Am I glad I didn't stop watching this back in season 3 when the show was at its weakest point. The latest episode was just awesome.

p8 was stimulating for debate as [spoiler]it reveals so much.[/spoiler]
[spoiler]So we know that Jacks dad was resurrected on the initial crash. Its also been suggested that both Ben and Charles know that Locke has to go back because he is instrumental in something important and fundamental that must have happened an age ago. The statues/ruins are probably all of him, built by a previous group of inhabitants.[/spoiler]
One thing that has got people I know talking is the coincidence (or is it?) that [spoiler]both Sawyer's and Jack's crews have been apart from each other for 3 years. There are 2 points of view prevailing. I think that individuals move in time and can therefore meet any other individual at any other time in their life, regardless of how much time has passed relative to that person. I'm also getting this concept of the timelines running parallel to each other and therefore (since both are moving at 1s per s) the 3 years essentially being locked to one another.[/spoiler]
I don't know about that though. My though is that [spoiler]the Island has always been slightly out of time synch with the rest of the world, hence it being hard to navigate to. But the first plane crash happened when the Island was relatively in synch. By this I mean that traveling to the Island requires a movement through time as well as space. Initially this "portal" caused a shift in minutes or hours. But Ben's escape caused this portal to destabilise and Locke's escape restablised it - and locked the time discrepancy at 25 years (or whatever it is). Jack and Sawyer's crews thus diverged by 25 years and going back through the portal has just taken the 25 years off.[/spoiler]
None of this really explains what is REALLY going on though, though Richard's [spoiler]never aging could signify just moving through time. The Charles-Locke conversation does hint at this. Not being affected by the sonic fence suggests to me that Richard et al are either not human (see my spaceship theory in previous posts :p ) or are from the far future.[/spoiler]
Anyways, despite still having the "ohhh we know better than you aren't you riveted check out THIS mad shit" vibe Lost continues to keep me interested. Its not the Wire but then hell what is? :(

Now we have to listen to Ben as a child? ffs

Lost is something special. xD
I liked last Lost episode. The Miles parts were nice and Hurley parts were hilarious.
Oh, nice so find out who that movie guy belonged to... Miles
This season of the last few is VERY diffrent, yet i like it just as well anyway.
But i still think 1st was the best... probably.

I'm starting to have X-Files syndrome. Staring up at the insurmountable shitload of unanswered questions and thinking, "Either the writers are waaaay smarter than I am, or this is going to be a train wreck to rival the Star Wars prequels."
Since the the former has NEVER been the case with network television, I have a sinking feeling that the latter is true.
Notice how some of the early mysteries such as the numbers, the voice of the smoke monster, the re-appearance of dead characters (before the island starting jumping), etc. have been conspicuously absent for about the last two seasons? Like maybe we'll just forget about that stuff and concentrate on the shiny NEW mysteries being thrown our way every ten seconds. It all points to a huge hole in the ground that the writer's probably have no idea how to fill up, regardless of how well-written the new episodes are. There better be some dazzling answers to all this shit or I'm gonna be pissed.
X-Files syndrome. :grr:
I love this post now that the number is back in business, the whispers have been mentioned a few times and dead character has come back to life.
Hell, even Star Wars got it's mention. :cheeky:

Things have been looking up a bit the past two episodes but the post still stands IMO.
I predict aliens and/or God.

just for the symmetry of it all

Well, it's definitely[spoiler]going near some god-like stuff, since Anubis has reared his head in the temple and as the big-ass statue[/spoiler].

One of the suggestions that I have seen, which could make some sense is that The exit point in Tunisia was once an entrance point, and the Ancient Egyptians came from Egypt to Tunisia (not too far) and got onto the Island and set up shop. Conversely the reverse also makes some sense, that the Ancient Egyptians came from the Island, having come up with their society in isolation and then come out into Tunisia.
Could all be a load of bollocks, though.

Two new mysteries:
What's in the crate?
What lies in the shadow of the statue?
