Questions answered...Jacob, Time, The crash, and the future...

[Lost Lenny]

Here is what I took from the episode...

• Jacob is for real...Ben was mad because Locke did hear him. (let's end the "Ben caused this" talk!)
• I think that we were told that the Losties are ALIVE "within the time/space continuum" if this doesn't put to rest the "there is no time travel/time shift" arguements, nothing will. Mittelos=Lost Time, Only fools are enslaved by time and space", and now this. For those that don't believe that there is a time discep...do you need more proof?
• Des crashed the plane...end of this story.
• It appears that we will see the Losties future's before the end of the series. (based on TPTB statements) That's good...

Here are the others mentioned in this thread. I'll keep adding to the list as you guys mention more...

• Locke is trying to keep everyone from leaving...It was confirmed that he's blowing up everything that can get them off of the island
• Smokey does do some type of brain read or "picture" to read your past memory.
• "The swan is the MOST IMPORTANT of all the dharma stations."
• We know Sun really did get pregnant on the island, Juliette did not lie about that.
• They also restated that Kate did not make a definitive choice; it was who was she going to sleep with first. And no, Jack hasn't given up on Kate.
• They also mentioned that the reason Jack and Juliet were gone was to indeed go find Rousseau to seek her assistance.

Here are some new quotes that I picked up after watching again...

• Carlton mentions that the show will also answer (along w/our Losties past and present) "...but more importantly, what they will become" he also says that "the changes for these characters is really what the end game is all about" Begs the question...who will they become? Adam and Eve...Jacob...??????
• Carlton- The "crash was the greatest thing that ever happened to Locke...the LAST thing he wants is to leave"
• The crash was not welcome news to the others
• "Juliet decides to throw her lot in with Jack and get off of the island" looks like Juliet IS a good guy now.
• Damon-"magic box was a metaphor...the whole island is a magic box"
• "Neither Locke or Sawyer would be on the island if not for Cooper"

Any other statements that put rumors to rest? Feel free to place them here.

Maybe instead of flashbacks, flash forwards. Probably not, but maybe.

I got from it that Smokey takes a "flash" of a person (I hadn't noticed the flash thing before), seeing into them and then manifests things from their pasts. To what purpose, who knows. I got that Ben, et. al. didn't know who was on board until after the plane crashed. (Still don't know where he got such detailed reports about them though.) Both these things tell me that neither of them (Ben or Smokey) knew of the Losties until the crash.

Did they go so far as to say the plane wouldn't even have been around to crash were it not for Desmond?

No, they didn't. And actually I think the plane was meant to crash because I believe what Locke said, that this is all happening for a purpose. Like with Desmond and Charlie.. Charlie is going to die, the only question is how it happens.

I think it's entirely possible that the losties were meant to be on the island regardless of how they got there. Remember what Ben said too, "I wished for a doctor and one fell out of the sky".

Nope, The producers said that we know the definitive answer for why the plane crashed. It was because of Desmond not pushing the button. They even talked about how the magnetic anomoly could cause other things to crash but they said it had to be something extra to bring down a jumbojet. The something extra was desmond not pushing the button.

I also noticed that they said "The swan is the MOST IMPORTANT of all the dharma stations." I don't think we knew that it was definitively the most important.

In the pilot episode, on the DVD there is a scene where Walt walks past the crashed fuselage and there in plain sight is a large Dharma logo on the plane. Did anyone else see that?

That's cool to know. My new pet theory about what's happening on the Island hinges almost entirely on the first Swan Incidient.

Sounds like it was a great program. Too bad I missed it.

It could be that Locke was right and fate caused Desmond to cause the plane to crash
