Although, it appears that the 4 toed statue from the show has it's right foot sticking out in front of the left one, but the picture that you posted of the statue has it's left foot in front of the right. Not sure if that's even something that was supposed to be like that, but the 4 toed statue in the screenshot from LOST defintiely appears to have its right leg bent/extended/etc. :) Anyway, good call!!! can't wait for your next writeup!!!!Keyser Sözehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08247822518079413364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-68822277080878178972009-03-21T02:03:00.000-05:002009-03-21T02:03:00.000-05:00Namaste:There's a few things we need to establish....Namaste:<BR/><BR/>There's a few things we need to establish. *These are the facts:<BR/><BR/>Frank is flying Ajira Airways flight 316 at night, in Jan 2008 (What I will refer to as present time, the present time in the narrative of LOST) *A flash*occurs*sending Jack, Kate, Hurley and Sayid to 1977. *Post-Flash the plane is flying during the day, and the co-pilot has a WTF? moment, while Frank is simply trying to land the plane. *Once they have crash landed the co-pilot has been impaled by tree branch. *We see the title card "Thirty Years Earlier". *<BR/><BR/>This is why everyone is stuck on the idea that the Ajira Airways passengers are in present time, late Jan 2008. *But the title card really means to say "we are about to show you 30 years before this moment", not "when" they ended up.*I think it's completely rational to say that the flash from Night to Day insinuates that Flight 316 traveled through time, or , in even simpler terms, Ajira flight 316 is not "when" it was before the flash. *So I think it is false to assume that the Ajira passengers landed in Jan 2008. *<BR/><BR/>If you swallow that, then there are two ways we can go. *We are before 2008 or we are after 2008. *<BR/><BR/>Arguments for before Jan 2008:<BR/><BR/>-The dock and surrounding area is full of old dharma stuff, kinda like post-purge looking and note: no sub.<BR/>-The processing center's sign is swaying against the building while dharma signs are nailed to a few doors.<BR/>-This does not really resemble the 2004 Othersville days of yesteryear. The others used the sub and this area regularly, juliet came in the sub. I highly doubt they would have left up the pictures of the people they had just gassed and thrown into a giant ditch.<BR/><BR/>Arguments for after Jan 2008:<BR/><BR/>- The runway is finished which we assume was Ben's construction project, we see Sawyer and Kate working on it in season 3 when they were sleeping in polar bear cages.<BR/><BR/>The runway kinda seals the deal for me as a clear indication that we are post Jan 2008. How post? Damned if i know. A post where the dharma initiative was back in business or at least trying to appear that way.

At this point in time – 1974 – Daniel and Charlotte had not yet been born. But perhaps Daniel thought he could experiment with time travel, at least enough to prevent his current situation. Perhaps Daniel went to Oxford where he would experiment with time travel using Eloise the rat and the ill-fated Theresa… and also meet Desmond who would become his Constant. <BR/><BR/>At some point between 1977 and 1980, an Incident would take place on the Island, leading the Dharma Initiative to institute the protocols described in the Swan Orientation Video.<BR/><BR/>The Incident may have caused fertility issues on the island. But that’s not important right now. <BR/><BR/>More importantly, the Incident may have led to the Island becoming impossible to find again. But Daniel needed to go back, perhaps to warn young Charlotte and her mother to leave and never come back. <BR/><BR/>Lucky for the Dharma Initiative, Daniel is a clever fellow who may have devised mathematical formulas that allowed the pendulum in the Lamp Post to light the way. <BR/><BR/>Arriving on the Island after 1980, Daniel witnessed the drilling accident at the Orchid Station and went on to help Dr. Candle record and transmit the message revealed at Comic Con. Keep in mind now, for all this to happen, and for Daniel to survive the trip, Desmond needed to be with him. Perhaps they time traveled there together. <BR/><BR/>Would Daniel do all this just to save Charlotte? Maybe he was trying to prevent something greater than her demise. Something worse than the Incident or the Purge. Something that would lead Ms. Hawking to tell Desmond he must push the button or, “Every single one of us is dead.”Makaha Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03337601152853268311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-54672216703382894242009-03-15T23:12:00.000-05:002009-03-15T23:12:00.000-05:00I am so happy someone besides me is wondering abou...I am so happy someone besides me is wondering about Bernard and Rose!!

Sawyer's comment to Juliette that "Somethin' smells good" when she's cooking, which shows how far she's come from burning the muffins before the book club meeting, in the beginning of Season 3.<BR/><BR/>Also in Season 3, we see someone underneath Juliette's house, fixing the pipes ... turns out to be Ethan. In this episode, we see someone under a vehicle, fixing it ... turns out to be Juliette.<BR/><BR/>Sawyer taking the name LaFleur ... then giving Juliette the yellow flower. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Just curious ... anyone know of a philosopher with the last name LaFleur? <BR/><BR/>Wondering if it's symbolic that every other DI worker has their first name on their jumpsuit pocket, but LaFleur's last name is on his.<BR/><BR/>I think Faraday knows more than he's saying, when Charlotte dies.

I have seen this in a few places which means that she is his wife, sister (or other relative), or that Horace is a polygamist. (but this would imply that she is there when Ben is born, but out of the picture when Amy enters the scene and then is back as a schoolteacher . . . and that timeline does not make sense)<BR/><BR/>2. We are told (by the producers) that Vincent makes it to the end of the series. Who was been feeding him for three years? (Rose and Bernard?)<BR/><BR/>3. Didn't the #15 rabbit from the Orchid video appear in the same ROOM at the same time as its "twin" . . . though Dr. JohnJacobCandleSchmidt made it a point to let everyone know they could not TOUCH one another and seemd to try to keep them from even seeing one another. Was this foreshadowing?<BR/><BR/>4. Any chance that Ben was the one mirror signaling himself from the Orchid? I STILL feel like SOMEONE from this series has to be in cahoots with themselves to plot nefarious goings-on. (to carry out the BAD TWIN motif)<BR/><BR/>5. Since they gave the shout out to the eye-liner, WHEN will someone ask Daniel about his tie??!? Come on.

Or should I say that this is my hope for the storyline of the show, and I'm sticking to it. Maybe it's because I really don't like all of the "This person is actually also THIS person" theories that have grown in intensity this season, but I strongly believe my reasoning explains what happened to Charlotte's body, and will also be why no 815er will ever "see his/herself" or be able to exist in two places at the same time. Watch, I'll probably be proven wrong in the next episode just because I'm so confident about this."<BR/><BR/>I don't think you can assume that the flashes prohibit people from existing at the same time as other iterations of themselves. We already saw Sawyer & the gang flash back to Aaron's birth, and we know that all of the people in Sawyer's gang existed on the Island at that time.<BR/><BR/>Therefore, if all time flashes operate on the same principle, then it wouldn't hold that the reason Charlotte's body wasn't flashed to the '70's was because she already existed there.<BR/><BR/>Just my humble opinion. Hope you have a great vacation! :-)Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10596729672047490387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20981436.post-27029890696361318322009-03-08T22:25:00.000-05:002009-03-08T22:25:00.000-05:00Is Amy an Other in Dharma clothing?

Did Amy insist on burying the bodies at the picnic site because she’s really an Other? Did Richard want Paul’s body because he was an Other, too? And what if Amy took Paul’s ankh necklace and kept it for years – not because she still loves him (like Horace thinks) – but as a symbol of her Otherness? <BR/><BR/>And when Amy insisted that Juliet perform the Caesarian section – “I want her.

Another reason for this is this text from Wikipedia "Since Horus was said to be the sky, he was considered to also contain the sun and moon. It became said that the sun was his right eye and the moon his left" <BR/><BR/>Another mention of the dark/light, eyes, black/white, etc. Also the symbol for Horus is a falcon, if you look at the screen shot from when the hatch countdown clock goes red, there is definately a falcon symbol - not sure if I am reading too much into this, I think I am actually obsessed with Lost at the moment, very sad!!!!!<BR/><BR/>Hope you are having a great holiday.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554647313951079829noreply@blogger.com
