LOST.Discuss the current episodes SEASON PREMIERE Wednesday!!!!

[SillyMe]

I don't think that Locke gets paralyzed right after leaving his father's house. He is an avid and experienced hunter. In last night's episode when his father took him hunting, it was the first time he'd ever gone hunting. Sometime between the time with his father and becoming paralyzed, he continued hunting and became experienced at it.

 

[SillyMe]

I wonder if the blood on Boone in the dream means he was responsible for causing someones death (making nanny theresa run up and down the stairs). now I'm trying to think if in some way each of them is responsible for a death in some way or another, intentional or not. Jack with an OR patient, Boone with his nanny, Kate has already said she has killed someone, Sawyer killed the guy he thought was Sawyer. Hurly's bad luck led to the death of his grandfather (or was it uncle? can't remember) among other bad things. I'm wondering if this all ties them to the island? or am I just thinking too much here?

You could be onto something. Jin killed people for Sun's dad, too, remember?

Did anyone else think it was funny that Locke was driving a Volkswagon "bug"? It seemed so out of character.

Wasn't someone supposed to be poisoned in this episode?

Also, the next episode is supposed to have Sayid and Shannon getting romantic. Why would Shannon do this if her brother is dying/dead? Perhaps Boone is not the one to die! Besides, wasn't the big death supposed to happen in the finale?

Finally, I didn't tape the show so I can't go back to check, but I thought that Kate said something interesting in the previews for next week. When Claire goes into labor, she says "I'm scared" and I thought I heard Kate say "I WAS too." Did anyone catch this? Maybe Kate has had a baby before. I could be wrong though. Can anyone check on this?

 

[Hopetobee]

Just ran the tape, Claire says I'm so scared, Kate says I'm scared,too.

 

[ladyjayhawk]

Just ran the tape, Claire says I'm so scared, Kate says I'm scared,too.

Thanks! My kids were talking then too, so I probably didn't hear it right.

I thought in the last Jin/Sun flashback they showed that Jin did work for Sun's dad but he didn't kill anyone. Jin and another guy were sent to kill one guy at his home, but before the other hitmen entered the house, Jin just beat him up and told him to do what he was told by Sun's dad. Jin didn't kill him. That's when he went home covered in blood, after beating the guy up. So Sun thinks that he might have killed someone.

Did you all notice the religious symbolism in the show last night? How about when, in Locke's dream, Boone was standing on the hatch in the classic crucifiction pose? Can you say sacracficial lamb? I am trying to find out what those symbols on Boone's shirt meant, they only appeared in the dream sequence so they must mean something.

I was so sad for Locke, talk about betrayal....all that was missing was the kiss on the cheek.

Has anyone got a theory as to why Locke's MOTHER was in his dream? (I asked a few pages ago...just re-asking)

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Anyone else catch that Locke's mother had been in an institution? Wonder if she was in the same hospital as Hurley?

I think the paralysis has to do with the operation - he immediately took himself off the IV and left the hospital. He was limping when he got out of the car at the gate to his dad's house and I might be wrong, but didn't it look like he had a stain on the back of his shirt where his kidney would be? Like it was infected and seeping?

I also noticed the connection between Locke's mom saying he was immaculately conceived and that the drugs were hidden in statues of the Virgin Mary.

Plus, I noticed that Locke's father seemed amazed at how Locke was able to just pick up a gun and shot that dove with one shot with no experience. Either Locke has a gift or Locke has a past involving shooting that he didn't tell his dad and we don't know about.

The hair issue and the time frame.. I actually think he may already be bald/balding and that was a toupee he was wearing at that point in his life.

Other things I wondered about -

How is it that the radio in that plane worked after so long? The crash wasn't recent. The bodies were badly decomposed.

Did anyone else think that the voice that answered Boone on the radio sounded very much like his own voice?

Did anyone else think that the plane they found resembled the little plane that Kate took from the lock box at the bank? Especially the odd color

 

[Obi-Wan Pinobi]

Also.. what kind of surgeon was Jack's father? Could he have done the transplant between Locke and his father?

 

[bigmerle1966]

Waaaahhhhhh! I missed most of the show last night!!!! I had a bad headache and layed down on the couch and only saw little bits. Luckily my sister recorded it but she lives in Northern VA and I won't see her for a couple weeks.

 

[ByTheSea]

Also.. what kind of surgeon was Jack's father? Could he have done the transplant between Locke and his father?

Oooh, could be... hmmmmm

never thought of that

 

[BWVDenise]

Oh, wow! I forgot all about that little plane Kate has!!!!! Does anyone know for sure if there is a resemblance??
What was Locke's mother's name?

That's when he went home covered in blood, after beating the guy up. So Sun thinks that he might have killed someone.

Jin beat the guy up to save his life. He knew the other man was sent to kill this guy.

Oh no, I can't believe Locke is evil. In the dream Boone is covered in blood and staring off and saying "Teresa falls up the stairs, Teresa falls down the stairs" ( It was Teresa wasn't it) I would have assumed the blood on Boone to have something to do with the Teresa he was talking about, not a premonition, I mean, the plane in the dream wasn't a premonition of things to come, it was of the past, so maybe Locke interpreted a Bloody Boone to be of the past also.

I also wondered if Locke became paralysed right after leaving his fathers house, but he looks too old now to have been in the wheelchair for 4 years.

I wonder if future episodes will show Sawyer in his new specs alot or if he hides when he reads! Very friendly of Sayid to make those glasses for him, wasn't it? And didn't they have a big pile of glasses to choose from? that would not be possible, I wear glasses and I would not put them in my luggage, they would be on me.

I wonder if the blood on Boone in the dream means he was responsible for causing someones death (making nanny theresa run up and down the stairs). now I'm trying to think if in some way each of them is responsible for a death in some way or another, intentional or not. Jack with an OR patient, Boone with his nanny, Kate has already said she has killed someone, Sawyer killed the guy he thought was Sawyer. Hurly's bad luck led to the death of his grandfather (or was it uncle? can't remember) among other bad things. I'm wondering if this all ties them to the island? or am I just thinking too much here?

Actually, I'm pretty sure that it WAS a premonition of things to come. Like I said before, in his dream he was standing between his mom & wheelchair and bloody Boone. These were his choices. But I don't think he realized what it meant until the plane started to move when Boone was in it. Bloody Boone was definitely a reference to what was about to happen to him, and not related to if he killed someone in the past. The "Theresa falls up the stairs, Theresa falls down the stairs" (so creepy when he said that by the way) was just to get him to trust Locke and therefore go looking for the plane. The plane crash was in the dream to show Locke the general direction where his key to opening the hatch could be found.

For Stinkerbelle, and this is just a guess, but maybe his mom standing by the wheelchair meant that she was the cause of him being in it; but whether it was caused by the surgery or not, I don't know.

 

[GoodFairies]

What was Locke's mother's name?

I am not 100% sure, but it was something like Elizabeth Annabelle Locke. I definitely know the Annabelle Locke part is right. I just can't remember if it was definitely Elizabeth. I think it started with an "E" though.

 

[stinkerbelle]

Thanks Goodfaries!

omg..my head is just reeling with all this ideas and connections....
jacks father maybe the surgeon? wowza

 

[TiggerPiglet]

As usual, after every show I have more questions

Anyway, I'm thinking the time period where Locke gave his kidney to his father, may have been in the '70's since he was driving a Beetle. Obviously, that doesn't mean anything, but Beetles were popular in the '70's. So, that would make that 30 years ago. So, I wouldn't think his kidney transplant had anything to do with his paralysis, but who knows.
I too want to believe Locke is not evil, but I have to wonder, especially since he lied to Jack. What would have been the big deal to have said something like "we were hiking and we stumbled onto this crashed plane and Boone climbed up into it and it fell." The fact he lied, doesn't sit well with me. Also, wouldn't Locke be afraid Boone will tell Jack exactly what happened?Which makes me think, Locke knows Boone will die and will never get to tell.
I was really disappointed that we didn't find out why Locke was paralysed. I thought when he got hit by the car that was it. Then I thought it was from the surgery. The show was driving me crazy.
I read in next week's TV Guide that we will not find out why the plane crashed as many people have speculated, but they assure us that with the cliffhanger they have planned, we won't care about the crash. I hope that's true

***edited to add** I believe Jack's dad was a cardiologist. So, he wouldn't have done the transplant

 

[BWVDenise]

I'm pretty sure Locke lied to protect the hatch. He doesn't want anyone else to know about it (but why not?). So that really isn't his first deception.

Am I the only one who is extremely curious how someone who worked in a departement store and later for a box company has so much knowledge about so many things? Locke knew what kind of money the "priest" was carrying, he knows all about plants, hunting, direction, building cradles to large contraptions, you name it, Locke knows about it.

 

[Barb]

OMG! All this speculation is giving me such a headache. I love some of these thoughts and ideas. I think the fact that most of them are responsible for a death is a very interesing theory. So do we get answers when the hatch opens or will this only make more questions? All I can say is that I do hope at some point everything falls into place and we do get answers.
Was Locke's mother's name Emily? Does that sound right?
