The previews for next week look good. It will probably be the best episode so far this season.

i'd still really like to know what the connection is with christian and the island. it just seems kind of random.

also i wish they would go back and cover some more ground on jacob. that plot just kinda seems like it was dropped from the show entirely since nobody has talked about it in awhile

I agree. I'm pretty excited for that one.

Locke did tell Richard that Jacob sent him when he saw him in the past. I think they'll get back to it once people return to the island.

Maybe Jacob is Jack? That's why Jack's dad and sister where hanging with Jacob in the cabin. Maybe it's Jack of the future or something. Just my random guess that I don't have a clue about. :blink:

There are many thoughts out there. One is that Christian is from the island and got off like Charles Widmore and Eloise Hawking (Ellie). Many think that if you leave the island then you age like Charles, Ellie and possibly Christian all have. If you stay on the island then you don't age, aka Richard Alpert.

There is a great lost forum where they discuss episodes and theories:

The thing that sticks out to me is when Jack finds the coffin of his dad in season one in the wreckage and no body is in it, sort of makes sense with the returning the coffin of dead Locke back to the Island. Obviously these two people have a special purpose for this Island. I wouldnt be surprized to find out that Christian was a doctor with Dharma.

One interesting theory is that Sawyer will end up being Jacob. The 4 toed statue ends up being him? That would be epic.

What is this theory?

What if the Others aren't the Others? What if they are, in fact, the descendents of the Losties? What if, while time-flashing, our intrepid left-behinders, now joined by the O6, skip back to the Island's prehistory, before the Black Rock, before the 4-Toed Statue?

The Losties would then be the ancestors of the Others. Locke was not meant to be the leader of the current Others but of these proto-Others. Jack, the Moses of the group, is meant to get them to this promised land, which is why he has to go back. This is also the genesis of Jacob, who is either Jack, Locke, Aaron, or Sawyer (I could make arguments for each of those).

Thematically it fits. Lost explores dualities (Locke as Hunter and Farmer/Jack as Leader and Follower/Sawyer as Killer and Savior, etc.), and this would unite the two groups of the Island (Us and Them) into one group. They are All, Everybody.

But Ben and Widmore don't know this, which is why they've been acting contrary to this purpose. Ben knows that they have to go back, but not the real reason why. Richard may know, though I doubt it considering his reaction to Locke's story of time-traveling. Only Jacob knows because Jacob is part of this history.

Cool theory, but after last night's episode I don't see how this could work. They skipping was fixed by Locke last night night so unless it skipped them back in time I don't know how it works.

true but im curious if the time skipping isnt over or dosent start back up again at some point. Seeing is that when Locke turned the donkey wheel , the remaining group looks like they skipped back quite a while back. So if the O6 are coming back to meet up with them they will be in the wrong time periods. Honestly it just hurts you're head after a while, guess its just best to sit back and watch and enjoy.

then again, with wounded mullets theory, it wouldn't be that bad to see if everything did, in fact, turn out that way. locke did stop the "skipping" last night. but for some reason, i feel like sawyer and the others will end up being screwed in some way because of locke turning the wheel. just a feeling.

That theory is interesting. However, how would they get to the point where they are now and not remember being the one's who were the original island inhabitors.

I have a feeling when this is all said and done the answer will be rather simplistic, the way we get there very complicated. After the first two seasons I was afraid I was going to be disappointed in the show, looks like I will be wrong.

Generational Paradoxes,gotta love them.

I don't think you can surmise,second guess,or precognition this show.I haven't seen one yet that covers all the plot differentials.
