The Future Is Behind Us

Roswell Crash Aliens Were Humans From The Future

The CIA Reluctantly Releases Top Secret Document Of The 1947 Roswell, New Mexico UFO Crash

The document included a photograph (See Photo Above) along with top-secret Washington, D.C. files from the United States Air Force. The document specifically mentioned Roswell, new Mexico and the crash of an unidentified flying object in 1947. The photo and document were time stamped June 30th, 1950.

After 61 years, the transcript of the conversation of the four men and the alleged space man has come to print. In essence, the space man is not an alien, but a human from the future. He claimed he was returning to Washington when upon re-entry into the space-time continuum, his ship malfunctioned and crashed almost 2000 miles off course in a remote area in New Mexico. Roswell became the UFO capital of the world shortly after.

Major Tom White, (Spaceman) returned to Earth with a message to hopefully change the future. Major White attempted to warn the White House in 1951 of the future Kennedy assassination in 1963 in Dealey Plaza, Dallas, Texas, November 22nd, 1963. It appears the four CIA agents didn't take Major Tom seriously.

Major Tom made one more effort to broadcast his warning and relayed the message in code to a columnist, Jeanne Dixon. The psychic. Dixon managed to secure an audience with an aid of President Kennedy but alas, the message was not delivered in time to prevent the assassination.

Lost Update: Love Is In The Air

Lost Update - Season Six - 04/13/2010

Love is in the air
Everywhere I look around
Love is in the air
Every sight and every sound

And I don't know if I'm just dreaming
Don't know if I feel sane
But it's something that I must believe in
And it's there when you call out my name

(Chorus)

And I don't know if you're an illusion
Don't know if I see it true
But you're something that I must believe in
And you're there when I reach out for you

I told you Libby would be back! And Michael! And I told you all years ago that Desmond was able to control both universes. All this and more has come to fruition according to my Lost theory.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been telling you for six years so what's a few more times between friends...
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 the theme music, Love Is In The Air, performed by John Paul Young, an oldie but goodie, is the heart of the matter for the gentle giant, Hugo Reyes. He meets up with Libby in the alternate reality. I TOLD YOU YEARS AGO THAT LIBBY WOULD MAKE ANOTHER APPEARANCE ON LOST! The lyrics suggest that Hugo may be dreaming, and perhaps insane, buts it's something he must believe in, go all in, go for broke, and that's what he does with Libby. It's a great love story and all, but there was much more going on tonight than meets the eye.

Lets begin with Desmond making the rounds in the alternate reality meeting up with the Lost castaways. Much like a certain someone who did the exact same thing and then got stabbed and kicked into a fire by a vicious smoke monster. Yes, we're talking about Jacob. Notice how Desmond in the last several episodes interacted with all the castaways just as Jacob did. Perhaps Desmond is Jacob in the alternate reality. Or perhaps Desmond is the new Jacob. Or is Jacob.

That alone would be enough to complete this episode but there is more. Much more. What we have been witnessing in season six is the confluence of realities of the castaways. And Desmond is their guide. (A sort of Hitch Hikers Guide To The Universe type - Not always knowing what he's doing, but getting the job done nonetheless)

Season six has been structured to reveal small intervals of life on the mainland for the castaways and revealing small intervals of life on the island. As the season progresses, each character's realities are merging, becoming one. With the aid of Desmond. Both realities are moving down stream to converge and pool at the end of the journey.

Case in point. Libby remembers both realities, tries to convince Hugo but at first he believes she is crazy. It's not until they kiss that all the memories of the island come flooding back for Hugo. Both realities are melding into one. And Desmond was there to see and assist. Libby's doctor told Hugo that she has issues with reality which she conveys to Hugo explaining about the island, plane crash, and experiences there. Hugo jokes that she and he were in some bizarro alternate universe.

There is still more. The voices in the jungle that Hurley and the castaways hear. Not only are they the dead people coming to visit but the past, present, and future of the island realities converging.

Years ago, I stated that the castaways were all interconnected, in a VR experiment, their thoughts being controlled by input stimuli and various psychological scenario's to study human emotion. I also stated that Desmond somehow learned how to control the VR, and influenced the outcome to his favor. He does the impossible, finding the needle in the haystack, Penny, his love. He also warns the castaways of certain events. He also saves Charlie countless times from death. He realizes the time loop he is stuck in.

My theory has arrived in full force.

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:
* Doctor Chang is back, the MC for Hurley.
* Libby is back and crazy as ever.
* Michael is back, and is dead as ever.
* Ilana went boom. Goodbye Ilana.
* Young Jacob is back. And Desmond saw him as well.
* Desmond meets up with Hurley in the alternate reality.
* Desmond states the island has it in for everyone.
* Desmond meets Ben in the alternate reality.
* Desmond meets and runs over John Locke injuring him severely.
* Michael appears to Hurley, tells him not to blow up the plane or everyone will die and it will be his fault.
* Hugo blows the black rock to smithereens.
* Hugo lies. Tells the group he is getting instructions from Jacob.
* Richard calls his bluff, proves he's lying. Jack doesn't care, he says he trusts Hugo.
* Richard, Miles, and Ben go to blow up the plane.
* The voices, people who are stuck on the island who can't move on. There Fox, there is your shout out.
* Smoky and Desmond at the well. Smoky asks Desmond why isn't he afraid?
* Smoky tosses Desmond into the well.
* Desmond interacts with Ben Linus.
* Desmond runs over Locke.
* Did I hear Charlie and the chocolate factory music in the background for next week's preview?

Only a few more episodes of Lost to go. I cannot wait for the finale.

Lost Update - Thunder Only Happens When It Is Raining

Lost Update - Season Six - 04/06/2010

Now here I go again, I see, the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and...
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness...
Like a heartbeat drives you mad...
In the stillness of remembering
What you had
And what you lost...
What you had...
Ooh, what you lost

Tonight we finally got to see Desmond's sideways flash. He meets up with Charles Widmore, his both and business partner, Charlie, who he is keeping safe until a concert is performed, Claire, at the airport, Jack, in the hospital, Hurley, at the airport, Faraday, Eloise, and Penny. Desmond has a perfect job, power, money, influence, and the respect of Charles Widmore. So much so that he shares a drink of 60 year of MacCutcheon scotch. The trouble is, none of its real. And just like Desmond, I've been going round and round with my theory for six years.

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.

In Desmond's sideways flash, he had a fantastic life. He was rich, respected, traveled the world, all the perks of wealth, with no emotional ties. He was Widmore's right hand man, his go to man, and even shared that elusive scotch.

However, Desmond has been thrust into yet another psychological experiment. This time around, he has been given everything in life. Except the one thing he truly wanted. Penny's love. Desmond's constant. Without Penny, Desmond was a ship without an anchor, listing off the shore, waiting to dock. When he meets Penny in this new scenario, he is truly happy.

Stay with me, for just a little bit longer. I stated several years ago that Desmond became aware of the time loop he was in. Of all the different scenario's he was placed in. Saving Charlies life countless times, pushing the button, being with Penny, and waking up and doing it all over again. No matter how he tried to change the course of events, it always ended the same way. Desmond knew this after saving charlie from death countless times. What happens, happened.

The question is why is Desmond and all the other castaways being put through these scenario's? I told you before. The one's doing the experiments and resting liken us to cattle, primates, less evolved. It's aliens manipulating them in a vast virtual reality laboratory. The best way to harvest accurate test results is to have the subjects unaware of outside influence.

I'll add one more bit of information before we get to the tidbits of tonight's episode. When Desmond was talking to Daniel, (Faraday - Widmore) Daniel told him that he had a dream, and while dreaming, he wrote a scientific equation in his notebook. Desmond asked him what it meant but Daniel had no idea. He took it to a friend on campus and was told it was formula's of quantum mechanics so advanced, a person would have to have studied for years just to begin to understand it.

Again, and I'll only state this 6 more times this year, it's alien technology that Daniel was somehow able to extract during one of his many virtual reality scenario's. It's part of how they are all controlled, how they can experience time travel while not really going anywhere. How the castaways are cast into multiple scenario's. How the castaways can have varying personalities. How the castaways choose good over evil, or evil over good. Even life and death itself. Over and over. Until they are finished with them. Until the island is finished with them. Until the aliens have collected enough data and are satisfied with said results.

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* Desmond to Charlie: There's always a choice.

* Daniel is Widmore's son.

* Eloise tells Desmond to just stop looking. Perhaps that is how Desmond will end his loop. By simply stopping.

* Daniel tells Desmond, what if we had some other life and we're not supposed to be living this one.

* Daniel believes he may have already detonated the nuclear bomb.

* No smoke monster tonight.

* Desmond and Charlie drowning, Charlies shows his hand to Desmond with Not Penny's Boat written on it. Just like in past scenario.

* Drive Shaft song. You All Everybody is playing on radio.

*Widmore chances Desmond's life with risky experiment. Desmond survives.

* Sayid kills Widmore's men, tells Zoe to run and tells Desmond that they are very bad men. Desmond seems to know, and goes along with Sayid.

* Penny, while in the stadium, if you look closely, has a wardrobe malfunction and a nipple slip occurs as she is running down the stadium stairs. (No, not really. Just hoping it was so)

* Charlie, right before he died on the plane, saw true love, a beautiful blond woman, could be Claire. That's my guess.

* Jumping ahead, in Jack's upcoming sideway flash, his wife is Juliet, and she is secretly seeing Sawyer. Just throwing it out there, just guessing. Fodder for next week.

* Desmond wants Oceanic Flight 815's manifest.

Until Next Week, Get Lost.

LURKING, STILL LOST ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Lost Update - The Teacher

Lost Update - Season Six - 03/09/2010

Well the dawn was coming,
heard him ringing on my bell.
He said, ``My name's the teacher,
that is what I call myself.
And I have a lesson
that I must impart to you.
It's an old expression
but I must insist it's true.

Jump up, look around,
find yourself some fun,
no sense in sitting there hating everyone.
No man's an island and his castle isn't home,
the nest is for nothing when the bird has flown.''

So I took a journey,
threw my world into the sea.
With me went the teacher
who found fun instead of me.

Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
what I was looking for, got something on my mind.

Then the teacher told me
it had been a lot of fun.
Thanked me for his ticket
and all that I had done.

Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
what I was looking for, got something on my mind.

Lucifer was one of the most beautiful angels in all of heaven. So much so that he believed he could rival the Lord and plotted against him with a band of other recruited angels. God banished Lucifer to the pits of Hell for all eternity and turned him into an ugly offensive beast. Ever since the dawn of time Lucifer has been scheming to break free from Hell and return to Heaven to claim what we most desired. The kingdom of Heaven.

Throughout history, there are stories of great men and women being tempted by Lucifer during their time of weakness. Lucifer would promise what they so desired most. (Money, power, love, revenge) Some resisted, some did not. Even Jesus himself was tempted by Lucifer while he fasted in the desert for 40 days. Lucifer mocked Jesus telling him to rise up and end his own suffering and take a drink of water and to strike down the Roman guard readying to crucify him. Jesus resisted.

I'm telling you this bible story because it runs parallel with the last several episodes of Lost. MIB is Lucifer, the angel cast out of Heaven into the pits of Hell. (The island) He recruits an army of followers to overthrow the temple, (Heaven) leaving all others dead. He promises candidates what they so most desire to gain their allegiance. He even mocks Jacob, (Jesus) claiming what he does is a waste of time. And why does MIB (Lucifer) do all this? To get off the island.

There is your shout out to all the religion theorists, believing that the castaways are all dead, or in purgatory, or hell and need to prove themselves for redemption to move on.

However, that isn't what's happening on the island. My theory is far from this theory. Although, it can be easily incorporated as one of the many variables and scenario's being simultaneously being played out on the island.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting since Genesis 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's episode is a continuation of the final conflict, an epic battle between good and evil. The Rapture comes to mind here, (Yet another bible reference) where the line is drawn in the sand. The good on the right, the evil on the left. How you choose is critical to your human life and your spiritual soul. Case in point, when MIB entered the temple as smoky. He killed all those who opposed him and gathered the rest as reluctant followers.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the island, the good side of the island, Llana, Ben, Sun, Lapedus, Miles, Hurley, Jack, and Richard were setting up camp at the site of the original crash of Oceanic 815.

Folks, this is all an experiment, a test of human nature. Conducted under the shroud of virtual reality. Unwilling and unknowing participants believing what they see and fell is real. In essence, a perfect laboratory where exact data can be recorded and studied. In this scenario, drawing from deep rooted religious beliefs, God, Lucifer, heaven, Hell, the after life, the castaways are pitted against each other in a battle of good and evil. On one side, MIB, (Lucifer) will take the charge against the good (Followers of Jacob) in a winner take all struggle to the death.

Imagine if you will a young adult playing Xbox 360. After playing the same game for awhile, he becomes good at the game, he adapts to the surroundings, anticipates the computers next move, and easily defeats the game. However, when he reloads the game and dials the skill level up a notch, the game becomes much harder, with more surprises. The castaways have been in this continuous loop for a long time. They know how to play the game. Case in point. Jack with Richard while the fuse is burning toward the dynamite. He tells Richard he will not die. He knows the game. He sees the end game. He knows this is not how it ends.

The virtual reality tests have conditioned the castaways readying them for this final epic battle. Each scenario previous was dialed up a notch until they are now all at expert level. What comes next is pure human instinct. Survival. At what cost! Will the castaways murder in cold blood to survive? Will they murder loved ones in order to stay alive? That is the end game folks. Level 9, and the ones who survive, win the game.

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* Ben teaches about Elba, the island Napolean was banished to after the war. He kept the title of Emperor but without power, titles meant nothing.

*Sun is a candidate.

* Miles gives up Ben to Llana stating Ben killed Jacob.

* Llana is pissed. Chains Ben to the ground and makes him dig his own grave.

* Richard tells Jack he was touched by Jacob and received a great gift.

* He tells Jack that he needs to go and die. Runs off into the jungle.

* Richard tells Jack he cannot kill himself. Exactly what happened to Michael. Michael tried to kill himself many times but always failed.

* Richard is dejected, said he followed Jacob for many many years. That jacob told him he had a plan, and that richard fit into the plan. That things were happening for a reason. But now Jacob is dead and his life is useless.

* Jack lights the dynamite, telling Hurley, if he wants to die, so be it.

* The fuse burns out just as Jack had predicted earlier.

* MIB frees Ben, tells him to come to the Hydra station.

* MIB tells Ben to shoot Llana with the rifle. He does not.

* All Ben wants is to be loved..... And to have all the power of the island once again.

* Ben in his sideways flash, does not betray Alex as he had on the island. Instead, he changes her fate, and his, for the good.

* The sub arrives, Widmore looks pissed.

Until next week, Get Lost!

Lost Update: Watching The Wheel

Lost Update - Season Six - 02/23/2010

People say I'm crazy, doing what I'm doing,
Well they give me all kinds of warnings, to save me from ruin,
When I say that I'm OK they look at me kind of strange,
Surely your not happy now, you no longer play the game,

People say I'm lazy, dreaming my life away,
Well they give me all kinds of advice, designed to enlighten me,
When I tell that I'm doing Fine watching shadows on the wall,
Don't you miss the big time boy, you're no longer on the ball?

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go,

Welcome All Candidates! Apparently almost everyone that was a passenger on Oceanic flight 815 is a candidate to assume the duties of Jacob, the dead deity of the Lost island. Even Hurley. Jacob told him so. The dead Jacob, who told him to go to the light house, the light house that no one ever saw before on the island. The same light house that will shine a little light on my Lost theory.

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.

Last week we got a glimpse of the infamous numbers that keep appearing on Lost. We found out that the numbers are assigned to names. The castaways names. Tonight, we got to see a much bigger list, hundreds of names on a light house wheel set at degrees. Hundreds of names with lines through them and a few still active ones including Shephard, Kwon, and Jarrah. But what does any of that have to do with virtual reality experimentation? EVERYTHING!

Six years ago I theorized that the castaways were in a virtual reality state of unconsciousness. While in this state, experiments, both mental and physical, were performed on them. They were inserted into a selected 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 has 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.

Tonight we got a glimpse on how the castaways are studied. Did you notice the mirrors in the light house as Hurley was winding the come-a-long chain setting it to 108 degrees. Jack saw flashes in the mirror, one of an Oriental structure, perhaps Kwon's home, and another scene depicting what I think may have been Philadelphia. Jack then noticed names on the lens dial. Hundreds of names. Many of them with lines through them. Each name had a specific number on the dial. Jacks name was next to number 23, one of the infamous numbers.

Jack then tells Hurley to stop and move the dial to 23 degrees. (Jacks number) Jack sees his childhood house. he says they've been watching me for a long time.

The light house was the blind, or lack of a better term, the control room. To the virtual reality unconscious castaways, they were led to believe they were seeing a light house on the island. In reality, it was the control room of the laboratory where the castaways are, laid out in stasis, interconnected to one another. As a new scenario is introduced, much like a new video game level is achieved, each castaways absorbs that thought pattern and processes it and the new scenario begins. They are then intently studied for behavior changes, mood swings, violence, love, hate, compassion, empathy. As Jacob said, he won't stop until he gets it right.

The mirrors are an important part of the virtual reality world. With multiple mirrors, one can have multiple lives, multiple planes of existence. Jack saw one such reality, the house he grew up in. He is also aware of his life on the island. And the one three years prior. And the one on the island in the 1970's. And the one in 2004 on the mainland. And the one with a son named David. Get the idea here. Every castaways is living in multiple planes of existence while every nuance of their experience there is being recorded and studied. For what purpose, we will find out in the series finale.

The group watching the castaways use the mirrors to keep tabs on each castaways multiple lives. Sort of like changing the channel on the television set. And who is this group? As Juliet told Sawyer. "The aliens of course!"

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* Jack notices his scar on his stomach, seems to remember his wound on the island. Jack has a son named David. Who is a very talented pianist who is a candidate.

* Jacob tells Hurley someone is coming to the island and he needs to help him find it.

* Hurley tells Jack, "You have what it takes!" It sets him off.

* Claire has become Danielle. Danielle lost her baby, was stranded on the island with her expedition, and slowly one by one vanished. She also lived in the jungle alone, and tortured the people she captured in hopes of finding information about her child. This is exactly what we saw tonight in Claire. Perhaps, like in video games, the player changed his character and now Danielle became Claire.

* Jacks dad. Lost both on and off the island. Jack is searching for him both on and off the island. Coincidence? I think not!

* Jack came back to the island because he was broken and hoped the island could fix him. Boy, was he wrong.

* The light house. Jacks wonder aloud why no one ever saw it before.

* Jack smashes all the mirrors in anger.

* Jacob tells Hurley Jack is destined for something important and he must find it in himself to understand what it is he needs to do.

* MIB is Claire's friend. He's been feeding her bogus info on the others and her son, Aaron.

* Jin lies to Claire about Kate raising Aaron, perhaps to save her life.

Until next week, I'll leave you with the remainder of the lyrics of John Lennon's song, Watching The Wheel.

People asking questions lost in confusion,
Well I tell them there's no problem,
Only solutions,
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind,
I tell them there's no hurry...
I'm just sitting here doing time,

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round,
I really love to watch them roll,
No longer riding on the merry-go-round,
I just had to let it go.

LURKING, STILL LOST ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Lost Update: Static (A Twilight Zone Special)

Respectfully Submitted For Your Approval

Lost Update 02/22/2010

Greetings from another dimension of sight, sound, and imagination. Prepare yourselves for another Lost / Twilight Zone comparison. (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. I argue that 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 offering is from season two, episode number 56, original air date, March 03, 1961, titled, Static.

As you read the opening monologue, plot synopsis, and epilogue, think about Lost and the season six premiere. As usual, I will explain the tie in below.

Monologue:

Retired old Ed Lindsay retrieves his ancient radio from the boarding house basement. He asks one of the boys intently watching him, "Don't you know what a radio is?". The boy says that of course he has, just not quite lick that. Rod Serling appears standing at the top of the basement steps:

"No one ever saw one quite like that, because that's a very special sort of radio. In its day, circa 1935, its type was one of the most elegant consoles on the market. Now, with its fabric-covered speakers, its peculiar yellow dial, its serrated knobs, it looks quaint and a little strange. Mr. Ed Lindsay is going to find out how strange very soon, when he tunes in to the Twilight Zone."

Plot Synopsis:

Ed Lindsay is an irritable bachelor in his late fifties. He lives in a dull boarding house where much of his time is consumed watching what he calls worthless and mindless programs. Not able to take it anymore, Ed retrieves his old radio from storage in the basement. When Ed was younger and happier, he enjoyed the radio and was one of his favorite forms of entertainment. Ed brought the radio to his room and plugged it in. He was amazed as to what he heard playing. It was programs from the 30's and 40's from big bands no longer alive. He tried to tell the others of his miraculous radio, but when he turned it on for them, all they heard was static. By making several phone calls, he found that the radio station he was listening to was off the air for over 13 years.

Later we learn that Ed intended to marry the love of his life twenty years ago but he kept letting other things get in the way until it was to late. Vinnie, a 50 something female boarder tells Ed that the past cannot be recovered and he should let it go. She leaves Ed's room and returns to her own. Ed turns on the radio once again and magically Ed transforms into a much younger man, twenty years younger. Vinnie runs into Ed's room young again as well. The radio offers Ed another chance to relive his life and finally get things right this time around.

Epilogue:

Around and around she goes, and where she stops nobody knows. All Ed Lindsay knows is that he desperately wanted a second chance and he finally got it, through a strange and wonderful time machine called a radio.... in the Twilight Zone.

Lost Tie In:

Remember way back in season one when Sayid and Hurley had the transmitter high atop the hill? Do you remember what they heard from the transmitter? That's right, they heard 1930's and 40's big band music. Sayid remarks, "What is that?" Hurley replies, "When is that?" Sayid looks at him strangely and then Hurley tells him, "Just kidding dude!"

Lost has always been about redemption, righting the wrongs from the past. The castaways have been given that opportunity in the form of traveling back in time, approximately 20-25 years, to fix what was broken. It doesn't mean that they will succeed, but they were given another chance at life.

just like Ed Lindsay from the Twilight Zone was given. What they do/did with that chance yet remains to be seen.

LURKING 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?

LURKING, STILL LOST ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Five Characters In Search Of An Exit

Summer Of Lost Update 05/20/2009

Tonight we enter an unknown realm as small as an island and as infinite as the universe as we blend the saga of the castaways of Lost and the classic science fiction series The Twilight Zone.

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 offering is titled: Five Characters In Search Of An Exit.

Originally aired 12/22/1961 (Season 3) (Episode 79)

Prologue:
Clown. Hobo. Ballet Dancer. Bagpiper. And an Army Major. A collection of question marks. Five improbable entities stuck together into a pit of darkness. No logic, no reason, no explanation. Just a prolonged nightmare in which fear, loneliness, and the unexplainable walk hand in hand through the shadows. In a moment, we'll start collecting clues as to the whys, the whats, and the wheres. We will not end the nightmare, we'll only explain it, because this is the Twilight Zone.

Synopsis:
The Major awakens. He does not know exactly who he is or how he got to this place. And what kind of place it is? He is in the bottom of a featureless steel cylinder whose open end is many, many feet above. It’s a strange kind of prison.

But the Major is not alone. He first encounters a Clown… a sardonic, sarcastic joker who also has no idea what his real name is. Also present in the Cylinder are the Hobo, the Ballerina, and the Bagpipe Player. They have all been here for a long time but no one knows how long. There are many theories as to the why and where they are, but none are for sure. The ballet dancer thinks they all might be on a spaceship hurtling through space. The Major chimes in that perhaps they are all in hell.

And then there is the ear-shattering peal of a ringing bell that sounds at odd intervals. The Major is determined to escape the cylinder and learn the secret of where they are. The others have long ago given up hope but the Major’s fierce spirit energizes them. They concoct a plan where they will stand atop each other’s shoulders and use a rope made of fabric to throw a grappling hook over the edge of the cylinder.

After several heart-breaking failures, the Major maneuvers himself to the edge of the cylinder. He sees something! Something he cannot believe! He prepares to tell his fellow prisoners, but the giant roaring of the bells come again… and he loses his balance and falls outside the cylinder into the snow below. Here comes the Twilight Zone twist: They characters are dolls left in a Christmas charity drive donation barrel. A child picks up the major and puts him back into the barrel seeing that the doll has fallen out.

Epilogue:
Just a barrel, a dark depository where are kept the counterfeit, make-believe pieces of plaster and cloth, wrought in the distorted image of human life. But this added, hopeful note: perhaps they are unloved only for the moment. In the arms of children there can be nothing but love. A clown, a tramp, a bagpipe player, a ballet dancer and a major. Tonight's cast of players on the odd stage known as the Twilight Zone.

Lost Tie In:
Can you spot the similarities between Lost and the Twilight Zone?
The five characters represent the Lost castaways. A diverse bunch of people indeed. First and foremost, the TZ characters inquire where they are, and how they got there? Same goes for Lost. Some even say on screen, "Where the hell are we?" But let's get to the characters.

The Major, the focal point of the episode, is of course the alter ego of Jack Sheppard. Jack, the skilled surgeon, woke up on the island much like the army Major. Jack took charge of the castaways much like the army Major did. Jack energizes the castaways and sets them on to the task at hand, to secure survival.

Jack also got off the island just as the army Major got out of the cylinder only to find the twist of fate that set them right back where they started. Jack returned to the island winding up just as he arrived previously, opening his eyes on the island flat on his back. The army Major was tossed back into the cylinder by the little girl just as he arrived in the beginning.

The Clown:
Doesn’t the clown remind you of Sawyer? The wisecracking name calling know it all. A man hiding behind his feelings. And those funny glasses he wears to read. The clown as well as Sawyer seem to be skeptical of the plans and hierarchy of this small dynamic group of characters. Both the clown and Sawyer have to be pushed to assist. Both clown and Sawyer are not friendly people, and seem to have an agenda on their own.

The Hobo:
The hobo can only be Hugo Reyes. Hurley is dressed in semi ragged clothes, his hair is unkept, and his beard is unshaven. Hurley just wanted to escape it all. You can always find Hugo foraging for food and tinkering with beat up hunk a junk vans.

The Ballerina:
Shannon is the obvious choice here, (She was a ballet instructor) although Kate and Claire could certainly be inserted here as well. Shannon was the delicate pretty woman on the island. She really had no value other than a pretty face. However, she was useful when she was needed to translate the French distress call from the radio tower. The ballerina was also just a pretty face until they needed fabric from her outfit to make the rope needed to escape.

The Bagpiper:
Charlie Pace is a perfect fit. Charlie was a rock star who played guitar. Charlie, like the bagpiper, blended into the background scenery and was content to play second or third fiddle. (Pun intended) However, with Charlie, their goal could not have been achieved, and possibly like Lost when Charlie gave up his life to save the others, the outcome was the same.

The Bell:
On Lost, when Desmond turned the fail safe key, a mighty sound came from the heavens. It signaled the island shifting into a new time line. The bell, the mighty sound from the heavens on TZ, signaled another new arrival into the barrel.

The Barrel:
On TZ, the barrel, the round cylinder, was the universe of the dolls. They had no escape, no hope of rescue. For the Lost castaways, the island was their universe. They had no hope for rescue and were stranded on the island.

Until next week, Get Lost...

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!

LURKING ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Lost Update: Life From Both Sides Now

Lost Update - Season V - 05/06/2009

Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzy dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at life from both sides now
From win and lose and still somehow
It's life's illusions I recall
I really don't know life at all

John Locke is dead. However, for a dead guy, he sure does get around. He came to the island a broken man, both in body and spirit. In an instant he found his purpose, his path, his destiny. A moment later, he was dead, in a casket. Now he has come full circle, back on the island, taking his assumed rightful place as leader of his people. John Locke has come full circle. So much so that while on his journey, he spies his past self and has Richard Alpert assist and aid Locke in the past while present or future Locke and Ben looked on.

What if this is why we're here? I think we're on this island for a purpose. It's our destiny, it's why we're here. Who do you think said this? If you said Locke, you would be correct. You would also be correct if you said Jack. See what's happening here Lost fans? See how my Lost theory is all coming into place? What, you don't know my Lost theory? You must have been living in the past for the last 30 years.

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.

Lost season five finale will be all about the ying and the yang. White marble, black marble. Good and evil. Right and wrong. What was once odd, is now even. One who was once good, is now evil. I know, you don't believe me, but come on, the signs are right in front of you.

Let's start with Jack And John. (Locke) Jack is a nick name for John. See, they are one in the same already. When the series began, Jack didn't believe the island had special magical powers and rationalized that everything happening had a logical explanation. All he wanted to do was get everyone off the island and he would do whatever it took to complete his task.

John believed in the island, believed that it had special powers, and that he was placed there to protect the island. John did whatever it took to protect the island. Hell, he even died for the island.

Now look at Jack, the current Jack we are seeing. Let it be in 1977 or present time. He wanted to go back to the island. The same island he did everything he could to get off. Now he believes he is there for a purpose. To fulfill his destiny.

And now look at John. He is in command, (And also quite dead BTW) and instead of business as usual for the "Others" he stakes out a journey to visit Jacob with all the tribe. (I'll get back to jacob in a few minutes) He tells Ben that he is not going to seek his advice, but to kill Jacob and free the people from his rule.

Both Jack and John have done a complete 180. And there's more. There's always more.

Jin and Sun. Remember season one and two, Jin was the hotheaded husband getting into fights and skirmishes. His job on the mainland, (Real life) was being a thug for his wife's father. Now Jin is a kinder, gentler, man, one who learned English, who keeps his head together. But Sun, whoa, look out.

Sun, in the beginning was the meek and battered wife trying to flee from her husband but didn't have the strength to do so. And what happened later in the series. You bet, Sun is now the sexy bitch controling her father's empire and calling the shots. Both did a complete 180.

You want more? You got it.

Sawyer, the grifter, hustler, a man out for himself, seizing an opportunity to better himself at the expense of others. Sawyer looked out for himself. As the season's unfolded, Sawyer became a caring man, looking out for Hurley, and others, becoming a team player. He is now settled down with Juliet living the life of Leave It To Beaver's Ward and June Cleaver. Yup, a complete 180.

Why is this so important? Social psychology my friends. Imagine if you will, a laboratory so vast, say, the size of the big island of Hawaii, where the subjects of the social psychology experiment could roam wild and free. Imagine that the test subjects were unaware they were the focal point of said experiment. Imagine the clear pure data that could be collected in such an experiment.

And that is what is happening on Lost. Variables are inserted to make the test subjects react differently. The results are studied and new variables are added. The cycle never ends. Hence, like Desmond seeing Charlie killed many times over, is merely experiencing just one of the variables of the experiment. (Notice Desmond never sees Charlie die the same way)

To hammer this home, put yourself in this situation. Say you accepted to participate in an experiment for a psychology course from the local college. At that point, you know it is a test, and the results, no matter how accurately obtained, would be skewed because you knew it wasn't real life. You could make conscious decisions to alter the experiment with no danger to yourself. In essence, say or do what you think the professor wants you to say or do.

Now say you are in the same exact scenario of the experiment, but you are unaware that you are a test subject. Your actions would be pure, for you would believe it was real life.

That is what is being studied on the Lost island. Human behavior. Good versus Evil. Love and Hate. Alpha male. In a perfect environment. The data would be pristine. And when you were through with one scenario, simply change the variables and study how the humans react to the new settings.

I promised I'd get back to Jacob. Put in your mind what Locke said and did at the end of this episode. He banded the tribe together and set forth to find Jacob and put an end to the reign to a person no one has ever seen. Now I want you to follow the link below to one of my Lost Updates back on May 22nd, 2008 titled Old Man In The Cave. I want you to read that update again. Go ahead, I'll wait for you.

Good, you're back. Startling information isn't it? And I predicted this a year ago. Tonight's final scene was an exact replication of Rod Serling's Twilight Zone's Old Man In the Cave.

Bonus Lost coverage here folks. The burning question, (I hear these's an ointment for that) is, What lies in the shadow of the statue? Here's your answer and you heard it here first. Jughead. Yes, the bomb. It is under the statue in the caves where Eloise, Sayid, Jack, and Richard uncovered the bomb.

Tidbits On Tonights Episode:

* Juliet has one hell of a rack. Just saying.

* Locke is going to kill Jacob.

* Locke insinuates that Ben has never seen Jacob.

* Juliet has a hell of a rack. (I know, said that already, but she does)

* Richard Alpert watched them all die 30 years ago.

* Ben told Sun that Richard has been an advisor for a very very long time.

* Ben is impressed with Locke's timing as his past self comes out of the jungle.

* Juliet remarks about the real world, and that she can't remember it anymore.

* Season five is over next week leaving us many months to ponder what will become the focal point of the final season, season six, on Lost. I believe Sayid said it best tonight when he replied back to Jack about being right or wrong on his theory to use the hydrogen bomb to blow the island up to put everything back on course. "Either way, you'll put us out of our misery."

Until next week, Get Lost.

Lost Update - Eclipse

Lost Update - Season V - 04/29/2009

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
Beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All that's to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.

Daniel Faraday is about to reset time and everything that happened to the castaways, is about to be erased. The song lyrics above are from Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon, the song is Eclipse. The problem however, is not that he gets shot by his mother 30 years in the past, and his mother doesn't know who he is, until after she shoots him, but what he said earlier, and what he said to Jack and Kate tonight.

In a previous episode, Faraday stated, whatever happened, happened. You cannot change the past. Tonight, however, he tells Jack and Kate that the past cannot be changed, except for the variables. And they, meaning, the castaways, are the variables. They have free will, they have the ability to make a different choice, to change the past. Alas, Faraday's scenario doesn't end well, and this plays right into my Lost theory.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….
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.

So Faraday tells Doctor Chang that he is from the future and that he must evacuate the island immediately. He also tells him that Miles is his son. He then tells Sawyer, Kate, Hurley, Jack, and the gang about the island catastrophe and that he must go to the hostiles camp and meet his mother to reset the time line. He did this to change the course of events, to add a new variable. To course correct so to speak. But I knew this wouldn't work even before Kate typed in the 141717 code on the perimeter fence.

Why? How does the Grassy Knoll Institute know this? I anticipated your next question didn't I? It wasn't anything that Daniel said tonight, or before, but what Desmond had done in the past. Remember when Desmond had his flash and saw Charlie dying? Remember how he tried to prevent Charlie from dying? But what happened in the end? You betcha! Charlie ended up dead. Whatever happened, happened. No matter what you do, you cannot change the past to affect the future.

Remember a few updates ago I mentioned the Time Travel paradox. (Suppose you had the means to travel back in time. While you were visiting the past, you murdered your grandfather before he sired your father preventing you from being conceived and born. But if you were never born, then how could you go back in time to kill your grandfather?) This is why Desmond, Ben, Widmore, Eloise, and Daniel, no matter what they do, or how many times they attempt, they cannot change the course of events in the past to affect the future.

With this being said, here's a Lost series finale spoiler boys and girls. Time Travel is not part of the end Game.

This leaves us only one other scenario. Virtual Reality. Seriously, stay with me here for a minute or two. As the series unfolded over these five seasons, we have come to realize that all the passengers on the plane, and all the hostiles, also known as "The others," have all crossed paths in the past. Don't you find this to be more than just a coincidence? Seriously, hundreds of people, on an island that is invisible, that has properties to move through time, heal terminally ill people, prevent people from aging, allow people to time travel, and allow dead people to interact with the living, plus many more bizarre events, with all of them crossing paths in the past.

Let's concede for the sake of argument that the castaways are time traveling. At that point, you have to admit, that would be a ground breaking scientific achievement since it is deemed impossible. Now add that the island also cures the sick. And not just standard fare illness, but miraculous cures. Just look at John Locke, he is able to walk. Add in all the supernatural events in the previous paragraph and ask yourself, in what scenario can all this be possible? Not just one event, like time travel, but everything involved?

The only scenario that satisfies all those variables is virtual reality. My Lost theory. Some may think I'm a lunatic on the grass, but I know There is no dark side of the moon. Really. Matter of fact, its all dark.

Until Next Week, Get Lost.

Lost Update - The Good Samaritan

Lost Update - Season V - 04/22/2009

Tonight on Lost, ABC aired a recap following the Oceanic Six escape from the island and eventual return back. Instead of rehashing the rehash, I am staying on point and will analyze yet another social psychology experiment that is being implemented on the Lost Castaways. Tonight's topic is The Good Samaritan.

Everyone knows the parable of the Good Samaritan right? You could take the time and look it up in your bible, in the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 10, verse 25-37. For those not wanting to look it up, here it is in the short version.

A man was walking from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he fell into the hands of robbers. They robbed him of his clothes, possessions, and beat leaving him for dead. As the man lay in the street all crumpled up, a man of the cloth walked by and saw the man but he passed him on the other side. A short time later, another man of the cloth saw the man in need but walked right by him as well. Finally, a Samaritan was walking down the road and saw the man, and he stopped to attend the man. He cleaned and bandaged his wounds, and then lifted the man upon his cart and took him to an Inn. The next day, he paid the innkeeper two silver coins to look after the mans needs and informed the innkeeper that he would return the next day and would reimburse him for any expenses incurred.

The Good Samaritan experiment has been studied many times over by professors across the world. And sometimes, in the case of the Lost Islanders, off the world as well.

We will start with Jack and Ben. Remember a few years back when Jack was forced to operate on Ben to save his life? After he agreed and had Ben open on the operating table, he stopped and demanded that Kate and Sawyer be set free before he would complete the operation and save Ben. Now jump to the present season, just a couple of episodes ago. Young Ben Linus was shot by Sayid and left for dead in the road.

Juliet, Kate, Sawyer, Hurley and gang sought out Jack to help young Ben. Jack flat out refused sealing Ben's fate to die. Remember, Jack was always the good guy, helping the castaways from the get go. Now he goes against his oath as a doctor to heal the sick.

In steps Sawyer. He finally has his life in order. He has become head of security for Dharma, has a nice house, life, and a hot blond doctor in Juliet to do the nasty with. Life is good. But Sawyer does not step around the man lying in the road. (Young Ben Linus) Instead, he risks everything to save him and formulates a plan to deliver Ben to the "Others" (The Innkeeper) to look after and care for him. Sawyer is the Good Samaritan.

Wait a minute? What does the Jesus parable of the Good Samaritan have to do with ABC's Lost and my theory of what is really happening on the island? What, you don't know what the Grassy Knoll Institute Lost theory is. For you first timers, in a nutshell...

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.

Think about it gang. The castaways are put into incredible situations each and every week. Their very lives hang in the balance with each decision they make, or choose not to make. Dead people are walking around the island handing out advice as if they were a dispenser of knowledge from the great beyond. The island vanishes and appears in different places and also at different times. The castaways are traveling through time, some faster than others, some get lost, some get found.

But the one constant of the show, from the pilot episode to last week's airing, is that each castaway has a choice to make. A life altering choice. That choice is what the experiment is all about. If given different scenario's, what choice would you make? Would you choose to help the group, or choose to help yourself. Think of the characters on the show, and how many of them have made an about face on their choices.

Until next week, Get Lost!
