Now, wanting Locke to flash on the island about the alt universe (or the alt Locke to flash about his possessed body) makes a lot of sense given the other flashing we've seen.

I think Des's goal was to awaken Locke to the truth. Just like Charlie did for Des. I think a happy by-product of the "attack" is that Locke will potentially go the hospital. Probably to be opporated on by Jack. I think Sun is probably headed there as well. I think this is fortunte for Des because he wants to awaken all 815ers. So, ultimately, this will serve multiple purposes.
But I don't think Des was thinking, "Hey, if I run this dude over with my car he will be in the same room with Jack! Crikey! That's what I have to do!!" |

Probably not the case... BUT my first thought was that killing Locke in the ALT timeline would replace Flocke with the real Locke on the island timeline... and MIB would again be noncorporeal. Doubtful that is the case, but just my first reaction...

In an interview yesterday Hugo said that MIB/Flocke doesn't lie. I think he's trying to get the lostees together to kill them all at one time. The trick will be tricking one of them into doing it since choices have to be made of free will and he said he wouldn't harm them.

What to make of previous promises that this is not purgatory and all answers will be scientific and not fantasy?
I mean the Whispering Dead of the island suggests purgatory is at least in the mix.

Most people immediately thought it was purgatory after the first few episodes, but the producers immediately dismissed it. They couldn't let everyone know that it WAS a purgatory, thus giving away their "secret". It's telling to me because no one has dismissed the idea that the island isn't Hell, as Richard so described it. Also, Hurley says to Michael "The voices. They're from people that can't move on", meaning it's some kind of "holding place" between Heaven and Hell. Again, that hasn't been dismissed by anyone. |

"we were not lying, it's not purgatory"
That rises above 'dismissal.'

It wasn't a leap of faith or having a very active imagination to have your first thought be that the island is some kind of purgurtory. They had to know thats what everyone would think right out of the gate. If your goal was to reveal its really purgatory at the end then you needed to conceal or misdirect much more often and earlier in the series.

Wow, I guess everyone thought the same thing about last nights epi as I did since there has been no posts on it and this thread was on page two before my reply. Epi was fairly pointless IMO. Not much occurred.

Most interesting part of the whole show was the convo between Sayid and Des. Time suck till the finale...after the last two GREAT epi's I was really disappointed in this one. For the relationship lovers, (my wife, for example) I think it moved toward Kate and Sawyer becoming the real thing. |
