When I saw that scene, as her brother walked over to talk to her, the first thing that came into my mind is that it is a good thing for the human genome that we have a built-in biological/psychological aversion to incest.

ever said child - or if she did there was something very vague in the way she phrased it, I recall - which led me to believe "Alex" could have possibly been an animal. Especially since she never said "son" or "daughter" specifically. That's one of those old tricks crime novelists use when they don't identify a killer's gender by ever using "she" or "he", and then the reader is shocked when the identity is revealed to be something other than was originally assumed based on generalities.

The animal angle would ring true if their scientific vessel ran aground with all sorts of critters on board. Just a theory...

Spoiler:
It could be A.L.E.X. a genetic experiment gone wrong. It could be the tree shaking creature from the way Danielle said "There are no monsters."

Simple art of misdirection, my friend, no one ever said that was a map of THIS island. I bet you stopped believing in the T-Rex theory just because Jack said "dinosaurs are exinct," too.

In one of the earlier threads, someone did suggest the possibility of a ship carrying the animals (polar bears, T-Rexes, etc) that shipwrecked. And now we have this "science expedition."

Big Boy Laroux 11-18-04 12:18 PM

dammit, the writers fooled me again. If only they had written "THIS IS A MAP OF THE ISLAND WE ARE ON" on the map...

I would love to see a screen grab. The shot right before she stands up was angled such that the back of the bottom of her bikini was loose and you could see her crack.

Where's that lost link with all the screen grabs?

Raul3 11-18-04 12:50 PM

so, any theories about the cable that comes from the sea?

is it connected to Danielle's house?

it'll be a long 2 week wait :(

Big Boy Laroux 11-18-04 12:59 PM

here's that screencap link. just found it, so i'm looking for the pic.

Someone already posted a theory. Read the thread. :)

Maybe her child Alex has been mutated into some huge beast. And maybe the beast and the thing that Locke was looking up at that he wouldn't tell anyone about are separate things, and that thing was Alex.

I understand it all now. You see the shadows are using this a training ground to wage war on the humans in the future. Daleen went back in time to stop them but went insane instead.
But where's Sheridan?
Were those the Shadows at the end whispering?

Seriously though, Great show but it sure would be nice to get some answers to some of these questions.

Psssst...ever singly "spoiler" in this thread appears safe to read since they are all just speculation. You people must just be so confident in your theories :p

I had the same theory this morning.

Interesting article on USA Today about the show and all of the theories about the actual location. It should be familiar to all of the people involved in our weekly discussion about the show.

As far as the guy who questioned Frenchy speaking english to Said, she asked him where Alex was in multiple languages before he responded in English, so the convo continued in english from there

My theory
Spoiler:

Frenchy is a biogeneticist who worked with a group that was trying to introduce animals to different environemnts through genetic mutation and biological agents (hence polar bear).
Alex is either a child that was born on the island and is infected with whatever pathogen she fears (and posibbly mutated) OR Alex is a normal person who has assimilated into the crash survivors (would you know everyone on a plane?)

That was me and I was just coming in to crow about my theory being (partially) right (so far)!

OK, so were Dannielle's shipmates really sick, or is she nuts (went crazy from isolation/stress) and killed them all? Did she bop Sayid on the head a few weeks ago or was it .... ALEX??

Voices in the jungle.. simple jungle sounds heightened by imagination, or remnants of an experiment gone wrong? Is Sayid lost now? Will he be able to lead others from the plane back to Dannielle?

How long have they actually been on the island now? I'm thinking it's still less than two weeks, which would make Jack have a rough time playing golf with the stitches he should still have in his back.

I'm digging this show and enjoy reading all the posts about what others thought (excpet for you people who cheat and read interviews and know what's going to happen :grunt: ).

I don't care if people read spoilers or not, posting their "theories" as their own that I have issues with.

Ditto.

And my theories are just that: "theories"

I don't get the whole spoiler mentality anyhow. It takes the fun out of a great show like Lost knowing what's coming.

Last night's episode made me more confused. What the hell is happening on this island?

Can somebody tell me if this is how usually Abrams work for his TV series like Alias???

They do speak English in Canada, right? ;)

Borst 11-18-04 04:16 PM

I'm mad they are making us wait 2 weeks to find out if Jack made the putt or not. Hope he does so Shannon gets more sunscreen and be laying around in a bikini more often! :drool:

If Hurley is Alex then the mutation must have caused him to have a super appetite lol.

and eat several of the survivors in the process.

If they hook Kate up w/ Sawyer - I'll be a tad bit disappointed.

IMRICKJAMES 11-18-04 10:54 PM

Ive been watching, but havent paid the greatest attention. Have the viewers been told how long they've been on the island since the crash so far, or how much time goes by per episode, anything like that?
