Back to the island?
While I pretty much let LOST do what it wants, I was really hoping that the entire season 5 would not be spent TRYING to get back to the island, only to finally end up there during the season finale.
It looks as though the Oceanic 6, plus Desmond, Ben and (dead) Locke may actually be on their way back to the island by the end of tonight’s episode. And that’s neato!!
It appears Eloise Hawking, Faraday’s mom as I predicted, will show the Losties how to get back to the island to save their friends. I for one am really looking forward to the hows and whys of island travel being explained. Even if it’s just a little nugget, I’m stoked for the details we may get tonight. Actually, we’ve pretty much been getting little answers every week this season haven’t we?
LOST has been in a dark room for five seasons and the light is finally starting to seep in through the corners.
So, shortly before Charlotte died last week (sniffle, sniffle), she told Farady that she remembered him as a scary old man on the island, telling her to stay away or risk death, and also, seemingly offering her chocolate before dinner. Remember her last words? “I’m not supposed to have chocolate before dinner?”
What if?
What if Daniel Farady is Jacob? What if Farady, being so distraught over losing the love of his life, dedicated his life to mastering the art of time travel and going back , waaaay back in time, to the early days of the island, to try and prevent the whole time traveling donkey wheel from being built. But instead, he messes everything up, fucks with the space time continuum and creates a spooky, time traveling, twisted, backwards, magical island. The island we know today. The island we’ve been learning about for five season? What if the island is what it is, all electromagnetic and mysterious, because of Daniel Farday, traveling through time to save his dear Charlotte?
Too much to think about? Yeah, I thought so.
