The Lost Rewatch: What I Have Noticed, Part 1

Time
In "Walkabout", Charlie says, "...last I heard we were positively made of time."
In "House of the Rising Sun", Michael says, "...I figured, hey, why let a $20,000 dollar watch go to waste which is ridiculous since time doesn't matter on a [darn] island."

Misc.
I was bored, so I watched some of the Deleted Scenes for Season One. The deleted flashback from when Claire talked to 815's pilot caught my attention. Claire confessed to Seth Norris that she was giving her baby up for adoption because a psychic told her to.
---
PILOT: Uh, look. My mom and dad split up when I was 10. My mom got real depressed; she went and saw this tarot lady that all her friends swore by. She pays tarot lady $400, and tarot lady tells her she is gonna marry this tall light-haired man of healing, with a name that starts with the letter R. Mom was going for Roger.

CLAIRE: What happened?

PILOT: Well, she dumped her boyfriend, Bernard, computer programmer, short, bad comb-over, and then Bernard sold his company from $39 million. My mom’s still waiting for Roger to show up.

Could it be the same Bernard?

The Incident: My Rantings

LOCKE IS STILL DEAD!!!!! Who is resurrected Locke if not Locke himself? Obviously he is Man #2 who wanted to kill Jacob. But who is he? Why did he want to kill Jacob so badly? Who is Jacob? And is he dead? What lies in the shadow of the statue? Ricardus knows. And he answered in Latin. And even though I took two years of Latin in high school, I still have no idea what he said. Tha answer is probably something obscure. And how old is Richard? Who is Richard? How did Jacob stop Richard's aging? Why? Everything that happened at the Swan site I didn't see coming? Juliet detonated the bomb. What happened after Juliet detonated the bomb. And Chang probably lost his arm, but his son saved him from much worse. Bye bye Phil. Sawyer cried. Vincent! And Rose! And Bernard! Yay! Interesting lifestyle. Who is Illana? And Bram? Who do they work for? And how and why did they find Locke's body? AND LOCKE IS STILL DEAD!!!!!!!!!! Jacob! We finally meet him. And then he is killed. By Ben. Who killed Locke. WHO IS STILL DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And Jacob is dead. Who didn't care about Ben. Who killed him. But is Jacob actually dead? And Jacob was throughout the story the whole time! He wasn't Just Another Con Of Ben's. He's a real person. And immortal! So how is he dead! What's the loophole? How did Man #2 find it. And why is he impersonating Locke? AND HE IS STILL DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sayid! Was shot by Roger. And may die? And he watched Nadia die? Who killed Nadia? JOHN LOCKE IS STILL DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whatever Happened, Happened

Sayid shot young Ben!!! It was shocking! It was unexpected! It provided the perfect cliffhanger; did Sayid change the past and "kill Hitler." My guess is no. The next episode is titled "Whatever Happened, Happened." Ben was shot by Sayid because he was always shot by Sayid. Because Ben is in the future, he survives in the past. You can't change the past. My theory is this: Once again, Ben is going to be dying, and Jack will have to operate on him and save his life. Once again, Jack will be faced with the dillemma: to save Ben or to let him die? But he will know that he saves Ben, because he saves Ben in the future. And future Ben knows Jack will save him because Jack already saved him once. "Loop, dude." But how will Jack, who is believed to be a Workman, be chosen to operate on Ben? Probably the same way mechanic Juliet delivered baby Ethan. It just happens. That's just my theory. I may or may not be right. But it is interesting.

Fun With Anagrams

Throughout LOST we have seen many anagrams: Ethan Rom (Other Man), Mittelos (Lost Time), Hoffs-Drawler (Flash Forward), Canton Ranier (Reincarnation). Thanks to the helpful Internet Anagram Server, I have anagrammed some of the LOST character's name with some hilarious results. 

Kate Austen: A Steak Tune
James Ford: Same Fjord
Charlie Pace: Peach Eclair
Benjamin Linus: Blame in Jin Sun
Alex Rousseau: Sexual Arouse
Daniel Faraday: Lead Any Afraid
Miles Straum: Slammer Suit, Saltier Mums, Laser Summit, Mature Slims, Summer Tails, Mauls Mister
Martin Keamy: My Mania Trek
Desmond Hume: Mushed Demon
Ji Yeon Kwon: Enjoy I Know
Richard Alpert: Charred Rat Lip
Ana Lucia Cortez: Calico Azure Ant, Car Auction Zeal.

That's it for now. More to come!

A Theory and a Revelation

This morning I had a theory and a revelation about Lost. REVELATION: Even though there are no more flashbacks/flash forwards anymore, there are (bear with me.) When the Left Behinders are moving through time, they are flashing back and forward. So although there weren't any flashbacks to 1954, they literally flashed back to that year. THEORY: There are five people/groups who have crashed on the island. We have only seen four.
  1. Oceanic 815 Crash (Pilot; A Tale of Two Cities)
  2. Desmond's Crash (Live Together, Die Alone)
  3. The Nigerian Beechcraft (Because You Left)
  4. The French Team Crash (The Little Prince)

The only other crash that we have not seen is Henry Gale (and possibly wife)'s crash in their hot-air ballon. This was a plot point in Season 2 to introduce Ben, but hasn't been seen since. While the Left Behinders are flashing through time, will they see Gale's balloon crash? It's just a thought.

Welcome!

Welcome to Brian Blogs LOST! I'm Brian, and this is my blog about the hit TV show LOST. About This Blog I've been a fan of LOST ever since the first episode. LOST is the first (and so far only) TV show that I have faithfully purchased every season on DVD. I have been perplexed by all the mysteries, yet have watched the show all the while it gets weirder and more supernatural. My original purpose for this blog was to start writing recaps and analysis for each episode of LOST, as inspired by Therese Odell's LOST blog on Chron.com. However, since Therese's blog is so brilliant, and any blog I create would never measure up, I am now going to just post my thoughts and theories here.
