walt, the universe, and everything...
in the water:
Jin is yelling from the exploded part of the raft, saywer goes to save Michael
michaels flashback in new york:
Nice shot of the twin towers outside of the lawyers office.
Susan and Brian moved from Amsterdam to rome to Australia… sounds like a race around the world? Is walt a miracle? Did his mom know?
down in the hole:
Okay, okay, they were lockes boots.
Its definitely dharma with a swan (or a sea monster) there's no backwards R
the metal box to the left of the dharma box locke is looking at has [something]CHWP-2 written on it.
the thing on the mural I thought was a glass wall is actually a blue arrow pointing up. Two arrows in the mural, one blue, one red, some different colored fish… what does it mean?
I think my map was fairly accurate, except for the overall shape of the room and the medicine cabinet, which is against the wall next to the dining nook
desmond has kate laid out like bait
back in the water:
Was it a shark? The splash looks like a whales tail…
in new york:
The white laywer at the far end of the table looks familiar… was he a survivor on the beach in the pilot? or am i just recognizing him from a burger king commercial or something?
***
also, the conference room is the same room where claire was 'trying' to sign her kid away.
i'm 75% sure its just them reusing a set, its a little redecorated (the black rock model and a hanging on the wall next to the window), but the fact that they use the same room for:
1. when claire is going to sign away her kid and is unable to (the pen doesn't work)
and
2. where michael DOES sign away his kid.
has 25% of me thinking its going to mean something...
down in the hole:
love this dialog
“you’re finally here”
“well, here I am”
it's almost seussian...
desmond asks locke for the codewords-shades of alias
"what did one snowman say to the other snowman"
(falcon and the snowman reference? is he a soviet spy?)
locke says they've been there for 44 days and it registers with desmond, something clicks, like he knows of something that happened 44 days ago.
it looks like there are thousands of hash marks marking time on the wall.
Locke slips kate the knife when he's tying her up
the caves:
Charlie and his H
“…be a nice thing to have around”
here comes the water:
sawyer comes to the conclusion we all did at the end of last season, walt was the boy they wanted all along and they, the others, came and got him, that boat wasn’t big enough to be from anywhere but the island
“bluebeard” ha ha ha
new york:
susan and mike in the lawyers office- is that a model of the black rock behind them?
Shes playing Michael here, I don’t think shes sincere at all. shes up to something. is walt being experimented on or something?
kate in the pantry:
she turns on the light, and the dharma logo is everywhere! After a week of dissecting shadowy screenshots!! The writers must have known that would happen, and this was all a big nelson "HA HA" at the fans.
touche.
Kate eats an Apollo bar and has an orgasm. Women and chocolate…
back out in the hole:
Locke is just a plain old guy now, telling the story… just sit right back and you'll hear a tale.
desmond-“so the world is still out there?”
“as far as I know”
the timer starts ticking- des forces locke to the computer and asks if he knows how to use it. locke mentions he hasn’t seen a computer like that in 20 years.
The timer is counting down from 2:37-2:36
someone has to type the numbers in before the clock hits zero every 108 minutes or what happens??!?
you couldn't exactly get a good nights sleep if that’s the case, and it would explain why two people “should” be down there, like a missile silo, two to turn the keys and all that.
The clock resetting was the flippy noise we heard last week...
I thought kates screams were maybe part of a elaborate whispers prank desmond was pulling on the survivors. guess not.
nice that his warning shot almost takes kate out...
i have a new theory (which, if nothing else, explains the title of this post)
Is the island powered by the infinite improbability drive, and the numbers control it somehow? That’s why the last one is 42?
sort of like the philadelphia experiment, the island has just been warped to somewhere/somewhen?
maybe thats the only chance to get back to where/when desmond came from. it takes 108 minutes for the magnet to charge up again and you have to release the charge everytime? maybe 44 days ago desmond didnt hit execute in time, and thats what brought the plane down? the magnet got supercharged and went out of control?
so maybe every 108 minutes something unexplainable (improbable)happens on the island? (when he has to type in the numbers and hit execute)
when he typed them in before (first scene last episode)I think is when walt appeared to shannon. So what happened up top when locke just punched them in? will we find out next week?
it also shows us that its only been 108 minutes since he got up in the first scene last episode, right?
we still don't know if desmond knows (or remembers) jack. he calls everyone brother...
back in the water:
Okay, it was definitely a dorsal fin that michael blew away, a shark after all… probably, but maybe it had frickin laser beams attached to its head? cause it had the dharma logo on it.
("mama cass deceased, ham sandwich")
back in new york:
mike gives toddler walt a stuffed polar bear and an emotional little speech about being his daddy… maybe walt subconsciously remembers the daddy speech and the polar bear, explains the polar bears on the island while he's reunited with his daddy... maybe walt is the only thing that has the power to control the improbability drive and get them out of the wrinkle in time everyone on the island is trapped in?
in the water/on the island:
The current brings them back, but maybe there is just nowhere to get to.
The island at the end of the universe.
”we’re home” - great line
Jin speaks a little English… "michael! Others!"
they don’t look like the boat people, most likely it’s the tail survivors, and they’re already sick. this is the bad side of the island...
Is that ana lucia with her hands on her hips standing on the right in the back?
looks like the hills on the island have eyes. creepy creepy creepy ending shot.
it just gets better and better...
****
a quick update/theory
okay, during WWII the US military tried the philadelphia experiment. which was really to try and make the ship invisible. let's say they also tried it on an island in the south pacific. it would make good military sense to have an invisible island there...
and it worked.
the only problem is the sequence needs to be run every 108 minutes or the magnet charges up too much energy, and when that happens, bad things happen. like ships from the 1600's are sucked onto the island, along with some planes every once in a while.
but even running it every 108 minutes makes strange things happen, jacks dead dad, reverse walt, whispers in the jungle, etc.
also, the residual effect of the invisibility (or whatever) makes people sick, hence the CR 4-8151623 42 vial.
so anyway, at some point about 16 years ago, desmond messes up and lets the magnet charge up too much, and the island and anything within a certain radius is sucked into an alternate universe, the fourth dimension, etc... either way, another time, another place.
i know this is full of holes, which i'll try to plug and flesh out when i'm not at work, but i just wanted to get this down before i started to think it was something else.
