Re: ***LOST Official Season 3 Discussion**** (Contains West Coast spoilers)
I'm curious now that we know what Locke's dad did, that I have a theory that he might as well be Sawyer's dad since he was a con man. It's kind of crazy, but he was conning that girl and as you can tell, he almost killed his own son to protect himself. But that's another story.
It's crazy to see his dad there and who knows what Locke's going to do to him. Next week looks great.
Edit: Looks like next week will be a Paulo & Nikki story. Interesting.Comment

Locke needs to be a man, and put a bullet in his dad's head.Comment

Whoa, crazy episode. Now we see Sun in that preview hit sawyer making us think she's backstabber. Remember when Sun was on the sail boat and she was confronted by one of the others? That lady knew who she was, but they never explained it, so next week will give background on that.
When Locke was in the closet they called Kate and Sayid, "Austin and Jarrah." Are those code names? Or are those they're real names? It's almost as if they know these certain Lostee's personally like they did with Sun.
Plus there are only certain Lostee's that have had images from their flash backs appear on the island.
Jack - His dad
Kate - black horse
Sayid - jacked up cat
Hurley - his imaginary buddy
There might be more that I'm forgetting but i can even include Locke's dad as something from his flashbacks has appeared on the island.Comment

I think it's just their last names....Just like they referred to Jack as "Sheppard."Comment

Re: ***LOST Official Season 3 Discussion**** (Contains West Coast spoilers)
Yep you're correct... and the whole thing about The Man From Tallahassee... I swore I had heard that nickname before in a Sawyer flashback... I think there certainly could be a connection that way between Sawyer and Locke.http://flotn.blogspot.com

Who else was smiling/laughing when Locke blew that submarine up? Now, I like Jack's character but that look was just great. No way you getting off the island so easy buddy!
Great episode and I'm finally liking Locke again. With the recent trend of more answers than new mysteries per episode, the rest of season 3 looks golden.Comment

Re: ***LOST Official Season 3 Discussion**** (Contains West Coast spoilers)
I think that's the most sensible theory at this point in the storyline.
With Lost's history, we know that the Real Sawyer has to be a character we are familiar with or will become familiar with in future episodes. The only con-man we know is Mr. Cooper. So, I'd back you up on that theory.
Anyone else get a feeling of nostalgia when Locke looked down the ladder of the submarine. Brings back memories of one of the greatest cliffhangers in television history."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace

Re: ***LOST Official Season 3 Discussion**** (Contains West Coast spoilers)
Saw this on another board.
In episode #113 "Hearts and Minds" (Boone flashback, Season One).
Boone enters a building to meet a man. You can see another man falling down from a window. Not sure where exactly you see the man, but you see one.
That man is John Locke."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied.

Re: ***LOST Official Season 3 Discussion**** (Contains West Coast spoilers)
I'll give my thoughts on last night's episode later.
Check out Bruce's (from Lost Blog) Pendulum Theory:
The last 15 to 20 episodes I believe have put in place the foundation for how Lost is going to end in 3 or 4 years. The ending I foresee leaves the show with endless possibilities for character development and twists. More importantly, any great series ending needs to:
* Address the producers’ respect for the mythology of the island
* Be true to its characters
* Be original
In the simplest form, I believe that one of the more dramatic shots of the series will be the Oceanic plane traveling above the Others’ camp and passing without incident. Pretty simple. From that point, however, the storyline layering will begin. The plane is passing over the island because Desmond has not yet pressed the button. This time, however, Desmond presses the button on time, so Oceanic does not crash. Desmond presses the button on time because through a series of time travel flashback episodes over the next 3 to 4 years, we are going to see Desmond get closer and closer to the focal point of the whole show…his failure to press the button before crashing the plane.
Contrary to what many have written about Desmond’s experience in “Flashes Before Your Eyes,” Desmond was not seeing his past experiences at the same time. Instead, the producers have beautifully set up a very simple time pendulum affect. He sees into the far away past and the far away future (e.g. saving Charlie repeatedly). The pendulum is swinging, and saving Charlie has in effect become his test for something bigger. If my guess is correct, we will see Desmond continue to save Charlie’s life until Desmond realizes he does not need to save Charlie’s life in order to really…save it. See below.
The layers of the final show continue. The magic of the series ending show really starts, though, on the Oceanic flight as it passes peacefully over the island as the Others watch. If the producers are truly courageous, we will see manifestations of all the characters’ back stories come to fruition on the plane. Will you see John Locke walking? Will Boone be alive and talking with his sister? Is Kate still in custody? Are Jack and Claire talking about the death of their father and then realizing they are related? What makes this possible ending so interesting is that the producers can make us to see the characters on the plane reflect the life they led while on the island in the prior 6 or 7 seasons. What would be far more interesting, though, is if the characters remember what they experienced. The producers could creatively weave in the principles of faith and science. Almost anything is possible.
I do not know how the producers would play out this great moment. In many ways I really do not want to know…that is what makes this show so unforgettable.
But, what about Desmond? Remember, the pendulum has gone back and forth in time and now it rests on the focal point of so many lives — pressing the button before the plane crashes. You might ask if the pendulum was swinging during this time, why not tell Penelope about his duties in the hatch and the affects of the electromagnetic anomalies. I believe in a future episode he is going to do just that but she is not going to believe him until he turns up missing on the boat trip. In the show’s second greatest twist (after Locke’s “Walkabout” episode), we will see that Penelope’s last scene in the final episode of Lost Season 2 did not take place at the time of the hatch implosion, but back in time to the electromagnetic anomaly leading to the Oceanic crash.
Now Penelope is looking for the electromagnetic anomalies and Desmond will realize the benefit of giving her the “bread crumbs” to find him while the pendulum swings. What a great ending it will be to see our hero rescued by Penelope.
If the Lost producers are seeing an ending similar to this, the character story lines are endless and how they are perceived in the end are not predetermined. In other words, there is great artistic license.
If I am correct, I expect Charlie to die before the end of this season or early in the fourth. Charlie’s death will serve a critical purpose to the long term plot. Desmond met Charlie in his last flashback episode, but Charlie did not remember him on the island, despite Desmond’s hysterics on the street in front of him. This plot device makes no sense unless we find out that Charlie never meets Desmond in the future. I believe Desmond will realize that as the time pendulum swings, he does not have to save Charlie’s life every week in order to….save his life. Desmond only has to make sure the plane passes safely. In effect, Desmond will realize that Charlie is really slowing him down in getting to the point where he can reunite with Penelope.Comment

Yeah, I looked at the screencaps for this episode on lost-media.com, and i don't think the theory about #113 is true.Last edited by rubisco43; 03-22-2007, 02:44 PM.Comment
