PREVIOUSLY ON LOST

Sayid says “Sawyer’s position in the jungle” yet he didn’t know (as far as we are aware) that Kate was no longer there so why wouldn’t he say “Kate’s position” when it was Kate who was meant to set of the flare?

With Sayid’s triangulation of the signal, if it weren’t for Locke’s intervention would they have actually managed to locate the radio tower any sooner? I’m thinking that something else would have needed to interfere because so much of the important information around the message, who left it and why wasn’t yet revealed. The way that season 3 ended with the eventual discovery of the tower (in what seemed to be a fairly open and accessible area mind you) actually turned out well since it has ended up being the mid-point in the overall story, and serves as a good stepping stone for season 4 and beyond.

There seems to be a definite dark/light, good/evil theme with the discovery of the black and white stones with Adam and Eve, along with Locke’s talk with Walt about Backgammon and the light and dark sides.

Who are Adam and Eve, the skeletons that were discovered in the caves. Are they Dharma, probably not, more likely that they predate Dharma as Jack says that it would have taken 40-50 years for the clothing to decay like it had. From what we have found out in subsequent episodes Dharma have been on the Island for about 30 years, so that would most likely mean they are something else.

So if Jack’s Dad isn’t in the coffin where is he? Could it really be possible that he is actually alive somewhere on the Island, maybe with the Others?

“I’ve looked into the eye of this island and what I saw was beautiful” – Locke. Clearly referencing his previous encounter with the monster.

Locke comes face to face with the ‘monster’ yet we don’t get an explanation about what he saw.

What exactly are the flashbacks and how do they actually fit in. Are they there simply to fill in the background information for each character or are they playing a much bigger part in the story. For example, we see a flashback of Locke which mentions Helen, when we return from the flashback Kate is trying to get Locke’s attention and he calls her Helen. Is it possible that they are also memories that are being played out in the mind of the character featured, or something else entirely.

“3 days ago we all died” – Jack. Is it any wonder that all the purgatory theories started.

The French womans message is up to iteration number 17294531 when they first pick it up which means the loop has been running for approximately 16 years and 5 months.
