LOST SEASON 6, aka THE CAUSE OF MY MIGRAINE

Don't read this if you didn't watch LOST last night. In fact don't read my blog ever again if you aren't watching LOST.... I'm kidding. In fact it might be better if you don't watch this show. Last nights season opener gave me a HUGE migraine. It was good, but it was confusing as horse poop. There were 3 questions answered last night, but unfortunately those answers raised more questions. ONLY LOST would raise even more questions in it's final season... I have too many to keep track of but I've developed both theories and answers for my questions. As I said before, only read this if your watching the current season other wise your brain will ooze out of your ears.....

The smoke monster reveal just created one bigger question in my mind....

-What/Who is the smoke monster ?
While we don’t quite know why that dude can turn into smoke, we do know for sure that the guy who has duplicated Locke’s body is indeed the smoke monster... But I believe that also means that Christian Sheppard is also the smoke monster. The question this raises though is why are there two Locke bodies in one place ? Remember, when Christian Sheppard’s coffin was found empty in season one, his body was running around the island.

By this basis, there should only be one Locke body on the island. Why are there two ? My theory is, the dead Locke body is just a transformed Christian Sheppard body that the smoke monster has disregarded now that he has the Locke body. I have no idea why he'd transform Christian into Locke but for now it’s the only thing that makes sense. And yes I do know the smoke monster guy can shape shift, but since Christian Sheppard’s body disappeared I assume he needs the actual body. Especially since he’s able to access memories and such.

-Did Jack's plan work ? Apparently yes, but how the heck did Juliet know ? She doesn’t have powers and dying shouldn’t give you the ability to know something you shouldn’t...Unless as she passed, this version of her slipped into my psyche of her alternate reality self, which might actually explain what she was rambling about right before her dying breath.

Also how did detonating the bomb in the 70’s cause so many changes ? I mean how the heck does the island get under water because of that ? I understand now why Desmond was on the plane, it’s because he couldn’t be in the swan hatch working, because it either was never built or because at this point it’s under water. I still don’t get how detonating that bomb caused seemingly unrelated changes, like Shannon not coming with Boone, Walt, Mr. Ecko, Vincent, Michael, Anna Lucia, and a host of others not being on the plane. I can swallow the idea that detonating the bomb created a change of events for Desmond but for everyone else things should be about the same. Jack should still get his two vodka’s (not one), and Charlie should still be trying take heroin, not commit suicide. My best guess is since these characters have already lived that life now that their are two time lines, the ones in the alternate one have a strange intuition kind of like deja-vu that might make them make slightly different choices.... This goes for everyone in the world, not just our Losties. In some cases though the differences don’t have anything to do with choice, like Christian Sheppard’s coffin disappearing, so is it possible that the world itself is slightly alternate and not just the characters ? I mean for all we know in this world, Canada is part of the United States. It’s very interesting but also very vexing.

Then there’s the idea that the timelines might converge (combine), but how ? And which versions of the characters will survive. Will everyone that died in Time line A, die in both time lines ? Do some of the characters even exist any more ? I mean by the logic of the alternate time line, Michael might not exist and thus neither does Walt and it’s sad if that’s the loop hole they’ve created for themselves to not have to deal with the issues raised by those characters. You teased us about Walt being special for years and now there’s a chance that he just never happened. I hope I’m wrong. Ha. It’s funny, this is the same concept of the new Star Trek movie and I loved it there but I think since we’re seeing both time lines at once it’s harder to love and easier to pick on.
