a great battle between two sides. (We do not know if it is Good and Evil yet, but who cares=) In Twin Peaks, we have spirits, visions of people you never have seen before and weird places where you can talk with dead people. That you also have in LOST. Dead People is walking around all the time, hence Locke, Christian, etc. We have weird places where you can talk with mysterious people, as Jacob’s Cabin, and we have spirits like The Smoke Monster. The only thing missing is the Black and White Lodge. But wait! We have those too! Foot of the statue is White = White Lodge. Jacob’s Cabin is black = Black Lodge? Someone has indeed watched Twin Peaks, and loved it! The only sad part of this is that LOST is better than Twin Peaks. Mostly because it will end. We will have the whole story. In Twin Peaks, it ends rather brutally, leaving you wanting more. If Twin Peaks had continued and finished its story, we would have one of the best shows on Earth. But as of now, LOST beats it. Not until the Fifth season, though.

Further down in my research, Doc Jensen stumbled over this site which I now will direct you to; This one lets you read about all of the things LOST and Land of the Lost has in common. It’s a good read, and I have to watch Land of the Lost now. The original, not the Will Ferrel-remake. Though, I’ll probably watch that too. Here the link is, anyway; LOTL/LOST

Alice in Wonderland – White Rabbit

There are just two topics left of this one, now. We have to talk about Alice in Wonderland, then about Locke. But first Alice in Wonderland! Locke says to Jack, replying to Jack’s comment; “I’m chasing something. Or someone”. Locke says; “Ahh. The White Rabbit”, to which Jack replies “Yes. The white rabbit, in other words that I don’t know if it’s real or not”. Or something like that, I don’t remember the whole comment. And, as Locke also tells Jack that “You need to finish what you started”, he follows the white rabbit that has lead him to the Island. Don’t see it? Well, Christian went off to Austrailia to visit Claire, as an episode in season 3 if I remember correctly. Jack follows him, in an attempt to get him back home. Jack then finds his dad eventually, but he’s dead. Jack travels with him back to L.A. (or atleast tries), and ends up in Wonderland. Sorry, the Island, a place of mystery and miracles.

Then, something completely different. Relationships. Every relationship on the Island moves forward in this episode, even their relationship with the Island. Shannon and Boone, Charlie and Claire – everybody. This episode also reminded me about how much I deeply and fully HATE Shannon and Boone; they are annoying, fucked-up bitches that I’ve never cared about. Although I was a little moved when they died.

Locke

In this episode, Locke is beginning to talk about the powers of the Island, and his quest for redemption and his search for answers have begun. As he says, he’s seen into the eye of the Island – And what he saw there was beautiful. Well, maybe we’ll think it’s beautiful too, when we see it by the end of season 6. I really hope so. And then, I want two miniseries – “Dharma” and “Locke”. “Dharma” explores everything about Hanso and the Island while they were there, and “Locke” explores the alternate timeline that they MAY have created. Both would have been fun. I’m not ready to let go of any of the characters on the Island yet. Not in a million years!

And that’s it! See you later, with Sun and Jin in my theory-filled House of Rising Sun. I can’t remember if anything really significant happens in that episode, but I shall find out! But before that, I’m getting some tea. Or Coke. Something to drink while I watch the great 6th episode of LOST. Did I mention that I’m not particulary happy with Sun and Jin? I always thought they were dumb. Until they start speaking english. Now, I love them!

My last word on this episode is actually a quote, it’s from Claire and it was freakin’ hilarious when I watched this episode. So, here it is: “People look at me as if I’m a ticking bomb of responsibility just waiting to go off.”

LOST Rewatch: S1 E4: Walkabout

“Well, you’re not getting rid of me that easy” It’s the line said to Rose by Jack, one of the main dude’s of LOST. And he couldn’t be more right. About the show, himself (the fact that he’s travelled on the Island, off the Island, in Time, and has eventually ended up meeting Rose everyewhere he goes) Kate, Locke (Death isn’t a problem – Just be Taken control of by some mysterious guy!), and everyone/everything else on the show. With that, the new post about the LOST Rewatch have started, and oh boy, we have a lot of ground to cover!

Soo. What happens?

Walkabout is the first episode in which we meet Locke fully for the first time. He is fucked up, miserablea and has anger problems – Again like Anakin in Star Wars – Episode I & II. We also start with some humor on LOST now. In my oppinion, Rose has always been hysterically sarcastic and insanely funny! We get a little backstory on Rose and her husband, Bernard, and a scene where Locke – plays RISK. May this be one of the first signs that he’s just a piece in a game or that someone is playing a difficult and complex game through him? Another thing that moves on in this episode is Michael and Sun’s relationship, Sayids plan and Sawyers awkardness. Claire and Charlie also begins taking control over their situation.

The Season 5 Finale Again…!

“They come, they fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same.” “It only ends once. Everything else is just progress.” Oh, yeah! The first words in the season 5 finale episode “The Incident”. I have said that I wasn’t through with that episode before, but now is the time to move a little further!

The first words on LOST uttered by the Mysterious Man in Black that may actually forshadow all of LOST’s six and final season. We’ve seen the Oceanic-survivors come. They’ve fought against the Others, Rousseau, each other, Polar Bears and a hell of a lot more! We’ve seen them when they have destroyed things; Locke destroys submarine and Hatch, Jack and Juliet activates bomb, they’ve destroyed each others emotions, weapons, trust, everything that comes their way. They’ve even manage to destroy parts of the GREAT PLAN and their destiny! Of course, this was fixed very shortly after by Ben, Jack and Jeremy Bentham aka John Locke. Just as Rose said in the Season 5 finale: “We’ve travelled 30 years back in time, and you’re STILL finding ways to kill each other on!” No one could have said it better. Wondered what actually happened to them when the bomb went off, and the rest probably travelled in time, and causing the Incident… Hmm, maybe they are the “Adam and Eve” skeletons… Anyway, let’s move on. We’ve now arrived at the corruption. And as I read that, I thought; Hey, they haven’t corrupted anything! Well, when I think about it, actually they have. They’ve corrupted The Others, The Dharma Initiative, Themselves (Michael’s treachery in the last episodes of Season 2) and then they’ve been corrupted. So, rule that one out. The only thing that conversation doesn’t give an answer to is, How does it end? And why doesn’t it do that? Because that would mean that they’ve spoiled the whole sixth season! LOST starts off in the modern world. Why? If it had jumped from the crash of The Black Rock and Oceanic Air Flight 815, or been just about The Black Rock-survivors, we still would have seen the mysteries on the Island. Maybe not so much, but still! It would eventually become the same show. So, why do we follow the Oceanic Air-catastrophe so closely? Because, as Jacob said, “It only ends once. Everything else is just progress.” We are to witness the final, last and inevitable end of it all. We are to see how it ALL ends, not just the story of how some people’s life on the Island is. So, if the ending had been told in that conversation, we still wouldn’t know the ending. Because the final ending may be different than all the other endings. Still want to hear how it all ends? Well, it has already ended. Think about it; we are to witness the FINAL end. That said, it has already ended. But the FINAL END hasn’t ended yet. It’s just begun. But it has ended… Like all of the other “crashed on THE Island”-stories usually ends; Death.

The Black Rock – All of them died. We don’t know how, but they’ve all died, except (maybe) Ricardos Alpert(os?)
Danielle Rousseau’s science expedition – They were all killed by Smokie (to stop them from interfering with The Man in Black’s master plan…?)
Yemi’s Plane – They all died (Also here, we do not know what happened – But Mr. Eko managed to do everything on the list, if I remember correctly.)
Air Balloon – Henry Gale, the owner, Died (The question is, did he manage to do something on the list? Or did Benjamin Linus do it for him…?)
Elizabeth – Desmond’s boat, ended with the death of Kelvin (And Desmond corrupted The Hatch, fought Kelvin and eventually killed Kelvin, thus ending the circle)
Naomi’s Helicopter – This was in season 3. She did it all – Arrived, fought with the wounds and verbally, corrupted the mind of Desmond, making him believe she came on Penelope’s bill, then died)

And finally…. The Ajira Airways 316! That plane made it possible for the Oceanic-survivors to travel back in time and destroying an atom bomb, infiltrating and corrupting the Others (The Man in Black) and oh boy, they did fight with each other, the Dharma Initiative and now the Others will fight on Jacob’s side against the mysterious Man in Black! Remember that this crash has already ended with death; Jacob’s. The final and last end begins when the Oceanic-survivors from 1977 arrives in present time. And they will destroy The Man in Black, fight along with the Others, corrupt the Loop-Hole and finally, end it with the Death of the mysterious Man in Black. Which brings me to another thing; maybe the theory with a new timeline is true after all… Maybe that’s what they’ve corrupted? The original timeline? Anyway, now you know this theory. Enough about the end of LOST – it makes me sad just thinking about it. Let’s move on to Smokie, Locke and Jack!

Smokie, Locke and Jack

This is the first episode where someone actually sees the Monster aka Smokie. And if Smokie can appear as people, then both Jack and Locke have seen it. But only Locke has seen it’s true face. That is, if Smokies true face isn’t the Man in Black, of course. But something makes me believe that the Man in Black has the same control over Smokie that Ben had; He can only summon it. Again, maybe the Man in Black has a little more control over it. I don’t know, and I really don’t want to! The fun thing about this is that when Locke sees the smoke monster, nothing happens. We don’t really know what’s happening. Maybe he is judged? Maybe he learns to control it? Or maybe Smokie and the Man in Black already have started to take control over him? Now, the LOSTPEDIA blog, which you can read HERE, theorises that maybe Locke didn’t see the black Smoke Monster that we all have grown up with, but something else entirely? Either way, he denies it when Michael asks about it, but WE know he saw something. The question is, what? Well, we could ravel on about that for HOURS; it’s much more fun to theorize a little again!

Jack talks with Kate – Jack sees dead father – Dead father enters jungle – Jack runs into Jungle, Kate follows, no one’s there… (Fanfare); Locke steps out!

We know that Locke has met Smokie by now, or atleast seen The Smoke Monster, but is it possible that he is dead already? No, it is not. His body isn’t found before Season 5, in the Ajira Airways-Plane. But maybe the smoke monster already has taken control over bits and pieces? Like Lord Palpatine gradually takes control over Anakin’s will, making him do things that helps his choice about moving over to the dark side… And that again comes back to LOST being a story kinda like Star Wars. But in all large, epic stories about good vs. evil, you have some version of this scenario, right? Anyway, I really enjoy the last part of this episode, where Locke looks on his (almost) burning wheelchair and smiles. He has been granted a huge favor, by the Islands healing powers. But is it really the Island? All of his anger problems ends with his power to walk once again, but is this really a good thing? It makes him mad, and not only that, he also begins to be fanatic about the Island, their destiny and so on. I think the Smoke Monster or the Mysterious Man in Black (we have yet to find out wether he is the Smoke Monster or another being) gave him the power to walk once again, for it was needed so he could believe in the Islands powers and, ultimately, seal his own destiny in a large and complex Risk-game, where his role is as a Colonel, or a guy that’s operating under orders from a general. Now, this general is probably the Man in Black. And so goes the theory!

Until next time, folks, where we will dwell further into the Islands mysteries. But now, just at the end, a little notice about Fringe; they have these “next episode clues”, remember? Well, maybe it was just a clue so that we could do the same thing with LOST? It is funny, how these shows keep having things in common! See you later, Aligator-Headed-Giant-Human-That-We-Originally-Thought-Was-Anubis!

LOST Rewatch: S1 E3: Tabula Rasa

Yes, then we are off to the second post of the LOST Rewatch, and the third episode. As the Pilot-episode is much on introducing the characters, and making Jack the “main dude”, we know learn a little more about Kate. How did she get on the plane? What kinda character is she? Are she really a bad criminal? Well, all of these questions we know the answer to, so I’m not going to talk about that. I’m going to talk about some of the fun things!

Firstly, I noticed something cool. In Season 4/5 we learn about the Oceanic 6 and their lie for saving everyone on the Island. Well, that’s not the first time a group has lied to “save someone” on LOST. The hiking group, in which we have Sawyer, Sayid, Kate, Charlie, Shannon and Boon (yes, that makes six) lie about the radio transmission to save the survivors from losing their hope. Now, is that just a coincidence, or what?

Anyway, in this episode we see a little more of Locke, before the episode “Walkabout” is entirely about him. Hmm, fun fun. And when we talk about Locke, let’s talk a little about John Locke – The philosopher. It is he who has the Tabula Rasa-idea, that (this is taken from Wikipedia) “Tabula rasa (Latin: blank slate) refers to the epistemological thesis that individuals are born without built-in mental content and that their knowledge comes from experience and perception.” And this is exactly what the episode is about; A fresh start. It may also be a clue that the next episode will be about Locke. And it probably is a clue also. Now, I’ll return to the Island since I’m a little bit off the LOST Rewatch schedual, which you can find HERE!

Then I’ll return to the Island! I’ll be back later today or tomorrow to talk about the third episode of the first season; Walkabout.

LOST Rewatch: The Pilot Part I & II

Hello. Then we’re off to rewatch all of LOST 103 hours, which will end when the Sixth and Final season begins its run on ABC January 2010. It’s a long road to redemption, eh?

In these posts, I will cover everything that seems important. I will use these episodes to make new theories, and I won’t sum them up. On LOST and Found – It’s theory time!

So… The Pilot. It is wonderful, I must say that. And we will start with the line “We have to go back”. Remember that one, from the end of the third sesason? Well, here it is again. but now it’s Kate’s line, telling Charlie that they have to go back for Jack. Interesting, as their “go back” will eventually mean back to the Island and the other people that was left behind.

The Pilot continues, and we see Locke, and the first clues of his ”specialties” arrive. The fun thing about this is that we also see the clues that his tale is much like Anakin’s tale in Star Wars, and hence the ”2 sides, black and white” scene with Walt, and the Anakin scar on his face. See? We’ll get back to this one.

And now, we also see the great polar bear. It’s this one;

Now, this one just looks stupid. Right 'mate?

Not this one, which actually is the original.

Looks really terrifying! Right dude?

I kind of liked the original better. It looked more… I don’t know. Real. Or not. At least we could have laughed more. Anyway, we now know where these mysterious polar bears originally came from; The Dharma Initiative brought them to the Island to perform certain experiments. Once more, what we first thought was something supernatural, explained with science. In other words, nothing supernatural about this one. But all this talk about supernatural things brings us to Walt, which might just be the real “chosen one”, and thus the true leaders of The Others. And so on to the Star Wars-theory, and the Locke/Walt scene with the backgammon.
What’s poetic about the scene with Walt and Locke in the Pilot is that in Backgammon, you have black and white (or good and evil). And as we now know that Locke is the bad guy (but he’s white), then is Walt the good, black guy? Hmm. The writers have promised us that we will see more of Walt (haven’t they?), and my theory is that he may be coming back to the Island with Desmond and Penelope, or with another plane. Actually, another plane is more likely, when you think of the Islands thing for repeat. (Remember, the Oceanic 6 – Ajira 316) But what I don’t understand is how his character’s life will move forward. I mean, he’s living with his grandmother. Will she die? What will happen to him so he can get back to the Island? And then the final question: Is his story done? Is it the tragic story we’ve been witnessed to in ”The Life and Death of Jeremy Bentham” and the Michael-episode in Season 3? Or is it more to Walt’s story with the Island? Personally, I think that Walt is not done with the Island at all. The Island and LOST has been all about destiny; that will mean that Walt’s purpose on the Island was to set in motion all of the things that has happened. And he actually has! Without Michael’s urge to get Walt from the Others, none of this would probably have happened! Or not. Since Locke would stop pushing the button either way, and then it would have happened anyway. So, what is their destiny? Hmm. Maybe we’ll talk more about Walt and Michael in the following episodes. Now, onto the Locke = Anakin theory!

Locke’s fate is kinda like Anakin’s. He is “the chosen one”, but what does this mean? In Star Wars, it’s said that Anakin is to bring balance the Force, which he does. He goes over to the Dark Side, and becomes a sith. There can only be 2 Siths at one time, and thus he brings balance to the force. Locke’s fate? He is the loophole. He is really the good guy, but then he dies (Anakin didn’t – He went over to the Dark Side instead. Death is kinda like the Dark Side, ain’t it?) and becomes the tool of evil. Anakin is also the Tool of Evil. And what’s funny is this image:

Notice the Anakin-like scar?

Notice the Anakin-like scar? Well, sure I did! That brought me to the mentionted theory above!

And we’re moving on. To Rousseau’s distress call that’s been airing in 16 years. To the 48 survivors. And to the Numbers, that keeps popping up even before we knew of their existence.

And then on to the brilliant pun line of Pilot Part II: “Guys, where are we?”, said by Charlie when they hear the distress call. The first flashbacks, that only are taking place in the plane. Little do we know that most of the story is being told in flashbacks. But that gets clearer in the next episodes.

Then off to The mysterious Vincent. All from the beginning, something is scary and mystifying about him. But what’s the deal? No clues have been delivered. Yet.

The Marshall, who is waking up in this episode and searching desperately for someone/something. Hmm. May this be the first loophole indication?

Sawyer is getting closer to Kate, Boone and Shannon are arguing to hell and back, the monster that “killed them all”, and the LOST show that starts out almost like a horror movie in the jungle and turns into a time-travelling show. We’ve certainly gone a long way since the first season!

So, that was the Pilot Rewatched! Can’t wait to see you later, when I’m rewatcing Tabula Rasa! It will be fun!

LOST – Good or Bad?

Before we begin again, I would just like to tell you that from this post on, we will again watch LOST from the beginning. It’s called The LOST Rewatch, and you can read about it here!

Now, we will talk about who’s good and bad in LOST and why.

I am going to assume that Jacob is good and The Man in Black is bad. So…

GOOD:

Jacob
The Others
Ilana and the rest of the 316-fellows
Faraday’s Mother

BAD:
The Man in Black
Charles Widmore

NO KNOWLEDGE:

Most of the people on Ajira Airways 316 and Oceanic Air 815.

And that was it.

Proof that Charles Widmore is bad? Well, he told Locke to get back on the Island, because “There’s a war coming. And if you’re not on the Island when it’s on, the wrong side is gonna win”. So… The returning of Locke to the Island, was that good or bad? The sending of Faraday and all the others, was that good or bad? The people that worked for Jacob said to Miles in “Some Like it Hoth” that he shouldn’t take the job on the Island for Charles Widmore. Charles Widmore and Benjamin Linus is on opposite sides. And Benjamin is with the Others. Am I right or am I right? Well, smell you later, where we will talk about The Pilot! This’ll be FUN!

LOST S5 E16/17

First off: It was epic. That last scene? INCREDIBLE! And the white LOST logo? GREAT! It was all rather new. Can’t wait till new season!

Surprises

The thing about LOST is that, now as season 5 has ended, this is going to be the number 1 topic of discussion of LOSTies. We cannot get a clear answer, because this has never happened in the real world. And if it had happened, we would still not be guaranteed that was what happened on the show. (And teqniqually, as one of my friends pointed out, if it had happened in reality and changed the future, we wouldn’t know now, would we?) Because if it is something that Damon Lindelof and the other writers of LOST can do, it is to surprise. They are the masters of surprise.

The Incident

The last scene in the fifth season of LOST, opened a lot of questions and new storylines. For example, all of season 5 have been building up to this point. We do not know what is going to happen. We do not know if the Whatever Happened, Happened theory is right, and that the LOSTies in 1977 have helped build the future that have always been. We do not know if the Variables theory is right, and we have a whole new timeline now. Either way, Jacob is sentral in the new season. And, I’m coming to that.

Now, at the end of the fifth season we finally found out WHY we haven’t gotten to know so much about The Incident; If we knew too much, that last scene wouldn’t have worked out. If we already knew that “The Incident is that the Dharma Initiative drilled to far into the ground, and then some guys came out of the jungle, there was a gunfight and a nuclear bomb eventually went off”, that last scene wouldn’t have been exciting at all. But, as we’ve never really known what the incident was, only that it lead to the numbers and the button (which we still don’t know the meaning of) that last scene in the fifth season is VERY exciting!

In the last scene, the bomb goes off. I’m pretty sure of this.

In the end of the episode, before LOST shows, you can clearly hear a bang. Or?

Jacob, Esau/Locke and Ben

Yes. Then, off to Jacob. Did you notice that touch in all of the flashbacks? I certainly did! And Doc Jensen has some interesting theories of this. One is the Harry Potter/Malacrux theory. Jacob left a little of his soul in each of the characters, so that they could bring Jacob back after his death. Another theory is that they now can live after the nuke, and that they will be VERY important. (I like to think they’re chosen) And hereby, we come on to Locke and Jacob, and the mysterious guy in black which we will call Voldemort. Or Chris. We’ll call him Chris. (Just kidding, actually we’ll call him Esau, but that’s not because I think it is his brother. I’ll come back to that.)

But before we move onto the great What/Who is Esau?-thingie, we will talk more about…That last image in the season finale. Yep, the white LOST logo. It’s important, dont’t ya think? Well, atleast I think. And it is very significant that it was a WHITE flash. Because what happened the last time there was tons of white flashes on the Island? Yep, Time-Travelling. Hence the “They’re Coming”-quote from Jacob that pissed pretending-Locke off. Big time.

Anger leads to people breaking rules?

And then, yet another mistake(?) LOST just made. OK, it was cool enough to watch pretending-Locke kick Jacob into the fire because he was pissed, but still. It doesn’t work out. Like some-guy-on-the-internet-which-I-can’t-find-again says in his theories of the finale, maybe whole of LOST is like the epic story of The Sandman by Neil Gaiman, which really is about the life and death (murder?) of the Sandman aka Morpheus, which is orchastrated by another one of the Endless (?) because of the Rules that the Endless cannot kill each other (hence the Locke/Esau quote “You do not have any idea what I’ve been going through to get here…”)  Now, it seems that these rules are on the Island also, since Esau is talking about a loophole to kill Jacob, which means that he finally found that loophole, since the season ends with the death of Jacob. But what is the loophole? It seems to be Ben, but is it really him? Hmm, that theory will be discussed. But now, back to the thing about Locke and Esau. And when we talk about that, the thing about Esau telling Richard through Locke that he needed to say that original-Locke had to die so that Esau could take over his body and thus use the loophole! Whew, long sentence that one…! But further on: If Esau needed a loophole to kill Jacob, what is the deal with the fire…? Now, you don’t know what I’m talking about? Need explanation? Well, read on, matie!

In the final scene with Ben, Jacob and Esau/Locke. Ben asks: “What was it that was so wrong about me?” Then, Jacob answers: “What about you? And here, the thing about Ben lies: What does he actually know about the things that is going on with Jacob and Esau? And this is important, because if he knows what is going on, then the whole scene with him and Jacob were just acting. Wait a second now! Does that sound like Ben back in business or what!?

And here we again start with a little theorizing; What was the deal with Esau/Locke’s last act; kicking Jacob into the fire. Doesn’t that means his breaking the rules? Because Jacob wouldn’t necessarily have died of the stabs delivered to him by our dear friend Benjamin Linus. He could still have been rescued. And this means that Esau broke the rules, and thus needs to be punished. And who is the punisher? We got to know that in the Dead is Dead-episode, episode 12 of Season 5, where Benjamin Linus went to be judged by… The smoke monster! And then we are soon off to my great Sandman-theory again.

The big, great Sandman-Theory of LOST

Earlier in this post, I said part of my(and part the-guy-on-the-internet-which-I-can’t-find who made me think) theory of LOST being another, Island version of Neil Gaiman’s great epic tale about Dream of the Endless’ death in his comic book series The Sandman. Now, as I’ve told you before, the story is about the life and death (murder?) of the Sandman aka Morpheus, which is orchastrated by another one of the Endless (?) because of the Rules that the Endless cannot kill each other (hence the Locke/Esau quote “You do not have any idea what I’ve been going through to get here…”)

But that is not all of the tale. You see, Dream of the Endless has killed his son, Orpheus and this is something that stands against the rules, and thus, Morpheus aka Dream needs to be judged. This story begins in the ninth volume, named The Kindly Ones. Now, the thing that is fascinating about that volume is that it takes all of the information that Gaiman has given us in the past eight volumes, and then he makes ALL OF IT equally important. All of the storylines, characters and events are in that volume. We have met all of the people in that volume before. Shortly, this is what it really is about. Now, that is the exact same point that LOST has come unto now; It’s time to figure out what the story really is about. And it’s really about Jacob and his war against the Man in Black aka Esau/Locke.

That is the story we will get to know in the sixth season. But something is different from the Sandman-comics. We don’t know the background story. Just the murder, in addition to bits and pieces of the complete background story. But back to the Sandman Theory: As I said, Morpheus needs to be judged by The Kindly Ones; and this starts to commence when someone kidnaps Lyta Hall’s baby Daniel, which Morpheus has said is his to claim when the time comes. But it is not the Sandman that has taken her baby. She goes into some deep journey and ends up with making the Kindly Ones take action and avenge the murder of Orpheus, the Sandman’s son. It turns out at the end that it has all been a mistake (or har it), but it is one piece of words/picture that is just AWESOME and that really says it all; The Sandman, Morpheus or the King of Dreams and Creations if you want, he truly WANTS to be judged for the murder of his son. He sends one of the nightmares (The Corinthian, the new one if you wondered) along with one of his ravens, Matthew (F0x? Or Raven?) to find Daniel, the baby of Lyta Hall. It is time to claim him again. Why? I’m getting to that.

While this happens, a faerie that has been working for Morpheus some years, named Nuala follows her brother into the land of faerie again, after recieving a boon from Morpheus: she can call him anytime and anywhere through this boon, and he will come no matter what. As the story progresses, Nuala hears he is in trouble, and calls out on him to save him. In reality, this is what weakens both him and his realm, and finally leads the Kindly Ones to take they’re revenge. Real epic moment, when Dream calls for his sister Death and has the “end of life” conversation with her before they touch, and he is gone. The Kindly Ones have fullfilled their purpose… But it was all according to the Sandman’s plan! Because when he is dead, Daniel (Lyta Hall’s baby that the Sandman claimed after he got kidnapped, which started it all) become the new Dream. Although he is white instead of black, thus reversed.

Now, let’s draw this up on LOST. We have the death of Jacob, instead the death of Morpheus. We have the Mysterious Man in Black/Esaus/Locke instead of the unknown “man/woman behind the curtain” in the Sandman and so on. This leads me to believe this:

Jacob has not done something that is against the rules. He is doing all of this to make the Man in Black do something against the rules, kill him, and then the Man in Black/Locke/Esau will be judged by the Smoke Monster which is this universe’s Kindly Ones. But in order to do this, Jacob must die. And that can’t happen. So, the thing is that it is a HUGE twist in here, that spins the Sandman plot and changes it radically; They have mixed the characters. You see that one now, don’t you? But, as the Sandman, Jacob has a fail-safe. The LOSTies from 1977. And ofcourse, Daniel, the baby. But this one, you’ve already guessed, right? It’s Aaron, who is transformed to the new, pure and reborn Jacob, that still is different than the original. That leads me to believe that Ben knows about some of this. Like Loki in the Sandman story, he tried to get his hands on Aaron, and he is also a great lier and deciever.

But back to Aaron: this next piece of information is something I picked up on LOSTpedia. That’s right, it’s the LOST wiki. Now, read!

• The biblical Aaron is a descendant of Jacob through Levi, Kohath, and Amram.
  • He is also the brother of Moses.
• Nicknamed “Turniphead” by Charlie. In the 2004 Japanese anime film Howl’s Moving Castle, the character Turniphead (who is a scarecrow) turns out to be a missing prince who was under a witch’s spell.

Now, let’s begin with a little theorizing again, shall we? We have Aaron, which is related to Jacob. Wait, was that in LOST or in the Bible…? Now, the brother of Moses. Hmm. What important things did Moses do that can relate to LOST? He wrote the ten commandments! Or, as I like to call them; THE rules!

But who is this mysterious Moses-figure of LOST? Personally, I got this great idea at first that it was Walt, referring to the first season where he appears to stop the rain so that he and his father can go search for his dog. But then, I remembered the ten commandments. And Walt can’t have written the rules.

The little thing that destroys so many theories right now, is that we know that the sixth and final season of LOST won’t involve time-travelling. Or so they say. But hang with me on this one; As in Sandman, someone has said to Clair like Morpheus said to Lyta Hall; I will, one day come to claim your baby. But instead, someone said to Claire, your child will be important. That’s kinda the same thing, right?

Got my Sandman theory, then? Jacob planning to make Esau push him into the fire, making him the murderer instead of Ben and then watch as Esau is judged by the Smoke Monster. Meanwhile, Jacob becomes reborn or reincarnated in the body of Aaron. And Aaron needs someones help to get to the Island. Me suggests Walt and/or Desmond. Maybe even in the same boat?

Well, that was LOST and Found for now. And we haven’t gone through half of the latest episode yet! The reapperance of Vincent, Rose and Bernard was pretty neat. “We travelled thirty years in time, and you’re still trying to find reasons to kill each other on!” That WAS neat. And that pretty much clears up their story; They are to live like Robinson’s for the rest of their life. Happy and together. Unless they are becoming parts of the new storyline, and travelled in time with the rest of the LOSTies back to 2007. Or beyond…

It is much we haven’t discussed. But we will discuss it eventually. I just want to say two more things before I leave:

1. My LOST and Fringe being one show theory was pretty cool. But it was AWFULLY wrong. To make it up to you: The LOCKE-theory was right. He wasn’t the same Locke. But still, he wasn’t the smoke monster.
2. From this day on, the LOST and found-blog is with on the new LOST Rewatch thingie. You can read the schedule HERE!

LOST S5 E15

With the last episode before this season’s finale, we have some EXTREMELY important questions to answer, and some highly interesting ones as well… Now, before we try to find some answers, it’s time to clear something up.

We’ve got some answers in which I was wondering about last time. For one, Locke can’t be a part of the smoke monster, as we have clearly seen him do things that the other forms of the smoke monster has never done. So that theory is probably wrong. But still, you never know!

Locke is probably meant to be in “main time”, as he must be in control of the others. And the thing with Richard telling Locke that he had to die; Bullshit! Made up by LOCKE himself, as Richard probably had no idea what was going on.

As the end of this season emerges, the people in charge has started to lose control. As Eloise Hawking stated in the previous episode; “For a long time now, I don’t know what will happen next”. And this kinda freaks me out, as both Eloise Hawking and Charles Widmore has indeed started to lose control. It’s the same for Richard Alpert and Benjamin Linus. Richard has in both Dharma Time and Main Time, lost control over Locke and Jack. Jack wants to detonate a hydrogen bomb, Locke wants to kill Jacob(or does he…?) In this weeks episode, we didn’t get to know much things for a fact; on the other hand, the show opened up some new storylines and built up to the season finale next week.

As many of the people that have always been in control has begun to lose it, Jack and Locke (Man of Science, Man of Faith) has yet again laid out on a quest. They have two different targets, but both will eventually succeed. Or, they will not. As Doc Jensen said in the last column of “Totally LOST” the show is kinda like Peter Pan now; someone will betray someone, as Tinker Bell betrayed Wendy and Peter. My (and the Doc’s guess) is that Richard Alpert is the betrayer, and that he has something surprising in store for us. We will finally know who he is, but also what he wants. Because he’s clearly playing a game with high stakes now.

Jack’s goal is to detonate the hydrogen bomb, which will make The Incident at the Swan to backfire – The whole chain of events that lead up to the time travelling to 1977 erased. Now, that would truly bring us back to square one, as Sawyer talked about in The Variable. But wait a minute: Was that a clue?

Now, Locke’s goal is a totally different indeed. At least if we believe him, because he’s off to kill Jacob now. And that can be hard, as Richard and Ben doesn’t actually think of this as a good idea. But still, it will probably give us the big great answer to what/who Jacob really is/are. The whole LOST season has clearly been building up to this, and now the final plotlines starts to reveal themselves. There are, on the other hand, something that is missing.

Desmond, for once. He needs to come back to the Island, or else he will not be able to fulfill his destiny. Remember Faraday telling him he was special? Well, that is one storyline that needs unwrapping, as Jack’s plan won’t work without him. Either way, Jack’s plan will fail.

When Faraday arrived at the Island, he made sure that everything went according to plan; his plan about the Hydrogen bomb is bullshit. Whatever happened, happened does still rule the LOSTies time travelling options. Nothing will change. Everyone will do what they are supposed to do, and thus whatever happened, happened. There is no mysterious about it. Take the incident as an example. If they detonate the hydrogen bomb, that will be the incedent. If not, the original thing will be the incident. And thus, an incident will still happen, and the timeline has not changed. Done with the arguing. Faraday was just making sure that everything went according to plan. But if it is something the hydrogen bomb will do, it is to get Sawyer, Jack and the others back to Main Time. Or it will reveal what they’re true destinies are.

A question that LOST seems to have forgotten in the last episodes, is the cast aways from Ajira Airways 316. Now, the passangers asked our good old fellow Lapidus about What lied in the shadow of the Statue. And as the statue is getting more screen time, this answer will probably be revealed in the finale.

So, that was this weeks LOST and Found. I will be back next week with another BIG installement. And while I remember it; Sorry for the typo’s in Fringe and LOST compared thingie. It’s ZFT not ZTF… My fuckup!
