That won't let me view them, but I looked him up on IMDB, and I think that's correct - but it's definitely intentional that they chose someone who could easily be mistaken for Jack. Maybe the writers just wanted all the "twin" fan stuff to keep us occupied for the summer.

superspaceboy said:

Just because it's not the same actors in both roles doesn't mean it's not Jack's twin...

booyah said:

Perhaps...but I think it's more to do with the show than "Bad Twin". Maybe it's supposedly a clone?

twins and clones...


wonder if Sun will have twins.

Byron said:

Exactly. Could be better to do THAT than have Matthew Fox play the twin. There'd be bitching all over about that.

superspaceboy said:

I'm thinking it's a deliberate dead-end, just to get us talking. The general public wouldn't even know (although at first glance it was the first thing I thought during the show - I turned to my wife and said "Is that Jack?", but then changed my mind as the scene went on).

booyah said:

Again...perhaps. The general Public doesn't watch this show...we're all geeks I get what you're saying though. I think 1/2 are obsessed and the other are just watching it.

Byron said:

I ALSO LIKE THE EXPLANATION OF THE BUTTON-PUSHING, BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IS WHAT DID HENRY ENTER INTO THE COMPUTER WHEN THE HATCH DOOR CAME DOWN ON LOCKE LEGS!

The finale was fucking ace.

by the way, 4*8*15*16*23*42=7418880

Is it insane that I have those numbers memorized?

debbiedean2 said:

I had this concersation with "others" as well. DId he or did he not push that button. Henry always lied, however I felt that this was the first time he actually told the truth. And why would he lie to Locke...to stop the button pushing the button that is saving their lives.

kidelrich said:

Not at all - I certainly do.

Some Lost questions:

-When Locke got caught beneath the blast door, do you think someone purposefully triggered the doors to lower the way Desmond was shown to do in his flashback?...Or was it just a coincidence that they came down?

-Is "Libby" an insider for the Hanso Foundation in some way??...She keeps showing up in the Losties flashbacks by 'coincidence' (in Ecko's flashback, in Hurley's flashback, now in Desmond's flashback--AND she just happens to have a boat for Desmond to use?)...is she a link of sorts between all the people who have ended up crashed on the island? Also, when Libby and Hurley first met, Libby said she remembered Hurley because he stepped on her foot while boarding the plane...she remembered him coming on last. Which would mean she was already seated. But Libby was part of the "tail end" survivors...which would mean her seat was behind Hurley's not in front of it...so he couldn't have stepped on her foot while boarding the plane. Is she lying, or is that a script fuck up?..lol..And is she lying because she is (well, was) an insider working for Hanso in some capacity?

-Why is all the computer equpment so antiquated and old if the Dharma Initiative is/was still going strong?...At first it seemed as if the whole Dharma thing stopped maybe in the mid to late 80's, and the "Others" have been stranded on the island since then, undetected by the rest of the world. But obviously it's still going in full strength...why not update the equipment and training films??..lol

-In the flasback with Desmond, Libby says her deceased husband's name was "David"...Hurley's imaginary friend while in the mental institution was named "Dave"...Libby and Hurley were in the same mental institution. Coincidence? Or did Hurley's "Dave" look like Libby's husband?

-When Ecko and Locke found the Pearl station, it had obviously not been used in a very long time...there was thick dust covering everything. When did the inhabitants leave, and why?

-Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, on the island seemed all too concerned about the white flash and sky turning purple after Desmond activated the fail-safe...the Others just went about their business after it was over, and even the crash survivors were mildly curious at best...Claire asked questions like "So what happened back there?", but that's it...and this is AFTER the hatch door flew through the air and landed 5 feet away from her child! ...Not to mention Charlie seemed extremely nonchalant about whatever happened in the hatch, and the possibility of Ecko and Locke not surviving it. Why?

superspaceboy said:

I think the opposite...I think Henry pushed the buttons and then told Locke he didn't...why? To fuck with Locke's mind, which he had been doing all along...as well as to make locke no longer have anything keeping him connected to the Losties' camp. If the button doesn't need to be pushed, he can more easily be pryed away from the group to join the Others...which Fake Henry said was his goal all along.

ok I didn't read a word of that ..but I feel u may be watching to much tv

Ocean said:

It's a wonder why he's such a sucker for helping you out.

Imago said:

Ocean said:

Ok...I've only recently gotten into Lost so not sure if this is old news on here or not..lol...but I saw this on another message board site...kinda freaky, but moreso an interesting possible insight into where the "Lost" creators minds are in all this..

If you open Notepad (not Wordpad or Word, etc)...do this:

Hold down the ALT key, then type in the "numbers" without any spaces (4815162342), then let go of the ALT key...you should see a symbol that looks like this:

µ

This is the symbol for mu (lower case)...

Now go to Google and look up mu..or rather "island of mu". Here's what the first one I clicked on says:

"I ran across a few books, namely the "The Island of Mu," "The Children of Mu," and "Symbols of Mu." I forget the authour's name, but he claims that he's found a lost island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean between Oceania and South America.

In the preface to his books, he mentions that he learned this information from a Hindu priest who kept hidden the secret tablets of the Naacals, which detailed the history of this island of Mu."

And here's a site that deals with...a helluva bunch o' shit..lol...

http://www.users.globalne...lofMan.htm

Most interesting is this section (I'm pasting this from the other site):

"genetic upgrading took place on Mu and the Turaneusiam DNA template of 12 strands was restored amongst the Lumarians and some Alanians...The scientists and priests of Mu were aware of the probability of this forthcoming disaster, and preparations were made....

The individual consciousness of personalities would be trapped in dimensional suspension, unable to hook up to their collective state and the morphogenetic field of the planet Tara. In anticipation a great plan for a rescue mission was devised....now with restored 12-strand DNA and located on Mu, time travelled into the probable future, containing the fallen Earth. They converted their forms, at the collective level of the Ur-Tarranates, into pure energy, creating a gestalt of consciousness that took the form of a sphere.

In doing so, a portal was created from this Earth to Tara prior to its collapse...The inevitable disruption occurred in the core of Tara. Components of its grid system and morphogenetic field were ripped off."

Byron said:

there are hints of lost continents in the Pacific: Lemuria and Mu and atlantis

It wouldn't surprise me if the writers are drawing on those...

Byron said:

Umm I think this is a bit much for not only the Lost writers, but also the Lost audience to undestand.

But interesting ....but from the get go the writers have always said that everything will make logical sense.

Granted they have taken alot of leeway, but if instead of purgatory its alien seeding id be rather turned off.

lazycrockett said:

More an issue of the creators and writers drawing inspiration from these stories than plagarizing specifics contained in them...and it can't be a coincidence that inputing those exact numbers into Notepad brings up the symbol for mu.

But according to the Writers

The numbers have only become an issue because the fans have become obessed with them. J.J. said that himself last fall.

So im a bit iffy on where this came from.
