Lost Update - Feel Like A Number

Lost Update - Season Six - 02/16/2010

I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field

I'm just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers I'm just another child
To IRS I'm just another file
I'm just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey it's me
And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
I'm not a number
I'm not a number
Dammit I'm a man
I said I'm a man

4-Locke 8-Reyes 15-Ford 16-Sayid 23-Shepherd 42-Kwon
Every castaway being tracked and categorized just as if they were participating in a large scale experiment.

Tonight we got a peak at the meaning of the magical numbers that keep popping up for the castaways. But I knew what the numbers meant. I posted it five years ago in my Lost update for October 19th, 2005.

CASE STUDY # 481516.23 VOLUME 42
STUDY COMPLETED TO SATISFACTION…..

And that my friends, is exactly what my Lost theory is all about.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting six years to tell you…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

Tonight we got reminded by the MIB of Jacob visiting all the castaways before they arrived on the island. Did everyone notice that John Locke during his side ways flash also interacted with the castaways. Perhaps tonight's official Lost title, The Substitute literally means substitute. Locke is the substitute for Jacob.

Case in point. Locke and Helen are talking about the business card of Jacks. John says he met Jack in lost baggage claim and that he offered a free consult. What are the odds of running into a spinal surgeon? Perhaps it's destiny. I am sure that in future episodes, Locke will come into contact with all the castaways Just as he did with Jack, Hugo, Rose, etc.

Sawyer got reminded by the MIB that not many people get a second chance in life. Unless of course, you are an unknown specimen in an experiment being conducted through the use of virtual reality. In that scenario, you get plenty of chances but none seem to get him off the island. Seriously, what are the odds that his plane crashed. His sub blew up, the raft sank, the freighter sank, the chopper was too heavy. All these disasters in a mere 108 days! Something is keeping him on the island. And that something is virtual reality.

Moving on,
John Locke confesses to Helen that he is sick of imagining what his life could be if he were able to get out of his wheel chair. He was tired of waiting for a miracle. Locke was done playing the game. The virtual reality game.

MIB leads Sawyer to a cave entrance on the side of the mountain. inside is a justice scale with two stones, a white and a black one. MIB takes the white stone forcing the scale to tip in favor of the black stone. MIB than throws the stone into the ocean. A pivotal point here folks. MIB is once again changing the parameters of the experiments. Perhaps what once was good is now evil, or perhaps substitutes are being plugged in to finish the end game. (Perhaps I say perhaps to much! Perhaps!)

Believe it or not but I am a religious type person. I recognized something in tonight's episode. A story from the bible. About Lucifer, a beautiful angel that was cast into the pits of hell trapping him for eternity for challenging God's will. Hence, the birth of evil versus good. MIB told Sawyer he was trapped. For a very very long time. He remembers that he used to be a man, have feelings, love, and all he wants is to be free again. Just like Lucifer. He even tempts Richard and Sawyer into following him. He tells them if they follow him, he will tell them everything they want to know especially what their purpose is on the island. Richard knows MIB is evil.

Tidbits from tonight's episode:

* Did you notice Helen's shirt, it said Peace & Karma on it. Something that Locke received tonight. (Just saying!)

* And Helen has a nice rack. (Just saying!)

* Ben lied to Llana about killing Locke. Ben always lies.

* Notice the beginning of the episode, the island was in the point of view of the smoke monster and then a machete is focused on and Locke appears. (Subtle! NOT!)

* Don't worry, I didn't forget about the little boy who looked a hell of a lot like Jacob. MIB seemed to be afraid of him. The young man warns MIB, you know the rules, you can't kill him.

* Locke is surprised that Sawyer can see the young boy.

* The numbers, the castaways are candidates to take over. Take over what, the island? Some become the Others, some good, evil, shoemakers?

* MIB gives Sawyer three options. Play out the scenario and see what happens. Accept the position as the new Jacob and protect the island. And three, both Locke and Sawyer just leave and get the hell off the island and go home. Sawyer chooses number three.

But we all know how previous attempts to leave the island worked....

Until next week, Get Lost!

Addendum:
Damn Damn Damn!
Last night I posted the wrong Lost title and lyrics. Nowhere Man is slated for a future episode. Tonight was all about the numbers. Bob Segers Feel Like A Number is the title and lyrics for this one.

LURKING, STILL LOST ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Lost Update: Coming Into Los Angeles

Lost Update - Season Six - 02/02/2010

Coming in from London
From over the pole
Flying in a big airliner
Chickens flying everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?

Coming into Los Angeles
Bringing in a couple of keys
Don't touch my bags if you please
Mister Customs Man

There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico
No, he couldn't look much stranger
Walking in the hall with his things and all
Smiling, said he was the Lone Ranger

Hip woman walking on a moving floor
Tripping on the escalator
There's a man in the line
And she's blowing his mind
Thinking that he's already made her

Coming in from London
From over the pole
Flying in a big airliner
Chickens flying everywhere around the plane
Could we ever feel much finer?

Season Six began just as season one began. On Flight 815. Only this time around, this scenario had a different outcome. Jack was on the plane, and he noticed that something was different, and it appeared he experienced a Deja Vu event. Or so he thought. The plane encountered turbulence but it lands safely at its destination, Los Angeles, California. Has the storyline changed so dramatically that the plane crash never occurred, that the castaways never met, Locke is still wheel chair bound, no Ben, no time travel, no Hanso, Dharma, Richard, no Juliet and her impressive rack, no smoke monster, and no island?

Hardly!!!

Let me tell you what it means. In essence, it means Jack won the game, or lost the game, depending on your perspective and he has proceeded to the next level. Juliet reset the game. The virtual reality parameters. To the next experiment. The next level. And that my faithful Lost readers is what my Lost theory is all about.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been telling you for six years now but here it is again…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are inter-connected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

Lets get one thing straight. In season five, the lost castaways were simultaneously living in at least three time lines, if not more. (50's, 70's, 2000's) With that, they broke all the laws of physics and several traffic laws. Season six brings them all back together, in one time line. When that is, only I know.

As I stated above, in tonight's episode, flight 815 lands safely in Los Angeles. Desmond disappears from the flight, Charlie is hauled away in handcuffs for possession of drugs, Kate is escorted off by the Federal Marshal, Sayid, Sawyer, and Hurley disembark, Jin and Sun have trouble at the customs line. Locke is assisted off the plane in a wheel chair. Jack gets bad news that his fathers coffin is missing.

Tonight, a new scenario was introduced to the castaways. A what if scenario as in what if the plane didn't crash. What would happen to the castaways. This is their new experiment.

Let's start with Kate. She is escorted off the plane after stealing a pen while still seated. She insists on using the bath room so she can unlock her cuffs. She succeeds and smashes the federal Marshal knocking him unconscious. She then flees and escapes. Doing what she has done her entire life. Perhaps a little respit on the island can refocus what really matters in life.

John Locke is next. Instead of waking up on the island with the miracle of being able to walk again, the plane lands and he is assisted off the plane in a wheel chair. He interacts with jack during a claim for lost baggage. Jack offers a free consultation concerning Locke's condition.

Jack continues life as well. The airlines lost his fathers coffin and he has to file a claim for it. He just wanted to get it over with in a hurry and move on in life. Time spent on the island may offer Jack some redemption, some insight on what his father meant to him.

Charlie almost dies in the planes bath room choking on a bad of heroin he swallowed. Jack saves him but charlie asks why he did that. He was supposed to die. On the island, Charlie kicked his drug habit, became an important part of the island society and gave his life to save the others.

Jin and sun were hassled at customs about the watch Jin received as a gift and the excess amount of money he failed to declare. He was hauled off by the authorities. Sun saw her chance to be free from Jin and clammed up. Perhaps some time stranded on the island with her husband would rekindle their marriage spark, help them work things out.

Here's a hint folks. What you saw tonight, the successful landing of flight 815, is how the series finale of Lost ends. The passengers will know each other on the plane, as if they have known each other for years. But one thing will be changed. Their lives have turned to good fortune. Kate is not in custody, jack is not burying his father, Locke is not in a wheel chair, etc. Trust me when I say this. (Ben, you can attest to my knowledge of the show as I have proven tonight.) You just saw the ending to the show.

But wait, there's more. Juliet had something important to tell Sawyer before she died. Miles relayed the message to Sawyer. The message: It worked! As in, Juliet exploded the bomb, giving her life, the ultimate sacrifice, to save Sawyer and the castaways from all the sorrow they were going to endure. Game won. The castaways made the right moves and won. Next experiment. Move on. New scenario.

Jacob had been waiting for this to happen for a long time. It finally paid off. The group coming together for a common goal, selfless sacrifice, for love, honor, for all the right reasons. Just like a video game. When you win you receive a prize, a trophy, and then you reset the game and increase the difficulty level. I stated this exact scenario more than a year ago.

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:
* The flight attendant who gave Jack one bottle of booze instead of two, she was in with the temple group. She recognized them by stating, "They were on the first plane!"

* Sayid is dead.

* Imposter Locke equals the Man in black equals the Smoke Monster. Did you see that demonic stare from him as he told Ben he wanted to go home.

* The Smoke monster kicked ass in the temple.

* Richard gets his ass kicked by Imposter Locke. He was in chains before. Perhaps a prisoner on the Black Rock.

* Weep. Juliet is dead. But fear not. She and her rack will appear once more before the series finale.

* So who are the temple guys? And was the water some sort of fountain of youth that has healing properties.

Tonight, the castaways got a taste of their original lives. And the taste was bitter. If you had to choose between tonight's scenario or crashing on the island, which would you select?

Lost Update: Addendum 02/04/2010

One more point to drive home my theory of virtual reality and alien intervention. Remember Ben and the Man in Black, MIB talking at the end of the episode. Ben asks him, "What do you want?" MIB simply replies, "I want to go home!"

Jacob and MIB have been at it for quite some time. Perhaps hundreds of years. Repeating the same experiment over and over again with always the same results. Remember this exchange in season five between MIB and Jacob, on the beach, watching the Black Rock sail in.

MIB: You’re still trying to prove me wrong.
Jacob: You are wrong!
MIB: They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same.
Jacob: It only ends once. Anything that happens before that, it’s just progress.

Well, MIB has had enough. He believes enough data has been collected on the human race and any further experiments would be futile. He wants to pack it all in and return home. Alas, Jacob is expecting and wanting a different outcome, a best case scenario, which never occurred in any of the study groups. And he doesn't want to leave until he gets it right. Hence, MIB's exasperation.

The comments section is open. What say you all......

Lost Update: Season 6 Preview - Faith Of The Heart

Lost Update - Season Six - 01/27/2010

It's been a long road, getting from there to here.
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they're not gonna hold me down no more, no they're not gonna change my mind.

Cause I've got faith of the heart.
I'm going where my heart will take me.
I've got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I've got strength of the soul. And no one's gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star.
I've got faith.
I've got faith, faith of the heart.

Five and a half years ago, September 22nd, 2004, I watched the pilot of ABC's new drama series, Lost. It was about a horrific plane crash that went down 1000 miles off course stranding 48 survivors. To make matters worse, the Losties encountered a terrifying invisible monster stalking the survivors. The program was very entertaining but something just didn't jive and some scenes were all to familiar. At that moment, I formulated my Lost theory and posted it to my  Grassy Knoll blog. Week in and week out for the past 5 years I updated each episode with what was really going on behind the scene. In May of 2010, we shall see if the Curator was correct.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting six years to tell you…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

Season Six, the final season, promises to answer the countless questions the show produced. However, the writers stated that not every single question will be given an answer, but will attempt to tie as many loose ends up as possible at the conclusion of the series. The Grassy Knoll Institute feels the following questions need to be answered to satisfy the millions of loyal Lost fans.

* Where are we? Charlie asked that question in the pilot after the smoke monster made it's first appearance. We've been trying to figure that out since.

* When are we? Time travel was introduced and the castaways have been transported to the 1950's, 1970's, the present, whenever that is, and to the future.

* Who are we? A very select group of survivors all with a backstory and all connected to one another in varying degrees.

* Where did all the children go? Ben took them in a raid and we never saw them again.

* Why did they take the children? For what purpose.

* What do the numbers mean? 4 - 8 - 15 - 16 - 23 - 42
They appear everywhere and have some sort of significant meaning.

* What is the Hanso corporation? It was mentioned early on but forgotten as of late.

* What is the real objective of the Dharma Initiative? To save the world, or perhaps to end it.

* Why are people who are known to be dead still appear and interact with the living on and off the island? It gives new meaning to the phrase, I see dead people?

* Who is Jacob? Is he the mastermind behind everything, or merely just another chess piece in the Lost Game.

* Who is the mysterious MIB? And why does he despise Jacob so much.

* How is it possible that John Locke can walk on the island? He was wheel chair bound but after the crash, he turns into Tarzan.

* Who is Ben really? Just an evil man, or a man wanting to save the world.

* Why doesn't Richard age like the rest of the Others? He was around in the 1950's and didn't age a bit in the present and the future.

* How can Desmond see glimpses of the future?

* How did Charlie kick his heroin habit so quickly?

* What is the significance of the Ying/Yang Black/White comparisons? is it a struggle between good and evil.

* Why can't the island be spotted by the air or from the sea?

* What is the significance of the black powder creating a ring around Jacob's cabin in the woods?

* Why don't they show Juliet's rack more often? The ratings would soar even higher.

And literally hundreds of more questions waiting to be answered.

February 2nd, is the premiere of season six. I believe this episode will recap several plot lines of previous seasons and then focus on the end game of the series. We will begin to see very soon where the storyline is headed and how Lost will end and who will be left standing. Alive or dead! I anticipate questions to be answered at a quick pace, not rapid fire, but narrowing the arc's of each character. There has been 5 seasons of episodes, the writers have only 16 episodes to tie it all together before the finale airs in May.

What questions do you want answered by the writers and producers of the show before the series ends? The comments are open, what say you Lost faithful?

Thought Screen Helmet Listening Device

Thought Screen Helmet Listening Device

In an attempt to collect vital information on the evil race of space aliens controlling a small population of people through telepathy, the Grassy Knoll Institute scientists have engineered a device they call a reverse thought screen helmet. Unlike other thought screen helmets, this device intercepts the telepathic commands of the aliens, and with the help of velostat, a magical material with telepathic blocking properties, filters, processes, and records them. The data is then sent to the secret laboratory of the Grassy Knoll Institute to decipher the encrypted messages.

The latest message decoded: Lady Gaga is a man. Now the world knows where that rumor began. With the evil race of space aliens. More messages will be revealed as soon as they are deciphered.

Tiger Woods Mistress #16 Revealed

Tiger Woods Mistress #16

.Mistress #16 on the Tiger Woods hit list surfaced last evening in Boca Raton, Florida. Paparazzi sources claim the woman to be at least 50 feet tall. Grassy Knoll Institute alien investigators (No, we aren't aliens, we just investigate them, and only the ones not of this Earth) were called to the scene and quickly confirmed that this woman, judging by the size of her discarded bra hanging from the side of the building, does indeed belong to the race of giant aliens attempting to take over the world and enslave humanity.

Tiger has a lot of explaining to do.

Protection Against Telepathic Aliens - Not Rulers

The Grassy Knoll Institute has long suspected that Catholic nuns were the original target of the evil race of aliens stealing and controlling our very thoughts. The aliens plan was to control the nuns that teach and shape the children of the world and make the nuns cruel and abusive to the children.

However, due to a unique Catholic nun habit design, (The ergonomic curve of the habit bounces back the telepathic waves) the evil aliens telepathic rays become erratic and interrupted leaving the nuns non-influenced in any way by the aliens.

If this is true, then what excuse do the Nuns have now!!

Disclaimer: It is not a known fact if Catholic nuns habits are lined with velostat material or not.

V - The Visitors - Sexy Aliens

Giant Aliens Fingers Cut Off 

The Grassy Knoll Institute was not fooled by the 29 giant alien space ships hovering over the worlds major cities last night at 8pm Eastern Standard Time. We knew straight away (We're rocket scientists) that the sexy alien spouting eternal peace and health to all was all a ruse. We know for a fact that the Visitors are an alien race bent on the obliteration of the human race and enslaving the survivors to a lifetime of servitude to the whims of Anna and her cohorts.

Last week, in the wooded area of Spokane, Washington, the Grassy Knoll Institute captured a sleeper cell V alien. During a fierce battle the V's fingers were cut off as it was performing a patented Three Stooges eye poke maneuver. (Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk) Before the V alien died, it spilled its guts revealing the plan of annihilation to humankind.

Lost Update - Flash Forward 2:17

Lost Update - Summer Of Lost - 09/28/2009

Last week ABC rolled out their new television program, Flash Forward, the replacement for the highly successful program Lost. To pay homage to the critically acclaimed show, an Oceanic airlines billboard was visible at the beginning of the program. As we all know, Oceanic Flight 815 was the doomed plane that sent the passengers to the Lost island to fight for their very lives.

Lost is beginning it's sixth and final season in early 2010 and the finale will be a massive surprise to all those except the readers of the Grassy Knoll Institute.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting 2 minutes and 17 seconds to tell you…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

What does the Grassy Knoll Institute believe Flash Forward to be about......
Don't worry my dear readers. I would never inflict the same pain upon you as I have done the past 5 plus years with Lost.

However, a Twilight Zone episode titled, A Kind Of A Stopwatch, fits the bill and explains the Flash Forward pilot. A Kind Of Stop Watch, (Original airdate: 10/18/1963, episode #124) was about a man that happened upon a magic stopwatch, that whenever he stopped the watch, all time itself stopped as well. All the people, animals, time itself coming to a halt. Except for him. He was able to move around and manipulate whatever he wanted without anyone seeing him. (Rob banks, skip out of restaurants, never wait in lines)

The Flash Forward pilot began with everyone loosing consciousness for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Planes crashed, (Maybe Oceanic Flight 815 was included) cars collided, people drowned. This lapse of time was a world wide event. Every city, every country reported the exact phenomenon at the same time. And many people claimed they saw the future, April 29th, 2010, and glimpses of events unfolding on that day.

The pilot ended with the two FBI agents viewing video tape from a baseball game in New York. One person was moving, walking down the aisle and into the tunnel. Who is that man?

In the Twilight Zone episode, the man broke the watch while time was halted, leaving him alone in the world for all eternity. For Flash Forward, there will be some sort of device that can alter and stop time.

Submitted for your approval, or at least your analysis.....

LURKING, STILL LOST ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Lost Update: The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street

Summer of Lost Update 08/25/2009

Tonight we continue our search for what we perceive as truth, reality, found, and Lost as The Twilight Zone and ABC's Lost intermingle as we explore my alternate theory and perhaps reality itself.

Some Background Before we Proceed:
The Twilight Zone was a classic science fiction television series created by Rod Serling that aired from 1959 to 1964. Each episode intertwined the supernatural with topical moral events in today’s society ending with a twist convoluting the outcome. The same can be said about ABC Lost. The castaways are more than just stranded on an island. There are mysterious forces at work of powers unknown. And just like the Twilight Zone, a twist is inserted in the story convoluting the outcome.

The Twilight Zone had a standard format. Each episode began with a prologue, usually with the host, Rod Serling doing the voice over introducing the characters and setting. At the end of the show, Serling would offer up a final narration of what the viewer just witnessed.

Tonight's Twilight Zone Lost offering is titled,
The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street, season 1, episode 22, 1960

The Prologue:
Maple Street, USA. Late Summer. A tree-lined little world of front porch gliders, barbecues, the laughter of children, and the bell of an ice cream vendor. At the sound of the roar and a flash of light, it will be precisely 6:43 PM on Maple Street.

This is Maple Street on a late Saturday afternoon. Maple Street, in the last calm and reflective moments...before the monsters came.

Synopsis:
The episode begins as a typical Summer day. Kids playing, grown ups gathering. Then a dark shadow crawls across the sky and a flash of light and a loud noise is heard before everything goes dark. A complete power outage has occurred including the residents cars. The adults get together to discuss what happened and what they plan on doing about it. Pete Van Horn volunteers to investigate to see if the power outage is city wide or just the neighborhood.

Just after Pete leaves a young boy claims he knows what is happening. He shows the adults one of his comic books with a story about aliens coming down, assuming human appearance, and living in the neighborhood for a while – while they plan their attack.

At first the adults don’t believe the story until one of the neighbor’s lights go on in his house. Then someone else’s car starts for no reason. As things are going on and off randomly the people start to accuse each other of being the aliens. The fear and hostility of the neighborhood grows. When Pete Van Horn comes back one of the neighbors shoots him because he thought he was an alien.

As a full-scale riot breaks out, the camera pans outward and upward revealing two aliens sitting atop a hill overlooking Maple Street. They comment on how all they need to do is switch on and off a few lights and the people of Earth will destroy themselves.

Epilogue:
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, prejudices. To be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill, and suspicion can destroy, and the frightened, thoughtless search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own: for the children, and the children yet unborn. And the pity of it is that these things can not be confined to the Twilight Zone.

Lost Tie In:
Jacob and the Unknown man seen at the beginning of the season five finale, are the two aliens. They are the ones manipulating mankind, one group of people at a time. They leave the Lost castaways to their own devices with minimum prodding on their part. Then they simply sit back and observe and learn what humanity really is.

Unknown Man: You’re still trying to prove me wrong.
Jacob: You are wrong!
Unknown Man: They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same.
Jacob: It only ends once. Anything that happens before that, it’s just progress.

The question before us is simple. Who are the real monsters? The aliens that are manipulating the power on Maple Street? Or perhaps the citizens of Maple street and how fear and prejudice blind us so quickly and completely that we behave like monsters?

I'll leave that up to you, in the Twilight Zone.

Naked Thought Screen Helmet Leaders

Thought Screen Helnet Leaders

This exclusive never before seen photograpg of the alleged leaders of the evil race of aliens controlling the a vast majority of the Earth's population. The photo was taken in Elkhart, Indiana, just outside the property line of the Winnebago plant that President Obama toured just months ago. It would appear that these evil space aliens have set up a base in an abandoned home in the suburbs.

The aliens skin appears to have a shiny silvery metallic surface. Both are wearing some sort of protective face shield speculated by the Grassy Knoll Institute scientists to perhaps amplify their telepathic energy enabling to better hone in on the local population of abductee's. We can also assume that the weather was a bit nippy that morning.

WARNING!

Keep wearing your velostat thought screen helmets to stop alien abductions.

Lost Update - A Tale Of Two Cabins

Lost Update - Summer Of Lost - 08/11/2009

News Flash Lost fans!!!
I was re-watching the season five finale of Lost last night, and I noticed something startling that I did not before. About forty minutes into the two hour finale, Sawyer, Kate, and Juliet, (The big rack blond) were walking through the jungle and happened upon Rose and Bernard and Walt's dog Vincent. Rose and Bernard were separated from the group during the flaming arrow episode and the two have been living in harmony ever since in a little cabin by the woods.

So what! Big deal! What is the big news flash? Well, a few minutes past that scene, when Juliet declined to have tea with Rose and Bernard saying perhaps another time, the scene switched to Lapidus and the other group of others carting the silver crate holding the body of John Locke. Just where did they land up. That's right, they wound up at Jacob's cabin, which is Rose and Bernard's humble abode.

Take a closer look at both scenes. The huge tree on the right side, the cabin, the lay of the land. Rose and Bernard's cabin is the same as Jacob's.

Just how does this tie in to my Lost theory? I know Lost hasn't aired a new show since May, but come on, you couldn't have forgotten my theory already can you? In case you are new here, or need a refresher course...

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting a long time to tell you…..
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

At the end of season five, the ying and yang became the main focus. Good versus evil. Right and wrong. Good and bad. From the pilot episode where Locke played backgammon with Walt and the camera focused on the white and black board pieces, to the black and white stones, right down to Jacob and the unknown man. One wore white pants and the other black. Even Rose and Bernard, a white man and a black woman.

Here you go kids, for something to think about until season six begins. Jacob and the unknown man clearly hate each other. So much so that the unknown man has been searching for a loophole to kill Jacob. Certainly a failed relationship. But just listen what Rose and Bernard told Sawyer, Kate and Juliet that they have been living in peace and harmony for the past several years. They had achieved exactly what everyone is searching for in life.

The ying and the yang my friends. For every experiment, there are always variables. For Jacob and the unknown man, the results were always the same. Remember this conversation at the beginning of season five finale?
Unknown Man: You’re still trying to prove me wrong.
Jacob: You are wrong!
Unknown Man: They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same.
Jacob: It only ends once. Anything that happens before that, it’s just progress.

But not for Rose and Bernard. They are the exception. The Yang. Is this what all the experiments wanted to accomplish? Peace and harmony. Rose and Bernard.

Until the next update, Get Lost!

Thought Screen Helmet Wearers On The Go

Hello, Yes, Is This Gary Busey

Thought Screen Helmet wearers have a new choice to the shut in lives they now lead thanks to the newly designed Though Screen Helmet phone. (Many citizens must wear a thought screen helmet to prevent being abducted by telepathic aliens linked to them)

Manufactured at the secret laboratory of the Grassy Knoll Institute, this new and improved thought screen helmet allows wearers to freely go where no thought screen helmeter has gone before. (With no roaming charges with a two year activation plan)

A new formula comprised of a clear coat velostat polymer allows the helmet to stay cool in the summer and let the sunshine in. It also doubles as a handy phone booth. (Twenty five cents for local calls)

Now In reputable stores where anti alien abduction technology is sold. See us at the Comic Con in San Diego this July.

UFO Over Gatlinburg Tennessee

A disturbance photographed in the Gatlinburg, Tennessee night sky is now being called a UFO. Last night thousands of people witnessed an unidentified flying object hovering above Old Airport Road. The object was brightly lit and pulsated changing colors as it rapidly ascended into the night sky. It seemed to be rotating ever so slowly and from our vantage point, it made absolutely no noise whatsoever. The object stayed in the night sky for over three hours until it's lights went black and it whisked away into the heavens.

Of course the Grassy Knoll Institute rocket scientists were present to capture the UFO on film. Thousands of eyewitnesses claimed to have seen this UFO many times before in almost the exact same position in the night sky.

By using the moon, (The object in the upper left hand corner of the photograph) a comparative size can be ascertained. Upon initial investigation, it has been determined that the object is at least 100 feet round and can easily hold 100 people. Perhaps this is some sort of transport alien ship that culls and herds us humans away for experimentation and sexual tests.

The Grassy Knoll Institute will continue it's investigation.

Stop Alien Abductions Telethon

I...Can...Help...You

This Sunday the Stop Alien Abductions Foundation will be airing a 24 hour telethon to highten awareness of the many sufferers who must wear thought screen helmets to prevent further alien abduction. The foundations goal is to raise awareness of a race of telepathic aliens set on world domination by controlling the thoughts of our political leaders and public figures. Check local listings for the TV channel in your area.

Special celebrity guest star Gary Busey will speak about his private battles with the little green alien bastards and how he beat them with sticks until they fled plus the several that he captured and now dines on regularly. Mister Gary Busey was overheard saying that he is not afraid of those pussy aliens and that he would eat the bastards like they were on the menu at an all you can eat IHOP restaurant. Join him for supper. It's a hoot. I can hear him now saying the word "Outstanding" just the way he pronounced it in his hit movie, Under Siege.

Lost Update - Season Five Finale - Turn Turn Turn

Lost Update - Season V Finale - 05/13/2009

To everything (turn, turn, turn)
There is a season (turn, turn, turn)
And a time for every purpose, under heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

A time to build up, a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time to love, a time to hate
A time for peace, I swear its not too late

With so many story line twists and turns ABC's Lost has had in it's five year run so far, tonight's choice for title and song lyrics was simple. And critical! The rock and roll band The Byrds made the song popular going all the way to #1 in 1965 but that isn't the reason the Grassy Knoll Institute chose this most important title for the season finale.

The lyrics were taken from the King James Bible, the book of Ecclesiastes, 3:1. King Solomon is strongly suggested as the author of the lyrics. Each line of the song depicts an event and core arc of the past five years of Lost and with only one season left, the last line offers some hope that Lost has not lost itself.

With such a strong biblical tie in for Lost over the past seasons, we the faithful viewers have endured the dreaded writers strike, DUI's forcing the termination of key characters, Richard Alpert's eyeliner, (RA) Sawyer and his lost shirt, Kate whoring around, Ben always lying, Locke in search for Jacob, Hurley in search for a sandwich, Jack flip flopping more often than IHOP, and the tantalizing Juliet Burke, and her amazing rack.

Just one more time for this season, I will explain how this all fits into my Grassy Knoll Institute's Lost theory, including Juliet's rack.
Although it appears the survivors of Oceanic flight 815 are on a tropical island, they are being deceived. There is no island. The survivors are in a virtual reality laboratory. All the castaways are interconnected to one another sharing each others thoughts, memories, and feelings. While in this virtual reality laboratory, a battery of physical and mental experiments are performed on them. And who is running these experiments? As Juliet stated, the Aliens of course.

In tonight's lost season five finale, we get a good look at Jacob, and we get a good look at the front of the statue, and we get a hell of a look at Juliet's rack. (Am I obsessing? I can never tell!)

Let me begin with the conversation Jacob and the unknown man were having on the beach as they watched the Black Rock ship come ashore.
Unknown Man: You're still trying to prove me wrong.
Jacob: You are wrong!
Unknown Man: They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt. It always ends the same.
Jacob: It only ends once. Anything that happens before that, it's just progress.

Tonight's episode, nay, the entire Lost series, has been about choice. And the test of courage, strength, love, hate, pain, and faith, that help cultivate that choice.

For five years, I have stated that the castaways have been in a state of virtual reality being studied and experimented on. I continue that belief with a stronger conviction than ever. The above conversation depicts exactly what happened to the Oceanic Flight 815 castaways. "They come, fight, they destroy, they corrupt." The same can be said for the Dharma Institute crew. And the French expedition. And the Black Rock ship. And the "Others!"

They were all given a scenario and allowed to play out said scenario to it's logical conclusion. As with any experiment, it must be conducted time and time again to prove the results. A control group and control scenario is implemented to achieve the best case pristine data. Hence, the island and two groups, the perceived good versus evil groups. Each group is then given a choice, and then tested on that choice. Notice during the previous five seasons characters changed, some becoming evil, some good, some becoming leaders, and some relinquishing the leader position.

This is what the unknown man was conveying to Jacob in the opening segment. The experiment always concludes the same way. Hence, the experiment is over. No need to continue. But for Jacob, he wanted more data. For what reasons. At this juncture, quite unknown.

What we do know are several constants. One, Ben always lies. It's what he does. Two, Richard is more than an eyeliner ageless man. Three, you knew it was coming, Juliet has a hell of a rack. Four, Kate's pants are becoming tighter as each season progresses. (Not that that is a bad thing mind you) Five, for a thug, Sawyer always gets his ass kicked. Tonight by a surgeon no less. Six, I thought I would have ten, but we'll keep it at five.

To bolster my virtual reality theory, let's analyze Jacob and his interactions with the castaways.

Jacob meets Kate as a young girl as she is stealing a lunch box. This is when Kate's path turned for the bad. Jacob even asks Kate if she is ever going to steal again.

Jacob meets Sawyer as a young man. At his parents funeral, while he was writing his hate and revenge note that would shape his life. Jacob offers his pen to help Sawyer complete his note.

Jacob meets Sayid at the exact moment Nadia gets run over and murdered turning Sayid into a hateful and vengeful man. He tells Sayid he thinks he's Lost!

Jacob meets Ilana. While at the hospital, where she has apparently went through a horrific accident. Jacob asks if he can count on her. She nods yes.

Jacob meets Locke just after he was pushed by his father out the window left to die.

Jacob meets Jin and Sun at their wedding offering them a toast in perfect Korean. A marraige that set in motion Jin's job as a brute roughing people up for money and Sun's adulterous life.

Jacob meets Jack, right after Jack's first surgery, where he got dressed down by his father in the OR. This was the start of his hatred for his father. Jacob said all he needed was a little push.

Jacob meets Hugo at the mental hospital. Tells Hugo he has a choice, to either get on the plane, or not to.

All of these interactions with Jacob were scientists interviewing possible candidates for their experiment. A test group of varying cultures, beliefs, age, sex, (Yes please!) health, and back ground. I'm sure as season six unfolds, we will learn that Jacob has met all the castaways at some point in their lives.

Before I get back to my theory, allow me to present some
Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* What's in the crate? Sort of like What's in the hatch in season two.

* Locke was in the crate. And dead. Not just mostly dead, but completely dead.

* Rose and Bernard surface. They have been living in peace and harmony for the past three years by themselves. Perhaps they are the one anomaly of the experiment and perhaps why Jacob wants to continue his research. Perhaps there is hope for humanity after all.

* The ash around Jacob's hut was broken.

* About the hut, did you see the tree to the right of the hut? It reminded me of the tree of life that was spoken about in the Bible.

* Richard Alpert. (RA) Or Ra, the Egyptian god.

* Ben asks, what about me?

* We die together, not alone.

* Notice the statue. In my April 30th update, Eclipse, I stated: Food for thought for the upcoming season five finale.

Ben, Jacob, Richard, Widmore, Faraday, and Locke. Can one or all of these men be the famed Egyptian god Horus, the son of Osiris and Isis? Legend has it that Horus was conceived magically after the death of his father (Osiris) and Isis (His mother) hid him away on an island to protect him from Set. He was worshipped as a child and was adamant to gain his mother’s protection for the worshipper.

I am throwing this out there for the finale will reveal the front of the statue, the four toed statue that was shown briefly in several episodes so far. The statue is Taweret, the Egyptian goddess of motherhood and protector.

The Season five finale will be the beginning of the end for the time travel arc and will push season six in a new direction. A virtual reality direction. It’s my time now.

* I checked Jacob and the unknown man wearing the sandals, to see if he had four or five toes, he had five.

* And finally, the very end, when the Lost logo appeared. Notice that it was reversed, dark letters against a white back ground instead of the standard white letters against the dark back ground. Perhaps signaling that once was good, is now bad, once was right, is now wrong.

I'll leave you with one more argument about my theory. For this, we must have a flash back of our very own. Come with me on this journey. I will return you safely, I promise.

Look at the scenario the writers painted. Time travel, not just once, and not just people, but the entire island, and not just that, but some went back in time, some went to the future, and some interacted with themselves. How does one explain that in one theory?

So we have that. We also have the people that have died on the show that come back to life. And interact with the people that are alive. John Locke is a prime example. Ben killed him. Now he is back. How does one explain that in a theory?

Wait, there's more. The island also heals people. But not everyone. The island heals only the people it wants to heal. Like Locke, who was crippled but can now walk. And Rose. And Charlie. But not Ben. How does one explain that in a theory?

Not to mention a mysterious invisible man named Jacob that lives in a cabin and runs the entire island. How does one explain that in a theory?

Richard Alpert. A man that doesn't age. (And wears to much eyeliner) How does one explain that in a theory?

The smoke monster. Enough said there. A freaking smoke monster loose on the island that attacks people at will. How does one explain that in a theory?

There are only two ways to explain all these strange occurrences happening on the island. Either it's a remake of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone, or the castaways are in a virtual reality simulation being experimented on.

I now return control of your computer screen to you. But wait,...

Attention Lost Fans! Just because the season finale has aired doesn't mean the updates will stop coming. All summer long I will be spotlighting the entire cast of characters and how they fit into the canon of Lost lore.

Next Week's update will spot light five castaways.

Until next week, Get Lost!
