Sorry, what I meant was in “This Place Is Death”, not “The Lie”.
Since everyone including myself seem to be paranoid and spoilerphobes now that the finale is nearing, I just need to place a caveat here that I am merely speculating and have been spoiler-free since season 4.
Anyways, I have another addition to this flashing back to ancient times theory. In order to time travel back to present time, could it be that our losties themselves were the ones who created the donkey wheel? Just thinking.

I can see this flashing to the ancient past happening. We saw this episode that resurrected Locke ordered Alpert to tell the 2004 Locke that he needed to die. In “The Lie”, there was someone else who told Locke that he needed to die and it was Christian in the caves. Remember there was one more flash and Christian’s backdrop actually look like its a very ancient location. I can imagine resurrected Locke going back to this ancient time and telling Christian in the cave that he will find an injured man, and that he would need to tell this man that he needed to die to bring everybody back and to say regards to his son. Remember too that at this very same time when Locke went down the well, after the flash, there was Sawyer & company in a time when there was no well yet, and the Statue was still there! Omg, I think we just figured how the next season will pan out.
Is this the war that Widmore was talking about? The war between the egyptian god and smokey as seen in the heiroglyphics in Dead is Dead? What role will our losties play in this part of the island’s history?
How will Desmond play in this scenario? Will he be the force to finally bring all our losties to their right time/present time? I can’t wait.

I think he did write it all down, remember Eloise had the book wondering how her handwriting was in it. She probally kept the original book the whole time.

Love your articles. Love to speculate. I’ve actually been speculating quite a bit on the guitar that never leaves Hurley’s side. I’m thinking Charlie told him he had to go back, and by doing so they would meet again. This was the ultimate bromance on the island, so perhaps Hurley’s brought his best bud’s guitar so he has peace once again (he seemed very out of sorts without his guitar until Locke told him to look up)…

The idea of them going back to that time would be a great closure on the statue and smoke monster being that knowing their origins is in a sense a conclusion. They also briefly mentioned a Volcano erupting on the island a very very long time ago. What kind of ashes are around the cabin?

Also the fact that the Others speak “Latin” one of the oldest languages hints towards this. As far as we know out of the current group only Juliet speaks Latin, but that may not be the case seeing we have another season to see.

Also mister eyeliner, I can picture him with an egyptian headress hmmm? I know latin was spoken in Egypt during the middle ages before that was prob arabic. So in my opinion knowing the origins would make for a great closure or even continuation with the “time-loop” theory.

was anything ever said about, when they entered 77 into the computer and the flame blew up that maybe it somehow set the island up for the 815ers to travel to 1977?

probably way off but i thought of it and cant get it out of my head.

We don’t really understand the nature of Daniel’s memory “problem”, but we do know that he used his consciousness device on himself, BEFORE he used it on Theresa.
And, that being the case, it must ave worked, at first.
And, that being the case…we don’t really know the extent of what Daniel knows, now do we?
As long as he kept putting things in that journal, perhaps he was able to keep track of WHEN he was…to a certain degree???

I’ve decided that WHH and that the incident takes place and one of the 815ers die and the energy released from the incident pushes the 815ers in 1977 to travel to the present or actually the resent past/present.

Hurley brought that guitar case with him on Ajira 316 in 2007, the guitar that Locke found for Charlie in the jungle in season 1 was the one that Charlie brought with him on Oceanic 815 in 2004. That guitar, for all intents and purposes, was still on the island somewhere when Charlie dove down to the Looking Glass station and drowned.

I think you are right when you speculate everyone will end up in the same time period, but I disagree with it being the ancient past.

How about the future? Way in the future…Darlton have always been very specific in saying that the show will create “a mosaic of the past, present and future.”

We’ve seen the past this season. We spent three seasons seeing the “present.” Season four showed us the “future” (which is now the past for all involved). It’s about time we see some Island future, wouldn’t you say?

if Jack and the others could survive it so could a guitar packed in a hard road case like it was in

When Faraday was in 2007, he was not in a condition to understand much because of his memory problem. I doubt Widmore or Hawking told him anything. I’m thinking that while in Ann Arbor in 1977, he must have found a way to see future, saw how events played out, and knew he had to make things happen. Why else would he want to branish a gun, having never held one before, while walking into the Others’ camp. Mighty suspicious along with the post that also suggested the “coincidental” meeting with Chang was nothing of the sort. Faraday KNEW what was to happen. He just needed his variables to try to change it.

“Everyone currently on the island (with Ilana and crew) as well as the time-travelers in 1977 will find themselves together in one time period – a long time ago, under the shadow of a fully intact statue.”

Regarding the guitar case: Hurley was probably told by a ghost to leave the case in the tree that Locke and Charlie found it in. No way could an acoustic guitar survive the crash and hitting the tree.
