I agree with Jamie about the whole issue with Juliet and she might be dropping a hint with her "It worked" comment about the 2nd story line which I will call the "parallel universe" from this point on.

For some reason I think that in the end, the island will be destroyed which is why it was all underwater at the beginning. This means that all the passangers arrived safely to LAX and were never on the island. Remember there is a time travel theme here. Kind of like a Back to the Future deal...only wierder???

The wall outside the temple has been seen before. This was where Ben went underground and saw the "monster" and where his dead daughter told him to listen to Locke and do whatever he says.

I have no idea who the hell are those monks and that Genghis Khan/Bruce Lee hybrid leader .

My theory:
At the end of the last season, we saw Jacob with some other dude on the beach arguing about the arrival of other people or some shit like that. I think these 2 became enemies and for some reason, that "other guy" became the monster, hence why he (in the form of Locke) wanted to kill Jacob. Something tells me that for some reason, them being supernatural or something, they could not physically harm each other which is why Locke needed Ben to kill Jacob.

Richard might have been a prisoner of this "other guy" (jacob's nemesis) and had him encarcerated until Jacob set him free, hence the aliance between jacob and richard. The monks might be loyal to jacob which is why they run out to set up those fireworks when they learn that Jacob is dead. And that monk leader also did that ash ring in order to protect himself from the monster(Locke). I find it interesting though that the monster says he "wants to go home".

Really freaky thought:
Don't know why but I have a feeling Jacob may be reincarnated in Sayid. Remember, he told Hurley about helping Sayid after he was dead and the note in the guitar case said they would all die if they did not help Sayid.

Just my thoughts...I need a cigar

I agree with the parallel universe theory. I don't know if one is happening in the future relative to the other or if they're truly parallel. I think there's some truth the theory that the Losties figure out the parallel thing when they die. Between Juliette and Charlie that seems at least possible if not probable.

When Sayid came back to life, I could have sworn it wasn't his voice that spoke but my wife thought his voice was just gravelly from having just drowned.

I'd say both Jacub and his nemesis are supernatural in some way or another. One can't kill the other and they seem to ahve some pretty crazy powers. I've always thought they represented the battle between good and evil though who's which is anyone's guess.

Why does Jack seem to remember the island after they reset when the others don't? Is that just me?

Trying to think about this one. What made you think he remembers the island?

Initially it seemed like Jack knew Bernard and Rose and it also seemed like he was testing Des when he asked if he knew him from somewhere.

I don't know about Bernard and Rose but remember that Jack actually met Des back in LA when Des was running in the stadium training for his sailing trip around the world.

Nice work, I have a tough time remembering all of the intricacies!

He also seemed to recognize the other islanders on the flight and was surprised when the turbulance didn't end with the plane crashing.

i also found jack acting a little weird. if you remember in season one when cindy first gives him the bottle of vodka, jack puts it in his pocket as if he knew he would need it for later. but this time he drinks it.

seems that after they blew the bomb in 1970 a whole new time line shot up where everyone on the flight has a better life. but i think this season the island will some how be destroyed so they can return to the new timeline, which is why juliette could speak to miles and tell him it worked.

i think the new timeline will have everyone interact off the island and live happily ever after. it will be interesting to see how they create parallels. like how jack saved charlie in the bathroom like he did on the island. i think jack will also cure locke so he can walk again. and kate will have some hand in raising aaron in the new 'world'.

from the season opener all i got was that jack james and kate shot back up to 2007 with sun richard and 'locke'. i have a hunch that richard was a slave on black rock...but his relationship with jacob and the smoke monster is up in the air. i had a feeling richard used the temple to heal, which is why never ages but so did little ben and he aged.

i thought season 6 would be a huge tying loose ends season but for everyone answer they are giving, 5 more questions pop up. I love/hate this so much!

sorry for the rambling...none of my friends watch this so i have all this bottled up, lol. cheers on starting this thread btw.
