Allen Weighs In On Lost Part 2

........

(If you haven't caught up with the latest episode of Lost Across The Sea then don't read this.)

I didn't expect to be doing another blog in regards to Lost before the Finale...but I think I've finally pieced some of it together.


So I really haven't figured out what happened to him in the last episode, whether he's the smoke monster or whether he was just another victim of the smoke monster, anyways I'm going to give an overall theory on a few things and why I think he has something to do with them.

Now we all know that pregnant women who concieve on the island have little to no chance of carrying the child full term, resulting in death of baby and mother, however that only started some point after "The Incident". Now we assume that the smoke monster has been trying to kill some of the potential candidates since it manifested itself as John Locke, I mean that's all we've been shown right? Wrong. I believe he's been trying to kill off the candidates since Day 1 and he is what caused the pregnancy issues somehow. He didn't want anymore possible candidates to replace Jacob's job, he wants a way off of the island by any means necessary so he'll kill whoever he has to to make that happen.

That's not all, notice how alot of deaths on the show have been somehow influenced by certain unexplainable events? Boone died because John Locke had a vision...could it be that this was the smoke monster playing with his mind? Boone's sister Shannon saw what we think was Walt, which led her to her death by Ana Lucia. Nikki and Paulo were paralysed by the Madusa Spiders (which were actually a manefestation of the monster) and this certainly led to their death. John Locke was manipulated to die by Christian Shephard (who the smoke monster admitted was him all along). Of course the monster has directly killed alot of people, could this be because they themselves broke whatever rules that were set by MIB and Jacob?


After his first encounter with the Monster in Season One, Locke stated,

"I looked into the eye of this Island, and what I saw was beautiful".

For me, this sums up that they have had "The Source" in mind for a while. I have no idea how Locke saw it from his experience with the monster; perhaps the monster manifested itself into an image of it, or even dragged him towards it...who knows if we'll ever find out. More proof that he possibly knew about the source is when he spoke to Eko and described his encounter with the monster as seeing a "bright light" and in the Season One finale, Locke wanted to be dragged by the monster into one of those vent things, remember? (Side Note: I really think it's a shame what they did with the Locke character, he had so much potential...no matter what he does in these sideways flashes, I don't think there is going to be redemption for the man we all knew and loved)

Which brings me to...


What more is there to learn about him? Well, I think we have seen all we need to...some of us may not have known it though. In the last episode "Across The Sea", it is quite clear that "Mother" intended MIB to take over her job, this is why he recieved the special treatment...however not all things go to plan as Jacob is the one who takes over eventually, after MIB shuns them both for life with another group of people and refuses to allow "Mother" to tell him what to do (in a nutshell).
What does any of this have to do with John Locke? Look at the parallels! I believe that he was "The Chosen One" by Jacob, he had the will and desire to protect and serve the island, even in death (which is exactly what he did)...however he was never meant to die, MIB used all of his energy and resources to get Ben to kill him (MIB couldn't do it directly because this would have been a major rule break). Jacob picked Locke as his main candidate, the others were just backups incase anything happened (which it did). Locke is MIB and Jack is Jacob. Jack is Jacob's replacement now, not exactly his first choice but he'll do. Which is exactly what happened with Jacob, MIB and "Mother". I hope I'm making SOME sense.


This is one of the things about the sideways flashes that I'm actually interested in! Wahay! LOL. I'm not sure what kind of impact this would have on Lost as a whole, or the current storyline even, but this is something that I hope gets cleared up before Lost is gone forever. David is Jack's son who's mother is still to be identified. I've narrowed it down to 3 choices...

1. Juliet
2. Kate
3. Sarah

Juliet because I don't think her time on Lost has come to a complete close, we have yet to see her in the sideways flashes and I think maybe we're going to find out what the whole "we should go Dutch!" thing was right after the Nuke...exploded(?).

Kate...well, I don't honestly think it's her as she has already met Jack in the sideways and they were strangers to eachother. However I thought I'd say her just in case, worse things have happened on Lost (Do I have to remind you of the whole temple shit that we had to endure for 5+ eps?).

Sarah is the one I'm really rooting for. She isn't the most popular character (by far) but she is DAMN hot...can't we get her back on Lost for just a few minutes? All jokes aside, I think it would be a great reveal if she was, I have no other reason to think she is though.

The other thing that I'm quite interested in is where the Hell Jack got that cut on his neck in the Season 6 premiere? What kind of significance does that have on the rest of the season? My thoughts? Knowing Jack, he probably cut himself shaving. Doughnut. Unless it's some kind of epic battle that he has with MIB then I have no idea.


The Island sinking is the end. It is the end of all the troubles that the damned thing has caused, I can't imagine the amount of people that have died for it. The end can't be Jack taking Jacob's place, that is not finite, that is a loop. There is a reason the show has been focused on the passengers of Flight 815, it's because they are the end of a game that has lasted since time began - Across The Sea proved that. We will never know how it all started, who became the first "Jacob", because before him there was "Mother" and it goes on and on... It's neverending...until now. I want resolution for my favourite characters, I want them to get away from that rock...what good is Jack as the new "leader"? What does it accomplish? We've seen it happen before! That isn't resolution. So here's hoping that the Island doesn't destroy anyone else's life... unless it's Kate's.

That's all I want to say about Lost right now, apologies for my lack of writing skill in this one, it's almost 1am, I'm boiling hot in this apartment thanks to the hot weather and today has been testing to say the least (if my Autism was The Source, then I went head-first in it this morning).

Who knows what I'll talk about in my next Lost blog. This might even be the last one before it ends. Scary. I'll try and do one before the Finale...yes infact I will!

(Another Side Note: You know, if I am right about my main theories, then that could mean that it's took me 5 years to figure out what Lost is all about..only a couple of episodes before the finale! Not exactly amazing stuff, but I would be satisfied)

'Till next time....
