Lost Update - Season V - 02/18/2009
I know its too late now,
But, I wish I could go back in time,
And start all over somehow,
And get it right from the start.
Find your way back.
Find your way back to her heart.
As the song lyrics above say, they found the way back to the island.
Did you notice anything familiar about how Lost opened tonight? A close up of Jack's eye, him lying in the jungle, in his suit. You, you win the prize. That's how the series began. Jack had made it back. Ready to resume his life on the island and that falls right in line with my own theory.
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.
Tonight will be a direct get to the point update. I hope everyone is a fast reader. If not, it's OK, just read slower. Ready.
Ben always lies. When he said he didn't know about the Lamp Post, (Dharma owned) Mrs. Hawkings replied, he's probably lying. And he was.
The key to tonight's episode was when Desmond couldn't believe that the Oceanic Six willingly wanted to return to the island with the aid of Mrs. Hawkings. Desmond was disgusted and blurted out something to this effect; They don't care about us. They're playing a game with us, we're just pieces to them.
As I stated several weeks ago making the comparison of the Xbox 360 video game my son was playing and how after he lost, he merely reset the game and the parameters and began again from the beginning. Exactly what was happening tonight. The castaways are in there own type of video game, a virtual reality experiment.
Let's suppose that you were getting pretty good at a particular video game. You keep playing until you get it right and win. You make sure that you have the same parameters that got you to the top level, such as the correct maps, best guns, ammo, med kits, and partners. If you have the experienced people playing with you, your odds get better to win.
That is why Hawkings said that all six needed to be on that plane, or the outcome would be unpredictable. Like the video game if you have a new player and don't know their personality and game skills.
Also why Jack needed to use Locke as a proxy for his father. He needed to get as close as possible to the previous flight so as to produce the same results. Jack brings his fathers shoes, sort of like selecting the correct map or right ammo.
Flight 316 is the flight they need to be on to get back to the island. That will be key in episodes ahead.
Locke is dead. And next week he's alive. I don't care if the island is moving, or a giant electromagnetic field is below or above the island, or if they are traveling through time, or any other explanation and theory you can think up, (Except one, mine) the fact is John Locke was dead and now he's alive.
Some will say that he died in the past. If he did. Then how was he alive in the future and meet the castaways.
Some will say he died in the future. If he did, then how did he leave the island and go to the mainland and die?
See the paradox here? There can be only one explanation. That's right, virtual reality.
Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:
* Ben tells Jack the story of Doubting Thomas. And how he had to see and touch the wounds of Jesus before he could believe.
* Staying with Jesus, Ben also says that Thomas also was the one who said they should all go with Jesus and die together. See what Ben was telling Jack. Yes, Ben is Jesus and the castaways are his apostles.
* Ben was all bloodied when he called Jack to pick up Locke's body. Methinks he was settling a score with Widmore. Killing Penny perhaps.
* Hey, tonight was yet another plane crash. How will Widmore explain this crash like he did with Oceanic flight 815?
* Jack and Kate do the horizontal.
* Kate tells Jack not to ever ask her about Aaron, Claire's son who she was taking care of.
* And finally, The song title and lyrics tonight are from the rock band Jefferson Starship, Find Your Way Back. Exactly what was unfolding in tonight's episode. Yes I know, god choice.
Until next week, Get LOST!
