So after reading
's journal about lost predictions I was inspired to do a mental dump of LOSTNESSSSSSS.
SO last week by two bestust friends and I hired out season 5 for a LOST MARATHON of epic proportions. First of all, how crazy amazing are the DVD title menus! I think they're amazing. The best, for those unfamiliar with the title menus, sees Locke, lying under the menu options, in the desert after fixing the island in time and then the peoples come and take him away in their ute...and the menu never resets, so he's just gone. And then on the on last disk, once you've watched the final moment go BOMB-WHITE, and return to the main menu, after a few seconds the menu explodes and the titles hang suspended in white space. It's pretty darn gasmic.
Now I forgot just how epic this season was. My understanding of the main LOSTness storyline, is that every story has two sides, one light, one dark. Now I came to this conclusion after Ep. 4 - Walkabout. But now it has a bit more weight to it. So Jacob is like the light and Mr. X (who shall from here-on-in be referred to as Black Beardy Man or BBM for short) is the dark. There was a point that I thought Black Beardy man was Smokey himself. But after rewatching S5 I have rethought this conclusion. The reason I thought it was lies NOT in the shadow of the statue but under the temple when smokey was all bad ass and reflective and then Alix appeared in all her TRUST LOCKE glory. I thought she came out of the smoke, but on the rewatch I realised smokey gets the hell outta der before fake Alic rolls on in. So I believe that Black beardy man is all of de deadz pplz. This draws a very strong parrallel to the final season of Buffy, where the First was able to appear as any dead person to try and manipulate Buffy and the Scoobies.
Upon having his chest penetrated by Ben's uber-knife, Jacob spouts, "I guess you found your loophole". So gets me thinking, either your all loopholey because you can manipulate the living using the dead (how very devilish..) or because it was Locke's image he was using. Because we've seen a lot of the dead return, but Locke was semingly "brought back to life" by Jacob when he fell to his contantly referred to should-be-dead-but-am-not death. So Hurley is being manipulated by BBM, Jack saw BBM at the beginning and off the island, Claire is still being manipulated by BBM, Micheal was guided by BBM, Locke was manipulated by BBM into dying so that BBM could become Alix and manipulate Ben into following everything Locke (BBM) says and thus, killeth thou Jacob. Coz it seems that Jacob and Black Beardy Man can't physically hurt each other themselves.. and have been fightering for agez, using the Black Rockians many many years ago. Makes me wonder, if this was the case, is anyone else dead already? Like...Sayid died in the crash or Sun fell off a cliff or something. It seems to me that BBM tried to use people in life/death limbo to hurt Kate. Her dad's spirit controlled Mars and Sawyer when they were seemingly on their death beds... Perhaps he had planned to use Kate to carry out his plan, but later found that Locke had more connections and was MUCH more badass. Also, More Nikki and Paulo? They were buried alive, because Nikki was also paralyzed by the spiders that appeared to be sent by Smokey. (Also, while of think of it, This is the same thing that happened to the Psychic's daughter yes? And Mr. Eko listens to that tape and she wakes up during her autopsy? They thought she was dead after falling in the river.... My spider sense is tingling.)
I've seen a few people say JACOB IS EVULZ! But all I've seen him do is give people a choice and try to teach subtle lessons. Yeah he let Nadia die, but he saved Sayid. And isn't that a biblical thing or something, we are given the choice which is good and such?
I've probably slaughtered my understanding as I tranposed from mind to page, so if it doesn't make sense, feel free to question.
Predictions:
- Juliet is not dead....as I love her and she will live forever...
- Charlotte will come back and have awkward red headed babies with Faraday...who must also be back.
- I think that some sort of reset will happen. Perhaps they remember everything? It seems that there is enough potential for them to remember or something like that, with Jacob having visited several of the characters, possibly more or all of them. Suggests that they were always destined to be in the battle? So perhaps even without the electromagneticness they'll crash? What happened, happened. And so the first time around, the hatch was being built, the incident occured, the hatch was finished and the electromagneticness was contained (or so we gather). Perhaps now the hatch was being built, the incident occured, everything went BOMB-WHITE, the hatch was not finished and electromagnetism runs rampant every 108 minutes and the plane crashes anyway, but the island is triple horrific.
- Some sort of pissed-off giraffe will make an appearance.
- Hurley will provide more one-liners.
- Sayid will kill more people with household objects.
- Jack will tell more poor-me stories and yes, he'll cry about them.
- Claire will be LOST's version of Willow's Buffy and Charmed's Phoebe. She'll go all badass but not understand how it's wrong and uber evuls.
- Shannon and Boone will be all "Hey guys! What did we miss?
"
- Smokey is not the security system... Smokey's infection or BBM told Danielle it was the temple's security system to make her feel safe about going their. Of then Smokey/BBM f*cked it up but pulling a gun on her.
- Jack will have more showers and they will be shown for no story serving reason what-so-ever.
- LOST will end and I will cry.
I am sure I have more predictions...but just can't think of them at the moment... Perhaps I will post them later.
I am ever so interested to read what you all have to say about this! Let the discussions BEGIN!
BOMB-WHITE
