NYTimes interview with JJ Abrams
The NY Times has an interview with JJ Abrams co-creator of “LOST” that you might be interested in reading. No secrets revealed, but it makes an interesting read.
LOST: SOS
Spoilers ahead…. You know the drill….
So, there’s something about the island that “cures” people. We now have four “miracle” cures on the show. Locke’s legs, Rose’s remission, Jin’s fertility problem, and Jack’s wife. OK, ok….the last two are suspicious… and we can only take Jin’s “cure” at face value because there’s still some question if that child really is Jin’s child. They did leave it pretty ambiguous, and we’re not sure if Sun’s English teacher is really the father.
If Jack’s wife’s cure really was due to Desmond being involved, that would mean that Dharma may been able to harness the “healing power” of the island. This would also fit in nicely with the theory that Jack’s father was working with Dharma, and allowing them to do secret experiments on patients. If they had been able somehow capture the healing power of it island, they would need to do some experiments to see if it was working properly.
My Lost Nanotechnology theory looks less plasible at this point, but I’m not ready to give on it completely yet. If you haven’t read that yet, you might want to take a look at it.
Another thing that we’ve discovered is that in the “Lost mythos”, the psychic healer that Rose went to see was sensitive to focusing the healing energy. This is probably at least one of the reasons that the
others have Walt, and are so reluctant to give him up.
Now, given all this, I think we might have had a hint during the first season about the down side to all these “miracle” cures. If you remember, at one point Locke started to lose control of his legs during Season one. This was when he was with Boone in the jungle. Why did it happen then? Was it because he was “out of range” of the part of the island where the healing was strongest? The show tonight implied that Rose believed if she left the island, her illness would return. (She didn’t come out and say this….Bernard did).
That could be what the Dharma people are working on. Making the “miracle cures” more permanent.
LOST: Was Henry Gale on during Season One?
Could Henry Gale have been on Season One? A lot of the LOST fan sites are saying that it might be true. The speculation is that Henry may have been the repairman that Hurley told to not mess with the light bulb in the “Numbers” episode.
If that’s true, I think this is part of a continuing theme that’s been going on for some time now. We’ve already seen this happen in a much more obvious way when Jack met Desmond. Were there others?
I’ve suspected that they might have been “guided” (for lack of a better term) to get onto that plane. Again, the only obvious incident we’ve seen is Claire’s psychic insisting that she get on that plane.
What do you think? Are both these men Henry Gale?
LOST: Why was there an invisible map on that blast door?
If you haven’t taken a look at the map that Locke saw on the blast door, you should go take a look at it now. It’s far from just a random bunch of scribbles.
Who actually made the map? Was it just one person? Was it Desmond? Was it “Kelvin
LOST: Dave
Spoilers ahead….
Turns out that my earlier prediction about Libby turned out to be true:
From my 01/26/06 posting:
“I think the reason Hurley recognized Libby was not because he stepped on her foot (he was at the front of the plane, and she was at the back!, but because she was a nurse or possibly a patient in the hospital he was in.”
Obviously, there are a lot of ramifications to that really being true. Did Libby become so obsessed with Hurley at the hospital that she followed him around after they both got out? Did Libby see Hurley on the news, after he won the lottery, break out and follow him to Australia?
Any way you look at it, this doesn’t look good for Hurley.
LOST: official websites
Someone pointed me at a LOST website earlier today at http://www.oceanicairlines.com. It showed some odd numbers and some blinking squares. I’d forgotten that that is not an official ABC website (although, they might have bought the rights to it, but I doubt it).
Thanks to those folks who wrote in.
LOST: Locke’s home inspection.
A friend pointed this out to me… not sure how I could have missed it:
In the “Lockdown” episode, there was a flashback where Locke was talking to a woman after having inspected her home.
That woman was Sayid’s Nadia from Iraq!
LOST: The Words on the Blast Door!
I’ve posted a new page with all the words on the blast door that John Locke saw on tonight’s episode. Right now, I’ve only posted the words, and I’m working on getting a better picture to post as soon as I can.
EDIT: See the image I used to get those words on my Lost Hatch Map Page. And, to give credit where credit is due, I got this from a picture that “steveslp” posted on http://www.thefuselage.com/. I was sent this link by my friend John.
LOST: Lockdown
SPOILERS AHEAD! Don’t read this if you haven’t seen the show yet. You’ve been warned.
Great episode! A couple of the Easter eggs I noticed were the Oceanic Airlines flights going over the hotel where Locke met his father, and the address on the license at the end of the show was “815”. (8, 15…two of “The Numbers”).
A couple of questions…. Where was Henry when Locke called for him? Since Henry has been determined to be an “Other”… Why is he there? Is he doing the “Ana Lucia” thing, and getting put in with the people he’s trying to find out about? Is he biding time to try and get Claire’s child, Aaron? And since his name isn’t Henry…. Who the heck is this guy really?
It flashed by pretty quickly, but the drawing that Locke saw looked like locations of the hatches. The one at the bottom had a Swan logo in it. This might help them find the locations of the other hatches.
Looks like a Hurley episode next time. Can’t wait!
