Lost Update - Bennie And The Jets

Lost Update - Season Six - 03/30/2010

Hey kids, plug into the faithless
Maybe they're blinded
But Bennie makes them ageless
We shall survive, let us take ourselves along
Where we fight our parents out in the streets
To find who's right and who's wrong
Bennie and the jets....

Tonight we got a peek at "Room 23" where all the mind shaping and subliminal messaging occurs. Jin is locked in the room, turns on the switch switching on the program. When we first saw Room 23 several seasons ago, it was a significant component to my Lost theory. Seeing it once again only fortifies my theory.

Just what is the Grassy Knoll Institutes Lost theory….I’ve been waiting to deliver this package to you for six years…..
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.

Lets dwell a little longer on room 23 and then we'll move on. As my theory goes, Room 23 was used for adjustments to the virtual reality program for several castaways who did not conform and adapt. After a few hours in the room, they were now part of the fold.

Jin and Kwon was the focus on and off the island tonight. Only at the end of the program was the package revealed. In the sideways flash Jin and Kwon are not yet married, travel to the states to deliver a package, a watch and $25 grand.

Sun gets her sexy on daring Jin to tell her to button up her sweater. He doesn't. They have sexual relations (Sex for those of the younger generation) and in the morning receive a surprise guest at their hotel door. It's Keamy. He wants his watch and money. Jin doesn't deliver.

Drama follows Jin and Sun in both the side way flash and on the island. Perhaps their virtual reality scenario is exploring the complex dynamics of relationships among couples. As in any experiment, we have the control set, (Side ways flash) and the variable set. (The island scenario) Each scenario may be run dozens if not hundreds of times until the correct results are obtained. Exactly what Jacob said in the season five finale. We are seeing the end of each experiment. The end game. No more resets as Jacob feels he has the correct variables in place for a favorable conclusion.

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* Ilana tells Ben she knows he is lying because he is talking. LOL

* MIB tempts Sun to come with him to be reunited with Jin. Notice how he smiled, how he extended his hand. That comes into play a little later.

* Claire and MIB concerning Kate. After MIB is finished with Kate, what happens, happens.

* Pylons erected on Hydra island to keep MIB from entering.

* War is coming to the island.

* If MIB were to get off the island, everything would cease to exist. Perhaps a fail safe button to the VR program to reset the parameters or safe guard the lab.

* Richard returns, with a new sense of purpose, wants to stop MIB from getting off the island.

* Desmond is back, and he is the package.

* And one more thing as promised. About MIB tempting Sun to come with him. With his awkward smile and his hand extended. Exactly what he did with Kate in last weeks episode. Now here's the twist, the kicker, the Twilight Zone zinger. When Jack walked up to Sun's private camp fire and talked to her. Asked her is she trusted him. She answered with an affirmative nod. Jack than said that if Sun comes with him and the others, he will promise to unite her with Jin. He then smiles awkward and extends his hand out for Sun to take. She does.

Folks, that wasn't Jack. It was Smoky, old MIB. He promised Sun the same earlier but she ran in fear not trusting him. This time around, he got what he wanted. You read it here first.

Lost Update - Running With The Devil

Lost Update - Season Six - 03/23/2010

I live my life-like there's no tomorrow
All I've got, I had to steal
Least I don't need to beg or borrow
Yes I'm living at a pace that kills

Yeah, running' with the devil
Running' with the devil
I'm gonna tell ya all about it

I found the simple life ain't so simple
When I jumped out, on that road
I got no love, no love you'd call real
Ain't got nobody, waiting' at home

Tonight we finally find out about the mysterious Richard Alpert, the man who doesn't age. We also find out that he made a pact with the devil for eternal life. However, the six year question is, who is the devil that made the deal, Jacob or the Man-In-Black?

The song lyrics above, penned by Van Halen, hone in on what life for Richard has been since 1867, when he lost his wife and made the deal with the devil. He's been running with the devil ever since, with no home life, no love of his own. But if Lost is about the devil and God, and heaven and hell, how does my theory hold water, or wine, if you are Jacob?

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, while the group was gathered around a campfire, Ilana asks Richard what to do next. Richard replies that he doesn't know. After being pressed, Richard becomes frantic and says he's going to tell everyone a secret. He says to Jack that he's dead, that were all dead, and the island, it's not what you think it is, they are not on an island, they are in hell. Richard runs off in the jungle and this starts his back story.

Here is Richards story in a nutshell. Take a deep breath and continue...
Richard was alive in 1867, his wife Isabella is gravely ill, he seeks the doctor to help her, the doctor is a major prick, says it's going to cost him plenty, Richard gives him everything he has, it's not enough, Richard gives him Isabella's cross and chain, the doctor tosses it to the floor claiming it is worthless. Richard goes crazy, tries to wrestle the medicine from the doctors hands, the doctor falls, hits his head, and dies. Richard flees with the medicine, but he's to late, Isabella is dead. The police burst in, take Richard to jail, condemn him to death, the priest refuses to give him absolution, says he will meet the devil in hell. On his way to the gallows, meets with Whitfield, asks if he can speak English, Richard answers yes, he becomes the property of Captain Magnus Hanso, shackled on the Black Rock ship, the ship crashes on the Lost island, only a few survivors, Whitfield kills all the prisoners except Richard. Smoky intervenes, kills the sailors above deck, and Whitfield as well, comes face to face with Richard, growling and scary sounds going on, Smoky leaves. Richard tries to escape, he cannot, he sees Isabella, she says they are dead and in hell, Smoky returns, Isabella runs, but not fast enough, MIB appears, helps Richard out of his chains, asking for his help, Richard agrees. MIB tells Richard that to get out of hell, you must kill the devil, gives knife to Richard, same speech mIB gave to Sayid, same results, Jacob lives, befriends Richard, baptizes him, shares wine with him, shows the cork, keeping evil trapped, hires Richard as intermediary, Richard asks to live forever, Jacob grants it, Richard gives MIB white stone, Richard begins his sojourn. And here we are...... Exhale slowly.....

As I stand atop my pulpit tonight, I see many a wide eyed Lost fans believing that the writers have lied to them when they claimed that the castaways were not dead and not in heaven or hell. But here we are, with only 7 episodes left, and all we hear now is heaven and hell, good and evil, God and the devil. Who can you believe? Who can you trust? One thing is for certain. You cannot trust Ben. He always lies. It's his nature. However, you can trust me. I have not yet led you astray. I have charted my course and kept a steady hand at the wheel and piloted you through the rough and choppy waters and shown you the way of virtual reality.

Richard in his many years on the island, has been seeking redemption for the murder he committed long ago. He is doing his penance. Running with the devil. His test, how far will a man go to regain the love of his life, to honor his dead wife, to achieve redemption. He's been at it for 150 years and it looks like he's about to win. But wait, 150 years old, and he hasn't aged a bit? What type of magic is this? Certainly we can rule out human science and medicine as factors. That leaves only two choices. Supernatural, God and the Devil, or Virtual Reality, where the castaways are being experimented on without their knowledge.

Lets analyze for a moment shall we. I do not know of any religion where a knife is used to either destroy the God or the devil so the other can escape. The bible states that God cast Lucifer from Heaven to rule Hell for all eternity. That is two places. Heaven and Hell. Jacob and MIB are in one place. The island. And if they are dead, are they completely dead, or just mostly dead? I ask this because if they are dead, several castaways died twice, and some castaways came back from their first death, or their second, and interacted with the dead, who thought they were living. See my point. It cannot be the road the writers are on.

As Sherlock Holmes famously spoke, "That when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth?" Which leads us to Virtual Reality. Look at all the impossible events witnessed on the Lost island. An invisible island, a smoke monster, a man that doesn't age, an island that cannot be found, an island that moves, time travel, alternate realities, miraculous healing properties, Juliet and her amazing rack, seeing dead people, talking to dead people, dead people coming back to life. When you attempt to apply all the other lost theories to all these events, they fall short which leads us back to Sherlock.

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* Richard is from the Canary Islands, was alive in 1867.

* The Black Rock tumbled the statue.

* There's a a lot of dead people walking around.

* Richard makes a pact not only with MIB, but also with Jacob. Big time conflict there.

* Jacob says there are many names for hell. One of them could virtual reality.

* Jacob explains containing evil on the island to Richard through an illustration of the cork in the wine bottle holding the dark liquid inside.

* MIB smashed the wine bottle.

* Hurley speaks to Isabella. Relays message to Richard.

* Richard must stop MIB from leaving the island.

A final note. Jacob reiterated tonight that he will not interfere with the castaways. They must choose what they believe as right and wrong. They must choose their own path. What good is it if Jacob tells them what to do. They must find it our for themselves.

Just as any controlled experiment, the subject must be motivated enough to perform without knowledge of said experiments for pristine data to be recorded. That is why Jacob stays on the sidelines only observing.

Until next week, get Lost!

A special Shout out to Travis from Las Vegas. I told you Richard was going to say they weren't on an island.

Blue Wolf Tavern - Chicken Parmesan

Blue Wolf Tavern Boardman Sign

Believe it or not but the Youngstown suburbs have many restaurants to choose for dining. Patty and I drive by the Blue Wolf often in our travels and decided to stop for dinner. Was it a wise choice?

Blue Wolf Salad

We entered and I was amused with the sign on the door (More on that later) and we were seated right away. The waitress took our drink order and returned promptly with them and asked if we were ready to order. We were.

The salad came with my meal and as you can see, it is a standard salad. No frills attached. Just lettuce, a few onions, cabbage, cucumber, a few grated carrots, and mini tomatoes. No cheese, olives, hard-boiled eggs, celery! It was adequate, the lettuce crisp and fresh, the rest, in a word, adequate.

Blue Wolf Hot Fresh Rolls

However, the rolls were more than adequate. They looked and tasted home-baked. Not mass-produced from some roll company. They were hot out of the over, very fresh, and very good. Things were looking up after the salad.

Blue Wolf Chicken Parmigiano

The main entrée was Chicken Parmigiano with Penne and meatballs and of course a diet Coke. Crazy combination but it looked appetizing. And it was. The chicken was a sizable portion, cooked well, juicy and tender. The breading was golden brown, the cheese plenty and the sauce, a zesty taste. It was delicious. The Penne was well-cooked, plentiful with the same tomato sauce. The meatballs were an added bonus and tasted very good. Usually, restaurant meatballs are not made on premises, but shipped by a mass producing meat company. I think these were home-made.

Jo Jo Fries Blue Wolf Style

A quirky oddity was the Jo Jo fries. My meal came with an additional side. Not wanting mashed or baked potatoes, I opted for the Jo Jo fries. They were good. Crisp. Well cooked. Seasoned just right.

Cherry Cheesecake Blue Wolf Dessert

Usually we do not order dessert but we were feeling a little saucy that evening and went for it. I ordered a slice of New York style cherry cheesecake. It was excellent. Not the biggest slice in the world, but adequate. The taste more than made up for the slight offering.

No Guns Allowed Inside The Blue Wolf

Getting back to the sign in the window. Not only were we on surveillance but a sign clearly stated that no guns were permitted on the premises.

The service was very good, the waitress friendly and fast, the order was accurate and the food arrived in a timely manner and was good. The cost was $26.00 without tip including dessert.

The Grassy Knoll Diner scores 4 out of 5 shots and recommends the Blue Wolf Tavern for lunch and dinner. Just keep your firearms at home.

A Tall Texan In Ireland

A Texan on vacation walks into a pub in Galway, Ireland and raises his voice to the crowd of drinkers. He shouts, "I hear you Irish are a bunch of drinking fools. I'll give $500 American dollars to anybody in here who can drink 10 pints of Guinness back to back." The room goes quiet and no one takes of the Texans offer.

Old Paddy Murphy gets up and leaves the bar. Thirty minutes later, he shows back up and taps the Texan on the shoulder. "Is your bet still good?" asks Paddy. The Texan answers, "Yes," and he orders the barman to line up 10 pints of Guinness.

Immediately, Paddy goes into action and downs all 10 pints of beer, drinking them all back to back. The other pub patrons cheer and the Texan sits down in amazement. The Texan gives the Irishman the $500 and asks, "If ya don't mind me asking, where did you go for that 30 minutes you were gone?"

Old Paddy Murphy replies, "Aye, I had to go to the pub down the street to see if I could do it first."

An Irish Catholic Dog

Sean Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day his faithful dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked Father Patrick, "Father, me dog is dead. Could you please be sayin a mass for the poor creature?"

Father Patrick was taken back and replied, "I'm afraid not Muldoon. We cannot be having services for an animal in the church. Dogs don't have souls. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin what they believe in. Maybe they'll do something for your dog."

Muldoon was dejected and hung his head down low and said, Well then, I best be gettin right over there Father. Do you be thinking $5,000 dollars is enough to donate to them for the service?"

Upon hearing this Father Patrick exclaimed, "Sweet Mary and Joseph Muldoon, Why didn't you be tellin me your dog was Catholic?"

Lost Update - Sympathy For The Devil

Lost Update - Season Six - 03/16/2010

Please allow me to introduce myself
I'm a man of wealth and taste
I've been around for a long, long year
Stole many a man's soul and faith

And I was 'round when Jesus Christ
Had his moment of doubt and pain
Made damn sure that Pilate
Washed his hands and sealed his fate

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzling you
Is the nature of my game

MIB tells Kate that he made a promise to protect everyone, and that included Kate. He tells Kate to take his hand and he will show her where Sawyer is. He attempts a smile and calming affect but Kate sees through it and does not take MIB's hand. At that exact moment, MIB reminded me of Satan, attempting to win over the people he duped into believing he was good. So you see, my Lost theory is spot on.

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's episode was all about Sawyer, or Ford, or Lafluer, take your pick. We get a glimpse into his mind, his psyche. Both on the island and during his sideways flash.

What do we know about Sawyer to this point? First, he gets plenty of women. But most importantly, he is driven by one single thought. Hatred towards one man, the man who gunned down his parents in cold blood. His mission in life, to exact revenge, to kill the man who murdered his parent and ruined his life.

Sawyer became a grifter, a con man, a cheap man, out for himself, not letting anyone get in his way. These attributes would serve him well on the Lost island. In his sideway flash, we find that Sawyer is still running his con game, but this time, as a cop. He tells Charlotte, who he meets and beds, that he had a choice of becoming a criminal or a cop. He chose to be a cop.

However, although his cons are on the right side of the law, he is still pursuing the man who murdered his parents. Splitting hairs perhaps, but it is a fine line between good and evil.

OK, VR theory time.
Sawyer is being manipulated. He has been thrust into several scenario's to observe what choice he makes and what is the ultimate outcome of said choice. In Sawyers case, it appears no matter what scenario he is in, he ends up alone, bitter, and filled with hatred. Think back on the previous five Lost seasons, Sawyers story, a loner, loses Kate, Juliet, his wife in the flash, Charlotte, etc. No matter what choice he makes, he ends up alone, bitter, and filled with hatred.

Perhaps this is what Jacob and MIB were referring to in the season five finale, when Jacob says, "It only ends once. Anything that happens before that, it’s just progress." He is searching for the right scenario for Sawyer, the right variables, the right experiment, to allow him to be happy. We'll have to wait to the series finale to see if he ever achieves that.

One more thing I noticed tonight. The castaways are again split into groups. MIB's group, supposedly the evil group, and Ilana's group, supposedly the good group. Ilana's group is back where the season one started, at the shoreline by the wreckage. MIB's group is further inland. Remember when the castaways split into two groups, one wanting to stay on the shore, one wanting to venture more inland. It's all happening once again but this time, under a slightly different scenario.

Folks, face it, Lost is about virtual reality, and the castaways are being experimented and manipulated without their knowing. Data is being collected to help researchers in future experiments to better understand all the variables of life, and death.

"It only ends once. Anything that happens before that, it’s just progress. "

Tidbits From Tonight's Episode:

* We see Sawyers standard pigeon drop con but this time, the girl is well ahead of him. Thought I saw a nip on her too.

* Sawyer is a detective in side flash. The complete opposite of what he is on the island.

* Miles is Sawyers partner.

* MIB reveals to Sawyer that he is the smoke thing that killed all those people.

* Charlotte was looking pretty damn hot.

* Sawyer is back to the Hydra station, where he was tortured in the bear cages. Sees Kates dress.

* Claire attacks Kate, tries to kill her. Sayid does nothing about it.

* MIB stops Claire, slaps her, and explains to her about Kate.

* Sawyer goes on a mission for MIB, a recon to spy on the people with the plane.

* Sawyer finds the plane, it doesn't look suitable for flying, debris scattered all around. A path leading into the jungle.

* Finds a pile of dead rotting people.

* Runs down Zoe, who looks like Danielle, se says she is the last one left.

* Surprise. Zoe is not the nerdy helpless woman, but a cunning conniving bitch who sets Sawyer up. He knew it though.

* MIB tells Kate his mother was crazy. Yes, he had a mother, a long time ago, before he became MIB. Very interesting.

* He refers to Kate that Aaron is in danger because Claire is a crazy mother also.

* They have a sub! Widmore's sub.

* QUOTE: "People aren't really gone when they die!"

* Sawyer and Widmore strike a deal. Sawyer lives up to his mantra.

* Anthony Cooper.

* Kate literally runs into Sawyer. He runs her down.

* Jacob can be seen as a bystander in the street witnessing Kate and Sawyer.

* No, not really! just checking to see if you are still reading this or moved to the comments section already.

* A shout out to Travis from Las Vegas. I told you it was Virtual Reality.

Until next week, Get Lost!

Irish Celtic Cross Meaning

Celtic Cross Meaning

The Celtic Cross (Irish Cross) is an Irish symbol combining a standard Christian cross with a sun ring circling and connecting the cross limbs. Legend has it that St. Patrick in his effort to convert the Celtic Pagans to Christianity, added the sun circle to the cross to instill in the Pagans that Christianity was similar to their Druid beliefs. The sun and moon were important symbols to the Pagans as they believed they were magical and givers of life.

Some Irish Catholic priests state the Celtic Cross is a symbol of everlasting life through the crucifixion of Christ.

The Celtic Cross legend has it's origin at the same time as the ancient Egyptian pyramids dating back some 5000 years. However, the oldest standing Celtic Crosses can be traced back to the early 8th century.

Many Irish Catholic priests teach the Celtic Cross is a symbol of everlasting life through the crucifixion of Christ making it a desired choice as a tombstone with many Irish Christians.

Five Good Leads From Confession

Who Is Nookie Green

As the custom is in Ireland, every Saturday morning, the entire congregation makes their way to confession to cleanse their souls to prepare for Sunday mass. The priest enters his side of the confessional and waits for the first sinner to enter. A moment later he hears the door open and a voice say...

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."
Father Flanagan, the Parrish priest recognized the voice as one of his altar boys and asked, "Tis that you little Sean O'Malley?" Sean sheepishly replied, "Yes, Father, it is."
Father Flanagan pressed, "And who was this loose girl you were with then?"
Sean stated, "I cannot tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."

Father Flanagan whispered back, "Well, Sean, I am sure to find out her name soon enough so you may as well tell me now. Was it Mary Rooney?"
Sean replied, "I cannot say."
Father Flanagan pressed further, "Was it Elizabeth Casey?"
Sean spoke, "I'll never tell Father."
Father asked, "Was it Patty Mulligan?"
Sean replied, "I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
Father continued to press, "Was it Kathy Mannagan?"
Sean softly spoke, "My lips are sealed Father."
Once more, Father Flanagan asked, "Was it Rebecca Muldoon then?"
Sean coyly said, "Please, Father, I cannot tell you."

Father Flanagan sighed in frustration. He said, "You are a very tight lipped lad, and I admire that. But you have sinned and now you have to atone. Starting today, you will be relieved of your altar boy duties for four months. Now go back to your pew and say ten Hail Marys and ten Our Fathers."

Sean slowly walks back to his pew and his friend Mike slides over and whispered, "What'd you get?" Sean whispered, "Four months vacation and five good leads."

Chicago River Dyed Green

Chicago River Dyed Green For St. Patricks Day

Every year since 1961, for the St. Patrick's Day parade, the city dyes the Chicago river green. Today the river turned green at approximately 10:45am. Members of the Journeymen Plumbers Union add a highly secretive blend of special dye and with a wee bit of assistance by a band of Leprechauns, dyes the river for the day.

But what's in this so-called highly secretive blend of dye? For starters, the dye is orange, one of three colors of Ireland's flag. As the dye is poured into the river, it magically transforms into the bright Irish green. The rest will have to be left to the imagination. City officials have stated that the dye is non toxic and environmentally safe to the fish and ecosystem but still guard the actual ingredients close to their vest.

See the boat in the river. Take a close look at the back of the boat. Yeah, that's the Grassy Knoll Institute LOTGK logo. Yeah, we're everywhere!

Guinness Brewery Gets New CEO

The Guinness Beer company, Ireland's famous brewing facility, named a new tough as nails C.E.O. to steer the company out of it's economic down turn. The New CEO, Robert Flanagan, was determined to tighten the belt of the corporation and rid the company of all the slackers not pulling their weight.

On his first day on the job touring the facility, he noticed a lad leaning lazily on the wall. He looked around and saw the room was full of employees and he thought to himself that this was a perfect opportunity to show everyone that he meant business.

The CEO walked up to the lad leaning on the wall and sternly asked, "And how much money do you make in a weeks time sir?" The young lad looked up nonchalantly and replied, "I make $200.00 a week. Why?" The CEO reached into his pocket and took out a wad of money and counted out $200.00 so everyone could see. He then turned to the lad and screamed, "Here's a weeks pay then, now GET OUT and don't come back!"

Feeling pretty good about firing his first employee for slacking on the job, he looked around the room and asked, "Can anyone tell me what that slacker did here?"

Out from the back of the room, one of the young workers muttered. "He's the pizza delivery guy!"

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!

LURKING, STILL LOST ON THE GRASSY KNOLL

Birdman Of Alcatraz Found

Giant Alien Skeleton Unearthed

During a routine repair on the South wall at infamous Alcatraz island prison, incredulously an intact giant alien skeleton was unearthed by construction workers. The skeleton found was approximately 36 feet in length when laid out on a concrete slab and is estimated to have weighed 1200 pounds with flesh and blood. A handful of sightseers on Alcatraz island at the time were treated to a rare sighting of actual proof of an alien race.

The skeleton was named "The Birdman Of Alcatraz due to it's unique bone structure of the nose. The Grassy Knoll Institute is in the process of offloading the giant alien for transport to a secret West Coast laboratory for genetic testing in hopes the skeleton will reveal a biological weakness for humankind to exploit against them.

ABC Lost Versus The Twilight Zone

Lost In The Twilight Zone Update 03/05/2010

Submitted For Your Approval:
For years I have been preaching about the similarities between ABC's Lost series and the 1960's science fiction program, The Twilight Zone. Last night while surfing Youtube I came across two most excellent video's combining Lost and the Twilight Zone. The editing skills are off the charts for both of these video's.

 The second video uses a different Twilight Zone season intro that uses Lost icons mixed with the Twilight Zone icons to make a most excellent introduction.

The Lost writers (Lindelof and Cuse) have already admitted in interviews they were heavily influenced by Rod Serling and the Twilight Zone and the Lost series displays this perfectly. Just when you think you know what is happening on screen, a twist of fate to convolute the outcome.
