re: LOST "The Last Recruit" S6.E13 (Multi-centric)

i liked the episode for what it was which was pointing us in the direction of the finale. i liked multi centric sideways. i'm not gonna call it one of my faves, but i thoroughly enjoyed it.

i watch Lost on DVR and i start it at 8:20 so i can ffwd thru commercials. just about every episode this season i'll check the time and think we are halfway through the episode and it's like 50 min in.

i get pissed there are only 7 min left. this episode was no idfferent.

i just took this literally not figuratively. i'm sure people will spend the next two weeks talking about jack moving to the other side, but c'mon.




also, am i the only one that thinks MIB doesn't exist in the alt??? it seems way too many people think he's going to be there in some form. i would think the alt is a timeline free of jacob or MIB.

was that started b/c of sun's reaction to seeing locke in the alt?? couldn't she just be remembering and making a connection like the others?

also lastly, put me in the camp that MIB is stuck in locke's form b/c of jacob dying. i thought darlton confirmed this but i have no linky to back me up.

I don't think anyone has any issue with you stating your theory. I'm curious to find out if you are right. The issue came when you started acting as though your theory has been proven correct, when in fact, it has not.

---

i never realized that i was the only one that has ever made a broad theory and claimed it to be right.

For this I apologize

If Jack stays on the island and takes Jacobs place then shouldn't he cease to exist in the ALT timeline?

Yes, Jack will be eating lunch with his son and then all of a sudden, *poof* he disappears into thin air.

ryno, i think that all of our losties exist in the alt. in some way shape or form. just my opinion.

if your theory is right and someone has to stay behind and not exist in the alt then who have we not seen yet?

richard? MIB? jacob? (with the assumption that richard's history was a flashback and not a sideways)

don't know if i'm on board with that.

Yeah I see what you are saying. I'm not really posing a theory, just trying to logically think through what happens next if A is true, vs. what happens if B is true.

I was also trying to think about who we haven't seen in the ALT, but I think you may be right, so far just Richard and MIB, Jacob.

Was anybody kind of bummed out after the MIB called out Locke as being stupid for thinking there was a purpose?

---

Yep, but after I thought about it some more, I really think it's MIB's way of getting Jack to doubt his own purpose so MIB can manipulate him into getting off the island.

Richard was from the 1800's and would have long since died, so it wouldn't make sense for him to be there in the 2000's right?

Maybe they just know no one gives a crap what's going on with Michael.

that's an interesting point b/c then i was thinking about people who haven't shown up yet. ana lucia, shannon, eko, etc.

but then libby has been shown in the alt so maybe that torpedos that idea. maybe they can't move on from the island to the alt (instead of from the island to heaven or wherever? hmmmm....

I tend disagree. MIB thinks that Jack is with him now because he came back. I dont think MIB has the ability to read people as well as some think. I dont think Sayid killed Desmond and apparantly MIB couldnt tell he was lying which would seem odd. Perhaps he can only read peoples thoughts when he is in Smoke form and is in fact human while occupying someone. I keep wondering if we are going to seem him actually transform. What happens to his shell?
