I tell you I have this theory. It goes where, you're the one who's not my sister. Cuz mom adopted you from a shoe box full of baby howler monkeys, and never told you cuz it could hurt your delicate baby feelings.

AARGH. I really don't think I like the idea of the plan actually working, and I want that to just be The Incident. Because otherwise, a bunch of yahoos just CHANGED HISTORY because of THEIR FUCKING LOVE LIVES.

I assume that, given the whole destiny thing, that's what it was. That they caused the incident, that caused the hatch, that caused their plane to crash. It's all very Matrix-y.

I'm very sad that they continue to add more questions and answer very little.

With Lost I guess it's 1 step forward, 2 steps back.

That ate the cat that ate the rat that lived in the house that...JACK! built.

It all adds up!

although they didn't really CAUSE the incident, Jacob's rival along with Jacob himself are the two people who seemed to CAUSE the incident.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Apparently the Latin was "He who will save us all." I was almost close.

I don't see how that's the case. The Incident was the drilling that released all that magnetic energy. That happened before the bomb went off, so Jack et al didn't cause it. My question is what the bomb was supposed to do. The obvious answer is annihilate the island, so that the magnetic energy is destroyed. But another possibility is that the nuclear reaction could act in weird timey-wimey ways with the magnetic field, causing... pretty much whatever the writers want.

I meant the bomb is why the button had to be constructed to keep it from happening again, i.e., it made a permanent hole or something that then had to be regulated by the button.

Really?

Because that is the opposite of what Daniel said.

I'm Homerslapping my forehead. I can't believe I never made the Richard Alpert connection.

I've spent time with Ram Dass and have given away 25 copies of his book, How Can I Help: Stories and Reflections on Service. That book is what led me to be who I am today.

I can say with zero hesitation that Ram Dass is loving the character and the show. Heh.

I know what you meant -- it's what Miles suggested -- but I don't think they're going there.
