You are right Tori, not only does Christian say "some died long after you" but Kate said "it's been so long" (when she touched his face after the concert before he remembered) refering to the fact she leaves the island on the plane while Jack dies - and Hurley says to Ben "you were a great number 2" which refers to their time together after Jack dies when Hurley is the new protector and Ben his number 2. It's not that they were dead the whole time, but that when they die they all "get there" at seemingly the same time (before they can move on) because they go to a place outside of time -which is why Christian also said to Jack "there's no when, here son". Fun post Tori, we'll miss you LOST! :)The Hawkins Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00788635609072176132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673577535647114228.post-89909301527216930042010-05-25T18:31:59.324-07:002010-05-25T18:31:59.324-07:00Hey Tori,
I want in on the discussion - I agree th...Hey Tori,<br />I want in on the discussion - I agree that they weren't dead the whole time, only in post death. <br /><br />The issue I have is why the island was depicted as a character/entity almost from the start, but in the end, the last episode, in my opinion, could have almost existed on its own without the six seasons of back story -- kind of like a weak Sixth Sense. The background about a kid named Walt who was supposedly so significant that he could make birds fly into windows by looking at pictures of them ("I'm afraid we're going to have to take the boy..."), a guy named Desmond with a special gift for electromagnetic tolerance, a series of infamous numbers that had universal relevance, and last but not least, the island ("Guys, where are we?"). <br /><br />Well, apparently, we could have been in Manhatten in a plane crash together if it's only about meeting up with significant folks in our life in post-death, which still begs the question, Where are some of the significant folks like Michael, who killed Libby (featured in afterlife world)? We have Ben in afterlife world, and he killed John. I felt consistency was lacking with the afterlife even independent of the island back story. But I definitely wanted more closure to the island and its particular significance all along. <br /><br />We have to go eat the pizza we just made for dinner, but I'll try to get back on later for some more nerd talk. ;) I still consider myself a diehard Lost fan. I will always love the show; I'm sad it's over. And I can't wait to hear and read more theories because audience interpretation is definitely part of the equation in this thing to some extend -- either a tribute to the fans or a copout on behalf of the producers/writers. I haven't decided that yet. ????Beckyhttp://www.reclaimingthewomb.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673577535647114228.post-27115341242271869192010-05-25T18:18:39.018-07:002010-05-25T18:18:39.018-07:00I totally agree with your interpretation. Someone ...I totally agree with your interpretation. Someone at work also pointed out that if they were dead the whole time then how could they have formed relationships with people who weren't in the crash like Sawyer and Juliet?<br /><br />Adam, who thinks they were dead the whole time, said he thinks this because at the end of the credits they showed images of the plane wreckage with no indication of the camp.Ericanoreply@blogger.com
