🙂 It’s all good…Theorizing about LOST can get a bit tedious….simply because it was purposely ambiguos and left open to interpretation…I don’t know if I’m right, I just know what I got from it….I’m sure 100 different ppl will have 100 different thoughts….except for ‘haters’ who hated the ending and thought they were all dead the whole time lol (that’s what we call them in my LOST..I GOT IT group 🙂
[adrotate group="5"]Marilou I know 🙂 my comment was trying to figure out hjbau’s assesment that everything happened over and over again….I understand hjbau’s point of view, but, like Stephen King’s The Dark Tower ending… *SPOILER* each time, The Gunslinger did one thing different, which led him to another level of the tower- just after getting his memory back and realizing he’d done this all before – he was sent back to square one and didn’t remember doing it – he started his journey over again as if for the first time…he still had to ‘go back’ because he still had not gotten it quite right. Our beloved LOSTies did something right in order to be able to let go…finally move on…have an ending…….
They had to have done something different at some point or they would not have been able to move on. If what you’re saying is it’s one big continual loop that happens over and over= plane crash -events-detonating jughead in1977- plane crash- events- detonating jughead in 1977- plane crash….what do you think was different in order for them to finally move on in the finale? I mean, they didn’t move on and ‘go into the light’ …..and then board flight 815 again and it all started over again…..
NONNIE- I totally agree about keeping the LOST connections together for those OUAT fans that are also LOSTies. I, on the other hand, am a devoted LOSTie. I was post-op/physical therapy at the time when LOST was originally airing. I literally had nothing better to do but ‘analyze’ LOST. I have like 15 notebooks full of notes that I ‘researched’ lol.
The LOST easter eggs just are a fun part of OUAT that don’t really matter in the scheme of the plot, so, non-LOST fans won’t be, well, Lost 🙂 but true LOST fans can pick out/appreciate the nods 🙂I just can’t get past Damon and Carlton saying, the LOSTies didn’t consider what else their decision to blow up jughead would do…i.e. affecting other ppl…their decision created the fact that certain other ppl’s lives didn’t lead them to be on flight 815 and therefore, were not on the island and not at the ‘church’ in the finale. I know the real reasons certain ppl were not in the finale (but, that wouldn’t explain things on the show :/). Ahh, yes, I like that…Regina seeing the apple disappear into our world…really, I totally get you 🙂
Part of what I love about LOST- theorizing and friendly debates all these years after the finale 🙂
Yeah, KalliopeKisees is right. There are so many really great theories on all the characters! So well thought out. I know TheGoldenKey and I have looked onto the Frankenstein theory from so many aspects, so, if that’s the Frankie theory you’re referring to, imparticular, thanks 🙂 I know a few other ppl have also made some great connections to the Frankie theory as well. I like the Dr Whale/Merlin theory, too. That fits nicely into the storyline. Forgive me for not mentioning names, as there are so many different ppl with so many great ideas, I can’t keep track of them all 🙂
That is a very interesting take. I just think of it differently. Everything that happened up to the crash was just normal time going forward. Then the crash (those flashbacks were just back story/weaving the characters together). Subsequent events leading to the Island ‘skipping’ caused the loop that sent some to 1977- as with some of the flight 316 passengers. Time paradox can be interpreted in so many different ways. I’m not saying I’m right and you’re wrong- I actually like your aspect that they ‘been there, done that’- I just never thought of it that way. I loved the ending, too. I agree, a more ‘scientific’ ending woulda pissed me off lol! Or if they had pulled a ‘Matrix” and over explained. So many ppl hated the ending…it seems to be an on going debate. I have found that mostly everyone that hated the end also thought they were dead the whole time. Common misconception.These same ppl also didn’t get the clues throughout the series…the anagrams, the significance of classic literature, the influence of so many popular genre’s- Stephen King, The Godfather Triliogy, Led Zep…mythology and science….

Ok, I get what you’re saying about the OUAT ‘flashsideways’ as opposed to the LOST ‘falsh’…the events in both OUAT ‘worlds’ were actually happening at the same time, where as LOST was not. I do, however, consider the events happening in 1977 and the events happening in the ‘present’ as flashsideways. Although the year 1977 was obviously the past, the events with jughead, Jack, Sawyer, Kate….ect….were happening at the same time as the events in the ‘present’ with Des, etc…
