			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Ok so it's the night before Xmas and all through the house.. no wait a minute...  It was the night before the  Lost Finale and all through my mind I am theorizing like never before.  And just now it hit me like most theories do to us.  It has this Kismet feeling to it, that is undeniable.  Here it is...<br />
<br />
in "across the sea" I believe that crazy Mom was not only the protector, but also the smoke monster.  (Cerberus) - The guardian.<br />
<br />
The difference between MIB and his Mom is one thing- he was a reluctant guardian.<br />
<br />
In other words if MIB had not made it so absolutely imperative that he leave the island then Jacob would never have had the job.  <br />
<br />
So now moving forward, Jack is now in Jacob's role.  In the FS the island is submerged.<br />
<br />
If Flocke succeeds in submerging the island (which seems to be the case in the FS) then what needs to be done to counteract these actions?<br />
<br />
I submit that we will see the FS Losties find someway to the submerged island, and have someone (Probably Jack) sacrifice himself to be the new Cerberus, The island is back up and running.  <br />
<br />
Which would have to mean that Flocke will beat our island losties, for this to take place.<br />
<br />
ok, thats what i got in a flash thought process...</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Ok so since alot of this stuff is just percolating in my head as im typing.  This may come out a little disjointed.  <br />
<br />
Ok so as of across the Sea we know that MIB comes into contact with "the Source".  We know from Ben's, Desmond's and Locke's brief exposure to the Source, that "unpredictable" things happen.  <br />
<br />
The things that have happened in those incidents, were a little time and space movement.  So seeing MIB in a different place, by the stream, after his exposure, seems like more of the same.  <br />
<br />
Some other strangeness that my mind is wrangling with starts back at Locke's turn at the FDW.  at that moment he drops and breaks his leg and finds that the well is no longer there but he is in the lower chamber.  This is when Christian comes out and this is what really weirds me out.  If we are to assume that that is the MIB version of Christian, then that means that MIB could zip to the past.  No problem got it.. check <br />
<br />
So When MIB moves over to Locke, then I wonder if Flocke ever zipped to the past to be any one of the Lockes that we have seen in season's past.  Just a thought.<br />
<br />
I think we can all see some kind of interaction with "The Source" again in the futre so who will it be and what "Unpredictable" event will occur.<br />
<br />
And will this event be the connection to the Alt or was "The Indecent" the event that created the Alt. <br />
<br />
AllI can say is i hope the Finale doesn't come across too rushed like say for instance the Stargate Atlantis finale did.  they chose to put a 2 hour movie plot into 1 hour.  Lost has 2 1/2 hours.  But no matter what theory that anyone of can devise, no matter how simple.  2 1/2 hours still seems too short.. o.O<br />
<br />
Good Luck to us.<br />
<br />
Nuff for now..</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Lost places a special significance on the foot.  <br />
<br />
Have you noticed it yet?  Heres Just a few of the mentions on the show, we have:<br />
<br />
1.	The sneakers worn by Christian.<br />
2.	The need for Jack to put special dress shoes on dead Locke, and Flocke having to walk around in those new shoes.<br />
3.	Sawyer who in one case steps on a stick.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/lostpedia/images/2/21/Dart.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<br />
4.	Sawyer who in other case steps on dart.<br />
<img src="http://i39.tinypic.com/2zj9mjm.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<br />
5.	Locke, one of the first clips we see of him is his “naked feet” with no shoes after the crash.<br />
6.	Locke breaks his leg and we see his foot in a cast.<br />
7.	When Flocke goes to see Sawyer at the barracks and Sawyer is drunk, the first thing we see are his feet.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://lost.com/forum/blog_attachment.php?attachmentid=1&amp;d=1272702075" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<br />
8.	In the Brig, Sawyer walks in the jungle in his barefeet.<br />
9.	Sun pushs Jin shoes under the bed with her naked feet.<br />
10.	And, then of all things we have the statue.  The statue is destroyed all but its feet.<br />
<br />
<img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_l7d27XVdgDE/SagSusgCQKI/AAAAAAAAAAM/F6CorXqhzBs/s1600/4toes.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<br />
So some might think its random that TPTB have just happened to spend so much footage on the foot and its just coincidental.  However, its another clue to the entire key of Lost.<br />
<br />
<b>Ultimately this is a simple and one of the most significant clues in the show.<br />
<br />
Where you “stand” and what you stand on is your “Position” on something.  And your position on something, simply put is “your philosophy”.  So basically all of these clues once again present that Lost is first and foremost a story about philosophy.  A history of philosophy told as a thought experiment game/test.  And typically these feet references also refer messages directly to “philosophy changes” and hint directly to the philosophical references points they present.</b><br />
<br />
<font color="Orange"><b>Sawyers naked feet </b>– No philosophy, in search of a new philosophy, can’t make up his mind on what his philosophy is.<br />
<br />
<b>Jacobs statue</b> – The “body” of his philosophy destroyed and all that remains is the “base” or the “fundamentals” of his philosophy.<br />
<br />
<b>Locke on island with no shoes</b>--  Arrives with “no philosophy” and Jacob and MiB fight for him to be on their team and their philosophy.<br />
<br />
<b>Christian and Flocke with different shoes</b> – Arrive on island and their philosophy is “not truly their own”.<br />
<br />
<b>Sawyer’s dart to the foot</b> – Sawyers philosophy has been attacked or injured.<br />
<br />
<b>Lockes feet in a cast</b> – Locks philosophy is “broken” and being rehealed into a new philosophy ultimately even with a new name.</font><br />
<br />
<font color="Red">People have been searching for all kinds of "complex" hidden messages <br />
to the show for 6 years and the whole time,<br />
its been right in front of their <b>feet</b>.</font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I have already written posts for the last 2 months especially concerning <u>philosophy</u>, and the sickness, and the EMF effects.  It would be difficult to understand the following unless you have read some of that other stuff to understand where I'm coming from.  I still believe all my posts and theory of the show principally being about philosophy and is principally a game or thought experiment.  However, we still have the shows central plot playout and conclusion of those concepts and this is my first stab at a more far reaching theory thats inclusive of the dynamics of and details of the conclusion of the show.<br />
<br />
Locke does not kill Desmond because Desmond&#8217;s &#8220;Philosophy&#8221; -- not his &#8220;conscience&#8221; -- is what went to the Flash Sideways.  I didn&#8217;t put that together right away and I&#8217;m the guy saying philosophy, philosophy, philosophy :rolleyes:.  Anyway, his philosophy from this timeline went to the FS and his philosophy from the FS went to this timeline.  They consolidated and traded places.  So the Desmond in the FS is now an empiricist&#8230;.  He&#8217;s basically like Ben was in episode 2-4.  He&#8217;s just manipulating people and killing them like Ben would do and like we saw for most of the first 5 seasons of Lost except hes doing it in the FS.  Even one of his first tasks was to assemble "a list"...something we've heard all too much previously by Ben and the Others.   However, on the island, Desmond now has what the <i>Others </i>called the &#8220;sickness&#8221;.  His heart has grown &#8220;<b>dark</b>&#8221; (no emotions).  This is why Desmond seems to have no fear of death and no emotions&#8230;.   <b>He has become a rationalist philosophically.</b><br />
<br />
Basically said the EM field caused a philosophy switch and half of his philosophy &#8220;died&#8221; or &#8220;switched&#8221; (take your pick) in the current timeline.  Perhaps even Desmond &#8220;on island&#8221; has died, but come back to life on island as (what we were calling a) &#8220;Zombie&#8221; because his off island presence still exists and he has only simply switched philosophy with the FS.   The huge EM field basically was a way to sort of manually inducing the Smokey process of &#8220;claiming people&#8221; or giving them the &#8220;sickness&#8221; electromagnetically.<br />
<br />
I think this method could be crucial going forward to put people on team Smokey that could sabotage his team but that he can&#8217;t kill.  Call it a merge if you want but switching philosophies between the FS and the current reality allows you a pseudo way to move players between teams using the other universe.  Demonstrated by mistake by Widmore...its still a great ultimate strategy.<br />
<br />
The behavior of Desmond in the FS is Empiricist, going after penny as a love interest, killing Locke, observing Locke (very much like Ben). The behavior of Desmond on the Island is Rationalist, no feelings, no fear (very much like Smokey).<br />
<br />
Locke does not kill Desmond:  why?  Well he can&#8217;t kill him directly.  I'm sure I believe this is the same exact rule as the Candidates.  He can&#8217;t kill Desmond because now he is one of his own people (perhaps someone from his own universe timeline).  He has the same philosophy as Locke.  The only way to get rid of Desmond on island now is for someone else besides Locke to kill him&#8230;.  So he throws him down a well&#8230;good move by Smokey.<br />
<br />
Desmond now has the &#8220;sickness&#8221;&#8230;just like Sayid and just like Claire.   The significance of this is enormous.  Why?  In my opinion, the FS actually hints to what the sickness is and what the rest of Lost is about.</div>

			<title>Daniel is the VARIABLE in 77</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I'm doing this on sort of an epiphany I had while thinking of Jack n why things transpired the way they did in 77...<br />
I'm starting to think that Daniel was supposed to throw Jughead down the hole(not Jack)...he's pretty much the only 1 who can, so it explodes(we all know candidates can't kill themselves).......I know this sounds crazy, but read this with an open mind n think about it for a bit....<br />
<br />
Basic Idea(not very detailed):<br />
<br />
Daniel...back in 77, hasn't been born yet(ala pregnant Eloise)...so technically he doesn't belong anywhere...an had Eloise not shot him in the back in the "Others" camp, he would have been able to explain his presence(who he was) there and warn them of what he had to do and for them to get off the island before Jughead's detonation(like i think he was trying to)...had it happened this way...Eloise n Charles would have left the island n Daniel would have been born in the Alternate T/L <b>AFTER</b> Jughead sinks the island(like we are seeing in the S/R)...killing Jacob n burying Smokey under water at the same time...trapping him forever!.../like killing 2 birds with 1 stone/lol...<br />
<br />
How Daniel is the Variable: At the point of Jughead's detonation, the Embodiment of Daniel Faraday doesn't exist...not anywhere, especially not on the wheel of candidates in the "Lighthouse"...because <b>he</b> doesn't exist...<br />
  From original 2007 T/L on the island: We've seen Faraday's name on the list of candidate's(lostpedia.com...search-Candidates), he is #101 n it's crossed out...But in 1977(orig. T/L) Daniel FARADAY(a Physicist, <b>who doesn't yet exist</b>), <b>CAN</b> blow up Jughead, Changing the T/L...n...creating n Alt(substitute) T/L<br />
Now...month's later when Eloise gives birth in the Alt(substitute) T/L...she gives birth to Daniel WIDMORE!!...who is not a candidate(cause the island doesn't exist anymore), nor a Physicist because, Eloise now has no need to push him...his future is whatever he make's it(a Musician as we see)...<br />
<br />
this is just the idea n maybe all wrong but, this show is all about thinking outside the box!!</div>

			<title>EMOTIONS on Island and in the FS</title>

			<description>On Island:  
Sayid tells Flocke in the sun/jin centeric episode.  I feel no emotions, no pain, no anger, no sorrow.  Claire also appears emotionless...</description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>On Island: <br />
Sayid tells Flocke in the sun/jin centeric episode. <i> I feel no emotions, no pain, no anger, no sorrow.</i>  Claire also appears emotionless when killing the others.<br />
<br />
<b>Do you know why?</b><br />
<br />
The reason Sayid feels no emotions is because he has been claimed and has taken all of the philosophical traits of the Rationalist philosopher embodiement of Flocke.  Furthermore, the empiricism philosophy in him "died" at the Temple waters.  <br />
<br />
The reason Sayid feels no emotions is because in philosophy, emotions have been defined and attributed to the opposite philosophy-Empiricism.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_James" target="_blank">William James</a> a 19th century American "<b><i>Empiricist</i></b>" philosopher who was also a doctor wrote a Theory of Emotion which was co-authoed by Carl Lange called the  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James-Lange_theory" target="_blank">James-Lange theory of emotion</a>.  This theory basic attributed emotion as something that arises out of "touch" of objects and stimuli within the sympathetic nervous system or the parasympathetic nervous system.  Objects and stimuli responses to touch and objects is a major doctrine of empiricism (Jacobs philosophy).  <br />
<br />
<font color="DeepSkyBlue"><b>In summary:  Sayid looses his emotions because the historical philosophical record for the philosophical definition of emotions is attributed to the opposite philosophy of empircism.  The empiricism philosophy within Sayid is Dead.</b></font><br />
<br />
In the Sideway reality:  Because Jacob is dead in the FS and the FS is dominated by the philosophy of Smokie, we see a similar thing happening.  People are loosing their emotions like Love.  People who should be in love are not.  People who should be married are not.  In addition, objects which are necessary in an empiricst world to stimulate emotions (ie, Desmonds ring) actually disappear in the timeline.</div>

				In season 1, Pilot part 1 start playing the episode at around 39:56 when Kate and Charlie are stepping over a big, downed tree. <br />
<br />
You can hear a loud screech in the background and it sounds like it says "Hurley". <br />
<br />
Charlie notices it and looks back like "what the hell?" 
			
		</td>
	</tr>
	</table>
</div>Check it out.<br />
<br />
<font color="Yellow">There you go...Jacob in the Pilot episode.</font><br />
<br />
---<br />
The Hurley bird is NOT a hyped up thing.  What the bird says is immaterial.  The Bird has a 16 foot wingspan...and its prehistoric.  Why do you think its prehistorical and one of the few things living on the island?   The only other thing on the island that old is Smokie and Jacob.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Hurley_Bird" target="_blank">http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Hurley_Bird</a> makes reference to the May4th 2007 podcast (its not a spoiler anymore since its 3 years old)...I listened to it and they very obviously say the bird seems to be significant to me...there is no more joking than any other podcast except saying this bird has never seen Hurley before he arrived on the island as its too large to be in LA.  In the March 21, 2008 podcast they refused to comment on it when they were giving away clues.  In other words, they thought the clue was too advanced for the timeline of the show.<br />
<br />
One form of the Egyptian god Horus is a <font color="Lime">green </font>falcon. This fits with the Egyptian themes of the show.   There are numerous drawings of the falcon including on Jacobs tapestry.<br />
<br />
The Hurley bird is <font color="lime">Green</font>.<br />
<img src="http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20061005233241/lostpedia/images/thumb/f/f4/Hurley_bird.jpg/250px-Hurley_bird.jpg" border="0" alt="" /><br />
<br />
Also birds are significant on the show and the reason is because of Jacob..you should be able to make that connection with the Hurley Bird and Horus. <br />
<a href="http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Birds" target="_blank">http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Birds</a><br />
<br />
Go watch the Pilot and listen for yourself and you will see that it is <u>NOT </u>a "natural" bird sound and loud and Charlie has been coached to stop and notice it with a WTF expression on his face.  WHY?  It should be obvious at this point.<br />
<br />
What are people looking for a caption that comes across the screen and says:  <i>Charlie stops and hears Jacob disquised as a bird in the background.</i><br />
<br />
Why do you think TPTB would make a 16 foot wingspan green prehistoric bird?  Just for the hell of it.  Trump the productions costs up a bit???  <br />
:confused:<br />
<br />
<font color="Yellow"><b>I see this as another question answered that the viewers think has not been answered.</b>  Its an example of why many people are not going to be satisfied that all questions have been answered at the end of the show and one of the things TPTB say we missed in Season 1.</font></div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>My theory starts form the stand point that this show is about duality, among other things of course.  But we can all find things that can be defined in this show by one thing or another.  Black/white, science/faith, love/hate, kate/juliette  whatever you can go on and on.  <br />
<br />
the most important thing about this unending battle is not who wins, but it's that the battle at a fundamental level exists.  So balance is and always will be the rule, which will leave us ultimately in ambiguity, about the ending.  We will be split at the end about the "Ultimate" meaning of what they present to us.  which is what their goal is. <br />
<br />
So in laying that out, I have been putting my theory together from a standpoint of doing my best to make assumptions based on fundamental facts, and not worry about what that would mean to the losties and their individual happy endings.  In other words theorize based on science and faith definaitions, and then apply that to the losties and their world.  Hope I haven't lost ya yet.. theory starts here..<br />
<br />
Ok Lets go back to the "Incident" episodes.  Juliette blows the H-Bomb, and Jacob get's "Kenny'd"  I believe that at that moment we are shown a single event form two different angles, or points of view.  <br />
<br />
The reason is, I define MIB as Dark Matter, or better yet the personification of dark matter.  I'm sure most of you would agree with that, or some level of that.  There is a reason that Dharma was there and it's because Dharma is DARMA is Dark Matter.  So we pretty much can deduce that the island is "Border station" between Dark and light matter-(don't have a better term.)  MIB and Jacob are the personification of this same thing.<br />
<br />
So back to the "Incedent"- In the same moment that we see Jacob being stabbed we are also shown Juliette blow the bomb. And at that moment the "Alt" is created.<br />
 I think this is the writers creating a tangible physical personification of the expansion of the uiniverse. <br />
 Dark matter was instantly released into our side and in doing so our universe expanded, which was and is represented in the alt. <br />
 I submit that, if the alt was not created than it would have in fact been the end of it all.  But why should life be given a chance, when it always ends the same, we lie, we kill.., <br />
We should be given a chance because down at our worst possible moment we will choose love over hate.  Instead of killing Jacob over not killing Jacob.<br />
<br />
1. the island is the cork.<br />
2. It was popped. (Jacob/Jughead) <br />
3. but in that moment we now have a new bottle because we have a new alt. <br />
4. we have a new cork. (submerged) <br />
5. But we need to have the ultimate question answered first.  Love or Hate.<br />
6. If love- we have a new Jacob and the island emerges in the alt. and all those who chose well will live on with a new sense of fulfillment  with the knowledge of everything that they had done. and the to have the lives they had dreamt of with  those they love the most.<br />
7. The candidate must deserve the role as Jacob by correctly answering a fundamental question of love over hate and the enigma of sacrifice.<br />
8. I don't think it is lost on the writers that sacrificing ones self on the island with the knowledge that there is another state of being, isn't an obvious reflection of various after-life beliefs.  And it shouldn't be lost on us either.<br />
<br />
My pick for an outstanding Candidate:<br />
                      Sayid<br />
Why: In my radical opinion the only way for the candidate to succeed is to remove the threat of death.  Any one on the island can kill each other.  Last man standing kind of thing.  and who better to pull of another beach karate session with a new version of Richard in the future?<br />
<br />
But ultimately I haven't a clue who.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>MIB's ship sailed in '77, he just doesn't know it yet. He is trying to get off an island in a world that has long been condemed, and due to be evacuated. Cuz there is some new digs that just opened up in the multi-verse. All the losties have to do is just let go and "pass over" cuz it'll all be cool. See you in another life brother. Put a fork in it, It's done, he ain't comin' down for breakfast.<br />
<br />
it's been nagging at me about Jacob saying to MIB that if he were to be killed that there will always be another and MIB saying well I'll kill him too.<br />
Soo lets describe that conversation in terms of Science. If Dark expands than The opposite would expand as well to maintain balance. So the alt happened exactly at the same time as Jughead going off and Jacob getting stabbed. (in the observers view) So Thats the moment of expansion. Now the losties that we love have to decide if this new world is home or believe that it worked and your conciuousness can move over..., with a catch. You gotta die first.<br />
<br />
(Now until I see a character in the alt, who isn't dead already, that acts like they remember stuff like Faraday and Charlie did, then this is my theory.)</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>First of all i believe that the alt is the new "normal". In other words this all happened before in some way where Dark expanded and the island gets flipped so to speak and the balance always remains. which is what I think Jacob means when he say's there will always be another just as much as he means a candidate. This world we have thought was ours is now MIB's and the alt is the new normal.<br />
<br />
So now as far as Daniel is concerned and all the other losties in the alt. The one thing they can not do is try to undo what was done. If they do then the balance will flip back and yes we get the old normal back, but everyone who has died will remain dead at best. And there will be no moving on to a higher existence so to speak ( and if you think that "passing" over to the alt isn't a little "after life" like then you are missing it. They can't resist the metaphor I guarantee it.) So will there be a race to see which side does the right thing? Also this would explain Eloise's desire for things stay calm.<br />
<br />
This show has to end with simultaneous explanations of Science, Island Mythology/religion/philosphy. In other words just like when we saw jacob getting stabbed, we also created the alt. by blowing up an H-bomb in the face of Dark Matter. science and mythol. same event.</div>

<br />
I'm basically saying that the universe is expanding and you have a choice you to either stay on the positive side of the expansion or you resolve yourself to the dark matter. but someone has to hold the gate. And be responsible for putting together a scenario that creates an alt once again. and again and again</div>

			<title>The Philosophy of the Sideways World</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Ok, many of you know that I see philosophy as the driving force or plot writing device for the show Lost.  They are now showing us this once again in the sideways world.<br />
<br />
In the sideways world, Jacob is dead....so his philosophy is dead.  And the elements of his philosophical influence on the losties has disappeared and Smokies philosophy has appeared instead.<br />
<br />
For example:<br />
<br />
Danial Faraday:  Choose a career in in Science originally under the influence of Jacob and the Island.  Science is Jacobs philosophy.  Now, Faraday is a musician instead like Descartes was.  Both have elements of mathmatics.  However, music is an endearor of a rationalist.<br />
<br />
Mariage and Love:  Physical emotional responses is of the philosophy of Jacob.  Smokies philosophy is of pure reason.  So in essence you have a lot of the lost characters blinded by the pursuit of reason overruling their emotions and need for tactial stimulation.<br />
<br />
Sawyer:  Under the influence of Jacobs philosophy you have a desire for revenge.  Under the influence of Smokies philosophy you have a push to the legal system.  A system of laws and social contracts.<br />
<br />
Jack:  Still a physician...but perhaps now he is a "caring" physician.  Not just looking at medicine as a stiff strict observation of data.<br />
<br />
The sideways world is going to get more interesting as it looses the aspects of Jacobs philosophy and gathers the aspects of Smokies philosophy.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Even though I believe that Smokie is Rene (Descartes), as portraying his philosophy, I don't think thats what his name will be.<br />
<br />
I think his name will preserve the "Jack" and "John" name -vs- name dichotomy (name game).<br />
<br />
Jack -vs- John<br />
Aaron (name incarnate of Jack) -vs- JiYeon [pronounced literally (J) ohn]<br />
Jacob (Name incarnate of Jack) -vs- ???Smokie??? (name incarnate of John)<br />
<br />
Other possible name derivatives for John might be:<br />
Hans<br />
Giovanni<br />
Evan<br />
Ivan<br />
Juan<br />
Jonathan <br />
Nathan<br />
Shawn<br />
...<br />
and...Jack<br />
<br />
Of course, let us not forget that Jack and John are name derivatives of the same name as well.  This is a clue to me they are two parts of the same whole.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/John" target="_blank">http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/1/John</a> <br />
<br />
<font color="Yellow"><i><font size="2">The boy's name John \<br />
<br />
jo-<br />
<br />
hn\ is pronounced jahn. It is of Hebrew origin, and its meaning is "God's grace". Biblical: the name of the longest-lived of the 12 apostles, who was especially loved by Christ. Also the name of John the Baptist, who baptized Christ in the Jordan river. Dozens of variant forms, given names and surnames, male and female, have been created in almost every language. For a few examples, Jan is a Dutch and Slavic form; Janos is Czech; Joao is Portuguese; and the Johan variants are German and Swiss. Possibly the most popular name in history; kings, popes, saints, heroes, villains, and men of every degree between have borne the name. A contemporary trend seems to be to hyphenate Joh, Jean, Jon, Sean, and Shawn with various other names. Actors John Gielgud, John Barrymore, John Wayne, John Cusack, John Leguizamo, Johnny Depp; American Presidents John F. Kennedy, John Tyler, John Adams, John Quincy Adams; poet John Donne; Beatle John Lennon; composer Johannes Bach; football player John Elway; lawyer Johnnie Cochrane.<br />
<br />
John has 85 variant forms: Anno, Ean, Eian, Eion, Euan, Evan, Ewan, Ewen, Gian, Giannes, Gianni, Giannis, Giannos, Giovanni, Hannes, Hanno, Hans, Hanschen, Hansel, Hansl, Iain, Ian, Ioannes, Ioannis, Ivan, Ivann, Iwan, Jack, Jackie, Jacky, Jan, Jancsi, Janek, Janko, Janne, Janos, Jean, Heanno, Jeannot, Jehan, Jenkin, Jenkins, Jens, Jian, Jianni, Joannes, Joao, Jock, Jocko, Johan, Johanan, Johann, Johannes, John-Carlo, John-Michael, Johnn, Johon, Johnie, Johnnie, Johnny, John-Patrick, John-Paul, Jon, Jona, Jonnie, Jovan, Jovanney, Jovanney, Jovanni, Jovonni, Juan, Juanito, Juwan, Sean, Seann, Shane, Shaughn, Shaun, Shawn, Vanek, Vanko, Vanya, Yanni, Yanno and Zane.<br />
<br />
For more information, see also related names Baptist, Battista, Chan, Dajon, Eoin, Evian, Gahan, Hovannes, Huon, Ieuan, Ioanis, Janak, Jones, Keon, Sinjin, Yann, Yannis, Yochanan and Yovanny. <br />
<br />
Baby names that sound like John are Jonn, Ion, Eon and Jonny.</font></i></font></div>

				<div style="font-style:italic">I wonder if the "someone" quip is actually a kind of double meaning for Jack coming to the realization of what he has to do and why he has been brought back to the island. "I was broken" is a BIG realization for Jack. I know that sitting and looking out at the ocean can have a calming and centering effect. Locke is coming to the temple and maybe, if there IS someone else coming to the island--I'd bet on Desmond. Funny that Jacob sent them to the temple and then this Jacob had to get them away from the temple.</div>

	</table>
</div>I just thought of something...what if they all have doubles and they come to the island all together...and somehow they confront each other...and discuss what they were and who they are now...and discuss how they changed for the better in some cases.  Something weird will happen but will make sense in the end.  I can't imagine how the show will makes sense...but it was certainly a great ride (Phanominal Show) best I ever watched..please bring more like it Mr. Abrams :)</div>

</div>Isle, I think you are very correct in assuming their paths would have crossed on the island or in LA...they will come together at the end...in a place all together.  I am hoping that is the case...to have them all together and realize how important all their friendships are to each and everyone of them.  <br />
 <br />
It would be nice if they all were in a show together and continued their lives..I am hoping Mr. Abrams does this for the fans sake...That would be a dream come true.</div>

What if it's Kate who's leading a double life and in one life she is a fugitive because of a crime she didn't commit and in the other she's Jack's ex-wife and that's why he gave her that strange look back at the airport in episode 3. Try to beat that in crazy!</div>

</div>I am pretty sure that Kate is the wife of Jack and David is their son at the end.  Kate and Jack are divorced or separated...  I think Jack and Kate belong together but Kate and Jack has some issues to work out.  At the end I believe they will be together and Jack loves his son.  Jack doesn't want the relationship with his son that Jack had with his dad...and in this last episode it shows the love he has for his son.  This is what Jacob wants for Jack.  Down the road Kate will realize also how important her life is with Jack as well.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Theory:  How MiB became Flocke<br />
<br />
Many people assume that MiB took over Christian in the same manner as Locke.  I don't believe thats the case.  I think we have two different things going on here.<br />
<br />
Claiming a piece:  MiB can claim any person on the island that dies and that is not buried under ground.  I think generally people are beginning or already do agree with that.  However, in that agreement, we know that the person's "physical body" is "used up" in the process.  Christians body was never found because it was "used" or became "infected" with the sickness.  His body became a walking zoombie.  the same is true now for Sayid and for Claire.  Their bodies are clearly "used" and remain in tact.<br />
<br />
John Locke is "clearly" different because his body still exists and is unburied.  The person "walking" around in the appearance of Locke is not the one in the same person.  The situation is clearly different.  This begs the question for some of you.  How did MiB become John Locke in this case as opposed to the other cases?<br />
<br />
My theory is quite simple.<br />
<br />
Christian (MiB spirited) was in the wheel room when John Locke turned the wheel.  MiB fused his soul with John Locke at the moment John Locke turned the wheel.  His "spirit or soul" for lack of a better word was riding inside of John Locke during his entire time "off-island".  Once Ben killed John Locke, the spirit of MiB took control over John Lockes body and he rode the body back to the island.  Once on the island, he was able to take on the complete shape and form of John Locke without needing his body anymore.  His soul is now "fused" with the original soul of John Locke in a wholy and complete different manner than the other zombies.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div><b>Theory: Why babies can't be born </b><br />
<br />
I have a rather simple theory of why no babies could be born on the island with what we now know.<br />
<br />
Quite simply: from the period of the Incident and the crash of 815, if a baby had been born, it would have created a Time Paradox. Its the opposite of a normal paradox where you go back in time and kill someone that procreated you. Instead it would have created the reverse time paradox where you go back in time and someone is created who has the potential of procreation. Same problem...just in reverse.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>I still believe all of my previous blog entries concerning the chess game of philosophy.  But its not literally a chess game...this is really a metaphor.  The following I believe is how the "spark" of Lost was created.<br />
<br />
I see the producers at ABC going to the writers of ABC and saying: Look guys we are getting killed by this reality show on CBC.  We need something like that but we can't copy it.  And the writers say ok:  I got an idea.  Lets make a "reality" show like Survivor where people have to survive but lets don't make the people real.  In fact, lets make the whole thing fiction, science fiction instead.  Ok...that sounds good...but on the real tv show survivor they compete against each other:  Outwit, Outplay, Outlast....and thats the heart of the show...how can we reproduce this on "fictional" characters.  Simple, I got it says Damon, we will may it a more generic version of Outwit, Outplay, Outlast based upon the fundamental concept of that show.  We will make it based upon human Philosophy.....basically all of our human choices (and the ones made on Survivor) are philosophical ones whether they are religious or other words.  Ok, great...thats the show.<br />
<br />
A science fiction version of Survivor where the characters are fictional and impetus is human philosophy as the basis and driving energy of the show.<br />
<br />
So yes, its a game of sorts.<br />
Yes, its based on survival of the "fittest".<br />
Yes, it based on human philosophy and human psychologoy.</div>
