Two Skeletons

[Plomeek Broth]

For fans who have seen Lost from the Pilot through the Season 6 two parter last night, who do you predict the two skeletons in the cave from the first season will end up being?

I have no clue, but just for fun I will predict Jacob and the Man In Black.

Who do you think it will be? For some reason, this is the show mystery I want to know the most.

I thought Jack said the hip bones proved that one of the skeletons was male and one female, hence their nicknaming the remains Adam and Eve.

 

[Plomeek Broth]

Adam and Eve was just the nickname they gave the skeletons.

I just read and forgot that there was a white stone and a black stone by the skeletons. Uh oh! My guess could be correct!

Also from Lostpedia -
In the second pilot episode Locke is talking to Walt about backgammon and how it's the oldest game, 5,000 years old. As Locke is explaining to Walt how to play he says "two players, two sides, one is light, one is dark." He holds up a black and white playing piece or stone, and it made me think of the black and white stone found in Adam and Eve's pocket. We know there's going to be some sort of a war, is it possible the pieces found on Adam and Eve are somehow related to backgammon? To the war?

I'm right! Haha (I hope)

 

[auntiehill]

Adam and Eve.


Nope---Jack clearly says near the end, "One of them is female."

I'm sticking to my guns and fully prepared to go down with the ship.

Yeah, well, Jack ain't the best doctor in the world.

Rose and Bernard, having lived their lives happily away from "you people" from 1977 on, dying sometime before the 2004 crash.

I like it.

 

[Starbreaker]

Yeah... I think it's going to end up being Rose & Bernard... but I'm open to anything.

 

[Plomeek Broth]

That's very possible, but if the reveal is Rose and Bernard (who are nice people that I don't find interesting at all), I will be extremely disappointed. I was looking for something more creepy or sad or poignant. R and B would be really anti climactic to me.

 

[Morpheus 02]

How about Nikki & Paulo?

Rose and Bernard, having lived their lives happily away from "you people" from 1977 on, dying sometime before the 2004 crash.

I'd also assumed that until we saw the opening of the new season. The Rose and Bernard from that timeframe would have been nuked and are underwater along with the rest of the island.

Wait a minute. How come Rose and Bernard are the only characters from "our" timeline that weren't propelled back into the present? Proximity to the bomb?

How do we know they weren't?

 

[Starbreaker]

Rose & Bernard are gonna be pissed if they've flashed again.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

My guess is they weren't close enough to be propelled to the present, but it's hard to say. I would have picked Rose and Bernard as Adam and Eve if they had them living in or by the caves. Since they didn't, who knows?

This would be my guess too. They're in the present now, but no one has ran into them yet.

Even if they weren't, if Jack was right about the skeletons being about 40-50 years old, that's not nearly enough time.

 

[Hober Mallow]

This would be my guess too. They're in the present now, but no one has ran into them yet.

Even if they weren't, if Jack was right about the skeletons being about 40-50 years old, that's not nearly enough time.

I haven't seen the episode where they find the skeletons in a long time, but didn't Jack or someone say that someone else had carefully placed them in the cave?

Maybe it was Jacob who placed them their after they died?

And can some visually tell if a skelleton is 40-50 years old vs. 30?

Perhaps with some exposure ot the elements, the bodies looked older than they were.

 

[Alidar Jarok]

The simple explanation could be just that they were Others (the idea was just to show that they weren't alone), but, then again, the Others seemed to burn their dead.

 

[Checkmate]

The statue makes it clear that the island has been around for thousands upon thousands of years. It seems kind of unlikely that the only two major players were two guys that crashed in a slave ship just a blink of the eye ago (relatively speaking).
