Actually, I thought that the man in the smoke monster drawing looked like (older) Locke.

Anyone else see the Geronimo Jackson poster in the locker?

Great Stuff.

No need to watch anymore!

I feel like we have to disprove this theory every single week in these LOST threads.
Noone's asking you to disprove jack. I wouldn't want you to waste your time since you're convinced otherwise.

I don't think the theory is perfect but much of it makes perfect sense. I have to believe that out of all the crazy "theories" that internet fans have thrown out there, one of them is dead nuts on; maybe this is the one.

No Josh. I was looking for a while yesterday to find it. It was from Lostpedia's forums.

Remaining "Lost" seasons extended by two hours

By James Hibberd
Fri May 9, 1:34 AM ET

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - ABC has found more hours for the final two seasons of "Lost." The 2009 and 2010 editions of the hit drama will be 17 hours each -- not 16, as previously planned.

ABC has added two hours to the show's production plan because the Writers Guild of America strike knocked three hours out of the current season. To partly compensate, the network recently added an additional hour to Part 2 of the season finale that airs May 29.

All told, the changes will wrap up the show with the same number of episodes that producers and ABC negotiated last year.

"We were supposed to do 16-16-16," "Lost" co-creator Damon Lindelof said. "But we ended up doing 14 this season, so we owe two."

Lindelof, however, ruled out the idea that the show might extend beyond the remaining 34-episode order.

"(Executive producer) Carlton Cuse and I worked so hard to get the show to end that I think to suddenly say, 'Oh, I think we've got another season in us' would be a betrayal to everybody involved in the show -- but most of all the audience," he said. "It's better to retire your number at the top of your game."

Spoiler:
For the upcoming season finale, Lindelof promised a more action-driven cliffhanger instead of the mind-bending flash-forward time shift that stunned fans last season.

"The finale this year will not be as tricky as last year," he said. "Hopefully, this year it's a little bit more of a straightforward action-adventure narrative. But the ending of the episode will hopefully engage and intrigue people looking forward to the next season of the show."

Lindelof declined to say whether the flash-forwards will continue, but he did leave open the possibility of the show's main story line on the island catching up with the flash-forwards that have taken place on the mainland this season.

"It's very exciting that the audience is going to be wondering when is the present going to be (next season)," he said. "We've moved backward in time, now we've moved forward in time. The present of the show has always been on the island -- that may not necessarily be the case in the future."


When it comes time to air the series finale in 2010, Lindelof said he and Cuse plan to "go into hiding for many, many months" at an "undisclosed location."

"David Chase set a great example when he went off to Paris after 'The Sopranos' ending, which is great because all these people are going to be asking, 'What does it mean? What is it?"' he said. "The fact that there's no one really around to answer that question, it forces people to come up with what they think it means. We can guarantee our show will not end with a cut to black, it will be more clear than that. But whenever anything you love ends ... there's a certain disappointment."

Yes. It was a nice touch.

Has anyone put together that Ben and Locke might be half brothers? Wasn't Ben's mother named Emily, the same as Locke's? And going by her age with Locke's birth and her age at Ben's it look like it works out.

pinata242 05-09-08 02:01 PM

That's an interesting observation. If Ben and Locke do, in fact, share a mother then that would imply that she has some sort of mystical connection to the island like Christian Shepard who also fathered 2 half-sibs that are on the island.

And of course we did see her on the island in a flashback...hmmm.

As I mentioned before, I think Richard and Abaddon were/are probably competing in some way for Locke's loyalty. How they both know he's "special," no clue. Doesn't it seem like Locke should remember Richard from when he visited him as a ~5 year old? I'd think somebody showing up in a weird situation like that, you'd remember him even if you were only 5 or so. Maybe I'm overestimating the memory of a 5 year old though. :p :shrug:

looked like sand to me in that lil jar.

maybe meaning the island already being his?

the drawing was just a camp fire with a guy laying on the ground.

People post that link in a thread every single week like they are the first to have found it. The first few times it was posted, there was substantial discussion as to the major problems with it. Other forums have utterly destroyed it.

It's a well thought out theory, but it's no more or less right than anything else, INCLUDING the theory that they might actually be dead.

It's just excellently written fan fiction based on show events.

It's not up to the actors. It's a SAG thing.

I don't care either way. I never notice the opening credits, even if I try to on most shows I watch. I end up completely seeing through them and forgetting they are even there.

On another note, I like the music they used as Sayid began to boat away from the freighter. I think it's the same music that was used in the beginning of the 2-part finale of Through the Looking Glass as they were preparing and leaving for the communications tower from the beach with Jack.

But Ben's mother dies during childbirth in the early '70s while we see Locke's mother in a flashback from the first episode during the early '90s when she visits John and tells him about his father Anthony Cooper. I think having their mother's both be named Emily and both being born prematurely have more to do with showing just how connected they are in their destiny without actually being related.

i see a fire there.

I think it's entirely possible. Locke is a good bit older than Ben, probably at least 10 years. Emily could have aged 10 years and met someone else. It's a theory worth exploring.

Another one is of Alpert being the Panchen Lama to Ben/Locke's Dalai Lama. In Buddhism, the Panchen Lama helps find the reincarnated Dalai Lama. He's instrumental in determining who is the real "chosen one" to lead the group. Alpert seems to play some sort of similar role.

Ben's flashback. She appeared to him as a child when he was chasing his rabbit near the security fence.

But Ben's mom died during/after childbirth. Locke's visit to his Mom, when he first learned about anthony cooper, was much later and Locke's mom was older.

Was that Locke's real mom? For some reason I was thinking that was just somebody Cooper had pretend to be John's mom to convince him to see Cooper and give his kidney.
