Other guesses Spoiler: what is the Island? Ran the 4 letters, with no "e" or "a" through a online word program. came back with thousands of words, but only a few could possibly make sense (as far as I can figure). Here they are: Brig - The Island is a prison (not sure why or for who, or why the rest of the world would depend on it? Unless it is keeping someone very dangerous confined (ie. Satan) Womb - The Island is like Eden. The birth place of all humanity and the source of our continued growth. Ties in with the Egyptian statute of fertility. Kind of metaphysical, but could be the answer. No children being born on the island is a sign that something is very wrong on the isalnd and with the world. Crib - Kind of like Womb. A place to nurture humanity. Locke built Claire a crib way back in season one. Also ties in with the no babies, interest in children, etc... Door - The Island acts as a doorway to all other possible realities. Someone has to prevent it from being opened or all the realities will mix together and chaos will happen. Ties in with the alternate reality we are seeing this season. The MIB could be from another place and by opening the door he will "escape", Jacob has to keep the door locked. This is almost the exact same plot as Season 5 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, where Dawn was the Key to open the door between worlds. Lock - Ties in with Door above. All the same stuff applies. Ship & Plug were mentioned above. Plug would be the same thing as a Lock.
Walt, Vincent, Libby, Widmore and the Hurley Bird are returning! But no Abbadon or Annie. And still no word on Ana-Lucia.
The thing is. How can they be "working on" getting Walt back when they already are writing the last episode? By this point they should already know if the actor can make it or not, so there shouldn't be any "work" in making it happen.
Terry O'Quinn is playing someone we won't see until the finale? It has to be a reborn Locke! For my sanity if nothing else.
I think what that means is that we won't see MIB's true form until the finale. The one coming to the island has got to be Desmond, given that Henry Ian Cusick has been spotted filming beach scenes with Terry O'Quin. Spoilers from the latest Podcast: Sayid will slit Lennon's throat in the next episode, "Sundown." Big whoppers here: Episode 6.15. "Across the Sea." 23 AD. We meet the Boy in Black. A woman named Claudia claims to be his mother. Another woman, called "Mother," tells young Jacob she killed their mother. Flash forward to 43 AD. Mother sends adult Jacob to get some firewood. He returns to see his village buirned to the ground. The young actor who played the boy who appeared to unLocke is listed as playing "Young Jacob" in this episode. This is, apparently, actual dialog: "Jacob, what are you doing?" Sounds of yelling, fighting. "I'm going with them... the other people." "I want to go home to my mother." "She's not even our real mother." "You don't trust me, but one day you'll believe me." Who says what, I don't know. The last two lines could be the same character.
Some funny guesses: Spoiler Fiji. Somehow they just never realized it. Hugo. He is so fat that the entire island is his ass. Moon. The moon landing was a hoax, it really is made of cheese and Egyptian hieroglyphs Ohio. Just because! Shit. At least, everything we've seen may be full of shit, and the explanations will suck. Styx. The band, not the river. (Actually, Styx somehow fits in with my Jacob = Hades and MiB literally = Cerberus theory) Unix. Somehow they're all trapped in an operating system, which leads us to... Zion. No, not the real Zion, but the one in the Matrix.
http://lostspoilers-odi.blogspot.com/ Looks like Sayid is going to kill both Dogen and Lennon in "Sundown."
^^^ Kinda bummed that Dogen is going to get clipped - I thought he was a very interesting character, but I'm glad Lennon's getting it. Dogen's secretive nature made him mysterious, but Lennon's "righteous secrecy" attitude annoyed the hell out of me from the beginning.
"Dr. Linus" Sneak Peak 2! http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2010/03/episode-607-dr-linus-sneak-peek-2.html#axzz0h5HC04ZX ELBA
An island centric episode? It better be mind blowing or I'm gonna be pissed without any character development.
