uhm, two quick things...

Okay, so I was re-watching Deus Ex Machina and I'm about to re-watch Do No Harm (if you hear cries from wherever you are, that's me by the way), but since I need to meta about them and not speculate, just a couple of things I noticed, one being for the lulz and one being actually half serious. Probably I'm completely wrong here and it's just

Hmm, VERY interesting! I don't buy into the Locke-IS-Jesus theory for one second either. But this does lend more credence to him as a Jesus figure.

Nice catch!

[janie_tangerine]

Isn't it? I don't think they were doing it with a purpose back then and I don't buy that Locke is Jesus either, but after the whole deal I was just like 'ONE MOMENT' there. ;)

Ha, I'm surprised you hadn't noticed. When I first saw PD I went, "hey, Locke's mom". Then again, I have a really good memory for guest stars for some reason.

Yeah, it sounds like coincedence. We all know these writers didn't have a freaking clue what they were doing back then -- why do you think we have so many continuity issues/loose ends.

S1 is the most awesome season probably of tv ever. IMO.

[janie_tangerine]

LOL, when I saw PD I just didn't think about it. Well, not like I was caring a lot about Locke's mom at all in those circumstances. ;) ;)

I don't think they had a freaking clue either but it sounded quite interesting that after last episode I'd put that one in and oops, Jesus reference. I had completely forgotten it but hey, after all I was thinking about the whole Theresa deal rather than Locke being Jesus. ;)

So does this mean Chuck and Locke are siblings? She came back from the dead too

[falafel_musings]

I think the whole coming back from dead needs to be seriously addressed.

I totally agree on the lack of consistancy in the "dead but here" appearences. I wasted my time trying to figure out how Charlie could be visible not only to Hurley but another mental patient, how he could slap Hurley, how he can have new clothes and hair. Then all your theories go down the toilet because they'll be another ep where Hurley is talking to an invisible Mr Eko who Sayid can't see or hear.

Darlton still go around saying "On Lost, dead means dead" and "The island isn't purgatory either". Either they are lying for some inane reason or (most likely) Darlton have their own all-new definition of "dead" on Lost that they don't care to share with the viewers.

[janie_tangerine]

Well, Sayid isn't mental. ;) ;)

Seriously, I don't give a damn about the mechanics of being dead but here but for me it's absolutely fine since it's fic fodder. I mean, I'd do it even if it wasn't canon but if it is then even better because there's so much S1 Boone I can write. Well, there's also so much dead!Boone I can write but having the option always works.

To me, I still think they don't have an idea of what they're doing. ;)

[elliotsmelliot]

Yes, the ghost appearances are equally problematic in terms of consistency. We've got Boone, Ana, Charlie, Yemi, Christian (maybe), Claire(?) and Eko popping up in a number of guises. Then again consistency has never been the show's strong point.

I still believe the island was supposed to represent purgatory but viewers guessed that too early on and they decided to change gears because SHOCKING is more important than logical.
