Quick theory about the plane.
It’s a small detail I haven’t seen touched on much, but there are two details that hint in a big way at its fate.
From what we know about Lapidus, it has been established that he doesn’t let his ride crash. Sure, the chopper ran out of fuel, but that wasn’t his fault, right? Maybe his cocky comment from episodes past means that the plane is okay… but where on the island would he have landed it?!

Remember when Kate and Sawyer were being used as slave labor for The Others? What were they building? According to Juliet, “A Runway”. Hrm…

I understand what you mean… I think “Life and Death” will be a fairly linear story. Start at the FDW (life) and move towards whatever happens at the end (death?). They could do the “316″ gimmick and split the final scene to the beginning and end of the episode, but for the most part, it should be a self-contained linear story, like “316″ and “The Other 48 Days.” That’s why “Life and Death” and “316″ were able to be swapped. I think it was a good choice. They said they did the same thing in season 1 but I don’t know which pair of episodes that was.

I’m just trying to save the disappointment for the someone in book 5 accidentally finding out the end of book 7. Not saying that the reader isn’t responsible but you cannot make that decision without a spoiler warning.

I sincerely thank SonyaLynn for fixing this.

I wouldn’t say seven minutes worth, usually, but they are usually taken from just before or after the title card. This week’s were different: very short (two were like thirty seconds), mostly didn’t show anything new (the third has a cool scene with a very cool line at the end), and yet managed to be less spoiler-refic than the “Next Week on LOST” clip.

(I’ll do my best to discuss the spoiler’s reveal in the clip without spoiling it.)

In defense of the “Next Week on LOST” clip, perhaps “The Life and Death…” is structured like “316″, and we get the last scene first and work our way back there? Or maybe it’s written like the old “flashback” episodes from the earlier seasons? The person making the clip may not watch the show, and was just giving a general feel for the episode, and picked a clip of the opening scene?

Then again, “316″ and “The Life and Death…” were flipped in the schedule, so the “Next Week on LOST” clip may have given away the end, a big reveal, and, to the audience, a certain conversation in the chapel in “316″ would’ve been an explanation instead of foreshadowing.

(Quasi-Spoiler Alert!)

That said, it’s safe to say that we all know what this episode is about, and I also think it’s safe to assume we’ve all seen it coming for two seasons now. Just sucks seeing it in a clip.

I don’t think so. If anything, I suspect that Hawking and Faraday might actually end up being FOR the Island’s/Jacob’s agenda and against both Ben and Widmore.

Yeah…I really think that a lot of people are trying to over-complicate the time travel on the show. With the exception of Desmond, Lost is using a very deterministic model of time travel: What happened, happened and there’s no changing it unless you’re Special™. And even then, there’s “course-correction” to figure in.

As far as the Lamp Post is concerned, I find it interesting that neither it nor the bit of Australian outback inhabited by Isaac of Uluru match up with any of the known Vile Vortices ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vile_Vortices ), while other known locations involving Island temporo-spatial weirdness are, such as the Island’s presumed location at the time of the crash of 815 and the Nigerian desert outside Tunisia where Ben appeared after turning the wheel, are Vile Vortices.

Really has me wondering what the Lost-mythological explanation for that is…

Is it “I remember dying.”?

Because on second and third watchings of the preview, that’s the moment that stands out.

If you aren’t sure, then don’t sweat it. You REALLY wouldn’t want to know in advance.

Yeah…for a smart guy, our Jack can sure be dense. Even an empiricist like Arthur Conan Doyle put the phrase, “Once you’ve eliminated the impossible, what remains, however improbable, is the truth,” into the mouth of Sherlock Holmes.

The man watches an entire island disappear, knows a former paraplegic who can walk, and crashed in a remote place where someone needed *exactly* his highly-specialized skill-set rather urgently, and he still can’t bring himself to believe a little tiny thing like the need to reproduce as closely as possible the circumstances that brought him and the rest of the 815ers to the Island in the first place. *tsk*

Well, truth be told, I’m hoping it’s true ’cause that’s something I’ve been wanting to see happen for some time now and like what it would do for the story. I’m just peeved at ABC that they would do that to people who might have been less sure about that particular impending development.

That’s a fair cop. I’m sorry about that and have edited the article with a massive warning to people wanting the ending to The Dark Tower unspoiled to skip that ‘graph.

Yeah…I damn near spit out my beer on that one. But I really did think Lapidus’ line was just a bit funnier.

Well, I think one potential answer to that is to look at the occurrences WHEN Jacob needed a mouthpiece. Who else was around at the time? Just sayin..

By: MsDee

MsDee — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 21:54:32 +0000

What im curious about is …why does Jacob need a voice? Why can’t he speak for himself?

Bongjohnsilver you pose a good question. I may be wrong but something tells me aside from our questions/doubts about Ben’s allegiance, we really have no idea who is good and bad.

That’s not the reveal I think people are upset about (although it is a pretty big one too).

Cool thought, but…

I love the idea that Hawking and Faraday may have their own agenda… but I’m not too sure about the polarization of Hawking vs. Jacob – Christian Sheppard did tell Locke to go see Eloise Hawking before he turned the wheel, and since we’ve been assuming he does actually speak for Jacob, that doesn’t make much sense.

Thoughts?

Oh, and what about people’s thoughts on the unpredictability of the 316 crash, i.e. not bieng able to recreate the events exactly and 06ers being sent other places in time?

I just posted on the forums how I thought Hawking had her own agenda LOL
Her reactions to Dans name did it for me

I do… but I won’t repeat it here. I think it’s just misleading but I don’t know. I watch the “next week on LOST” at the end of each episode but I don’t watch the preview clips when they come out. They’re usually the first 7 minutes of the episode. We only get about 43 each week. I can take all 43 in one sitting.
