EVIL PUPPET MASTERS

It’s amazing what new things crop up in your head after a week of contemplating the LOST Season 3 finale. Doc Jensen shares his questions, revelations and ANOTHER theory.

You know you have been chomping at the bit for this one, so without further ado…

Doc Jensen review of the LOST S3 Finale

Haven’t read it all yet, but…it’s DOC. You know it’s gonna be good stuff.

The best part about coming up with a fragment of a theory is to find someone else in the LOST fandom who has come up with the same theory…and already fleshed it out for you. Again, I warn you — DO NOT SCROLL DOWN IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN LAST NIGHT’S FINALE OF LOST!!!

Okay, I was examining a screencap of the newspaper clipping that Jack had — the only clue we have to who was “in the box” (so to speak). After doing some web searches, I started to lean towards the name Jeremy Bentham. Why him? Well, he was a philosopher at the time of John Locke — which could make him a NEW as-yet-unmet character…OR it could be an alias used by John Locke in the future.

I popped over to Lostpedia to see if I was alone in this theory, and VOILA!!! I found a fantastic breakdown of not only my Jeremy Bentham theory, but a whole list of theories of “Who is in the coffin?”. Very much worth the read, and that whole page of theories related to TtLG will break your brain. If you are into theories, you must go there FIRST.

This one is from our buddies over at From Inside the Box. There is some theorizing, but it comes from an educated showwatcher, so I’m good with that.

I am going to call this “speculation” as opposed to “theory” — after watching last night’s episode, I am nowhere NEAR ready to actually theorize yet. I need to rewatch it a few dozen times to do that!

FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN THE LOST S3 FINALE YET, GO NO FURTHER!!!

I think that Locke is in the coffin. Most of the board spec has said they think it is Ben, but I honestly can’t imagine them EVER getting Ben off the Island, dead or alive. And it would make sense — there were NO attendees of his funeral, yet Jack felt compelled to be there and was upset when he read the obit. Plus, Jack and Locke are yin and yang — they are each other’s antagonist. They have both been leaders of the Lostaways, but both have continually led the groups in opposite directions. IF their being rescued was some kind of life altering mistake, then that means Locke was RIGHT. Locke dying before Jack could make it right again would be devastating to him.

Second speculation (which is more theoretical) regarding Jack’s allusion that his father is alive in this futureflash — right now, I’m leaning towards alternate realities. Desmond was told by Ms. Hawking that “the universe has a way of course correcting.” Desmond did not alter his decision to leave Penny, because of what Ms. Hawking said to him — but on the Island, he repeatedly tried to stop Charlie’s death…even though he knew it would alter things and would become an inevitability. What if their rescue disrupts this natural course? And either sets them back to a time right before the crash, or changes what happened before the crash.

So so so many things to play with for the next 8 months, eh? Must go rest my brain now…

Quickly posting this before I head to lunch: Doc Jensen reviews “Greatest Hits”.

hijinx and speaker discuss LOST Episode 3.15 Left Behind and tell tales of LOST Weekend 2007

Okay, when I read the synopsis from ABC for the Lost episode 3.12 that will air on Wednesday, March 14th, called “Par Avion” (which is French for “By Air”), it was unclear whose backstory that is for. Usually you can tell by the tease or by who the guest stars are, but this one was very vague.

Well, a little birdie told me that the episode is a Locke-centric one. Taking into consideration the names of the guest characters (doctors and mention of a “crash site”) and the aforementioned “little birdie” telling me that this will be one of the best episodes of Lost…EVER…I am going to take a guess that this may be the episode that we learn how Locke got in a wheelchair! Now, this is PURE SPECULATION on my part, but c’mon…what else could it be????

The latest Lost article by Doc Jensen at Entertainment Weekly is up for your reading pleasure. Doc has some bits about tonight’s episode, as well as spoilers for the next episode — including references to a VERY IMPORTANT EASTER EGG that is supposed to be in the 3/7 ep.

Doc includes a theory by one of his good friends, and it is REALLY good — and y’all know that I rarely recommend a theory to read. This would be one of the one’s that is worth your time.

I know the subject line may seem a bit overdramatic, but if you have read as many theories about what is “really going on” with the LOST Island as I have, then you would understand.

I first clicked on this Washington Post blog entry, because it had a new revelation about LAST WEEK’s episode “Not in Portland.” It seems there is a message if you play the brainwashing scene in reverse — which is uber cool and MAY BE uber revealing. I’m not going to spoil it here, so that the proper peeps that found it get their credit. Just click on the article and it has an embedded video of the scene in reverse. Awesomeness.

The OTHER reason to read that blog article is for The Theory. It analyzes the hidden message in conjunction with THIS WEEK’s episode — and the fandom talk about what the Island is all about. The funny, and GENIUS, thing about this theory is that it did not originate from a fan or from Lost Labs — but from a true genius and his book, which made an appearance in last week’s episode. It is my favorite kind of launching point for a story, and something that I use in my own writing — WHAT IF what this book says is true…then WHAT IF that’s what this island is about. Again, I’m going to refer y’all to the article, because it deserves the credit, and credits the others who deserve it.

If this theory isn’t correct, I may actually be disappointed.

If you have a theory about what the Monster on Lost Island is, you have a couple of more days to tell the Lost producers your theory over at Yahoo! Answers.

The Associated Press has their video recap up for last night’s LOST. The end of the video does discuss some spoilers for next week’s episode, so be forewarned
