Charlie Travels Through Time Just Like Desmond

I posted this on The Fuselage board in response to someone not realizing what I meant about Charlie and Hugo, so I thought I’d post it here too.

Charlie’s dead. He even said so.

We already know that time travel is involved in the story line, and we know that people that are experiencing this can interact with people in the time line they’re visiting. We’ve seen it. Desmond did it, and talked to Ms. Hawking in the antique shop. Desmond even interacted with Charlie in the past (on the street while he was playing his guitar, before the plane crash).

If Desmond can travel back in time, why couldn’t Charlie travel forward in time… a time in which he was dead?

Say that Desmond realized that everything that was happening right now (the show we just saw, and those to shortly follow) was going completely wrong, and things “aren’t supposed to happen this way” as Locke would say. People got off the island that weren’t “supposed” to. What would Desmond do?

If Desmond was able to travel back again, this time to the island after the crash, and talk to Charlie, don’t you think that Charlie would be willing to talk to Hugo to give him that message?

Since Hugo saw people that didn’t exist before, his natural reaction to seeing Charlie would be to completely freak out. I think that’s exactly what the writer’s would want us to believe.

The thing that stands out to me is that the other patient at the hospital saw Charlie, and told Hugo about it.

I don’t know how Charlie did it. Maybe Desmond went back dragged him into the hatch, or there’s some other way to do it. But if a rabbit could do it to Dr. Candle (or whatever name he was using in that video we saw over the long break), I think Charlie could too.

LOST: The Beginning of the End

Spoilers ahead

First, another question left over from last season: How did Penny know to broadcast on that frequency to talk to Charlie?

OK…on to tonight’s episode of LOST: The Beginning of the End

I enjoyed it. A ton of unanswered questions, a few easter eggs, … well, it wouldn’t be LOST with out that, would it?

All in all, I enjoyed the show. I saw right off that it was Hurley in that car (his hands gave it away). The fact that Charlie is dead, but not really, brings up two really interesting things about what we’re seeing: 1) Christian and Yemi were likely the same sort of manifestations from something on the island, and 2) we saw Charlie when he was OFF the island.

Does that mean that the island is doing that? That was my first thought, but while I was mulling this over, I think it’s more likely that Charlie is bounding around in time the same way that Desmond did last season. I think both Christian is doing the same thing, and that’s what Jack saw in Season One.

The “did you notice” things:

The “flash forward” scenes in this episode occurred before the “flash forward” scenes from last year’s finale because Jack said he was thinking of growing a beard.

That was Christian sitting in the chair when Hurley looked in the cabin.

That “fancy phone” comment from yesterday that seemed so out of place in yesterday’s disastrous “popup video”-style show was a phrase that Rose used during tonight’s premiere.

Hurley referenced the same thing that Jack said in last year’s finale: They’re not telling the truth about what happened to them.

That’s it for now… In the words of Locke, “We’re going to have to watch that again”.

Top 10 Things I Hope We Find Out In Season 4 of LOST

spoilers ahead!

Top 10 Things I hope to find out in Season 4 of LOST:

1) Whether Danielle is part of the same group that Jack radioed in the final
episode of Season 3. My guess is that she is.

2) What happened to Walt, if anything. My guess is that he’ll have been lost
at Sea, or will become “inexplicably” older.

3) What’s going on with the numbers 4 8 15 16 23 42? Hurley assumed that
they’re bad luck; I think they’re actually numbers that need to be repeated
in order to keep bad luck away. That would explain why the numbers were
being repeated over and over in the radio transmission that Leonard Simms
and Sam Toomey heard.

4) Whether or not the main characters’ fathers actually play (or played) a
larger part in what’s going on. I’ve thought since season 1 that Christian
Shepard played a part in Sarah’s miraculous recovery when Jack operated on
her after the car crash. I still think that whatever Dharma has in the
way of cures was something that Christian was using. Charles Widmore is
powerful, as is Mr. Paik. Widmore owns a construction company, the likely
company that built the hatches in the first place.

5) Whether or not the island is in a “slip stream” (for lack of a better word)
of time. The island is very hard to find, quite probably because it’s not in
the same time frame as the rest of the world. What better place to hide?
Remember, there is that issue of Jack telling Dr. Hammill to get his father
“down here” to see which of them is more drunk. Jack really couldn’t have
forgotten that his father was dead… Could he?

6) What the heck is Ben really working on? Is he really one of the “good
guys”, trying to keep whatever group is now coming onto the island from
exploiting whatever power the island has?

7) Who is in that coffin? Jack went to the funeral; Kate didn’t. Could it
have been Michael? Locke?

8) What’s really happening with Desmond? It appears that more people have
this ability, or are at least aware of it; especially after Ms. Hawking’s
discussion with him in the antique store.

9) What was the real purpose of the Swan station? Was it how the island was
kept hidden, or was the magnetic energy surrounding it used in some way by
Ben’s group?

10) Is John Locke going to end up being the “new Ben”? Ben sure seemed
freaked that John could see Jacob. I think everyone assumes that it was a
powerplay that Ben made to make sure he stayed in charge, and that might
be partially true. What if Ben realizes that John is dangerous in a way
that could be bad for everyone?

Only time will tell when (and whether) we find out the answers to these
questions.

What do you think? What do you hope is answered in the upcoming season?

FlyOceanicAir.com and Find815.com – New LOST websites!

Lost Logo
There’s a new web game going on, and if you’re a LOST fan, you should be playing.

I was just watching the SciFi channel, and a “commercial” for Oceanic Air came on!

It said to go to FlyOceanicAir.com. I did. If you’ve been there before, you should go again. There’s a new message at the site.

After viewing it, go to Find815.com. There are some videos, and a couple of places to explore. I’ve gotten through all the material available so far, and I’ll be posting all the thing I’ve found on a special page tomorrow.

In the mean time, check it out!

Hidden Lost Season 4 Easter Egg

A couple of video frames after Kate speaks in the Season 4 Sneak Peek Video, many images flash by. I freeze-framed the video, and saw the following two images. One has someone looking through a broken window, which I think is likely the shack which Ben brought Locke to. The next image was of Christian (Jack’s father) sitting in a chair. The chair looks like Jacob’s chair.

Lost Shack Window

Christian In Jacob’s Chair

What could this mean? Christian is Jacob?? No, I don’t think that’s likely. I think it’s a lot more probable that Jacob is manifesting himself as Christian.

As for who or what Jacob is, that remains to be seen.

Guess Who’s Coming Back to LOST?

Lost Logo
…SPOILERS AHEAD…

Guess who’s coming back to LOST? Cynthia’ Watros will be come back in her role as Libby in multiple episodes! Right now people are thinking that means she’ll be in flashback episodes. After last year’s finale, it could be a flash-forward. For all we know she could come back as a zombie.

Man, I hope not.

Anyway, it’ll be good to see how her whole story fits into the grand scheme of things. I suspect that Libby was a lot more sinister than we’ve been lead to expect so far.
