Crossroads

While scanning the LOST theories forums in my spare time, call it an exercise for my brain, I stumbled upon one theory which was so interesting that it caught my fancy. That being said let’s strap in for another thrilling installment of

LOST TOMFOOLERY!!

This week on LOST Tomfoolery, Deja Vu, a glimpse of the future, or a thing of the past. For most of us LOST fans, the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 are first time visitors. However, there is some speculation some inhabitants of the Island are only experiencing Deja Vu because they have been there before. I know, i know, it seems silly but look at it from a slightly different angle then normal time. Just as in the training videos there are more than one Rabbit with the same number painted on their sides, perhaps the island has created completely separate time lines. This is evident in Season 1 episode 11. After Jack gets his ass kicked by Ethan he takes off into the woods.

“I’m not letting him do this” (Jack)
“Not Letting him what” (Kate)
“not again” (Jack)

This suggests that somehow Jack is remembering a time when Ethan successfully Killed Charlie and Jack couldn’t do anything to save him. Think about these situations as well;

Perhaps Desmond’s visions into the future are actually memories of the past.
Maybe the “Musician” who programed the looking glass’ keypad, was Charlie.
