Lost Season 3

[Monrozombi]

I got to thinking about another possible theory.

During the special "Lost: The Answers" that was on tv before finale the producer/writer said that they are alive but somewhere in the time/space continium.

When Naomi tells Hurley that they found the wreckage and everyone was dead that got me thinking. What if they found the camp of the survivors after they got off and the survivors are living in their own little pocket of time. By that I mean, time on the island moves slower then the rest of the world. This could account for Richard's non-aging. The survivors have been on the island around 90 days, or so they believe. What if they're caught in their own "past" and haven't caught up to the rest of the world. They believe its 12/22/04 when in actuality it could be 5/28/2007 and they never got off the island perished somehow. How? well the Others could have killed them or were wiped out by the monster one by one.

I know its far fetched but I think they're going to get off the island and find out that more then 90 days has passed and the real date is what we are living in in the real world

If the series went in that direction I would be very disappointed. So far the supernatural aspects are what bothers me most about the series. It just doesn't seem to be that kind of show. Cooincidence and supernatural due to science seem to be more its thing, but if we get into space/time continuums/dreams/etc they better save that as a big disappointing reveal for the last episode. If it is that I am done with the show.

The monster, the 4 toed statue, the electromagnetism are parts of the show that I really enjoy. It's all going to add up to something big. If the monster flashes parts of your past and is a free thinking entity I wouldn't put it past the producers to provide us with an explanation of the island having its own properties in terms of time/space.

If that theory were to be true, I would hope that they provide a thorough explanation and not use that theory for a cop out if they couldn't be more creative

[limacharliewhiskey]

I hope it's not a space/time continuum explanation of some sort. That would be about the worst type of explanation and answer that the writers could come up with. It reminds me too much of the Stargate SG-1 black hole episode.

Richard's non-aging characteristic seems to be tied to him only, the same way Locke keeps getting healed. Ben aged normally during that time.

What? Ben killed his father in, like, the early 80's, and still looks exactly the same in 2004.

I couldn't decide definitively on that. Obviously, he aged from when he originally arrived at the island. To me, he appeared to be younger during the purge, but not not obviously so. I couldn't tell how old he was, or how old he was supposed to look like. Present time, he certainly doesn't look as young as Richard.

Ben grew up from a little boy to a man. Ben was a kid when he first saw Richard.

Yeah, but as a man, he still looked exactly the same in 2004 as he did in 1982 or whatever. No one looks exactly the same after 20+ years.

I guess I didn't see it that way. I thought younger Ben had more hair on his head in the scene where he killed his father. At no time have I thought that Ben has the same anti-aging secret that Richard does.

What is the reasoning behind a 16 episdoe season 4?

[Fluxus]

The producers said they only need 48 episodes to wrap up the series. ABC want to milk things as long as they can. Instead of two season of 24 episodes they will do three with 16.

I think it's mostly due to TV scheduling to cover the February and May sweeps periods that broadcasters use to set their advertising rates. That's about 16 weeks from the beginning of February to the end of May.

[MrMike]

Gotcha! I will hate to see it come to end but at least they are not milking it for 6 more seasons. The shorten seasons are not ideal but its business and ABC is right to spread the remaining episodes over 3 seasons.

I personally think its odd but then again, they have the last 48 episodes more or less finalized in what they are going to show. I think if more tv shows decided to tells that they're going to wrap up a show 2-3 years in advance viewership might go up and they'd be forced to put out a higher quality product.

is it February yet?

[Mikado]

On the whole aging thing. I noticed right away that Richard doesn't look like he's aged. And I'm guessing that they at least tried with Ben. But I'm wondering if they intended for Richard to look younger in the flashback or if they want to show him as not aging. Maybe they tried to show him younger in the flashback. ie...Richard with long hair and mascara, but it just didn't work. There's only so much you can do.

Okay... so I just finished the third season on DVD...

A couple of questions/comments:

Since the Jack flashbacks in the last episode were actually taking place after they were rescued, I guess Jack's dad is alive? He referred to him being drunker than Jack was when confronted in the hospital.

Did the episode where Ben killed his dad specify that it took place in the 80's? Because in the last episode of the season he mentions being responsible for the deaths of more than 40 people "not long ago" -- and I assumed he was referring to the deaths of he original Dharma people.

In the episode where Jack was living with the Others and Kate and some other folks went to rescue him, Tom shows Jack into the room where Kate is being kept and tells him to be careful what he says and points at the ceiling. I took this to mean that maybe he's somewhat of an ally, but the events in the last episode would suggest that that wasn't the case. Thoughts?

Christian Shepard is dead, I'm sure Jack was so high on Oxycotin he didn't know what he was saying.

I would say Ben killed the Dharma people during the "Purge" in the early 90s.

Tom aka Mr. Nice did what he was told but was somewhat of a real nice guy. He believed in what the "Others" were doing but was just an order taker so I'm not sure if he really wanted to do a lot of the stuff Ben ordered him to. I've always liked the character of Tom, he never made me think of him as an Other except for a few different times.

.

Yeah, you can tell by the look on the other doctor's face when he says that.

I think the father reference was used to be a red herring for people to think that it was a flashback instead of the more shocking future flash forward.

Not sure when the Purge happened, but Monro, you could be right on the timing of it, based on Ben's appearance.

I always thought Mr. Friendly was creepy. I mean, after all, he was the one that was pushing for Jin, Sawyer, and the other guy to be killed, when Ben had obviously ordered them to not be killed. Tom was nice in some instances, but I agreed with Sawyer in that he needed to be shot down. The way Ben keeps managing to not share that same fate is impressive to say the least.
