Oh man how many more questions can we take!
Ok, so Jack has to give Locke his fathers shoes so he's a 'surrogate' for Jack's father... anybody want to bet that gituar that Hurley brought with him is Charlies'?
Absolutely it's Charlie's. That's the first thing I thought of.
What did Ben get upto the night before the flight?
I think Ben was doing his thing to get Kate, Hurley and Sayid on that plane. I guess we'll find out what he did soon.
Oh and correct me if I'm wrong, but the guy that said 'sorry' to Jack in line at the airport isn't he from Sayid's past (one of the Iraqi guard?) Speaking of which besides Sayid's armed officer escort, which parallels Kates escort on flight 815 BTW, that guy is the only one in first class that doesn't seem to know where they really were going. I feel sorry for the Econo class people.
... right now I'm going to leave that whole Jin-in-Dharma uniform for later... the show has a lot of explaining to do.
Yes, that was one of the Iraqi guards.
Jin was in Dharma uniform because they flashed back to the time when Dharma was running the island and building stuff, and I'm guessing Jin, Sawyer, Farraday, etc all figured out a way to blend in with the Dharma people. Remember, Farraday was also dressed in Dharma gear inside the Orchid station construction.
I wonder if young-Ben knew Julliette and had a crush on her and that's why he eventually found her and recruited her to the island as part of the Others?
Did Frank teleport with them? Did the plane crash or did they just disappear? Why on earth would a plane with all of the Oceanic 6 even be allowed to take off, aren't they famous?
I think they're all now in the past at the time the Orchid was constructed. We'll soon meet young Charlotte. I think Ben was out framing Sayid to get him on the plane.
Now begins the parallel to the beginning while we have current happenings (with respect to the timeline's of the Losties) while we have flashbacks to the mainland up until Locke's suicide.
I don't think the plane crashed. I think that the Oceanic 6, Ben, Locke, and Frank all flashed to the island. Maybe that Iraqi guard guy also ended up on the island- maybe he was touching Hurley during the flash. That would make for a new plot-line for Sayid.
I don't see how Ben could possibly frame Sayid, have him arrested and extradited to Guam so quickly (within one night). It'll be interesting to see how the writers explain that one.
They didnt teleport, they were taken back in time. The plane did not travel back in time and likely continued flying normally. Jack and the others 'fell' out of the sky because the plane did not exist in 1970 or whenever they are now.
I think Frank is with them, because Charlotte and Miles were also traveling through time on the island. Anybody who was on the island when Ben turned the wheel should have been effected the same way.
Anybody else think Locke will be alive now, since they are in the past?
I don't think they literally fell (I guess that's why you have ' ' around 'fell'). It doesn't work that way though in terms of the plane not also traveling because it didn't exist in 1970 (or whenever)- so far, if they're touching something, it travels with them. Remember, Sawyer brought that piece of rope from the well with him when that flash occurred. I can't explain why they were able to flash from being 20,000 ft in the air to being safe on the ground without falling and, well, going splat.
I think Locke will be resurrected by the island (like Jebus, who, as the story goes, sacrificed himself for the greater good because of faith, only to be resurrected later), I don't think it has anything to do with them being in the past. It's more to do with him having complete faith in doing what is right for the island. He went and brought everyone back even though he knew he would die (and thought he would never go back to the island). Being brought back to life will be his reward. Jack is like St. Thomas- he has to touch the wounds to believe. I think this because: a) John's too good a character to kill off, b) he's yin to Jack's yang, and c) he was in the previews for next week. Looks like Ben was involved in His suicide. Stupid previews.
That's what I think...... so far.
