[Leaving out Megatron, Underdog, and Iron Man being on the Island], in my dream Jacob offered the Losties a chance to live in World where the Island never touched them. However, it’s a false construct, and overtime they all begin to realize it was a false reality. They came together in the false reality (in my dream this was much like the scene in BSG where four of the final five came together and realized they were Cylons) and saw it for what it was, and rejected it.

At that point in my dream, Jack used Excalibur to cut the Island in half, so the whole dream wasn’t exactly theory worthy, but that center part was.

There was a time when Richard’s future wasn’t certain because the actor had another series on the go, so my bet is that now that he’s fully available for the duration, they’re going with it.

We’ve had the statue a long time, but they didn’t need to decide it was Egyptian until recently (at least we’re all assuming it is), and suddenly out of nowhere we have an ankh and Hurley painting the Pyramids!

So perhaps Richard is one of the island’s ancient people, and was already there when the Black Rock showed up with (I’m assuming) Widmore’s and Shepherd’s ancestors (although it looks like old Ray was Christian’s father, which kinda blows that, but we’ll see).

vv cool, can’t wait to see how this plays out.

On the other hand it does lead to the theories that he’s a pirate.

I’m really curious about the baby born. I think Miles was the baby of the DHARMA doctor in the videos (shown with a baby a few episodes back in the hatch). But I can’t think of which white male character would be born to Horace and Amy — I agree that it could be Ethan. I also agree with whoever mentioned that Faraday could have been stolen, rather than be Eloise’s biological child.

For whatever reason (maybe b/c of Hostiles), I think some of the DHARMA kids get sent to the mainland with or without their parents… Charlotte, Miles… And what about the little girl who was Ben’s only friend as a child? Does anyone remember the little girl’s name who gave Ben a handmade doll for his birthday in a flashback in one of the early seasons? Her parents moved her away as well.

In the preview, Sayid was a captive of Sawyer and the others so he must have made the time leap. It also showed Ben running through the jungle, so he must get better soon.

Another thing I keep thinking is that Rose and Bernard are the two corpses that they find at the caves.

I love this idea. Didn’t someone refer to them as “Adam and Eve” at some point?

This show gives me lots to ponder when I’m up in the middle of the night trying to get the baby to go back to sleep.

My subconscious hates me, and it is not so much creative as bizarre.

Thanks. It’s true that my subconscious is actually much more creative and intelligent than I am. You have no idea how frustrating that is for me.
