I just hope whatever they finally do decide to say it is (if they ever do...) that it's something that isn't a complete let-down.
I'll say this much, I never, ever envisioned a television program this "deep" making the airwaves on a major network. |

Yep. And thus far, my only real complaint was the travesty that was Season 3 (with the exception of the ending like 4 episodes).

It's not "Purgatory", a place where souls who aren't ready for Heaven or evil enough for Hell to reside. If so, there would be millions (if not tens of millions) of people on the island. It's also not an island in the South Pacific that's uncharted. This is my "theory" and I brought it forward from February as a reminder because I've been told there will be some major reveals in the next three episodes. So either I'll be right or wrong but it will be out there for everyone to see. |

I'd advise renting the DVD sets over the break between seasons. It's got a deep "mythology".
Considering the multiple themes reflecting dualism, I've been wondering if the Island is a variation on Schrodinger's Box. Then again, it could be projection as I'm such a fan of the thought experiment.

The theory makes some sense. It fits what we've seen of the island to date.

If true (and that's a big if)...would that make Orchid Station "Schrodinger's Cat Door"?

A complete set up episode but I loved it. This was the backstory of Locke that I needed. He is a scientist at heart. Which is interesting. And then the whole orderly....
The time travel was explained but in reverse this time. This time it came to the island BEFORE, whereas Faraday's experiment came in LATE. |

So anybody know who the picture above the Geronimo Jackson poster in Locke's locker was?

I expected to see Richard Alpert pop up, but Abbadon as the orderly caught me by surprise.
I was really hoping Frank was going to bail out of the chopper and take his chance with a water landing. Keamey needs to die. Then again, it'll be more fun to watch Ben take care of it. "We need to move the island". Physically, or Temporally? Then again, what's the difference? As Poe put it all the way back in 1848 "Space and duration are one"...beating Minkowski by about 60 years. The "Man of Faith" is a Man of Science who rejected that path? He chose the knife instead of the Book of Laws. Dharma involves duty or obligations to the order (laws) of the cosmos. There's a little fodder for free association. Have to let that percolate for a while. Missed it. I'll have to check for screencaps later tonight on darkufo.

Sorry, explained more about it. It offered new details. It didn't explain it as in "why". Poor word choice. |

Found the comic book cover extremely interesting.
