did jacob fix the lottery hugo won with the numbers?
-
christian implied the losties created the specifics of the purgetory for themselves subconsciously somehow.they were saying our subconsciouses are god or somethingHe was unknowingly waiting for his true love, Libby.
-
so the producer are nothing but filthy con men. i agree.I meant they didn't show him (Jacob) touching Locke when he was a child. He needed to touch him to bring him back to life, it doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't touched earlier.
that's a stretch. there's no reason to think richard would do any such thing without orders from jacob.i suspect there's also another self-contradictory looping time travel paradox involved in this.Richard wasn't testing him as much as trying to figure out when this guy that visited him in the past as a 40 year-old was going to realize it and become more useful. -
the show distinctly emphasized jacob touching (effectively choosing) jack, locke, hurley etc. as adults in the same fashion as he touched kate and sawyer as kids. can't really get away with saying he touched hurley as a kid without calling the producers dishonest bastards. but i already did that i guessDidn't he have the mirror in the lighthouse pointed at Jack's house that he grew up in?
-
yeah it was when he fell (in the incident)Although with Locke it wasn't shown
locke as a boy failed the test richard gave him. why would they be testing him if he were already a candidate?Richard still visited him as a child a couple times -
he only molested kate and sawyer as kids. the implication was he hadn't touched hurley, jack, locke, or sun/jun until they were adults.Everyone met Jacob early in their lives.Remember Sawyer met Jacob at his parents funeral -
i can think of lots of ways. as long as they are going all metaphysical with their answers they can do anything they want. but it has to make some sense. there shouldn't be things that are contradictory, like the sunk island in the afterlife or whatever. i'm looking for continuity.in fact i would have just ended the show with jack becoming a smoke monster. but they had to go for tear-jerker quotient over substance.A nice example of, "How the hell were they going to explain that in a way that wouldn't make it even more ridiculous than just leaving it as a mystery?" -
his body died apparently. his mind or soul or whatever became or was integrated into a/the smoke monster. as with everything no sense was made of any of that.Did he die when he became the smoke monster? -
after smokey came out of the cave jacob found MiBs physical body outside the cave in what looked like the exact spot where jack ended up. very confusing, but yeah maybe the island's protecter gets immunity to the smoke-monster-maker easy bake oven thing, even though it still kills himmy thoughts were because MIB died when he was thrown in, probably because he was carried by the current off the cliff - this theory would be supported by the skeleton they made sure to show at the bottom, but that could have been anyone, egyptian or otherwise
-
maybe they borrowed the manatees from family guy.far more likely the real explanation is at the beginning of S6 the Lost Script Magic 8-ball told them to put it in there. -
next: why didn't jack turn into a smoke monster?
-
so after jack dies in the real world, within the lifetime of a shark the island sinks the light goes out humanity dies and everything they did counts for nothing??? (actually i would have preferred that as the final scene - would have been a pretty cool dark existential nihilistic endingTo get to the other side? Maybe the island eventually ends up underwater, but remains the connection between the two timelines. According to Christian, there is no "now", so Jack's "plane ride" could be whenever, which could have been while the shark was still alive. ).
the real explanation is at the beginning of S6 the producers had intending the ALT to be an actual alternate timeline where the island sank, but didn't have the time or resources or creative power (or whatever) to pull it off, and had to pull a much simpler purgatory rewrite out of their asses sometime mid-season.Oh, **** it...I don't know if there's a real explanation for it, but it's pretty cool, eh? -
or maybe it was a mind transference experiment. that would explain the weird overly macho talking polar bears in the golden compass.That was a body mass transferring experiment. -
no, you quoted two posts where one person said the producers knowing what the final image would be from the beginning has no significance. it is not evidence they had any kind of plan in mind.I quoted two posts where one person said Jack's death had nothing to do with the plot -
ironically that would have been a satisfying answer for why the DI was experimenting with animals on-island.A Billionaire with a rare blood disease needs it for a radical experimental surgery. -
The Island is not Purgatory. The alt-timeline is Purgatory. ok why is there a dharma shark in the alt-timeline which is Purgatory?
-
why is there a dharma shark in purgatory?Obviously some of you feel the end of answers.Go ahead and ask and someone here will have the answers.Go ahead..what's your biggest question? -
absolutely did for meIt has also ruined any rewatchability the show had built up over the years. -
oops lol, thought that post sounded familiar.I'm pretty sure he was mocking delved there. -
having an imaginitive mind has nothing to do with wanting answers that make sense, particularly when that is what was promised.If you didn't have a very imaginative mind coming into Lost
not wrong - betrayed in the end. it WAS a plot-"derived" show for 5 seasons, with an intricate web of mysteries presented, answers doled out in sparing fashion stringing the viewer along, and more answers including to the biggest questions explicitly promised to be forthcoming. they producers were liars all along. as BG points out they are nothing more than con men - drug dealers getting everyone hooked on "answers to mysteries" crack, then leaving everyone hanging at the end and running off with a bag full of money (and trying to get more by sticking a few late teaser answers that likely won't add anything significant in the DVD set).the popularity and cult of speculation about this show became what it did BECAUSE people were intrigued by what the ANSWERS would be to the mysteries, not by the bare mysteries themselves. most viewers expected at least the major questions to have some sense made of them at some point. if people knew from the beginning that virtually all of the major mysteries would be left to the imagination lost wouldn't have lasted 2 seasons.and expected it to be a linear, non-deriving from the plot type of show, then you were wrong. -
in 2012lol @ those of you trying to fit all the pieces together...Hey! I hear Two and a Half Men is ending.

how soon is any time soon? fundamentalist religous belief of all kinds will be thoroughly marginalized within the next several generations in the USA. age demographics clearly indicate this is coming. it's just that a lot of old people and balloon sellers have to die first.
