With all the deception that has occurred on Lost, and with the assumption that "dead is dead" (even though it's not), fans rarely seem to ask what could end up being the most obvious question of all: what if the reason Christian isn't in the coffin is because he was never there in the first place? What if he is, in fact, alive?
It's true that Jack saw the dead body of a man that closely resembled his father, and that law officials in Sydney had that body in their possession. But if you consider the inconsistency of time on the island compared to the rest of the world, Christian could theoretically be alive on the island and dead in Sydney. That, however, isn't a very likely outcome. A more plausible explanation would be the one thing fans always overlook: that the body in the coffin was the illusion.
...When Jack went to Sydney to track down his dad, Jacob had to play a trick on him in order to get him to leave the city quickly so he would be on Oceanic 815...

This is pretty heavy stuff, don't you think? Could this be the twist we're headed for? Could Christian really be alive!?!?!?!?!?!?
=========================================
If the quote is correct – if Ben knows something we don’t – there are two logical ways to explain it. One is that Jacob did something to disappoint God, such as allowing good people to die while facilitating the death of others. Thus, God once loved Jacob but no longer does, as if he were a fallen angel.
The second explanation for the quote is that Jacob has always been past tense. All these years, we’ve been under the impression that whoever he was, he was alive until Ben killed him. Even the smoke monster thought so. But maybe he’s been a ghost since before the show even began, and in gathering all of these people, he wasn’t merely trying to prove that people were good (as he claimed) – he was also trying to save himself. That would certainly fit with the show’s recurring theme of redemption.
That, however, brings us to the third possibility, which will only be logical to those who still don’t trust Ben Linus.

Hmmm, so what do you all think? Does that quote hold great significance and revealing info to the show? Or was it merely something Ben -- heck, the writers -- thought up three years ago and haven't thought of since?
And what about Richard -- will he find peace in the end? Will he be able to die and be with his wife again when the series concludes?
====================================
With no hint of Juliet in this week's episode, "Recon," how will Sawyer and Juliet meet up, if at all? Let’s think back again to Season Three: before blacking out and waking up on the island, Cooper remembers only one thing – a car accident. In the sideways world, I’m betting that Cooper will be involved in yet another car accident, this time during a heated chase with Sawyer, who has finally discovered where Locke’s dad has been hiding. With no island to be transported to, Cooper will be taken to the hospital. Sawyer, the arresting officer, follows him under the guise of police procedure. Deep down, however, he’s hoping for an opportunity to take him out.
Just before Sawyer gets that opportunity, just before he is about to become the man we met on the island, he bumps into a beautiful fertility doctor named Juliet.

Could this be the case? Will Sawyer and Juliet's paths cross in the sideways world?
What about Crazy Claire...was her attack on Kate of her own free will, or was Fake Locke controlling her in that moment?
And what's to come of the island... is Richard really going to reveal what the island actually is?
=================
After reexamining "Maternity Leave" (S2) and "Cabin Fever" (S4), I think I have the answer. The truth is indeed right in front of us and that she has been sick (“infected”) from the beginning. When the Others took her and injected her belly with the vaccine (which was for Aaron, but trace amounts would inevitably reach Claire), her dazed-out reaction was a side effect because she was already ill. But since she was not yet under Fake Locke’s control, her reaction was silly and serene.
When we see her in “Cabin Fever” with her father – who I believe was actually the ghost of Christian and not Jacob or the smoke monster as many fans predict – she is just beginning to become symptomatic. With the smoke monster nowhere in sight, her evil side had not yet kicked in. Thus, she appeared to be very calm but also a bit strange (just as she reacted to the shot), as if her mind wasn’t entirely her own.
Now that Fake Locke has her in his clutches, her serenity has been replaced by insanity.

So what do you think? Has Claire been sick all along? Is that why Ethan feverishly fought to give her baby the vaccine, so that Aaron would be protected?
And what's up with the Hydra Station (also mentioned in the article) -- is Fake Locke going there for something magical or something mechanical?
Widmore is coming back to the island...some think he's good, some think he's evil. Some think he's working for Fake Locke, some think he's working for Jacob. What do you think?

By now everyone has noticed how this week's Lost resembles Star Wars, right?
If not, then you might want to check out this week's installment of LostZone:

We've always known the showrunners were big Star Wars fans, but "Sundown" really drove this point home! |
