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.

Ladies and Gentlemen, here it is. The first of a weekly segment I call LOST tomfoolery. Here I will be sharing with you my most eccentric LOST theories, thoughts, and other bits of minutia.

Tonight, I will fill you in on one of my oldest and most ridiculed theories about LOST. Christian Sheppard is alive. That’s right, alive, all of you laughing and scoffing will be proven wrong in time. We have seen his empty coffin, we have heard Jack refer to him as being just “up-stairs” in the future, and we have even seen him kickin’ it in Jacob’s cabin (most likely having a drink and listening to a little Grateful Dead.)

Now, don’t get me wrong, I can’t explain to you how he is alive. Perhaps it has to do with the Islands properties, maybe he faked his own death, who knows. All I can say is that he is alive. If you need even more proof, check out this LOST webisode. Now, from what I have heard this is the only webisode which can be counted as valid in the real story, which only goes to prove my point.

“I need you to wake up my son, He has work to do.”

So concludes the first ever LOST Tomfoolery, tune in every weekend and Thursday for new installments of, LOST Tomfoolery.

I just wanted to shout out a shameless plug for Jay and Jack’s LOST podcast. During their most recent episode they featured my call, and as corny as it sounds it made me pretty excited.

My favorite part of James’ call was “So Carl is dead… Whatever”

Every week Jay and Jack provide a plethora of LOST info along with plenty of laughs that remind me of the often misunderstood humor between my self and my own Dad. So here’s to Jay and Jack *raises non-existent glass.* Go check out their site and subscribe to one of the best podcasts out there.

I know, I know, after reading this post and the last one you probably think that all I do is sit around watching t.v. but bear with me. There are few combinations of actors better than Sean Connery and Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” The movie itself is a Timeless classic, and yet sitting here watching I can’t help but wonder what it is that makes it so. I don’t think that it is the clever lines, or even the special effects, instead I think that it is the fact that the movie takes its audience on a journey that matters. It sounds cliche, but “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” actually makes you think. What would you do if you were presented with the key to eternal life, how would you respond to the temptation? It’s these same kind of questions that draw people into the television show LOST. Sure there are also the questions like, “What the heck is the smoke monster,” or, “who is Jacob,” but there are also the fundamental questions of what kind of person you would become under that kind of stress. Are you Jack or just an extra? That is what makes these few movies or t.v. shows timeless, they ask you to ask yourself questions.
