Lost


I love Lost. It really gets in my head. It's like a very well written book (where the author almost lost it in the middle there) and I love watching a well directed book. Its better though. Because there are all these puzzles. And clues. And if you're really observant you can figure a bunch of stuff out. There are many sites laden with Lost "Easter Eggs" which magnify and help explain hidden clues, but here are a few things they haven't yet written about. Two theories I'm throwing out there.

1) In the Season 3 finale, when we see Jack in the future with a beard, he attends a funeral. We don't know whose funeral he is attending, but it is potentially another survivor who has returned. After watching the season 4 opener, I think the funeral was Hurley's. The opener was a flash forward to Hurley, but it was behind in the time-line to the season 3 finale's flash forward (follow?). In the 4 opener, we see Hurley is disturbed and alone. We also see that the alleged attorney for Oceanic Flights, who sent this new crew onto the island, is onto him.

ed. I found out what the obituary for this funeral said, and the theory no longer fits.

2) The said alleged attorney and crew are revealed in the most recent episode to be after Ben. Ben originally came with his father as part of the Dharma initiative. But he eventually helped kill the entire Dharma crew in favor of the island's "original inhabitants". Not much speculation has been given to these people. We do know that the man who meets Ben in the woods on the island when Ben is a boy, Richard, has not aged while Ben has. I think Ben is being sought for killing the Dharma Initiative and that the "attorney" has something to do with Dharma and the experiments that were going on on the island by them.

You can Google Lost Easter Eggs for a ton more.

And I love a lot more about the show too. Like the characters. How deeply they are thought out, with their greatness and flaws. And the many different recurring themes in the show including faith vs. science, and the importance (or un-) of time. But those can each take several posts themselves.
