It's great because he's totally Walt's body type, all tall and lanky.
I really enjoy Jeff Jensen's Lost posts. Hee:
I prefer the time-travel zaniness of my friend Steve at MagicLamp.org, who writes:
''The Island will move in the present and past, causing 815 to crash into the ocean, since the magnetic pulse never happened. Those versions of the 815ers all die, leaving their counterparts alive on the Island. The Oceanic 6 are told their friends can't return or the paradox will endanger the world. Locke replaces Ben, who ends up in the coffin, and Aaron will be foretold to be Locke's replacement.''
I love the way you think, Steve, because (1) I've been predicting something close to this for most of the season; and (2) it makes no sense.
Also, Steph, someone has a pretty good theory on the Island NOT moving in time:
''Here is what I think the season finale will reveal about the 'On-Islanders.' When Ben moves the Island, it won't be to a different time, as you have speculated, but to a different place, one very far from the South Pacific: the arctic! I am thinking that the Orchid Station controls the location of the Island, that it has moved before, and that it has been in the arctic — hence the Polar Bears. Also, if the current Island moves to the arctic, it would explain why flash-forward Ben was wearing a Dharka, and may be why Penny's people were looking for Desmond in the arctic. Plus, what a season-ender it would be to have Ben push some buttons and suddenly the Island is covered in snow!'' — Rob Nuttall from Halifax, Nova Scotia
There's also the question of whether the Oceanic 6 get off before or after Locke moves the Island.
Holy shit, I am so excited for this finale tonight, moreso than I've been for the other Lost finales, I think. It's totally bizarre what they've done with the fucking storytelling this season: like I said before, it's the fact that we actually KNOW specific things about what's going to happen (rather than the usual vague ALL YOUR QUESTIONS WILL BE ANSWERED) and we're itching to find out how all this shit goes down.
