Man, that was pretty dull (episode 6)

Apart from the big shift at the end, I was barely watching it. Sayid is not an engaging character.

Didja see Jack in the hospital tho?

Yep. It was a blink and you'll miss it moment though.

I was watching for it. The second they walked into the hospital I figured we'd see either Jack or Ethan.

Yeah, ok, granted, the Locke one was good, but only in context. Imagine watching it without having a prior knowledge of Locke's past.

Or can that be explained away by the fact that she would never have met her faceless CEO?

If Rose works for Hurley, how did she not recognise him on the plane or on the island in the initial timeline?

Hurley saying he's "the luckiest guy on Earth" or something like that on the plane? Jack having a son? Locke apparentely having a good relationship with his father (yet still being paralysed)? Desmond being on the plane? So clearly there's more to all that than just 'this is what would've happened if they hadn't crashed'.

I haven't seen the latest episode yet, I have it queued up for a watching this very evening. Sounds like the hive mind wasn't that keen on it though.

There's a theory that the parallel timeline is actually what happens *after* the island events have played out. Perhaps the losties decide to 'reset' and live without any island influence.

I can't remember exactly what was said now, but there was a very specific bit in the week before last's episode where the conversation between Locke and Leela-from-Futurama subtly implied that Locke had a great relationship with his dad.

Jack is going to become Jacob.

So Locke can offer Sayid (and indeed anyone else) the ability to jump between the alternate realities?

What I want to know is, what would they have seen in the lighthouse mirror if they had turned it to 108 degrees, as Jacob had originally requested? Bearing in mind that 4 + 8 + 15 + 16 + 23 + 42 = 108

Lostpedia for the win -- on both the lighthouse dial and the cave wall, number 108 is someone called Wallace.

But I want to form my own conclusions! Not read lots of other peoples.

Good luck with memorising all 4,752 minutes of the show so far then! Not to mention crawling all those freezeframes.

The Wallace thing could be a red herring, is one theory. Jacob did want Jack away from the Temple, which happened. I can't help but think Jack will be the new Jacob, and Sawyer the new Man In Black. Although, FLocke is doing a pretty good job of that already.

And the most boring character in the history of fiction is, actually, Dr Daniel Jackson from Stargate SG-1, fact fans.

Jacob didn't really need Jack away from the temple, more just so that he could see the lighthouse and realise his destiny in his own mind.
