Season 5- Because You Left; The Lie

Welcome back Losties! it's been too long. I've been spending my time re-watching past seasons to look for clues- they will be incorporated into the blog. Also, apologies this wasn't updated right after the show aired but moving forward I will update as soon as I can. And shoutout to Doug O who is now officially part of IDJ new media by getting addicted to LOST!

- Locke in the casket.. but he's not dead. my theory is that the spiders that paralyzed nikki & paulo were used on him. that bogus episode had to happen for a reason. also reference to them by hurley's dad watching expose, the show nikki was in with billy dee williams.

- shotgun willie- from 1973. record skips like the island skips. check out the lyrics:

Shotgun Willie sits around in his underwear
Bitin' a bullet, pullin' out all of his hair
Shotgun Willie has got all of his family there

You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say
You can't make a record if you ain't got nothin' to say
You can't play music if you don't know nothin' to play

Well, John T. (Fours) was workin' with the Klu Klux Klan
The six foot five John T was a hell of a man
Made a lot of money sellin' sheets on the family plan


- so is mrs. chang a relative of Sun? we all think that the baby was miles. and that miles is back for revenge on ben because ben offed his father (dr. candle/halliwax/wickmund but really pierre chang). there's a video shown at comic con that reveals he knew of the purge and will die. he even knows who the president is.. time travel! also it sounds like daniel farraday is shooting the video. check out the video here:

- reference to Hitler.. dictator society.

- ben never told locke he apologized for making locke's life miserable. he always said he was bettering his life. why is he telling jack the opposite?

- rose in church. was the church ever completed by eko?

- Agostini and Norton law firm (guys that visit kate) is an anagram for "attaining donor son". the lawyer's name in Dan Norton (Dan Norton is a real life comic book writer who wrote for Dark Horse Comics- kate sees a dark horse on the island).

- miles wearing a hood. mrs. hawking also had a hood on. almost jedi-like.

- rainbow drive in- rainbow - wizard of oz reference.

- hugo says he wants a cool code name.. is this how he becomes hurley? do they time travel back and that's how he comes up with his name?

- locke's compass points north. mr. eko's jesus stick says look north.

- mattingly- one of the men threatened to cut off juliette's hand. mattingly- as in don, was also known as "the hit man". his baseball # is 23. jones- another guy- reference to jonestown? are mattingly, jones & cunningham living on the island when widmore ran it?

- desmond is faraday's constant. Faraday tells Desmond that the rules do not apply to him, because he is uniquely and miraculously special. So does that means that Desmond can change the past, and thus also the future? If that is in fact true, and Charles Widmore could also know this to be true, perhaps that is why he wanted Desmond to stay away from Penny - and by extension, himself.

- hurley- someday i'll remember this. you'll need my help and i'm not going to give it.
are the dead people hurley sees his constants? also, the dead aren't really dead: If you go back in time and die, you are not “totally” dead because there has already been a variation of the universe where you were alive in the future. Thus, you become “half dead” until time catches back up. In other words, your presence may be known to some people but not others. Your presence would only be known when you are required to make an impact to fate.

- hurley references the godfather. in the pilot, locke put an orange in his mouth and smiled like the godfather did.

- neil/frogurt. another annoying extra. however, sawyer picks up a shirt and asks who's it is. neil says it's his foreshadowing his own death.. boone said"red shirts" were always the ones which were killed on missions in the television show "Star Trek". michael wears a lot of red shirts. most of the cast is in blue, green, brown or plaids in those colors.

- why did sun's baby appear much younger than aaron? they should only be 9 months apart.

- kate said in a past episode usually you can tell someone is lying if they look away. people on lost look right in each other's eyes when they lie.

- hurley's shirt- shith-tzu dogs- display qualities of devotion and adaptability. They are not afraid to stand up for themselves. They tend to be sweet, playful, and trusting as well. also "Dream Police" is playing in the deli where he gets the shirt. "the dream police they live inside of my head! see more lyrics here: http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Dream_Police

- odd that hurley's parents seem to not recognize sayid.. when he was at hurley's birthday party. seems as if there's some time traveling going on there, hence why hurley isn't hurley yet but still hugo.


- jill- my theory is that jill is annie, ben's childhood friend who gave him the doll. off the island she has a different name like locke's jeremy bentham, because she is supposed to be dead. i believe ben helped get her off the island before he poisoned the dharmas. also, the producers said that annie, horace & olivia goodspeed will play a big part this season.

- mrs. hawking- stephen hawking is a real life British theoretical physicist http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking- he also wrote A Brief History of Time. A Brief History of Time is a popular science non-fiction book which was written to make the esoteric subject of astrophysics (and theories about how the universe began) accessible to laypeople, with minimal technical jargon. The book begins with an introduction to physics concepts such as gravity and black holes, and concludes with analysis and search for a grand unifying theory. is she more powerful than ben? is she faraday's mother? or charlotte's mother? she is the one to help course-correct the universe. she needs ben to get the others back to the island or we all die.. god help us all.

- is charlotte farraday's daughter? when she says i haven't had a nosebleed since i was a child he looks weird. their relationship could be more of a father/daughter one. and maybe he is supposed to bring charlotte back to the island or maybe she insists on going so he goes with her to protect her.

ok.. that's all for now. please comment and let me know your thoughts!

some thoughts...
-Locke is dead off of the island, he'll come back to life when he gets back to the island (spiders poison only lasts around 8 hours according to the teacher... remember Nikki's eyes opened when the dirt was thrown on her)

-I'm pretty sure ben did say he was sorry to Locke... end of season 4

-do you think that hurley could be the dead peoples constants?

-i thought faraday freaked out about the nose bleed because he knows thats one of the first signs of dying.

Farraday's mother was the woman who wouldn't let Desmond buy the ring when he was unstuck in time.

My feeling is that penny is charlotte's mother.

edited to add: and by extension desmond her father

IT'S KAREN-
FYI: In the Pearl video Chang appeared to have use of his left arm; however, in the Swan and Flame films, he did not, reason unknown. In the Barracks video, he did not move his left arm, suggesting it might have been a cosmetic device. In the Orchid Orientation video, he was using both his arms.

It is unknown why he used a different name in each film in which he introduced himself. His false names all relate to candles (candle, wick, wax).

A key anagram for the name "Pierre Chang" is "Cheap Ringer". Definition: cheap ringer (slang) - inexpensive knock-off or imitation, copy of poor quality, deficient duplicate.

"Marvin," a variant of Mervin is of Welsh origin, meaning "sea friend". Some derive this name from Myrddin, the Welsh name of King Arthur's wizardly tutor (known in English as Merlin), a name that means "sea fortress".

The last names "Candle," "Wickmund" and "Halliwax" are each references to candles. He has worn a Swan logo coat or a Flame logo coat in every video except one in which he wore a turtle-neck and sport-coat.

Pierre is the French form of Peter. St Peter is one of the 12 Apostles Jesus chose. St Peter is often portrayed as the "Holding the Keys to the kingdom of Heaven . The Kingdom of Heaven is often called "The Pearly Gates"



Michael Faraday (i.e., Daniel's namesake) gave famously popular lectures titled, "The Chemical History of a Candle".
