Lost thoughts.

[brinshannara]

Unfortunately, every Thursday night, my World of WarCraft guild has a raid, and I usually have to attend, so I rarely get to see Lost live.

But I was going back through some of my old JJ Night posts (prompted by Alias being on at 2am on Space every weeknight!) and thought I'd try it out with this episode of Lost.

Ben wasn't on Oceanic 815, so it can't be him. IMHO. :) As I said to shiningmoon, Michael, maybe? Speaking of, where the hell is Walt and why the hell is Michael going as "Kevin Johnson"?

The year of the Dragon threw me for a loop. I knew we'd had one not terribly long ago (as in, it wasn't due anytime soon, particularly not in Lost-time) because I'm nowhere NEAR 35 yet, which is when the next Dragon year is. He didn't actually SAY it WAS the year of the dragon. He said "In the year of the dragon, it brings good luck". Since I'd already decided it was a flash-forward, I thought it a weak sales pitch for the toy dragon to be lucky the NEXT year of the dragon.

As to the crash date, yeah, I've seen the whole season thus far, and I guess it makes sense to make that his apparent date of death, but that's awful. Here's a tombstone to honour Jin's life and the date is just WRONG. Also, if you do the math, if Sun was 8 weeks pregnant around Christmas, that means conception was just before Halloween. How do you explain Jin being the father if he apparently died a month before that? I really doubt she would claim anyone else as the father. The baby was in distress, yes, but there was nothing about it being late (the world would think she was overdue by ~6 weeks) or, if she'd given birth prematurely, matching up the ~6 week difference, there was still no mention of that.

It's like, so many pieces ALMOST fit together. But they don't!

the theories about ben is that he wouldn't be "ben linus" but since he has forged passports and profiles on the passengers, he could pose as one without a family or something.

michael makes the most sense tho. i didn't even think of it. he was on the plane. and the little preview of next week's ep kinda had him in a scene where it looked like paparazzi or something.

regarding the d.o.c. and the baby, island-time seems different than off-island-time, and then moving off the island also can cause time strangeness. i'm sure that's partially how they're going to explain walt being 4 years older when he should only be a few months older.
