And ever since we saw that <b>Jacob</b> lives inside the <b>Four-Toed Statue</b> I've been kicking myself that the clue was there all along because the name Jacob in Hebrew means "heel," hence why the statue only has a foot remaining. <br /><br />Then there've been all of the <b>lies</b> from the characters, most notably Ben, Widmore, Locke, Sawyer, Juliet and Michael. <b>Conspicuous statements</b> have been made about how "Nothing stays buried on this Island," and Nikki & Paulo being buried alive, as well as finding out that Henry Gale wasn't who he said he was by digging up the actual Henry Gale's grave stand out. <b><i>We and the Losties have been trained to look beyond the obvious, the surface of things, and find the truth, what/who is behind what they've experienced.</i></b><br /><br />As for the <b>actual digging</b> that we and the characters have been -- and should still be -- doing, it started with <b>the buried Hatch</b> in S1 and then went deeper with <b>the pocket of electromagnetism</b> underneath the Swan in S2. We learned that the Dharma Initiative made nearly all of their <b>stations</b> deep within the earth and there has to be a reason why. In S4 we saw the hidden purpose of the deep underground <b>Orchid station</b>, and Ben showed us that beneath it was a <b>frozen wheel</b> that stimulated <b>a pocket of exotic matter</b> which manipulated space-time and moved the Island. Ever since I saw that, I can't help but wonder <b><i>what's on the other side of that wall which excited those particles?</i></b> <br /><br />Most recently, in S5 we got a glimpse at the wall around the still as-yet-unseen and mysterious <b>Temple</b>. As Ben found out, under the wall there are <b>tunnels</b>, and under them are apparently <b>more chambers</b>, 1 of which houses <b>a shrine with a vent</b> from which Smokey emanates. Dare we ask <b><i>what is underneath that vent?</i></b> Not only that, but we found out that the little <b>ancient door</b> hidden in Ben's house in Dharmaville which allowed him to summon Smokey back in S4 was actually part of a much <b>larger settlement</b> which the Barracks were apparently built over. After swimming through a pond, Jack found out from Richard and Ellie that <b>the Tunnels</b> beneath the Barracks are where the Others 'buried' <b>Jughead</b>. And lastly, we keep getting the hint that <b>bodies</b> which aren't properly buried or disposed of (Christian, Yemi, Horace, Alex, Locke, etc.) become able to be impersonated or duplicated by either Smokey or Jacob's Nemesis (who might just be one and the same or at very least boss and henchman).<br /><br /><b>We keep getting shown that there is an underground world to the Island which helps explain --- and is the source of --- most, if not all, the mysteries of the show.</b> <i>It's almost as if the show itself is like an iceberg, with what seems like a massive amount of it above water, but deceptively the much larger portion of it is what lies beneath.</i> I am a firm believer that ultimately they will reveal that something which ties into all the major mysteries will be what's <b>buried beneath</b> everything we've seen on <b>the Island</b>, and maybe be the cause of the Island's existence itself. I've got my hopes set on a crashed human spacecraft from the future :)Keeping Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627160343035413834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-43026688084310245142010-01-03T18:26:37.657-06:002010-01-03T18:26:37.657-06:00I've noticed Vincent maybe more then what he s...I've noticed Vincent maybe more then what he seems he just a little too smart for a dog and when he shows up he help move things along .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-56136367571137705182010-01-03T18:14:48.850-06:002010-01-03T18:14:48.850-06:00I noticed that if you make and anagram of Hugo Rey...I noticed that if you make and anagram of Hugo Reyes you get "Heroes Guy".

It made me both laugh out loud and feel kinda sorry for ol' Locke. It'll take me a moment to give some backstory to explain what I noticed. Here it goes:<br /><br />As I'm sure you all remember, back in Season 2 Mr. Eko brings Locke a film strip inside a Bible he found in the Arrow Station. Locke is very excited to stitch it into the Orientation video, expecting a huge reveal (Mr. Eko smartly warns "Don't mistake coincidence for fate"). When it turns out to only be Pierre Cheng warning about using the computer, Locke is sorely disappointed.<br />But, in classic Locke style, he wanted more. He searched for meaning and explanation.<br />In "The Long Con", Sawyer comes down to the hatch to find Locke ruffling through the pages in a book. He is holding the book out in front of him, upside down. When Sawyer asks what he's doing, he claims he is "alphabetizing".<br />Yeah right...<br />So what was he doing? And why was there a whole pile of other books on the table which he had seemingly done the same thing with?<br />What he was doing, was looking through <i>every single</i> book in the hatch bookshelf, trying to find another film strip.<br /><br />I hate to hate on Locke -- he is one of my favourite characters -- but <i>that</i> is just pathetic.hilightnotesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-67594538693489282522010-01-03T09:59:55.438-06:002010-01-03T09:59:55.438-06:00I´ve noticed that there are A LOT of inverted imag...I´ve noticed that there are A LOT of inverted images, more than 200 icluded the very first with Jack at the beach right after the crash, and I don´t know why!lostieforeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934887758967831443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-24608253364335156462010-01-03T09:54:23.905-06:002010-01-03T09:54:23.905-06:00I've noticed that everyone in the show is an e...I've noticed that everyone in the show is an expert in knocking people down with one hitAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
