The season-1 Jack who was impulsive but basically took care of everybody and made semi-decent decisions. He is shaking off his mantle of guilt and hopelessness and coming back to re-assume his role as Lostie leader. That is why Jacob told Hurley that Jack HAD to come with him. To force Jack into the realization that he is the once and future king of his people.<br />Your welcome :)<br />MyStarbuckHatesLostMyStarbuckHatesLostnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-17112421678099773132010-03-02T09:19:06.348+00:002010-03-02T09:19:06.348+00:00abid - I don't think a death in one timeline w...abid - I don't think a death in one timeline will equal a death in the other, either way. The Alt-Flashbacks are in 2004, for one thing, whilst Island-events are now in 2007. But furthermore I guess we have to think of them like trains on different tracks. They might be running alongside each other, and maybe a passenger can see or reach out to the other train (Desmond?) but mostly they're independent of each other. At least, so far.<br /><br />Rasty - I agree with you. I think Darlton have referred to explaining the details as being like 'midichlorians', that tiresome explanation for The Force in Star Wars. It was better when The Force was a mystical power - same goes for the more fantastical elements of the Island.<br /><br /><br />StayPuft - It hadn't occurred to me, but the timelines don't discount it. The only puzzle would be why would Claire and Nameless get in a canoe out to sea when they're headed for The Temple?<br /><br />Andre/Tim - Given the accuracy of the names appearently used, I don't understand why 'Wallace' would be used either wrongly (for Walt) or cryptically (for Desmond). That Wallace was crossed out is perhaps the important part, perhaps meaning that the 108 'role' that Wallace once held has now been cleared for someone else to arrive. Again, this makes a good case for it being Desmond.<br /><br />Stitch - I'm not entirely against a level of forced artifice on the Alt-Timeline; it being used as a means of manipulations. . . Tough to explain away though!AngeloComethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05303083576143373383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-48604295816152460142010-03-01T22:26:25.314+00:002010-03-01T22:26:25.314+00:00Hi AC,

I am not...I had a wild thought...<br /><br />Wallace = Walt?<br /><br />I am not 100% behind the idea that Nameless has put his grips into Sayid. Could just as easily have been Jacob. After all, he's the one who sent Hurley to the temple with Sayid, Why would he expose one of his candidates to a takeover of that kind? Would Dogen know the difference between Sayid being claimed by Nameless or by Jacob?Andrenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-16214288283528658392010-02-27T23:37:31.568+00:002010-02-27T23:37:31.568+00:00Hey AC, I agree with you about the so-what nature ...Hey AC, I agree with you about the so-what nature of the X-world flashes. On another blog, I suggested that if we are following the flash-backs of Season 1, then we'd have plenty of time to repeat a second set of X-world flashes. Consider the first 7 (Kate, Locke, Jack, Sun, Sawyer, Sayid, Hurley) as WHITE's version of X-world. Then it would make sense we get BLACK's version of X-world (the order would be reverse, like in Season 1, from Outlaws to Born to Run). Maybe by having this darker contrast, we will get something meaningful in place with X-world, and possibly even bring it to an end.Fredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01474623954925835867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-89393754138940981612010-02-27T22:55:23.860+00:002010-02-27T22:55:23.860+00:00AC love the analysis again.

Jack is once again becoming the major figure in Lost.<br /><br />However my favourite character may be the on who you imply is coming to the island (Hopefully his team gets beat tomorrow). <br /><br />In my eyes there are only two people who Jacob can be referring too Desmond or Charles Widmore.<br /><br />The fact that Jacob said; "he'll find a way" makes me think that it's going to be Desmond. (For no other reason than Desmond manages to get places he shouldn't without Esau's intervention).<br /><br />I still have thoughts about who Desmond actually is? We know he raised his brothers from a relatively young age, after his dad (died/left). Could Jacob be his Dad?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-86135797239822649082010-02-27T17:17:38.872+00:002010-02-27T17:17:38.872+00:00Hey AC,

We see him use an oar as a crutch, and I instantly thought it might be alluding to Claire being the one using a gun to fire on our future Losties when they were time-travelling in Series 5.<br /><br />Haven't had a chance to look at the Season 5 episodes again, but just wanted to gauge your thoughts on it.StayPuftnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-30236379796926642902010-02-27T13:08:58.938+00:002010-02-27T13:08:58.938+00:00Lots of developments in this last episode, and whi...Lots of developments in this last episode, and while we are still to be given some actual answers, I think it's quite obvious the authors are laying the final pieces that will be reconnected together at the end of the season.<br /><br />I've in fact quite put my soul to rest as to getting objective answers about how exactly some things work on the island (i.e. why turning a donkey wheel would move the island, etc.), but I'm quite hopeful that we will be given answers as to how connect all the pieces together in order to make some sense of it, and about who Jacob and MiB really are.<br /><br />That's also more or less in line with that Darlton stated will happen during the latest official podcast, and I quite feel that, at least until this point in the season, they're on track to making it happen!Rastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011780407344149659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-72276754850641398992010-02-27T12:29:54.003+00:002010-02-27T12:29:54.003+00:00I enjoyed the episode but upon re-watching that sc...I enjoyed the episode but upon re-watching that scene where Jack gets smash happy is kind of irritating. Wish that hadn't happened..<br /><br />I don't agree with all of Sepinwall's post here but certainly that bit about Jack and Hurley running off to the Lighthouse:<br /><br />http://sepinwall.blogspot.com/2010/02/lost-lighthouse-classical-composition.html<br /><br />As I said, I enjoyed the episode but so far, apart from LA X, I'm still waiting for something to equal some of Season 5's highs. <br /><br />Also, a question...if someone dies in one timeline, do they die in the other time line as well? There has to be a dominant timeline at some point so I'm really hoping what you said about the happy vs. dark timelines isn't true.abidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17332035678380258681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6466288276801812505.post-78202182337772921672010-02-27T12:18:05.492+00:002010-02-27T12:18:05.492+00:00What about Ben?What about Ben?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
